remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Notice:
Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own

cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-

nect the cable's shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield
conductor to come in contact with the XLR's outer casing. Grounding
the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.

used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic
behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-
nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and
DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last
unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator
(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behavior.

With this feature you can connect the fixtures to one another
using the IEC input and output sockets. The quantity that can be
connected is 4 fixtures maximum for 120V and 8 fixtures maxi-
mum for 240V. After the maximum fixtures has been reached you
will need to use a new power outlet. They must be the same fix-
tures. DO NOT mix fixtures.
