AUX Input 

- This is a dry contact interface that is active low.  The dry contact is connected between the 

AUX and GND terminals on the DyNet connector strip.  The function of the AUX input is programmable.  
Ensure that the cable length between the dry contact and terminal strip is no longer than 2 metres.

 

 
Service LED

 - The Service LED has 3 signalling modes, which are useful for troubleshooting:

 

Blinking slowly (1Hz) = Normal Operation 
Blinking fast (4Hz) = Network Activity Detected 
On = Fault 
 

Service Switch

 - The Service Switch has three functions: 

1 push = Transmit Network ID 
3 pushes = All Channels 100% 
Push & hold for 4 sec = Reboot 
 

Top Set

 - This adjusts the maximum output that all other control sources can select, ie: if the Top Set is 

fully  clockwise,  100%  selected  by  a  control  source  will  give  100%  output.    If  it  is  fully  anti-clockwise, 
100%  selected  by  a  control  source  will  give  50%  output.  This  control  is  useful for  extending  lamp life 
and  can  be  operated  without  any  form  of  network  control,  effectively  turning  the  device  into  a  stand-
alone power conditioner and lamp protector. 
 

Accessory Module Socket

 - Accepts plug in modules for optional features such as DMX512 ports and 

Time clocks. Consult your distributor for details on the available accessory modules.
