DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator. 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.

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS
Each XL 1500 must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct control signals.
This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts to “listen” to the digital control information
being sent out from the controller. The XL 1500 has 3 DMX modes. There are standard mode, extended mode and short
mode. For example standard mode has 29 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2 projector’s address
030, No. 3 projector’s address 059, No. 4 projector’s address 088, and so on.
Launch the projector. Press button ENTER or coder knob more than 5 seconds to unlock panel.
