ADJ Startec Series Mini Dekker LZR User Manual

Notice: Be sure to follow figures two and three when making your own cables. Do not use theground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lugor allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR cable’s outer casing. Grounding theshield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.Special Note: Line Termination. When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a termi-nator on the last unit to avoid erratic behavior. A terminator is a 110-120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor whichis connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA+ and DATA-). This unit is insertedin the female XLR connector of the last unit in your daisy chain to terminate the line. Using a cableterminator (ADJ part number Z-DMX/T) will decrease the chances of erratic behavior.5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors. Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA trans-mission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When insert-ing standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. These adaptors arereadily available at most electronics stores. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.Mini Dekker LZR DMX Set UpADJ Products, LLC - www.adj.com - Mini Dekker LZR User Manual Page 9
