DMX4ALL DMX Relais Analog Interface 1 User Manual
For your own safety, please read this user manual and warnings carefully before installation.
Description
The DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 is designed for several kinds of controlling tasks.
Potential free switch output One potential free switch output (normally open / NO) with up to 8A switching capacity is available.
Switching contact for direct and alternating voltage The switching contact is suitable for switching both direct voltage and alternating voltage.
Analog control output One control output with 0-10V or 1-10V are available for control devices with analog input.
For voltages from 12V up to 24V The DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 runs with supply voltages from 12 up to 24V direct voltage.
DMX FAIL-Function An adjustable DMX FAIL-Function offers the option to hold the current state (HOLD) or to adopt a predefined value if the DMX signal fails.
RDM support The DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 the configuration via RDM or DMX.
Several operating modes The DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 offers several
operating modes which can be set via jumper or RDM:
– Relay + Analog 8Bit 0-10V
– Relay + Analog 8Bit 1-10V
– Relay + Analog 10Bit 0-10V
– Relay + Analog 10Bit 1-10V
– Relay & Analog 8Bit 0-10V
– Relay & Analog 8Bit 1-10V
– Relay & Analog 10Bit 0-10
– Relay & Analog 10Bit 1-10V
Top hat rail mounting available Suitable for the DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 the DIN rail housing 350 is available as accessory.

LED-Display-Codes
The integrated green LED is a multi functional display.
During the normal operation the LED lights permanently. In this case the device is working.
Furthermore, the LED shows the current status. In this case the LED lights up in short pitches and then is missing for longer time.
The number of the flashing lights is equal to the event number:
DMX-Addressing
The start address is adjustable about switch 1-9. Thereby, switch 1 has the
valency 20 (=1), switch 2 the valency 21 (=2) and so on, up to switch 9 with
the valency 28 (=256).
The sum of the switches showing ON is equal to the start address.
Operation mode settings
The DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 has several operation modes (MODE), which can be set per RDM or described as follows:
- Turn on the device
- Set switch 9 and 10 on OFF
- Set switch 10 on ON
- Adjust the operation mode via switch 1-8
- Set switch 9 on ON
- Set switch 10 on OFF
- The LED lights up 4x to confirm the takeover
- Adjust the DMX-address via switches 1-9
Switch 1 OFF: Relay + Analog
Relay and analog output are controlled with separate DMX channels
Relay switches at DMX-VALUE > 127
Switch 1 ON: Relay & Analog
Relay and analog output are controlled with common DMX channels
Relay switches at DMX-VALUE > 0
Switch 2 OFF: Analog output 8Bit (256 Steps)
Switch 2 ON: Analog output 10Bit (1024 Steps)
Switch 3 OFF: Analog output 0-10V
Switch 3 ON: Analog output 1-10V
Switch 8 OFF: DMX-HOLD not active
Switch 8 ON: DMX-HOLD active
Operation modes
DMX-FAIL Funktion
The DMX Relais / Analog Interface 1 has a DMX-FAIL Function which stores the
last value in the case of a DMX signal loss (HOLD) or left the relay unchanged
with a predefined value in its conditions.
The DMX-HOLD function can be activated via RDM or by switch 10 during the
operation mode settings.
Switch 8 ON → DMX-HOLD active
Switch 8 OFF → DMX-HOLD not active
If HOLD is switched on, the last received DMX values are remained in case of a
DMX signal failure.
If HOLD is switched off, the DMX values are replaced with a value set by RDM
in case of a DMX signal failure. In the delivery state this value is 0, so
that the relays switch off.
⚠ In case of a power failure the DMX values held with HOLD are discarded!
⚠ A value set by RDM is deleted when HOLD is selected. After switching off the
HOLD function, the default value 0 is used.
RDM
(from hardware V1.2)
RDM is the short form for Remote Device Management.
As soon as the device is within the system, device-dependent settings occur remotely via RDM command due to the uniquely assigned UID. A direct access to the device is not necessary.
⚠ If the DMX start address is set via RDM, all address switches at the DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 must be set to OFF ! A DMX start address set by the address switches is always prior !
This device supports the following RDM commands:
- Manufacturer depending RDM control commands (MSC – Manufacturer Specific
Type)
Manufacturer depending RDM control commands:
SERIAL_NUMBER PID: 0xD400
Outputs a text description (ASCII-Text) of the device serial number.
GET Send: PDL=0 Receive: PDL=21 (21 Byte ASCII-Text)
Factory Reset
⚠ Before running the Factory Reset, read all steps carefully.
To reset the DMX Relais/Analog Interface 1 to delivery state, proceed as follows:
– Turn off device (turn off power supply !)
– Set DIP switch 1 up to 10 to ON
– Turn on the device (turn on power supply)
– The LED lights up 20x during ca. 3 seconds
→ While the LED lights up set DIP switch 10 to OFF
– Now, the Factory Reset is executed
→ The LED lights up with error code 4
– Turn off the device (turn off power supply !)
– Now, the device can be used
⚠ If a Factory Reset is needed again, this procedure can be repeated at any time.
