Equipment Description

2.1

Physical layout

1. DMX Input: A standard 5 pin male AXR connector for DMX-512 signal input.

2. DMX LED: This indicator shows the presence of DMX signal.

3. Power LED: This indicator shows when mains power is applied to the DD-8.

4. DMX Outputs: A standard 5 pin AXR connector outputs opto-isolated DMX-512
signal to the DMX-512 receivers. The same signal appears on all eight outputs.

5. Power input: An IEC type inlet socket connects mains power to the DD-8.

6. Fuse: The position of the fuse holder selects the mains input voltage. Refer to Section
3 for details on setting the correct mains input voltage.
