CONTROL
Terra Linear fixtures use DMX as their native control method, however, it is possible to use
other common control protocols when required, such as 0-10V (source or sink) or DALI.
CONTROL INPUTS VIA CONVERTERS
•
DMX - connect a DMX input directly into the feed cable.
•
0-10V - use an Acclaim Lighting ZDM 6 (or similar) to convert one or more analog control
feeds into a combined DMX feed
¹
.
•
DALI - use an Acclaim Lighting DDC-1-AC (or similar) to convert one or more DALI
channels into a combined DMX feed
¹
.
CONTROL INPUTS VIA AN XTR DRIVER
The XTR Driver 4000 and 8000 units can accept DMX, 0-10V or DALI control inputs directly.
The latter two methods are converted within the driver
²
before being transmitted as DMX
within the consolidated output, together with the high voltage XTR power.
NOTES:
¹
When using Acclaim Lighting ZDM 6 or DDC-1-AC modules it is possible to convert up to six
0-10V feeds or up to 64 DALI channels into separate DMX channels within a consolidated feed -
thus allowing multiple Terra Linear fixtures to be uniquely addressed.
²
When using an XTR Driver, the internal conversion supports either a single 0-10V feed or a single
‘broadcast’ DALI channel - meaning that all Terra Linear fixtures will use the same single control
address. To benefit from multiple channels, use a ZDM 6 or DDC-1-AC to externally convert signals.
