Red. Indicates the internally isolated

power supply for input processing is

working correctly. Off indicates no

power.

OVERVIEW

Pathway eDIN DMX/RDM Splitters allow the bi-

directional communications necessary for E1.20

Remote Device Management in DMX512

installations requiring star-wiring. Full opto-

isolation between all ports adds maximum

protection against common mode voltages or

ground faults for connected equipment.

The eDIN DMX/RDM Splitter features terminal strips

that can be removed from the card to facilitate easy wir-

ing installation or replacement. Make the following con-

nections, WITH THE POWER TURNED OFF, and ob-

serve ESD precautions by ensuring the installer is prop-

erly grounded before handling the module.

POWER

The DMX/RDM Splitter is designed to run on a range of

voltages from 9-30 volts DC. Each eDIN module re-

quires 6 watts. Observe the correct polarity when con-

necting to V+ and V-. A second set of terminals are pro-

vided as a thru connection to other eDIN modules. The

EARTH GND terminal must be connected to the enclo-

sure’s chassis or electrical ground terminal to ensure

EMC compliance.

DMX

DMX connections consist of a shield and a data pair. A

optional second auxiliary data pair is also occasionally

employed. DMX IN usually comes from a control con-

sole, Pathport

node, architectural controller or opto-

splitter. DMX THRU provides a means to daisy-chain

DMX to other eDIN modules.

Connect DATA+ and DATA- to D1+ and D1– on

the DMX IN terminal. Connect the cable shield or com-

mon to the SHLD COM terminal. Observe the same

polarity convention throughout the system while con-

necting the four outputs.
