STATUS INDICATORS

CONNECTIONS

POWER IN

Blue. Glowing steadily indicates

power supply OK; off indicates no

power.

PROCESSOR

Green. Glowing steadily indicates

processor is OK; off when POWER IN

is lit indicates processor failure.

DMX

INPUT

Amber. Glowing steadily indicates

data signal received; off indicates no

signal present.

ISO POWER IN

Red. Indicates the internally isolated

power supply for input processing is

working correctly. Off indicates no

power.

ISO POWER

A/B/C/D

Red. Indicates internally isolated

power supply for output ports is work-

ing correctly. Off indicates no power

to that port.

RDM A/B/C/D

Amber. Flickering indicates presence

of RDM data packets. Off indicates

no RDM activity on the network.

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.

wires for DMX or RDM to function.

Model 1009 • DMX/RDM Splitter Manual Typical System Layout DMX TERMINATION E1.20 REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT The eDIN DMX/RDM Splitter is internally terminated, to comply with the RDM standard, and does not require the user to provide any further termination. The DMX THRU connector, as well as each output leg, begins a new DMX output run that requires termination at the other end. Proper termination is a 120 Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3 (D– and D+) ANSI E1.
