DMX TERMINATOR

In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator. This
prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120

Ω (ohm) resistor connected across pins 2 and 3, which is

then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS

Each XL FRAMING 1200 must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct
control signals. This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts to “listen” to the digital
control information being sent out from the controller. The XL FRAMING 1200 has 3 DMX modes. There are standard
mode, extended mode and short mode. For example standard mode has 32 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s
address 001, No. 2 projector’s address 033, No. 3 projector’s address 065, No. 4 projector’s address 097, and so on.
Launch the projector. Press button ENTER or coder knob more than 5 seconds to unlock panel.
