Wiring An Independent Control Station; Wiring A Single Or Multiple Entrance Control Stations To A Master Control Station; Wiring Two Or More Master Control Stations Together With "Take Control - JOHNSON SYSTEMS CS-DMX Series User Manual

Wiring an Independent Control Station

An independent control station requires 2 conductors for V+ and common, and a single DMX
cable for the DMX out connection.

Wiring a Single or Multiple Entrance Control Stations
to a Master Control Station
An entrance control station (Part Numbers: CS-SA-ENT2B and CS-SA-ENT3B) is typically
installed at an entrance location and used to trigger a master control station into the "ON", "DIM"
or "OFF" state. The entrance station(s) and master station mimic each other when a button
is pressed. Wiring between a single or multiple entrance stations and master station requires
2 conductors for V+ and common, and 3 conductors for the switches (ON, DIM and RST), 1
conductor for each switch function. A single DMX cable is required from the master control station
to the DMX receiving device.

Wiring Two or More Master Control Stations
Together with "Take Control"
When two or more master control stations are controlling the same device (DMX channels), "take
control" is typically required. When a button is pressed on one of the master control stations, it
will automatically "take control" from the other master control stations and put them in the "OFF"
state. Wiring between the master control stations requires 2 conductors for V+ and common, and
1 conductor for reset (RST) "take control". A DMX cable between the control stations is required,
along with a DMX cable from one of the master control stations to the DMX receiving device.
