3 Applications
The unit SR-103DMX is specially designed for appli-
cation in DMX-controlled lighting systems and serves
to split DMX control signals or to amplify signals in
case of long control cables. It is equipped with 3-pole
XLR connectors. The inputs and outputs are DC sep-
arated by optoelectronic couplers.
4 Setting into Operation
All connections should be made by skilled personnel
only. Fig. 3 shows an example for connection.
1) Feed the DMX control signal to the XLR input DMX
IN (3).
For connection, it is recommended to use spe-
cial cables for high data flow. Use of standard
microphone cables is recommended only for a
maximum cable length of 100 m. The best trans-
mission quality is obtained with a screened micro-
phone cable of 2 × 0.25 mm
2 or a special data
transmission cable. For cable lengths equal to or
greater than 150 m, it is recommended to insert
the SR-103DMX as a signal amplifier into the DMX
signal line.
2) Connect in each case the jacks DMX OUT (4) to
the DMX input of the next DMX-controlled units.
The jacks DMX OUT are provided with a latching
device. To remove a plug, press the PUSH lever.
3) Finally connect the mains plug of the connection
cable (1) to a mains socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz). After
that, the unit is ready for operation and the POWER
LED (2) lights up.
To switch off, disconnect the plug from the
socket.
If the unit is to be put out of operation defini-
tively, take it to a local recycling plant for a
disposal which is not harmful to the environ-
ment.
WARNING The unit uses dangerous mains volt-
age. Leave servicing to skilled person-
nel only. Inexpert handling or modifica-
tion of the unit may result in electric
shock.
