Description

The DMX/RDM-Sensor 4 is a converter with 4 signal inputs and can be used both as a DMX output device / DMX source or as an RDM device.
Different Operation Modes The DMX/RDM-Sensor 4 can be run as DMX output device (inputs to DMX channels) or RDM device (inputs to sensor values).
Four Analog- or Digital Inputs Each of the 4 inputs can be set independently as analog input (0-5V or 0-10V) or as digital input (Active Low, Active High or Toggle).
RDM Support The DMX/DMX-sensor 4 can be configured via RDM using DMX.
Sensor Values Via the RDM-Parameter SENSOR_VALUE for each of the 4 inputs the sensor values can be requested.
Settable Average-Filter The average filter can be set for each input and can be used to create an average value that compensates for fluctuations in the input signal.
Settable Slope Correction The output curve can be set for each input using the adjustable slope correction.
Settable DMX-Addresses The DMX addresses can be set for each input, allowing the input signal to be output on up to 8 DMX channels.
Settable Device Label The device label can be set for each input to name each sensor uniquely via RDM.
Lockable Device settings The RDM parameters Lock Pin and Lock State allow or avoid changing saved RDM parameters to prevent unauthorized changes.
Free RDM-Software For setting the parameters via RDM, our free RDM Configurator software is available for download on our website www.dmx4all.de.
Top hat rail housing available The top-hat rail housing 350 or the top-hat rail housing 350 flat are available as accessories for the DMX/RDM-Sensor 4.

Operation Mode

The DMX/RDM-Sensor 4 can be used for two different operating modes. This is selected via the jumper:

Pin 1 and 2 = DMX

Pin 2 and 3 = RDM

DMX
Within the DMX operation mode, the DMX/RDM-Sensor 4 is a DMX source.
The input signals are outputted according to the DMX addresses and DMX personality specified in the configuration.

Configuration

The DMX/RDM-Sensor 4 must be configured in RDM mode.

- Jumper must be plugged for RDM (Pin 2 and 3)

- Connect the DMX/RDM-Sensor 4 with a ArtNet-RDM Gateway - Use a RDM-Software, to set parameters

The free RDM Configurator is recommended in combination with a DMX-Stage Profi RDM Gateway.

RDM

RDM is the short form for Remote Device Management.
As soon as the device is within the system, device-dependent settings can occur remotely via RDM command due to the uniquely assigned UID. A direct access to the device is not necessary.

Lock device settings

The RDM parameters Lock Pin and Lock State allow or prohibit changing saved RDM parameters.

Lock Pin
The four-digit pin code number for the lock function can be set using the Lock Pin parameter.
After entering the correct currently used PIN (Old PIN) in the RDM software (e.g. RDM Configurator), the new, desired PIN can be entered in the New PIN field and saved by setting the parameter.
When delivered, the lock pin is always 0000.

Lock State
The device settings can be locked or unlocked using the Lock State parameter.

The following lock states can be selected:

Value Name

Description

0

Unlocked Parameters are editable

RDM

Parameters cannot be edited via RDM

Locked

When delivered, the device is always Unlocked. The Lock Pin (PIN Code) is required to change the Lock State parameter.

The RDM parameters Identify Device, Reset Device and Display Level can always be executed, regardless of the lock state.
