RUSH MH 4 Beam User Manual 13

To split the link into branches, use a splitter such as the Martin DMX 5.3 Splitter™

or Martin RDM 5.5 Splitter™. Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in

the output socket of the last fixture. The termination plug, which is a male XLR

plug with a 120 Ohm, 0.25-Watt resistor soldered between pins 2 and 3, “soaks

up” the control signal so it does not reflect and cause interference. If a splitter is

used, terminate each branch of the link.

Connecting the data link

To connect the fixture to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the closest fixture’s male

XLR DMX input connector.

2. Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX

input of the next fixture and continue connecting fixtures output to input.

Terminate the last fixture on the link.
