MOUNTING

OPERATIONAL PHILOSOPHY

An essential component of any DMX512

distribution system, the use of eDIN Installation

Repeaters permits star wiring while isolating and

protecting connected equipment from harmful

electrical faults. Pathway eDIN Installation

Repeaters feature self-resetting protection

devices on all ports to prevent internal damage

when severe faults of up to 250V are accidentally

applied to the connected DMX cabling.

To ensure trouble-free operation, DMX512 standards re-

quire that DMX devices be installed in a daisy chain, with

no tees, wyes or stars in the DMX wiring. However, site

conditions may make star wiring desirable or even man-

datory.

A Pathway eDIN Installation Repeater provides up to 4

eDIN opto-splitter cards, for a total possible 16 output

branches. Each branch acts electrically as its own entity,

unaffected by faults on other branches of the star.

Opto-isolation circuitry prevents ground loops or damage

to control consoles by fault voltages on DMX lines.

CONNECTIONS

Pathway eDIN Installation Repeaters are delivered with

the power supply pre-wired to the first opto card, and with

all required wiring daisy-chained to any additional cards.

The following connections must be done on-site.

Model 4808

Pathway eDIN Installation Repeaters are designed for

indoor use in a dry location. Mount the Installation Re-

peater to the wall with appropriate fasteners. Run conduit

into the box through the knockouts provided, ensuring

that line voltage wiring is kept inside the barriered power

supply section.

WARNING

All DMX input/output ports must be

connected to low-voltage data lines only. Do

not connect high voltage sources to these

connectors.

DMX IN is wired to the control console output or DMX

source.

DMX OUTs are connected to the remote DMX devices or

the receptacles for the equipment receiving the console

signal. These may be dimmers, scrollers, or moving

lights, for example.

Power. With the power off, make the appropriate con-

nections to Ground, Neutral and Line of the power supply

in the barriered section at the top of the cabinet.
