SETUP Unpacki ng The 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter comes with the following items. Please check the contents and verify that nothing is missing or damaged. • 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter • 5 meter 3-pin XLR data cable • this user manual Operati ng modes OPERATING MODE OPTIONS The 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter has 2 DMX modes and 1 Martin mode. In DMX mode 1 the 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter performs as an analog dimmer, converting 8-bit digital levels to voltages between 0 an 10 V.
MARTIN MODE SETUP The converter automatically switches to Martin mode when used with Martin protocol controllers. You may wish to swap the polarity of the serial data link connectors as described below so they have the same pin-out as the controller. XLR pi n- out The converter’s serial data link sockets are factory set to the DMX pin-out. For use with Martin protocol controllers, you can either switch the pin-out or use a phase-reversing cable between the controller and the converter.
• Following the cord cap manufacturer’s instructions, connect the yellow and green wire to ground (earth), the brown wire to live, and the blue wire to neutral. The table below shows some pin identification schemes. Wire Pin Marking Screw color brown live “L” yellow or brass blue neutral “N” silver yellow/green ground green Placement The 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter fits into a 2U 19" rack mount. Alternatively, you can place the converter on its rubber feet.
a phase-reversing cable between them. Up to 32 devices may be connected on a serial link. 5 Terminate the link by inserting a male termination plug (P/N 91613017) into the data output of the last device. A termination plug is simply an XLR connector with a 120 ohm, 0.25 W resistor soldered across pins 2 and 3.
DIP-SWITCH ADDRESS TABLE Find the address in the table below. Read the settings for pins 1 - 5 to the left and read the settings for pins 6 - 10 above the address. “0” means OFF and “1” means ON. Pin 10 is always off.
OPERATION The 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter is ready to operate when • the DMX mode is selected, • the voltage setting (115/230 V) is correct, • a plug has been installed on the power cable and the power cable is plugged in, • the controller and analog devices are connected and plugged in, • the control address is set on the DIP-switch. Martin mode operat ion 1 Flip the power switch on the front panel of the converter to ON. Apply power to the controller and the analog devices.
DMX swit ch pack operat ion 1 Turn on the converter, controller, and analog devices. 2 Toggle devices 1 - 8 on/off by setting channel 1 as shown below. For example, to turn devices 1, 2, 3, 4 on and devices 5, 6, 7, 8 off, set channel 1 to 240. 3 Similarly, use channel 2 to control devices 9 - 16.
