pathway DMeXit Installation Manual

DMeXit Emergency Controller
OVERVIEW
The Pathway DMeXit is a UL924 certified controller de-
signed to send a control signal to DMX lighting in emer-
gencies to satisfy minimum luminance levels for egress
lighting. DMeXit may be triggered using a wet or dry
contact closure from other building management sys-
tems, or the integrated phase loss detection device.
Upon trigger, a user-recordable snapshot of a single
universe DMX will be transmitted to four separate data
runs. The outputs are optically isolated to ensure max-
imum reliability and are fully RDM compliant so that
your entertainment console or architectural controller
still has maximum flexibility when it comes to commis-
sioning and monitoring your system during normal op-
eration. There are multiple options for restoring normal
operation after conditions have been cleared, including
user programmable time delays, sensing of valid input
signal from the normal controller or a remote restore
button for facilities or stage managers.
