4.Connect a male terminator to the Data Out connector of the last fixture in the link. For information on obtaining a terminator, see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-2.

Installing a Terminator

Install a 120 ohm, 1/4 watt (minimum) terminator in the fixture’s Data Out (female) cable connector in the last fixture on each DMX link. A terminator on the last fixture of the link prevents data reflection, which can corrupt the data communication on the link.

Purchase a terminator from a High End Systems dealer/distributor (see “Optional Accessories” on page 1-2), or follow the instructions below to construct a terminator.

To construct a terminator:

1.Disassemble a male 5-pin XLR connector.

2.Solder a 120 ohm resistor, minimum of 1/4 watt, between pins two and three.

3.Reassemble the XLR connector

Powering On the Fixture

Caution: Do not power on the fixture until verifying that the line cord cap is suitable for the power source in your location.

Warning: This equipment for connection to a branch circuit having a maximum overload protection of 20 A.

To power on the DL.1 fixture, simply connect it to an appropriately-rated power source and turn the power switch located on the rear of the fixture to the ON () position. After being connected, controller commands can remotely power up or shutdown the fixture, (see “Control Function Options” on page 4-4in the Standard Protocol table.) before performing procedures that require the fixture to be disconnected from power.

Homing the Fixture

When the DL.1 fixture is connected to an appropriately-rated power source, it automatically begins a homing procedure to verify that the major functions of the fixture and projector are oriented properly. The initial homing ends with the display in the Menu Locked mode.
