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 120Ω (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 projector 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. PR5000 Wash Beam has 3 DMX modes. There are standard mode, extended mode
and short mode. For example standard mode have 17 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2
projector’s address 018, No. 3 projector’s address 035, No. 4 projector’s address 052, and so on.
Launch the projector. Press button ENTER or encoder knob more than 5 seconds to unlock panel.
