ermination.

When longer runs of cable are

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 (DA

T

A

+ and

DA
T

A

-).
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 Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erratic

behavior

.

Te
rmination reduces signal errors and

avoids signal transmission problems

and interference. It is always advisable

to connect a DMX terminal, (Resistance

120 Ohm 1/4 W) between PIN 2 (DMX-)

and PIN 3 (DMX +) of the last fixture.

Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR

connectors for DA

transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fi

xtures

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.

Lamp Replacement:

Caution! Never attempt to

change the lamp

while the fixture is plugged in.

Always disconnect the main power and

allow

the

unit

ample

time

to
cool

before

attempting

to
replace

the

lamp. Lamp replacement has been made simple by incorporating the

use of a flip-up front cover that is retained by thumb screws.

1.

Be sure to follow the proper handling procedures that deal

with halogen lamps.

2.

Remove the thumb screw on the top/rear of the unit that holds the

lamp socket assembly cover in place.

3.

After removing the thumb screw

, slide out the cove from the rear of

the unit to expose the lamp socket assembly.

4.

Carefully remove the old lamp and discard it in the trash.

5.

Replace the lamp with an exact match and reassemble in reverse

order

.

:

This

fixture

is
fitted

with

halogen

lamps

which

are

highly

susceptible

to damage if improperly handled. Never touch the

lamps

with

your

bare

fingers

as

the

oil

from

your

hands will shorten lamp life.

Also, never move the

fixture until the lamps have had ample time to cool.

Remember

, lamps are not covered under warranty

conditions.
