Install the appropriate DMX and power wires. Insure the path is safe and away from the public and not prone to
damage as these wires carry the DMX signals and power to/from the unit for the lighting system. It is recommended to
install inside a conduit. Connect the DMX generating device, power supply, and DMX output wires source to the
installed wires, check for accuracy, check the polarity of the power supply on both ends before applying power. Turn
the unit on and check for that the power LED is illuminated. Send DMX data, the data LED should be illuminated.
Record scenes as needed and check for proper operation.
Connect DMX source wires (lighting board or similar) into the input screw terminals labeled: -2 and +3 (XLR
connector pins 2 and 3 respectively)
See PCB Wiring Diagram, and WIRE Example.
The input is terminated locally so
loop thru is not recommended. Connect the DMX output destination wires to the screw terminals labeled: Gnd, -2, and
+3. Connect the power supply to positive and ground wires to the PWR in terminals -
CHECK POLARITY BEFORE
CONNECTING, REVERSE OR OVER VOLTAGE MAY DAMAGE THE UNIT
. Once connected the power LED will
illuminate indicating power is present. Under normal operating conditions and all DMX input and outputs connected,
check the voltage at the PCB and insure that it’s in the range of 8VDC to 12VDC. This is important to insure proper
operation.
PCB DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Set the dip switches for the desired operation and
RESET POWER
to activate the new settings.
To access the dip switches, remove the front cover to reveal the PCB.
D.S. 4: - Aux (Future Use)
4
ON
OFF
D.S. 3: - OVERRIDE SCENE(s) or MERGE/COMBINE with DMX INPUT
- IF DIP SWITCH 3 IS OFF = [OVERRIDE] setting,
all enabled scene(s) will only be active IF there is not a DMX input signal present, (either turning off the DMX lighting board or
disconnecting or unplugging the DMX input). IF DIP SWITCH 3 IS ON = [MERGE] - The DSC5 wall unit will merge/combine all
enabled scene(s) with incoming DMX.
NOTE Dip Switch 2 must be OFF for this setting to be active.
Dip Switch 3 OFF - DMX Input will OVERRIDE all switches
Dip Switch 3 ON - DMX will MERGE with enabled switches
3
ON
OFF
D.S. 2 - DMX LOSS DIRECTIVE
- If DMX is lost or no DMX is present on the input this setting determines the state of the
DMX output of the DSC5 wall unit.
NOTE: If ON then the switch outputs will not be sent unless there is DMX present on the
input and the unit is in the MERGE mode. Otherwise once the DMX input signal is lost the output will turn off.
Dip Switch 2 OFF - The DMX output is always on/active
Dip Switch 2 ON - If the DMX input is lost then the DMX output is turned off
2
ON
OFF
D.S. 1: - TRANSITION / FADE RATE
- Sets the transition rate for switch/scene setting changes. If a respective scene/switch
is turned on or off the scene recall will either be immediate or have a 5 second transition rate.
Dip Switch 1 OFF - Transition/fade rate = IMMEDIATE
Dip Switch 1 ON - Transition/fade rate = 5 SECONDS

DO NOT CONNECT 120VAC TO ANY OF THE CONNECTIONS OF THIS UNIT.
Plan all DMX changes carefully, understand how each mode will react, and thoroughly test each device after any configuration cha nges.
To abort any settings while in the programming mode, toggle the power to reset the unit, and reenter if desired.
