Dmx Terminator - PR XLED 590PR-8100 User Manual

cannon 5 pin (which are included with the projector) XLR plugs and sockets. The XLR's are connected as shown in the
figure above.
Note: Care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each other. The body of
the plug is not connected in any way. The XLED 590 accepts digital control signals in protocol DMX512 (1990).
Connect the controller's output to the first fixture's input, and connect the first fixture's output to the second fixture's input
and connect the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually connect the last fixture's output to a DMX terminator as shown
in the figure below.

CONTROLLER
In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator. This
prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm) resistor connected across pins 2 and 3, which is
then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.
