Machine Connection
Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol,
however errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices
include use of a terninator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture
behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
To build your own DMX Terminator: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt
resistor, and wire it between pins 2&3 of the last fixture. They are also readily available from specialty
retailers.
# When use DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference sources (e.g.
# intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source.
# Lamp and lens of this unit should be used together. And accessory damaged should be replaced by
professional worker or engineer.
# Lamp should be used within lifespan scope. When the lamp used approach lifespan, please exchange
with new one. Or lamp explode may occur.
