DMX Scene Controller
Control Signal Requirements
EchoConnect
The DMX Scene Controller requires EchoConnect, Belden 8471 (or
equivalent) plus one 2.5 mm
control signal between the device and the connected Elaho system.
EchoConnect is a bi-directional protocol that uses one pair of wires
(data+ and data–) for both data and power. Echoflex recommends using
Belden 8471 Class 2 wire (or approved equal – see the Echoflex cable
cross database
Specs for equal alternatives). The total combined length of an
EchoConnect wire run using Belden 8471 may not exceed 500 m
(1,640 ft), with a maximum distance of 400 m (1,312 ft) between any two
devices.
DMX
The DMX Scene Controller is designed for communication with a DMX
controller (such as a DMX console) for the DMX input, and DMX
controlled devices including dimmers and LED drivers for the DMX
output. DMX terminations are made to eight-position removable
pluggable connectors on the DMX Scene Controller.
Echoflex recommends use of Belden 9729 (or equivalent) wiring for DMX
control wiring. Alternatively, network cable (such as Cat5, 5e, or 6
category cable) may be used for DMX. See the Echoflex cable cross
database echoflexsolutions.com/files/Elaho_Data_Cable_Wire_Specs
equal alternatives). Echoflex recommends a maximum length of the wire
run at 487 m (1,600 ft).
