rako WSR-DMX Installation Instructions

General

The Rako WSR-DMX module is designed to link between a Rako Wired system and a standard DMX Lighting controller.
Commands from the Rako Wired system are passed through the WSR-DMX to control the DMX Lighting.

Installation

Before commencing installation of the Rako WSR-DMX modules, first read this instruction manual carefully.
Rako Controls Ltd accepts no responsibility for any damage or injury caused by incorrect installation of a Rako product.

Location

The WSR-DMX must be installed in a dry location.
Do not install in direct sunlight.
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation.

WSR-DMX connectors

The White RJ12 cable must be connected to a Rako Wired system. This connection provides power and data to the
WSRDMX.
There are suitable connection points for the WSR-DMX on Rako Rak-Link and Rak-Star units. Alternatively the unit
can be plugged into a connection point on the network, either a WPCon or WPConC as shown in Fig.1.
If the WSR-DMX must be remotely mounted away from any Rak-Links and Rak-Stars, then a Rako WP-Con connector
module can be used to provide a remote connection point for the WSR-DMX.

Data

Connect the DMX data to the DMX device using either the terminal connections or the RJ45 socket
provided.

Note

There is no formal standard for the connection of the Data + and Data – lines for DMX. The most commonly found
connection type is supported by having the header connectors in the NORMAL position. If this does not work they can
be placed in the INVERTED position, this reverses the Data + and Data – connections.
