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.

information being sent out from the controller. The XL WASH 1500 has 3 DMX modes. There are standard mode,
extended mode and short mode. For example standard mode has 17 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001,
