Safety 

Ensure  you  are  familiarized  with  all  key  information  within  this  guide  and  other  relevant  ENTTEC 

documentation before specifying, installing, or operating an ENTTEC device. If you are in any doubt about 

system safety, or you plan to install ENTTEC device in a configuration that is not covered within this guide, 

contact ENTTEC or your ENTTEC supplier for assistance. 

 

ENTTEC’s return to base warranty for this product does not cover damage caused by inappropriate use, 

application, or modification to the product.

 

Electrical safety 

 

This  product  must  be  installed  in  accordance  with  applicable  national  and  local  electrical  and 

construction codes by a person familiar with the construction and operation of the product and the 

hazards involved. Failure to comply with the following installation instructions may result in death or 

serious injury.

 

 

Do not exceed the ratings and limitations defined in the product datasheet or this document. Exceeding 

can cause damage to the device, risk of fire and electrical faults.

 

 

Ensure that no part of the installation is or can be connected to power until all connections and work 

is complete. 

 

 

Before applying power to your installation, ensure your installation follows the guidance within this 

document. Including checking that all power distribution equipment and cables are in perfect condition 

and  rated  for  the  current  requirements  of  all  connected  devices  and  factor  in  overhead  as  well  as 

verifying that it is appropriately fused and voltage is compatible.

 

 

Remove power from your installation immediately if accessories power cables or connectors is in any 

way damaged, defective, shows signs of overheating or are wet.

 

 

Provide  a  means  of  locking  out  power  to  your  installation  for  system  servicing,  cleaning  and 

maintenance. Remove power from this product when it is not in use. 

 

 

Ensure your installation is protected from short circuits and overcurrent. Loose wires around this device 

whilst in operation, this could result in short circuiting.

 

 

Do not over stretch cabling to the device’s connectors and ensure that cabling does not exert force on 

the PCB.

 

 

Do not ‘hot swap’ or ‘hot plug’ power to the device or its accessories. 

 

 

Do not connect any of this device’s V- (GND) connectors to earth.

 

 

Do not connect this device to a dimmer pack or mains electricity.

 

System Planning and Specification 

 

To contribute to an optimal operating temperature, where possible keep this device out of direct sunlight.

 

 

Any twisted pair, 120ohm, shielded EIA-485 cable is suitable to transmit DMX512 data to or from the DIN 

ETHERGATE. The DMX cable should be suitable for EIA-485 (RS-485) with one or more low capacitance 

twisted pairs, with overall braid and foil shielding. Conductors should be 24 AWG (7/0.2) or larger for 

mechanical strength and to minimize volt drop on long lines.

 

 

A maximum of 32 devices should be used on a DMX line before re-generating the signal using a DMX 

buffer/ repeater / splitter. 

 

 

Always terminate DMX chains using a 120Ohm resistor to stop signal degradation or data bounce-back. 

 

 

The  maximum  recommended  DMX  cable  run  is  300m  (984ft).  ENTTEC  advises  against  running  data 

cabling  close  to  sources  of  electromagnetic  interference  (EMF)  i.e.,  mains  power  cabling  /  air 

conditioning units.

 

 

This device has an IP20 rating and is not designed to be exposed to moisture or condensing humidity.
