DESCRIPTION 

 

The SC910 is designed to be a compact DMX controller 
and  remote  station  control  device.  When  used  as  a 
standalone  controller,  the  SC910  is  capable  of 
independently  controlling  512  channels  of  DMX  and 
has the ability to record and recall 18 scenes. The scene 
control is broken down to 10 real time fader controls and 
8 push buttons with user defined fade times. This device 
features  the  ability  to  set  a  fixed  output  value  or  park 
DMX channels.  The SC910 is able to connect to a DMX 
data chain with another DMX controller. The SC910 can 
operate  with  other  types  of  Lightronics  smart  remotes 
and  simple  remote  switches  to  recall  16  of  the  18 
available scenes from additional locations. Scenes 17 & 
18 are only available from fader 9 & 10 on the SC910. 
These remote units will connect to the SC910 via low 
voltage wiring. 

 

The SC910 is the ideal device for architectural control 
of DMX512 lighting systems. It can be used as a backup 
to  a  DMX console,  great for  controlling  LED  lighting 
for special events or anywhere that requires quick, easy 
control of a full universe of DMX.   

 

SC910D INSTALLATION 

 

The SC910D is portable and is intended to be used on a 
desktop or other suitable horizontal surface. 

 

 

SC910D POWER & DMX CONNECTIONS 
 

A  120  Volt  AC  power  outlet  is  needed  for  the  power 
supply.  The  SC910D  includes  a  12  Volt/  3  Amp,  DC 
power  supply  that  has  a  2.1mm  barrel  connector  with 
POSITIVE center pin.  

 

TURN OFF ALL CONSOLES, DIMMER PACKS, AND 
POWER SOURCES BEFORE MAKING EXTERNAL 
CONNECTIONS TO THE SC910D.

 

 

DMX  connections  are  made  using  5  pin  XLR 
connectors located on the rear edge of the SC910D

SC910D SIMPLE REMOTE CONNECTIONS 
 

 

The DB9 connector pins 1 - 5 are used for connecting 
simple switch remotes.  
 
An example with two switch remotes is shown below. 
 

 

 

The  example  uses  a  Lightronics  APP01  switch  station 
and  a  typical  pushbutton  momentary  switch.  If  the 
SC910D  simple  switch  functions  are  set  to  factory 
default  operation,  then  the  switches  will  operate  as 
follows: 
  

1. 

Scene  #1  will  be  turned  on  when  the  toggle 
switch is pushed up. 

2. 

Scene  #1  will  be  turned  off  when  the  toggle 
switch is pushed down. 

3. 

Scene #2 will be turned on or off each time the 
pushbutton momentary switch is pressed

.  

 
SC910D SMART REMOTE CONNECTIONS 

 

The SC910D can operate with two types of smart remote 
stations.  This  consists  of  Lightronics  pushbutton 
stations  (AK,  AC  and  AI  series)  and  the  AF  fader 
stations.  Communication with these stations is over a 4 
wire  daisy  chain  bus  which  consists  of  a  dual  twisted
