Four Channel DC Controller DMX The DHA Lighting DC Controller DMX supplies power for up to four Varispeed moving effects units. Speed and direction of the effects are remotely controlled via a DMX512 input port or can be preset from the front-panel controls.
R o t a t i o n D i r e c t i o n Two DMX channels are used to control each DC controller channel – one for forward speed and one for reverse. The speed and direction of the DC controller output are derived from the difference between the levels of these two signals (see example in Fig.1).

External cables should be 0.75mm cross section (18 AWG) to minimise voltage loss, particularly over long runs. DHA can supply extension cables and 2-way crossover splitters which combine to greatly simplify wiring runs to remote locations. An example is shown in fig.3.

The cut-out time will vary depending on the output settings of the controller but, provided that external wiring conforms to the standard recommended by DHA Lighting, there will be no immediate damage to either the DC controller or any DHA moving effects connected.
