ALL RACKMOUNT VERSIONS AND WALLMOUNT VERSIONS FITTED WITH INPUT SOCKET PANEL OPTION
•DMX
DMX connections are made via a 5-pin XLR plug, wired according to the USITT DMX512 1990 standard, as in fig. 10.
The DMX output is unbuffered.
If the dimmer is the last piece of equipment in the signal chain, the DMX line should be terminated to ensure reliable
signal reception. This is done by plugging in an XLR plug fitted with a 120 ohm resistor into the DMX output socket.
See fig. 11.
Note that the appropriate protocol must be selected in software: see menu 51.
•ANALOGUE
Analogue control of each channel is via the 8-pin locking DIN plug wired as shown in the diagram.
The control voltage
is 0 volts (0% output) to approx. +10 volts DC (100% output). The dimmer provides a nominal 16V DC 'phantom'
output supply @ 100mA maximum. See figs. 12A and 12B
Check the user manual of any equipment you intend to connect to the analogue input if you are unsure of the phantom
supply polarity and specification.
Note that the appropriate protocol must be selected in software: see menu 51.
WALLMOUNT - STANDARD WITH HARDWIRED CONNECTIONS
When making connections note that the black headers may be unplugged from the circuit board to allow for easier
cable termination outside of the unit. See Fig. 13.
The termination jumper should be placed in the OFF position, unless the Paradime is the last device in the DMX chain.
An optional XLR/DIN plug-in connector set is available as an alternative to hardwired connections.
These connectors
plug in to the white headers which are exposed when the terminal connector circuit board is removed. For this reason
hardwired connections cannot be used when the socket option is fitted.
