injuries and material damage. 

Refer servicing to instructed or skilled persons. Contact your Highlite International dealer in case the 
solution is not described in the table.

a 120 Ω termination plug 

 

Insert a termination plug in the DMX 
OUT connector of the last device on 
the link 

Incorrect addressing  

 

Check address settings and correct, if 
necessary 

In case of a setup with multiple 
devices, one of the devices is 
defective and disturbs data 
transmission on the link 

 

To find out which device is defective, 
bypass one device at a time until 
normal operation is restored 

No light or LEDs cut 
out intermittently 

LEDs are damaged 

 

Disconnect the device and contact 
your Highlite International dealer
