Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to
connect a DMX signal terminator.
CAUTION
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture's chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a
ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to check correct polarity and
to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
