Architect & Engineer’s Specifications

The unit shall enable a simple wall-mounted station to control an architectural and/or theatrical dimming system in addition to a standard DMX control console. The unit shall record 16 scenes of 512 channels while enabling any of the scenes to be recalled at the simple touch of the appropriate scene button or via a remote wall station button. The unit shall be an in-line pile-on processor that receives 512 DMX channels, adds a local scene, and transmits the signal as DMX512. Real-time operation assures minimum response time.

Controls shall be provided to activate stored lighting scenes, record lighting scenes, lockout scene recording, adjust fade rates and select remote port modes. An indicator shall be provided to show DMX input and DMX output status. The unit shall include both combined scene and exclusive scene operations. A means shall be provided to create groups of exclusive scenes. Only one scene in an exclusive group may be on at a time.

The unit shall have, in addition to DMX, two remote control ports; one port for use with smart remote stations and one port for use with simple switch stations. Remote stations shall provide scene control from any convenient location. Scene recording and fade time presets shall only be done at the master panel to prevent accidental erasures. Compatible remote stations shall be installable in standard electrical wall switch boxes. A bypass shall be provided which will route a console DMX signal directly through the SR517D when the SR517D is not powered.

Smart remotes shall have LED indicators showing which scenes are active. The unit shall be the Lightronics SR517D.
