Description

The DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH is designed for several control tasks.

8 potential free switching outputs
The DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH has 8 potential free switching outputs (closer / NO) up to 8A switching capacity.

Switching contact for direct and alternating voltage
The relay interface is suitable to direct voltage (DC) or alternating voltage (AC).

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 8 INRUSH allows the configuration via RDM or DMX.

LED-State Display
The DMX state is indicated via the LED status.

LED-Display-Codes
The integrated green LED is a multi-function display. During to the normal operation mode 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 status number.

Addressing
The start address is adjustable about DIP 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 values of the switches set to ON corresponds to the start address.

DMX-HOLD Function
The DMX-RELAIS 8 INRUSH has a DMX-FAIL function keeping the last DMX value (HOLD) or uses a predefined value set by RDM in case of a failed DMX signal. The HOLD function can be activated via RDM or switch 10:

• Switch 10 ON  DMX-HOLD activated
• Switch 10 OFF  DMX-HOLD not activated
  • (RDM configuration is used)

If HOLD is switched on (switch 10 = ON), the last received DMX values remain in case of a DMX signal failure.
If HOLD is switched off (switch 10 = 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.

Select operating mode

Hysteresis 127/128
In this operating mode, the relays switch independently of each other each via one DMX channel. The switching threshold (Hysteresis) is 127/128 which 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.

Hysteresis 0/1
In this operating mode, the relays switch independently of each other each via one DMX channel. The switching threshold (Hysteresis) is 0/1 which 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

Hysteresis 100/150
In this operating mode, the relays switch independently of each other each via one DMX channel.  The switching threshold (Hysteresis) is 100/150 which 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.

Exclusive (Jalousie-Control)
In this operating mode, 2 relays are linked to one another so that 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.

Monostable 1Second (Impulse)
In this operating mode, the relays switch independently of each other each via one DMX channel.  As soon as the DMX value is 128 or greater, the relay switches for 1 second. After that, the DMX value must first drop below 128 in order to trigger another switching pulse.

RDM (from hardware V2.2)
RDM is the short form for Remote Device Management. As soon as the device is within the system, device-dependent settings can 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 8 INRUSH must be set to OFF ! A DMX start address set by the address switches is always prior !

This device supports the following RDM commands:
