Settings
Either the settings can be made via RDM or directly at the DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH+ via the 3 buttons at the 7 segment display.

Key Lock
After turning on the DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH+ or if no button is pressed for ca. 15 seconds the key lock starts automatically and the set DMX start address is showed. The activated key lock is displayed via a lighting dot right below in the display. To release the key lock, any key must be pressed for ca. 3 seconds. During this time, the key lock indicator flashes until it finally goes out.

Menu Guide
Various menu items are shown via the display, which can then be set using the buttons UP or DOWN. The menu item is displayed with a letter abbreviation followed by the set value. The letter abbreviations are assigned as follows:

• A DMX-Start address

• PE Personality

• F Fail-Mode

• oFF AutoOff Time

The menu navigation is shown as follows:

DMX-Address
Via the RDM parameter DMX_START_ADDRESS or directly at the device under menu A the start address can be set. By pressing the buttons UP or DOWN the start address can be set in a arrange of 1 and 512. If UP or DOWN is pressed held, the start address increases or decreases until the button is pressed.

Display Switch Off

To avoid disturbing lighting points during the operation, the DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH+ display can be switched off. The shutdown can occur manually or automatically. Manually it takes place via the RDM parameter DISPLAY_LEVEL. To activate the automatic shutdown the RDM parameter DISPLAY_AUTO_OFF Is to select or the menu oFF directly at the device. The time, after which the shutdown should take place is to select between 1 and 9 minutes or off (-) by pressing the buttons UP or DOWN.

The display shutdown is only in the normal operation (permanent applied DMX- Signal) possible after the set time runs out. If the DMX-Signal gets lost or a button is pressed at the device the display is switched on and the passed time is reset.

DMX-Fail Behavior
The DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH+ has a DMX-FAIL function keeping the last switching state (HOLD) or set the predefined switching state to the set value. In case of DMX fail the behavior can be set via the RDM parameter DMX_FAIL_MODE or directly at the device in the menu F. Using the buttons UP or DOWN the value is set in a range of 0 and 255. If UP or DOWN is pressed held, the value increases or decreases automatically until the button is pressed. If the maximum value of 255 is reached, the hold function is activated by pressing UP again. Pressing DOWN again the hold function is deactivated again.

• In case of a power fail the hold switching states are not restored with the hold function. In this case the switching states are set OFF.

Operation Modes

The DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH+ has several operation modes (Personality).

• Personality 1: Hysteresis 127/128
• Personality 2: Hysteresis 0/1
• Personality 3: Hysteresis 100/150
• Personality 4: Exclusive (Jalousie-Control)
• Personality 5: Monostable 1Second (Impulse)

The number of the needed DMX channels and their assignment as well as the way of controlling the outputs depends on the Personality.

The Personality is to choose via the RDM parameter DMX_PERSONALITY or at the device in the menu PE. By pressing the buttons UP or DOWN the Personality is set between 1 and 19.

The DMX address assignment is described on the following pages.

Personality 1: Hysteresis 127/128
In this operation mode, the relays switch of each other independently, each via one DMX channel. The switching threshold (Hysteresis) is 127/128. That means that the relay is switched off when the DMX value is 127 or less and that the relay is switched on when the DMX value is 128 or greater.

Personality 2: Hysteresis 0/1
In this operation mode, the relays switch of each other independently, each via one DMX channel. The switching threshold (Hysteresis) is 0/1. That means that the relay is switched off when the DMX value is 0 and that the relay is switched on when the DMX value is 1 or greater.

Personality 3: Hysteresis 100/150
In this operation mode, the relays switch of each other independently, each via one DMX channel. The switching threshold (Hysteresis) is 100/150. That means that the relay is switched off when the DMX value is 100 or less and that the relay is switched on when the DMX value is 150 or greater.

Personality 4: Exclusive (Jalousie-Control)
In this operation mode, 2 relays are linked to one another, so only one relay can switch at a time. The switching threshold (hysteresis) is 127/128, which means that the relay is switched off when the DMX value is 127 or less. The relay is switched on when the DMX value is 128 or greater. However, two linked relays (1 + 2/3 + 4/5 + 6/7 + 8) cannot be switched on at the same time.

The relays don’t switch, only the status LED flashes

Factory Reset

Before running the Factory Reset, read all steps carefully. To reset the DMX- RELAIS 8 INRUSH+ into the delivery conditions use the RDM parameter FACTORY_DEFAULTS or proceed as follows directly at the device:

• Turn off the device (Disconnect power supply !)
• Open housing, by carefully opening the side tab with a screw driver
• Turn the address switches 1 up to 10 on ON
• Turn on the device (Turn on power supply)
• Now, the LED next to the address switch flashes within ca. 3 seconds for 20x
  • During the LED flashes set switch 10 on OFF
• The Factory Reset is going to proceed
  • Now, the LED next to the address switch flashes with 4 short light impulses
• Turn off the device (Disconnect power supply!)
• Set all switches on OFF
• Close housing
• Now, the device is ready for use

If a further Factory Reset is necessary, this process can be repeated
