The eDIN user interface has two operating modes:
Function and Edit. Press the ▲ or ▼ buttons to select a
function, indicated by the LED next to ADDRESS, MODE,
UTIL, or TEST. Once selected, press and hold the
ENTER button until a dot appears in the lower right-hand
corner of the display. The card is now in EDIT mode.
ADDRESS changes the DMX start address. MODE sets
one of nine different operating modes. TEST allows the user to test
the contact closures using the ▲ or ▼ buttons. Test patterns depend
on what mode the card is operating in. For UTIL mode, see the
section labeled “UTIL MODE” to the right.
Once in EDIT mode, choose from the following:
•
MODE 1:
12-Channel Maintained Control
Each relay is maintained “on” as long as the DMX value of its
associated channel is above 50%.
•
MODE 2:
12-Channel Momentary Control
When the DMX channel for a given relay passes through the
50% threshold, either increasing or decreasing, the relay will
close for 100mS.
•
MODE 3:
12-Channel Momentary “ON”
When the DMX channel for a given relay is increasing and
passes through the 50% threshold, the relay will close for 100mS.
•
MODE 4:
6-Channel Momentary Split
Each adjacent pair of relays are associated with a single DMX
channel. When the DMX level of the channel for a given relay
pair passes through the 50% threshold, increasing, the lower
number relay will close for 100mS. When the DMX level for a
given pair passes through the 50% threshold, decreasing, the
higher number relay will close for 100mS.
•
MODE 5:
6-Channel Maintained Split
Each adjacent pair of relays are associated with a single DMX
channel. When the DMX level of the channel for a given pair
passes through the 50% threshold, increasing, the lower number
relay will close and maintain state, while the higher number relay
will open. When the DMX level for a given pair passes through
the 50% threshold, decreasing, the lower number relay will open
while the higher number relay will close and maintain state.
•
MODE 6:
12-Channel Momentary Split with Secondary
‘Reset’
2 sequential DMX channels are associated with each adjacent
pair of relays. When the lower DMX channel increases through
50%, the lower numbered relay will close for 100mS. When the
lower DMX channel decreases through 50%, the higher-num
-
bered relay will close for 100mS. To provide a secondary reset,
when the higher DMX channel passes through 50%, increasing,
the higher relay will close for 100mS. If the higher DMX channel
decreases through 50%, the relays remain unchanged.
Firmware 1.6.0 and higher: UTIL adjusts the DMX trigger threshold.
Valid range is 2 to 253, with a default of 128 (50%). Feature not
available on older firmware.
Firmware 1.5.5 and lower:
•
UTIL Mode 1: normal operation.
•
UTIL Mode 2: the number 12 relay will trigger whenever DMX
becomes present or is lost. Momentary or maintained behavior
is governed by the operating mode of the card.
Once in TEST mode, use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to trigger the selected
relay or relay pair. The test function is operating mode dependent
and will cause the card to ‘ignore’ the DMX input.
Press the ▲ button while turning power on to enter Self-Test mode.
All LEDs will flash sequentially. The display will cycle 0 through 9,
then show the cards serial number and firmware version. Cycle
power to end self-test.
The 1003 is fully compliant with ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Man
-
agement as a responder device. An RDM Controller can discover
and set the card’s DMX start address, firmware version and operat
-
ing mode. Starting with firmware 1.5.5, and RDM utility (Pathscape)
can upgrade the firmware in the field.

MODE 7:
Chase
Each relay will be triggered for two seconds. This mode is in
-
tended as a test feature, independent of the user-initiated TEST
mode.
•
MODE 8:
Single Channel Select
Raising the DMX level of the start channel will maintain each
relay in turn, from none up to the twelfth. At a DMX percentage
between 0-8%, no relays will be triggered; a DMX percentage
between 9-16% will maintain relay 1 only; a DMX percentage
between 17% and 24% will maintain relay 2 only; and so on. In
this mode, the Contact Closure Interface has a DMX footprint of
one channel.
•
MODE 9:
Single Channel Build
Raising the DMX level of the start channel will trigger each re
-
lay additionally. At zero percent, no contact closures will trigger,
while at full, all twelve contact closures are triggered. At a DMX
percentage between 0-8%, no relays will be triggered; a DMX
percentage between 9-16% will maintain relay 1 only; a DMX
percentage between 17% and 24% will maintain relay 1 and relay
2; and so on. In this mode, the Contact Closure Interface has a
DMX footprint of one channel.
