Power Input Jack: This is the +12VDC power input for the 5600/5601 Transmitter, and
mates directly with the plug on the CTI # 5525 and 5527 power supplies, as well as the
CTI # 5550 Battery Twofer. Although provided with a CTI 12VDC power supply (such as
the 5525 above), the 5600/5601’s internal power circuit will work with any +DC voltage
power supply from 9 to 24VDC, allowing a wide range of battery power options. This
connector’s polarity is Ring- / Tip+.
Be sure the power connection is polarized correctly
before
connecting an alternative supply.
Reset Switch: This little recessed switch resets the Microcontrollers in the 5600/5601
Transmitter. Use a paper clip or other small object to press if required.
DMX Termination Switch: The 5600/5601 Transmitter DMX Input is provided with a
conventional manual termination switch. Switch the handle to ON for end-of line DMX
Termination.
Standard CTI # 5530 7” 5dBi Omni Directional Antenna: This antenna is removable and
position-able. The SHoW DMX Transmitters and Receivers are certified with this
antenna and should be used with it or another approved antenna only to assure
compliance.
5P XLR Male Connector: DMX/RDM Input. Connect your DMX512 source here using
any ESTA compliant DMX512 cable.
5P XLR Female Connector: DMX/RDM Pass-Thru/Output. When the Transmitter is
connected to a conventional DMX controller, this connector serves as a DMX pass-thru.
Upper RJ45 Jack (“ACN”): Ethernet lighting control input. This input is for connection to
a lighting control Ethernet network. Network protocols planned for SHoW DMX include
ACN and Artnet. Other protocols may be provided for. Contact CTI for details.
Lower RJ45 Jack (“Management”): Terminal connection for the embedded RDM Monitor
Web Server. Connect a PC here to access the embedded RDM Monitor Web Server
(see RDM page
23).
