I found the resisters to replace while I read the manual. The ones on ebay are 6 pin though and the slots are 8 pin. second question is what are the ohms of the new resistor supposed to be? The old one is reading 270 ohms.

So dropping the ohms to 56 ohms is that correct

That is the resistance of that part.  I don't know what correct is.  There's probably a big range that would work.

@Traneman What is the resistance of the resistors from ebay? you said you had a few extra. Just wanting to make sure I had a few extra in stock

Sorry I did point you in the wrong direction,those from ebay wont work.

The resistors I have are 330ohm 8 pin.The ones you have I would assume are black in color and are
271ohm.

I do have extra's pm me your info and I will drop a set in the mail.

You want to go to lower resistance so 330 ohm won't help you.

This is right from the owners manual for San Devices.

Pluggable Resistor Networks:
There are 8 pluggable resistor networks on the E682 located just above the upper row of pixel string connectors. Each
resistor network affects the 2 string connectors immediately beneath it. These resistor networks may be changed to a
different value in certain situations, depending on pixel type, and/or type and length of pixel wiring. These networks may
also need to be changed for outputs that are driving DMX devices. The resistor networks must be in place for the E682 to
operate. The standard “as-shipped” value for these resistors is 270 ohms (part number containing “271”. Smaller resistor
values may be needed in cases where the distance between the E682 and the start of the pixel strings is unusually long.

These are the exact ones Iam using and they do work. Sorry goofed again should be 33ohm the part number 0n the resister network said 330.

 ;D

My gosh I think I had it right the first time. 330ohm.

Like I said I have some I would be happy to send you and you can give it a try.

Oh perfect. While I want for yours, am I able to use individual ones if I go to radio shack for testing purposes

I know when I took out the black ones I tested continuity between all and it looks like it's a bank of 8 but the resistance is in pairs

Ok when I said wide range I guess I need to be more specific.  You probably don't want anything over 100ohm.  I think the 56 ohm is what you should order because that's what I've seen a few people use on Facebook and Darrell from Crockett Fantasy of Lights was talking about how he had a ton of them.  There's only 1 reason he has a ton of them.  You want more distance so you don't want to go higher than 270 you want to go lower.  I do have a EE degree on the wall.

@Gilrock Any specs besides the 56 ohms, and 8 pin? Secondly what are your thoughts on using single resistors while waiting. Theoretically it sounds like it would work. I tested the 8 pin resistor and it tested where each of the 4 pairs are reading 270ohms. So I could pick up 4 to test it?
