, Inc. Eight Channel DMX Pack (includes information for -S) S S S S 4 8 USER'S MANUAL -UM
User's Manual - Page GENERAL DESCRIPTION The is an 8-channel DMX- compatible dimmer pack. It contains three printed circuit boards, the load driver module (LDM) and two control modules. The LDM is equivalent to eight solid-state relays (SSR's) assembled on a single circuit board. Power is fed to the from two 0 Amp. breakers on the same electrical phase. Each breaker feeds four relays and each relay is rated for a maximum output current of 4 amperes. The LDM is mounted at the bottom of the 's enclosure which also serves as a heat sink. The relays are triggered by low-voltage signals generated by the modules. These signals are optically-isolated by the LDM circuitry from all line voltage elements. A stepdown 0 VAC- transformer on the LDM board supplies power to the modules. DMX- control information is received by the s over a shielded twistedpair cable. Several, PD408-DMX or PD-MDX dimmer packs may be daisy-chained together using standard DMX cables with -pin XLR type connectors. Each has two sets of address selectors which may be set to unique addresses and will occupy the next four DMX control channels beginning with the address selected at the front panel. When two or more units are set to the same address, their respective outputs work in unison, increasing the amount of load that can be controlled by a single DMX channel. Each of the outputs may be independently configured not to dim. In such case, a DMX input value greater than switches its respective output to 00%, else the output remains at 0%. Figure shows a functional block diagram of the. Figure shows a and a -S in a typical installation. DIMMING/SWITCHING - (See Page 8 for more information) A may control a combination of dimmed and switched loads. Eachof the s outputs may be independently configured not to dim. This is achieved using a HARDWARE lock to ensure circuits do not dim. All four outputs controlled by each may be configured not to dim by the installation of a small jumper on the back of the circuit board. This may be done at the factory or in the field. This jumper may be removed to allow the future dimming of those outputs. Please see Page 8 for location of this jumper. Alternatively, the may be ordered as a SWITCH-ONLY unit, the -S. This unit has all the same features as the except that there is no dimming, and there are no chokes installed inside the unit. All other information in this manual is the same for both the and the PD804- DMX-S. 88 NW 8th Street, Miami, Fl.

4 8 S S Digital Lighting Systems User's Manual - Page DMX Address Setting Up to 8 -DMX boards (two in each, one in each PD408/PD-DMX) may be installed in any one system. Their DMX inputs should be daisy-chained using standard DMX- cables. Different addresses ranging from to 09 may be selected for each dimmer, depending on which DMX channel(s) will be used to control it. Each uses four consecutive DMX bytes from the input stream beginning at the address selected using rotary selectors S, S and address expansion jumper S. (See Figure on page for selectors location). The is shipped from the factory with jumpers S installed allowing a DMX address range between and to be selected by S & S (See Table 4). For higher addresses (-09) jumper S must be removed (See Table ). Non-Dim Output Setting Any or all of the outputs may be configured for non-dim (switch only) operation. This prevents inadvertent dimming, or damage, of loads that cannot be dimmed, such as contactors, mechanical relays, motors, non-dim fluorescent, etc... Since this procedure involves adding external wire jumpers to the board, it is preferable to have it performed by the factory, at time of order. However, a qualified electronic technician can perform the procedure in the field when necessary. Figure 8 shows the location for installing the non-dim (ND) jumpers. The numbers shown next to the ND jumpers represent the corresponding output number of the. Installing an ND jumper makes the corresponding output non-dim (switch only). A DMX value greater than turns a non-dim output to full intensity. A DMX value of or less turns it fully off. Installation Check List BEFORE ENERGIZING THE MAKE SURE: Loads are tested before connecting to dimmers. Breaker feed lines are on same electrical phase. has been properly grounded. All line voltage screw terminals are properly tightened to prevent hot spots. Low voltage data lines connections are properly insulated. Low voltage data lines polarity is observed throughout the system. The is set to the right addresses. Figure - Address & Mode Selection.
