DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode or Master/Slave mode, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX
terminator at the last fixture in the chain. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting
the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120
Ω
(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.
CONNECTING CONTROLLER WITH PROJECTORS
Connect the controller’
s output to the first luminaire’
s input, and connect the first luminaire’
s output to
the second luminaire’
s input. The rest may be deduced by analogy. Eventually connect the last
luminaire’
s output to a DMX terminator as shown below.
