  • Page 5: System Overview

    Remember when control stations could be set up as independents, or group them with masters all without having to have a lap top, memorize DMX-512, know Windows 95 or battle the great configuration labyrinths envisioned by dyslexic software engineers? Everything was modular and simple.

  • Page 6: What Is Needed

    What is needed? • 0-10 VDC or DMX-512 Dimmers/Ballast’s. • A DMX-512 Control Console for developing Scenes (DMX stations only). • A +12to +16 VDC Power Supply or Analog Stations (this power supply is not required when used in conjunction with a DMX Station.

  • Page 7: Control Station Operation

    Control Station Operation Play Mode Action Result • Press the ON/OFF (Panic) The LED will light, indicating button to activate the station. the station is active. An Entry or Panic station will automatically activate a scene. • Adjust Master Fader if The Master Fader proportionally applicable.

  • Page 9: Record Example

    Action Result • Slide the Channel Fader up to This snapshots the DMX512 data full where the scene is to be stream, saving the entire scene recorded (continue to hold the under the proportional control ON/OFF button). of the channel fader that slid to full.

    DMX Channel Mode (For DMX control stations only) Action Result • Install Jumper JP1 on This puts processor in channel ANA2DMX PCB. mode. • Dial up the starting address on This selects the DMX start rotary switches SW1, SW2, and address for fader A1.

  • Page 11: Component Functions Take Control Pcb

    Component Functions Take control PCB The take control PCB has a single switch for ON/OFF operation. The take control PCB requires +12 to +16 Volts DC @ 25mA connected across +V and common to operate. The PCB provides a regulated +10.6 VDC source when the ON/OFF switch is activated (turned on) and 0 Volts when off.
  • Page 12 Finally, slide the fader up to full for the channel you wish to record the scene into. As long as the record lockout is not enabled, the scene will be saved onto that channel, and will proportionally fade relative to the slide pot.

  • Page 13: System Design Considerations

    System Design Considerations Place HHR or DMX-512 IN jacks near DMX stations Place a Hand Held Remote Jack from the control console or a DMX- 512 IN Jack where the console could be plugged in near any station that will be used to snapshot scenes on a frequent basis. This way scenes can be activated from the console in the same place they are to be recorded.

  • Page 17: Eliminate Ground Loops

    Apply the following rules: DMX daisy-chain configuration rules (Multiple DMX Stations connected in serial along one DMX-512 line) 1. Do not connect COM between DMX stations.

  • Page 18: Dmx Bridge Rules

    DMX bridge rules (2 or more DMX Stations tied together with COM, each processing its’ own DMX-512 line) 1. Tie stations together using COM. 2. Use a separate 10V/5VA transformer for each DMX Station. 3. Connect the shield drain wire to DGND on the DMX-1 station.

  • Page 19: Advanced Topics

    Advanced Topics Use of blocking (steering) Diodes What is a Diode? A diode is a one-way valve. It allows current to flow in a forward direction, but not in a reverse direction. The input is the anode, or un- banded end of the part; and the output is the cathode, or banded end of the part.
  • Page 20 The 1N4004 is considered a rectifier diode, and is excellent for high-current applications, like the take control circuitry, but it would perform poorly as a signal diode, because it requires significant current to operate properly. Page 20 of 48...
