Termination Connector

A XLR termination connector is required at the last luminaire (or "far end of

the line") to prevent signal reflections. Signal reflections may cancel out the

signal at certain line lengths, resulting in errors. The terminator is also

necessary for software downloads and running tests on multiple luminaires.

To construct your own connector, you will need the following components:

• 5-pin, male XLR connector.

• Two 1/4W 5% 120 ohm resistors.

Note: A male termination connector is available as an accessory from Vari-Lite. See “Replacement

Items/Accessories” on page 5.
