DMX CONNECTIONS
Three terminals are used to connect a DMX lighting
console (needed to create scenes). They are marked as
COM, DMX IN -, and DMX IN +.
The DMX signal should be transmitted over a twisted
pair, shielded, low capacitance cable.
REMOTES CONNECTIONS
The SR516 can operate with two types of remote
stations. The first type is Lightronics pushbutton
smart remote stations. The other is simple momentary
switch closures.
PUSHBUTTON SMART REMOTES CONNECTIONS
These remotes include the Lightronics line of AC,
AK, and AI remote stations. Communication with
these stations is over a 4 wire daisy chain bus which
consists of dual twisted pair, shielded low capacitance
data cable(s). One pair carries the data. The other pair
supplies power to the remote stations. Multiple smart
remotes of mixed type can be connected on this bus.
Bus connections for the smart remotes are on the
terminals marked COM, REM-, REM+, and +12V.
Refer to the wall remote owner’s manuals for specific
wiring instructions for connections at the remote.
SMART REMOTE CONNECTIONS EXAMPLE
An example using two Lightronics AC1109 smart
remote wall stations is shown below.
SIMPLE SWITCH REMOTE STATIONS
Five terminals are used to connect simple switch
remote signals. They are marked as COM, SWITCH
1, SWITCH 2, SWITCH 3, COM. The simple remote
COM terminals are connected to each other on the
printed circuit board.
An example with two switch remotes is shown below.
The example uses a Lightronics APP01 switch station
and a momentary pushbutton switch. If the SR516W
simple switch functions are set to factory default
operation the switches will operate as follows.
