For synchronous operation of multiple fixtures the fixtures must all be connected on a data-link.
Note: Disconnect the fixtures from the DMX controller before operating, otherwise data collisions can occur

It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm ) into the input of the first fixture and into
the output of the last fixture in the data-link, in order to ensure proper transmission on the data link.
