The figure below shows schematically how to integrate the unit into a DMX configuration.
Connect the device (S) as the last part of the DMX chain, which starts with your DMX controller
(C). To do so, connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of the second last DMX
device in this DMX chain.
Each of the unit's DMX outputs 1 to 4 allow connection of one DMX chain, which in turn may
consist of a maximum of 32 DMX devices. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the
DMX input of the second and so on, to form a series circuit. Make sure that the output of the
last DMX device in the chain is terminated by a resistor (110 Ω,
¼
W). You can further expand
the configuration of your DMX network by using additional DMX splitters at the end of the
DMX chains. Keep in mind that the total number of usable DMX addresses in a so-called ‘DMX
universe’ is limited to 512.
You can connect an additional DMX-chain with up to 32 DMX devices to the direct DMX
output DMX OUT. If you use this output, the LINK OUT / TERMINAL switch must be in the
LINK OUT position (released). If the device itself terminates a DMX chain, the LINK OUT / TER‐
MINAL switch must be in the TERMINAL position (pressed). Then a termination resistor is con‐
nected.
