DMX10V User Guide Description
The DMX10V is a DMX to 10 Volt Converter / Switch / Solid State Relay Driver. Control any 0-10 volt analog equipment with a DMX source such as a DMX lighting board or any device that generates a DMX (or DMX512) signal. If solid state relays are being controlled then the “switch mode” can be used for switching the outputs.
In the VARIABLE MODE the output voltage will vary from 0 to 10V in respect to the corresponding DMX level. For example if the DMX start channel is assigned to 10, and the level on channel 10 is 127, then the 1st output will be +5 volts, 0 = 0 volts, 255 = 10 volts etc. Each output will source 20mA (sinks 10mA). Useful for several applications including converting 10V dimmers (insure your dimmers work within these specifications).
In the SWITCH MODE the output voltage will either be full ON or full OFF (0V or 10V) in respect to the corresponding DMX level. Useful for non varying control voltages or driving Solid State Relays (SSR) for example. The Switch output function has a threshold of 50% that will cause the outputs to either be fully on or off. To eliminate unwanted changes at the 50% level, a padded value has been implemented. To turn ON the respective output, the DMX level must be 131 or above, to turn OFF, the level must drop to 125 or below.
DMX512 Input connects to the pins shown above from the DMX512 input XLR connector pins 2 and 3 respectively. Set the terminating switch to “ON” if the DMX signal ends at the DMX input terminal. If the DMX input terminal is looped to another DMX device (limit 32) then set the terminating switch to “OFF”.
Stand Alone Mode - If a DMX signal is not present the Stand Alone Mode
is active. The outputs can be set to be OFF or full ON.
Dip Switches NOTE - V8.1x no longer requires a power reset for dip switch
setting changes
Dip Switch’s 1~9: (Must be in the range of 1-511 to respond to the DMX
input) sets the DMX512 start channel (see the DMX512 Channel Assignment
Document). The 1st 10 volt output is controlled by the assigned DMX channel,
the 2nd output is controlled by the assigned DMX channel +1 (consecutively)
and so on.
Dip Switch 10: sets the output mode for all outputs – OFF (down position) =
VARIABLE MODE the outputs vary with the respective DMX levels, ON (up
position) = SWITCH MODE – outputs either ON or OFF set by the threshold values
mentioned above.
DIP Switch 11: OFF (down position) = In the Stand Alone Mode (no DMX is
present on the input terminal) all of the outputs will be OFF, ON (up
position) = In the Stand Alone Mode all of the outputs will turn ON.
DIP Switch 12: OFF (down position) = Normal Operation, ON (up position) =
Hardware Initialization Mode.
When installing or uninstalling a sub module, the hardware initialize dip
switch requires toggling on/off indicated with a rapid yellow LED flash. This
will activate or deactivate the specific modules. This sets the internal
software settings for the attached hardware.
LED Indicators – LED’s to indicate the status of the DMX10V. The power
LED will illuminate indicating power is applied.
DATA LED:
ON = indicates DMX data is being received.
OFF = indicates no DMX data is being received and the unit is in Stand Alone
Mode
SLOW BLINK = DMX receive error [overrun error] (reset clears)
FAST BLINK = Communications error(s) with the output circuits (reset clears).
If error continues reinitialize the hardware with the instructions above.
(V8.1x no longer requires a power reset)
