used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 90-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con- nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator (ADJ part number ZDMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behavior.

5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used, these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

1.XLR Output Jack - This jack is used to send the incoming DMX signal to another fixture.

2.XLR Input Jack - This jack is used to accept a DMX input signal.

3.Dip Switches - These switches are used to set the DMX address. Each switch corresponds to a specific value based on binary code.

4.Option switches - These switches will activate one of four options:

Switch 1: Focus - When activated this switch will center the mirror with a white spot. This will allow you to focus the beam properly.

Switch 2: Self Test - When activate this function will acti- vate a built in self test program.

Switch 3: Inverted Pan - When activated this switch will invert the PAN value. Left will become right and vice versa.

Switch 4: Inverted Tilt - When activated this switch will invert the TILT value. Up will become down and vice versa.
