Allows 128 channels of Luma-net to be merged with microplex in a ‘‘last action takes precedence’’ fashion.
Terminate DMX or Luma-net by closing jumper P6 or P8 only if last device on line.
*DMX should only be terminated internally if IF501 will be always last unit at end of DMX line. A better way
to terminate is to connect 120ohm resistor to a female DMX cable end (pins 2-3) and plug it into the pass-through
of the last unit on the DMX line.
See operator’s manual of Luma-net device for additonal information.
Microplex output is sent as either 64 or 128 channels, depending on the setting of switch A8.
