*To test the data link with an ohm meter, disconnect the link from the controller and measure the resistance across pins 2 and 3 of the XLR male plug. The reading should be around 120 ohms. Readings from 400 - 20,000 ohms indicate the data link is not terminated. Infinite resistance indicates a bad connection, broken wire, or a defective fixture. Very low readings indicate a short circuit in the link or a defective fixture.
