2. SAFETY CONDITIONS
DMX Splitter allows for creating splits in complex DMX installations. According to the
requirements of the standard, DMX route must be made by DMX receivers connected in series,
creating a chain ended with a terminator. It is not permissible to create splits of this route by
simple “splitting on the wire". Sometimes connecting of the receivers in one chain may be very
troublesome, in the case of complex installation a possibility of splitting the DMX route with the
Splitter has been envisaged, that ensures their proper operation.
The PX165 Splitter allows to split the input DMX signal into 6 independent control branches.
Particular output routes are galvanic separated and appropriately strengthened, what
guarantees proper operation of the entire installation. Certainly, connection of the receivers to
particular output routes must be performed according to the principle of the series chain with a
terminator at the end.
Installation of the Splitter is limited to power connection and attachment of the DMX signal cables.
After turning the device on, the input DMX signal is safely multiplied to 6 outputs
The PX165 Splitter is manufactured in a casing for 35 mm DIN rails mounting.
PX165 DMX Splitter is a device powered with safe voltage 12-24 V; however, during its
installation and use the following rules must be strictly observed:
1. The device may only be connected to 12-24 V DC (stabilized voltage) with current-carrying
capacity compatible with technical data.
2. All the conductors should be protected against mechanical and thermal damage.
3. In the event of damaging any conductor, it should be replaced with a conductor of the same
technical data.
4. Connection of DMX signal can only be made with shielded conductor.
5. All repairs and connections of outputs or DMX signal can only be made with cut off power
supply.
6. PX165 should be strictly protected against contact with water and other liquids.
7. All sudden shocks, particularly dropping, should be avoided.
8. The device with damaged (cracked) casing cannot be connected to the mains.
9. The device cannot be turned on in places with humidity exceeding 90%.

10. The device cannot be used in places with temperature lower than 2 C or higher than 40 C.
11. Clean with damp duster only.
