Mounting Diagram

** 

A  passive  loop-through  connection  allows 

onward connection to other DMX512 devices. If 

this feature is not required then the signal must 

be terminated. The product contains an internal 

termination resistor. This is enabled by fitting a 

wire link between 

Term

 and 

DAT+
