for information on DMX addressing of D40/D60 XTI fixtures.
Termination Board Installation
Each D40/D60 XTI fixture is connected to the network through a Termination board which is installed
in a junction box that is suitable for outdoor use. The DMX cable from the fixture is connected to the
Termination board.
Termination
The Desire D40/D60 XTI Series requires that the last fixture on a DMX/RDM line be terminated with a
120 ohm resistor, which is accomplished with the S1 switch on the Termination board. Set the switch
to the ON position to terminate the last fixture. All others on the DMX/RDM line must be set to OFF.
Pass Thru Plug
Removing a fixture from the middle of a data run will eliminate DMX/RDM for the subsequent fixtures.
To allow DMX to continue down the fixture line you will need to replace this fixture with a Pass Thru
Plug. To purchase this Pass Thru Plug, contact an ETC dealer and request part number 7410K4006. For
instructions on building your own Pass Thru Plug, go to
www.etcconnect.com
and search the wiki
articles for “Desire DMX Pass Thru Plug”.
Indicator Lights
The indicator lights on the back of D40/D60 XTI fixture show the status of power input (blue), DMX
input (green) and fixture errors (red). When the DMX/RDM signal is lost, the green indicator flashes. For
more information, refer to
