3. OPERATING DETERMINATIONS
The DMX Split 8X is designed for splitting or amplifying DMX512 control signals in lighting installations. The
features one DMX input and eight DMX outputs as well as an input feed-through terminal for connection to
an additional DMX Split 8X. All 3-pin and 5-pin XLR input and output connectors are galvanically isolated
and protected against accidental application of mains voltages. All outputs are fully buffered, which means a
fault on any output line will not affect the other outputs. The outputs have LED indicators, enabling the user
to check the status of all outputs. The DMX Split 8X is equipped with an alternative DMX input for a
QuickDMX receiver (sold separately) which allows for wireless transmission of DMX control signals to the
splitter. The unit is designed for rack installation.
This product is allowed to be operated with an alternating current of 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz. The occupation of

Attention!
The earth has to be connected! If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply
network, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the
permanent electrical installation. The
device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out
in compliance with the IEC standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current
Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30 mA.
This product was designed for indoor use only.
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device. When choosing the
installation spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust. There
should not be any cables lying around. You endanger your own and the safety of others!
This device must never be operated or stockpiled in surroundings where splash water, rain, moisture or fog
may harm the device. Moisture or very high humidity can reduce the insulation and lead to mortal electrical
shocks. When using smoke machines, make sure that the device is never exposed to the direct smoke jet
and is installed in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke machine and device. The room must only be
saturated with an amount of smoke that the visibility will always be more than 10 meters.
The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation
(particularly in cars) and heaters. The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature
of 45° C. This device must only be operated in an altitude between -20 and 2000 m over NN.
Never use the device during thunderstorms. Over voltage could destroy the device. Always disconnect the
device during thunderstorms.
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!
Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons!
Never remove the serial barcode from the device as this would make the guarantee void.
If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer
damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-
circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.
