This device is only intended for use as a DMX signal splitter as part of the operation described here. If it is not
used as intended, there is a risk of fatal electric shock. The warranty also expires. It was developed and designed
for professional use in the field of event technology - exclusively indoors. Only use the "DMXS8" in professional
use if you are familiar with the functions and are familiar with the operation. Only let other people work with the
device if you are sure that they are also familiar with the functions. In most cases, malfunctions are the result of a
previous incorrect operation. The device is only approved for a power connection with AC voltage, AC100-240V,
50 / 60Hz. Only set up the "DMXS8" in locations that are protected from dust, moisture and excessive heat. The
permitted operating temperature must be in the range -5 ° to + 45 ° Celsius and the relative air humidity must not
exceed 50% (at + 45 °)! Direct sunlight must be avoided during use and also during transport. For your own safety
and that of other people, make sure that there are no cables lying around. In the event of a thunderstorm, the

there is sufficient cable length to the device. Doing so may damage the cable, which could result in fatal electric
shock.
Always insert the power plug last. The power plug must be used non-violently. Make sure that the plug is firmly
seated.
NOTE!
Possible disruptions in data transmission
To ensure trouble-free operation, use special DMX cables and not normal microphone cables.
Part 3: Functions:
This DMX splitter has one input and eight outputs. Each channel offers you a 3-pin DMX socket for connection.
Inputs and outputs are electrically isolated (the outputs also from each other). Each DMX output is controlled by an
independent bus driver. The LINK output can be conveniently terminated via a switch if you do not want to forward
the DMX signal to any other devices.
