Male Termination Connector
A male XLR termination connector is required across (+) and
(-) data lines at the final luminaire or device in a data link. To
construct your own connector, you will need the following
components:
•
5-pin, male XLR connector.
•
1/4W 5% 120 ohm resistor.
Note:
A male termination connector is available as an accessory from Vari-Lite. See
“Accessories” on page 107
.
Female Termination Connector
When transferring software versions from luminaire to
luminaire, a female XLR termination connector is required at
the “master” luminaire. To construct your own connector, you
will need the following components:
•
5-pin, female XLR connector.
•
Two 1/4W 5% 120 ohm resistors.
Note:
A female termination connector is available as an accessory from Vari-Lite.
See
“Accessories” on page 107
.
Loopback Connector
When transferring software versions from luminaire to
luminaire, a loopback connector is required at the final
luminaire in the data link. To construct your own connector,
you will need the following components:
•
5-pin, male XLR connector.
•
Two small segments of 22AWG wire.
Note:
A loopback connector is available as an accessory from Vari-Lite. See
“Acces-
sories” on page 107
