Installation When installing the DIN-GWDL and DIN-GWDL-SPLTR, do not exceed the maximum fixture limits. Refer to System Considerations and Fixture Limits on page 20 for more information. Mount the device and make all necessary connections. The MODE rotary dial and SELECT button can be used to test connected light fixtures without a control processor.
Mounting Mount the DIN-GWDL and DIN-GWDL-SPLTR onto a standard DIN rail (not included). NOTE: The RJ-45 adapters can cause interference with the enclosure or adjacent modules. When selecting mounting locations for the DIN-GWDL and DIN-GWDL-SPLTR, consider the extra space these adapters will require.
Consider the following: DIN-GWDL Maximum Light Fixtures: Up to 85 The DIN-GWDL supports up to 64 directly connected fixtures. DMX 1-2 outputs each support up to 32 directly connected fixtures. The DIN-GWDL with DIN-GWDL-SPLTRs support up to 85 fixtures. OUT 1-4 outputs on the DIN-GWDL-SPLTR each support up to 32 directly connected fixtures.
If the cable may come into contact with fixtures or other hot objects, use CAT5 STP cable with an appropriate jacket. DMX-C lines cannot be split using a splitter cable or Y adapter. Use a DIN-GWDL-SPLTR instead. If the CAT5 STP cabling may be repurposed in the future for an Ethernet network, maintain cable lengths less than 328 ft (100 m).
