Product Description:
The Six Channel DMX512 Controlled Relay Pack receives DMX512 and uses
the levels to open or close dry contact relays. A relay is closed when its level exceeds 60%. The
relay is opened when the level falls below 40%. The unit is wired such that when the relay is closed,
the line voltage on the AC input is switched onto the AC output (only the
hot
side is switched).
The
DMX6REL15A-JBOX, designed to switch line voltage loads up to 15 amps, uses 30 amp relays. The
DMX6REL30A-JBOX is the same as the DMX6REL15A-JBOX, but uses two 120 VAC inputs, one for
relays 1 through 3, one for relays 4 through 6. Custom options with different trip points, inverted
action, momentary action, and DMX loss behavior can be configured in the field. Contact DFD for
details.

General Installation Notes:
If enclosure knock-outs are used or if holes are punched in the enclosure for wire entries, the
holes must have appropriate bushings or conduit fittings installed to protect the wires from cuts
and abrasion.
Safety grounding must be maintained through this product. Metallic conduit may be used for
grounding if it is appropriately bonded to the enclosure.
