DMX 512
The digital control panel accepts DMX512 signals, an industry standard signal widely
used in the theater and advanced architectural. This protocol offers fast response and
guaranteed messaging between the controller and the receiving device(s) allowing for
a precision not capable with other control protocols. Incorporating DMX directly into your
device adds the opportunity to use theatrical consoles, theatrical station controls, and
advanced architectural systems to control some or all of the relays in the relay cabinet.

Requirements

DMX has specific wiring, wire type, topology, and termination requirements.
Please reference the System Design Guide for additional information on this topic.

Wiring the DMX Connector

Step 1: Connect leads per the following wiring diagram.
Step 2: Twist strands of each lead tightly (making sure that there are no stray strands)
and push firmly into appropriate plug connector location.
Step 3: Tighten the screws on the plug connector - making sure that no bare
conductor is showing.
Step 4: Tie the Drain/Shield wires together and insulate using a small piece of heat
shrink tubing.
Step 5: Install termination jumpers as required. Termination can be accomplished
on the control board by jumpering the 2 pin header to the left of the DMX
connector.

Other Connections

The digital control panel also accepts a variety of other signals. For more details
regarding the configurations for other interface options refer to the Advanced
Programming Guide found on the Leviton website at www.leviton.com.
