DMXTOPRO Interface Converter User's Manual

General Description

The DMXTOPRO is an interface that connects a DMX512 console or control system to a PROTOCOL dimming system. It allows the addressing of up to 24 DMX512 channels in order to control the first 6 modules of PROTOCOL dimmers simultaneously and continuously. It is designed for applications where the sets of general lighting such as house lights in a theatre, auditorium, church etc., need to be controlled by the DMX.

Specifications

Input Control: Addressable 16 consecutive DMX512 channels
Output Control: DATA to control the first 24 consecutive channels on a PROTOCOL lighting system (MODULES 01,02,03,04,05,06)
Connections: Input: XLR5 Male & Female standard for DMX512; Output: DATA & Power PROTOCOL bus 2 RJ45 Jacks.
Enclosure dimensions: 8.00″ x 5.75″ x 1.90″

System Overview and Connections

The DMXTOPRO unit serves as an interface between a DMX512 controller and a PROTOCOL lighting system. It connects to DMX512 controllers via XLR5 connectors (DMX IN and DMX OUT). The output connects to PROTOCOL dimmers (e.g., PD804 models) using CAT5 cables for DATA and Power via RJ45 jacks. The system can control up to 24 dimmers in the PROTOCOL system. Control stations like PSF16 and PSF08, which manage levels and scenes, also connect to the PROTOCOL system. A 12VDC power supply is required for the system, connecting to an AC outlet.

Diagram Description: The system diagram illustrates the DMXTOPRO unit receiving DMX512 input from a controller (channels 1-24). The DMXTOPRO outputs data via CAT5 cables to six PD804 PROTOCOL dimmers (labeled 01 through 06). Each PD804 dimmer is a PROTOCOL System 8 Circuit Dimmer Pack, designed for commercial use, requiring field wiring and copper conductors. Control panels (PSF16 and PSF08) are shown connected to the PROTOCOL system, providing level and scene controls. A 12VDC power supply is depicted powering the system, connecting to a standard AC outlet.

Internal Components and Connectors

The DMXTOPRO unit features an internal circuit board with various electronic components, including integrated circuits, DIP switches (labeled S1, S2, S3), and wiring harnesses. External connectors include two XLR5 connectors for DMX input and output, and two RJ45 jacks for the PROTOCOL DATA & Power bus.
