Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not con-nect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shieldconductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Groundingthe shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.Mega Flat Pak 8 Plus Set UpDMX512 IN3-PIN XLRPOWER POWER POWERDMX512DMX+,DMX-,COMMON123Termination reduces signal e rrors andavoids signal transmission problemsand interference.

When longer runs of cable areused, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erraticbehavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor which is con-nected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + andDATA -). This unit is inserted in the female XLR connector of the lastunit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cable terminator(ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the possibilities of erraticbehavior.DMX512 IN3-PIN XLRUNDREMOTECONTROLINPUTPOWERINPUT OUTPUT SOUNDREMOTECONTROLINPUTPOWERINPUT OUTPUT123Termination reduces signal e rrors andavoids signal transmission problemsand interference.

Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMXfixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used,these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores.
