DMX-512 connection with DMX
terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long
distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as in
a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator.
This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by
electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with
a 120 Ohms resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is
then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the
chain. Please see illustrations below.

Led Moving Head DMX starting
address selection
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using
a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture responds to the correct
control signals. This digital starting address is the channel
number from which the fixture starts to "listen" to the digital control
information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of
this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number
on the display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group
of fixtures, or make different address for each fixture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to "listen" to
the same control signal from the same channel number. In other
words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the
fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to "listen" to the
channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control
channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one
channel will affect only the selected fixture.
In the case of the Moving head, which is a 24 channel fixture,
you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the
second unit to 25 (24 + 1), the third unit to 49 (24+ 25), and
so on.
