Caution!
At the last fixture the DMX signal needs to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
Ohm resistor between the (-) and the (+) signal into a 3 pin XLR plug and plug it in to the
last fixture on the signal run. Pre-manufactured terminator plugs are available for
purchase from your Mega-Lite dealer (HOS-DMXT).

When rigging a unit it is very important that you follow common safety procedures. Rigging requires extensive experience includ-
ing but not limited to calculating working loads, material being used and periodic safety inspections. If you lack these qualifica-
tions, do not attempt the installation yourself, instead use a professional structural rigger.
When rigging the unit always be secured with a secondary safety attachment. The installation location of the projector has got to
be built in the way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour with out any harming. Installation should be checked at least
one time a year by a skilled person.
