Miscellaneous Notes

 

The protection circuitry will protect the DD-8 DMX line receiver/drivers
against damage from most faults. However it is possible that extremely high
fault voltages or spikes may damage the circuitry. If damage does occur it is
important to re-route or repair the DMX cables as appropriate before re-
powering the unit. Note that the protection circuitry may take up to a minute to
reset after a fault has occurred.

 

The internal linear power supplies are protected from faults by polyswitches.
These devices become more sensitive to overload at elevated temperatures, and
when tripped the unit should be switched off to enable them to reset. Allow one
minute for these devices to reset once the power has been removed.

 

The DD-8 must be connected to a 3-pin earthed power source. Use of two pin
power sources will reduce the ability of the DD-8 to protect against high
voltage shield faults.
