CONNECTION
There are several ways the unit can be installed.
Example 1
shows the unit installed as the final device before
the data is sent to the DMX dimmers and fixtures. In this configuration the final DMX signal that feeds the dimmers
and/or lights, loops through the DSC5 wall switch unit, allowing the switches to control the dimmers and/or lights.
Example 2
(see EXAMPLE 2 below) shows the unit installed as part of the DMX source by merging the DSC5 units’
DMX with any other DMX generating device(s). In this configuration the DSC5 generates a DMX signal and then is
merged with several merge options using our DMG Merger products.
In either configuration, once the DSC5 wall switch unit has the scenes recorded, the DMX input could be
removed and the unit simply generates a DMX signal to control the dimmers and/or lights in a standalone DMX
controller.

DMX data length is limited to 3000' depending on
type of wire used.
Depending on type of wire used ensure there is a
minimum of 8VDC present at the PCB with the unit
powered.
