All local safety regulations and legal requirements must be observed when installing and connecting the PDE Junction Box.
  • Page 12: Ac Power And Data Connection To Active Junction Box

    AC power and data connection to Active Junction Box Warning! Read ‘Safety information’ on page 5 before installing the product. For protection from electric shock, the power input to the Junction Box must be grounded (earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a 16A (EU) / 20A (US) fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
  • Page 13: Data Connection To Active Junction Box Using Dmx512

    Data connection to Active Junction Box using DMX512 In a DMX-controlled system, an RDM-compliant DMX lighting controller sends a DMX control data signal over a DMX link to the Junction Boxes of the system, and then over the hybrid link to the fixtures.
  • Page 14: Data Connection To Active Junction Box Using Art-Net Or Sacn

    Pins 4 and 5 in the XLR connectors are not used. Data connection to Active Junction Box using Art-Net or sACN Art-Net or sACN data is connected to the system using either of the two etherCON sockets on the Active Junction Box. The other etherCON socket can then be used to daisy-chain the signal to another Active Junction Box or other equipment compatible with Art-Net or sACN.
  • Page 15: Data Connection To Active Junction Box Using P3

    Data connection to Active Junction Box using P3 The Martin P3 System Controller combines control information from the lighting console with a video feed from a media server. This is then distributed to the fixtures using the P3 protocol. The P3 signal is connected to the system using any of the two etherCON sockets on the Active Junction Box.
