- The total wiring interconnecting equipment in one line must not exceed 100 m. To avoid interference in

the line, it is advisable to place a line terminator as the last element in the chain. This consists in a 120 Ω
resistance  between  terminal  2  and  3  on  the  XLR  DMX  OUT  connector  on  the  last  element.  See  the
following diagram:

- Connect the equipment to the mains and switch it on.
