Termination reduces signal error and avoids signal
transmission problems and interference. It is always
advisable to connect a DMX terminal.
(Resistance 120 ohm 1/4W)between pin2(DMX-)and
pin3(DMX+) of the last fixture.
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter-cable.
2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 ohm 1/4W resistor
between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last
unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the input of the
next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very high-speed signal.
