ColorSource Relay DMX
Overview

ETC fixtures manufactured before July 2015 require the Universal Yoke Mount Kit.

ColorSource Relay manages power switching and DMX for a connected chain of equipment. Relays fire at zero cross and automate a randomized turn on delay up to 2 seconds to minimize effects of inrush while turning on multiple fixtures on a circuit or many circuits in a system.

Relay activation can be triggered in one of three ways:

  • Auto Mode: Relay turns on when DMX/ RDM input is detected. Relay turns off five minutes after data is last detected. ( Default Mode )
  • DMX Mode: Relay turns on when DMX address 512 is at or above 50% and turns off when below 50%. The relay can also be patched via RDM to an address between 1 and 511. Changing the address from 512 disables the turn on delay function of the relays.
  • RDM Mode: Relay turns on when it receives an RDM command to turn on. The relay remains on until it receives an RDM command to turn off, or until power is cycled to the unit.

LED Indicators

LED Indicators

LED Solid Off Blinking
POWER Incoming power No incoming power Updating software
DMX DMX is present and valid N/A No DMX data
RELAY Output is on Output is off N/A

Wireless ID Settings

The wireless IDs for the transmitter and receiver must match.The color of the power LED changes to identify which ID is being used. The default ID is 1.

For third-party product compatibility with City Theatrical SHoW DMX products including SHoW DMX Neo®, see the table below.

ColorSource Relay| SHoW Baby| SHoW ID| City Theatrical Description
---|---|---|---
1| Green| 201| Neo Adaptive
2| Cyan| 102| Neo Full Bandwidth
3| Magenta| 117| Neo Low Limited Bandwidth
4| White| 133| Neo Mid Limited Bandwidth
5| Red| 149| Neo High Limited Bandwidth
6| Yellow| 165| Max Technology
C| Blue| Set via RDM| Custom

Note: If there are more than two SHoW DMX Neo transmitters in a system with a ColorSource Relay Multiverse (CSR-M) receiver, make sure that only one transmitter ID is set to each of the following ranges:

  • 117–132
  • 133–148
  • 149–164
  • 165–166

See the next page for a table of safe channel assignments for systems with two SHoW DMX Neo transmitters.

Update Receiver Software

  1. Download receiver software at etcconnect.com and save the file (or files) to a USB drive that is formatted with FAT:

    • Wired receiver: Software file name begins with “CSRD”
    • Wireless receiver: Two software files, one name beginning with “CSRM” and the other with “5995”
  2. Insert the USB drive into the receiver and reboot it. The RELAY LED blinks during radio programming, and the DMX LED blinks during CPU programming.
    While the relay is updating, the power LED blinks to indicate the following status information:

    • Fast blinking: Looking for USB drive
    • Red: Upgrade failure
    • Cyan: Waiting for USB drive connection (no app loaded)
    • Magenta: File not found
