DMX-controlled installations
In a DMX-controlled system, the VC-Feeder accepts DMX/RDM data from
a DMX/RDM controller and 48 VDC power from an external PSU. The
external PSU can be either:
• a Martin® IP66 PSU 240W (identical with the Martin® Tripix Power
IP66), or
• a generic external PSU that can supply DC power at 48 V (the Mean
Well SP-480 48, for example).
The power and data input cables required depend on choice of PSU:

To connect the VC-Feeder to DMX data and DC power from a Martin®
IP66 PSU 240W or Martin® Tripix Power IP66:
1. Check that the system is isolated from AC mains power.
2. See Figure 6. Obtain a Martin® Hybrid DMX Input Cable for Martin®
