• 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.
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.
Analog device connection
The 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter has 16 outputs for connecting 0-10 V
analog devices. Each output is connected to both a 5-pin DIN socket and the 25-
pin D-SUB socket: use the connector that fits your equipment. Devices may be
connected in parallel, using both types of connectors, for paired control of up to
32 devices. The pin number of each output is shown on the rear panel.
Connections can be tested without a controller by setting all pins on the
converter’s DIP-switch to the off position and then applying power to the
converter and the devices. The 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter applies 10 volts
to each output in a chase sequence.
Controller connection
The converters’s serial data link sockets are wired pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to signal
- (cold), and pin 3 to signal + (hot). They are compatible with DMX devices. For
compatibility with Martin RS-485 devices, pins 2 and 3 can be swapped. See
“XLR pin-out” on page 5.
1 For DMX operation, connect a data cable (included) to the controller’s data
output. If controller has a 5-pin output, use a 5-pin male to 3-pin female
adaptor cable (P/N 11820005).
2 For Martin operation, either (1) connect a phase-reversing cable (P/N
11820006) to the controller’s data output, or (2) connect a regular cable and
swap the polarity of the converter’s XLR connectors.
3 Lead the data cable from the controller to the 516-II DMX to 0-10 V Converter.
Plug the cable into the serial data link In socket.
4 Connect any additional converters or digitally-controlled fixtures output to
input (daisy-chain). When connecting 2 fixtures with reversed polarity, insert
