Pathway connectivity solutions eDIN 1008 Manual

Model 1008 LED Dimmer
OVERVIEW
The Pathway eDIN LED Dimmer/DC Driver provides
DMX512 control over LEDs and other DC devices.
Each module provides 6 channels of control.
When controlling LEDs, the module acts as a
dimming interface only. The LED fixture will require a
separate regulated
recommended by its manufacturer.
These instructions apply to REV 2 modules.
CONNECTIONS
eDIN LED Dimmer/DC Driver modules feature terminal
strips that can be removed from the module to facilitate
wiring and replacement. Make the following connections
WITH THE POWER TURNED OFF:
POWER
The module is designed to run on a range of voltages
from 9 to 30 VDC, at 500mA per card connected.
Observe the correct polarity when connecting to V+
and V-. A second set of terminals is provided on the
same connector to daisy-chain power to other eDIN mod-
ules. Earth Ground must be connected to the enclosure's
chassis or ground terminal to ensure EMC compliance.
DMX512
DMX connections consist of a shield wire and one or
two data pairs. DMX IN is wired from the control console,
or other source. DMX THRU may be daisy-chained to the
DMX IN of other eDIN cards, or to other DMX equipment.
Connect DATA+ and DATA– wires to D1+ and D1-
respectively. The optional data pair may be connected to
D2+ and D2-. Observe the same polarity convention
throughout the system. Connect the shield wire to the
SHLD/COM terminal.
DC/PWM OUTPUTS
The LED Dimmer/DC Driver interface provides six (6)
outputs that will each handle up to 4 amps at voltages up
to 30VDC. The outputs are of the current-sinking type. A
separate DC power supply is required, appropriately sized
for the connected load, as recommended by the con-
nected equipment's manufacturer.

as
Each output is fully opto-isolated from the other out-
puts, from the DMX signal and from the eDIN board
power supply. Multiple pins are provided to allow for load
spreading. Outputs are connected as follows:
LOAD- (Terminals 1 & 2): Connects to the negative termi-
nal of the load, or the LED Cathode.
V- (Terminals 3 & 4): Connects to the negative or com-
mon terminal of the load power supply.
V+ (Terminals 5 & 6): Connects to the positive terminal of
the load power supply and to the positive terminal of the
load, or the LED Anode.
'DMX PRESENT' RELAY CLOSURE
Wire RCOM to RNC or RNO for a normally closed or
normally open DMX indicator, as desired.
When DMX is present, the closure will be held in a
state opposite to its 'normal' position.
CONTACT CLOSURE 'PANIC' INPUT
When CCL is shorted to IN-GND, for example by clos-
ing an e-stop switch, all outputs are forced to the MAX
output level, regardless of DMX level or signal presence.
ANALOG INPUT
Applying a 0-10VDC input between any AIN(x)
and the IN-GND pin will drive that particular output. Out-
put level is an HTP-merge between the DC voltage level
and the incoming DMX signal for that channel.
Do not exceed 10VDC maximum input voltage.
