2-Channel Dimmer Pack Digital Lighting Systems PD26-DMX User's Manual - Page GENERAL DESCRIPTION The PD26-DMX is a 2-channel DMX-52 compatible dimmer pack. It contains two printed circuit boards, the load driver module (LDM) and the INT0 control module. The LDM is equivalent to two solid-state relays (SSR's) assembled on a single circuit board. Power is fed to the PD26-DMX from two 20 Amp. breakers on the same electrical phase. Each breaker feeds a relay and each relay is rated for a maximum output current of 6 amperes. The LDM is mounted at the bottom of the PD26-DMX's enclosure which also serves as a heat sink. The relays are triggered by low-voltage signals generated by the INT0 module. These signals are optically-isolated by the LDM circuitry from all line voltage elements. A stepdown 0 VAC- transformer on the LDM board supplies power to the INT0. DMX-52 control information is received by the INT0 over a shielded twisted-pair cable. Several PD26-DMX dimmer packs may be daisy-chained together using standard DMX cables with 5-pin XLR type connectors. Each PD26-DMX may be set to a unique address and will occupy the next two DMX control channels beginning with the address selected at the front panel. When two or more units are set to the same address, their respective outputs work in unison, increasing the amount of load that can be controlled by a single DMX channel. Each of the PD26- DMX outputs may be independently configured not to dim. In such case, a DMX input value greater than switches its respective output to 00%, else the output remains at 0%. Figure shows a functional block diagram of the PD26-DMX. Figure shows PD26-DMX dimmers in a typical installation. DIMMING/SWITCHING - (See Page 8 for more information) A PD26-DMX may control a combination of dimmed and switched loads. Both of the PD26-DMX s outputs may be independently configured not to dim. This is achieved using a HARDWARE lock to ensure circuits do not dim. Both outputs controlled by the INT0 may be configured not to dim by the installation of a small jumper on the back of the INT0 circuit board. This may be done at the factory or in the field. This jumper may be removed to allow the future dimming of those outputs. Please see Page 8 for location of this jumper. Alternatively, the PD26-DMX may be ordered as a SWITCH-ONLY unit, the PD26-DMX-S. This unit has all the same features as the PD26 except that there is no dimming, and there are no chokes installed inside the unit. All other information in this manual is the same for both the PD26 and the PD26-S. 7588 NW 8th Street, Miami, Fl. 26 Tel: 05-26-89 or -877-26-89 Fax: 05-26-667 PD26-DMX-UM 0/0

5 6 8 S2 S 7 2-Channel Dimmer Pack Digital Lighting Systems PD26-DMX User's Manual - Page 7 DMX Address Setting Up to 256 PD26-DMX dimmer packs may be installed per system and their DMX input daisy-chained using standard DMX-52 cables. Different addresses ranging from to 5 may be selected for each dimmer, depending on which DMX channel(s) will be used to control it. Each dimmer pack uses 2 consecutive DMX bytes from the input stream beginning at the address selected using rotary selectors S, S2 and address expansion jumper S. (See Figure on page 2 for selectors location). The PD26-DMX is shipped from the factory with jumper S installed allowing a DMX address range between and 256 to be selected by S & S2 (See Table ). For higher addresses ( 257-509) jumper S must be removed (See Table 5). Non-Dim Output Setting Either or both of the PD26-DMX outputs may be configured for non-dim (switch only) operation. This prevents inadvertent dimming, or damage, of loads that cannot be dimmed, such as contactors, mechanical relays, motors, non-dim fluorescent, etc... Since this procedure involves adding external wire jumpers to the INT0 board, it is preferable to have it performed by the factory, at time of order. However, a qualified electronic technician can perform the procedure in the field when necessary. Figure 8 shows the location for installing the non-dim (ND) jumpers. The numbers shown next to the ND jumpers represent the corresponding output number of the PD26- DMX. Installing an ND jumper makes the corresponding output non-dim (switch only). A DMX value greater than turns a non-dim output to full intensity. A DMX value of or less turns it fully off. BEFORE ENERGIZING THE PD26-DMX MAKE SURE: 0 Loads are tested before connecting to dimmers. 0 Breaker feed lines are on same electrical phase. 0 PD26-DMX has been properly grounded. 0 All line voltage screw terminals are properly tightened to prevent hot spots. 0 Low voltage data lines connections are properly insulated. 0 Low voltage data lines polarity is observed throughout the system. 0 The PD26-DMX is set to the right address.
