IES PowerModule Operators’ Manual v1.4 Isine 3
2.3.5 DMX data signals
All PowerModules are controlled by DMX 512
connected by a two-pair and shield high-speed data
cable with XLR 5-pin connectors (male = input;
female = output).
Pin connections are:
1 0V shield
2 DMX -
3 DMX +
4 DimSTAT -
5 DimSTAT +
The DMX network supports up to 32 PowerModules
connected to one line. For larger installations where
more DMX lines are required, the use of a DMX
booster/isolator is recommended. Any
booster/isolator used has to accommodate bi-
directional data on pins 4 and 5 for DimSTAT to
operate. Suitable boosters are IES code 9601 (5
channels) or 9815 (10 channels).
Termination is required for both DMX and DimSTAT
data on all networks. The last DMX output socket in
the line has to be terminated with two 120Ω 1/4 Watt
resistors connected between pins 2 and 3 (DMX)
and between 4 and 5 (DimSTAT). A ‘dummy plug’
XLR male connector with the termination resistors
fitted is recommended for this purpose.
2.4 Safety
Even though the PowerModule is equipped with the
latest electronic safety protection features and in
some cases an RCBO input protection device, all
normal electrical safety procedures must be applied.
Do not use the dimmer if the mains input cable has
been damaged, or the body of the case is not intact.
