This jack is used to send the incoming DMX
signal to another fi
xture.
2.
XLR Input Jack -
This jack is used to accept a DMX input
signal.

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

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

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 ZDMX/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.
Figure 4
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR
connectors for DA
T
A
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.
The chart
below details a proper cable conversion.
