Tip From Our Tech Department

Our tech department is here to help you with your questions. Many of the questions can be found in the manuals, but sometimes a human voice can go a long way. One of the common questions they get is: Why run a return line from the last device back to the power supply?

Dave Stauss, Apollo technician, responds,

“This is a common question and answer is twofold. First, it creates a current loop to maintain the 24VDC line voltage across the system, reducing voltage drops that cause unwanted resets. Second, it terminates the data signal, preventing DMX reflections.”

If you have any technical questions about Apollo products, feel free to drop us a line!
