To set up the ELM Video DX10V DMX to 0 - 10 Volt Converter for variable output control using a DMX source, follow these steps based on the user manual:
1. **Connection:** Connect the DMX512 input to the appropriate pins on the device from the DMX512 input XLR connector (pins 2 and 3). Ensure the terminating switch is set to "ON" if the DMX signal ends at the DMX input terminal. If the DMX input terminal is looped to another DMX device, set the terminating switch to "OFF."
2. **DIP Switch Settings:** Use the DIP switches to configure the device:
- Set DIP switches 1-9 to assign the DMX512 start channel for each output.
- DIP switch 10: Set to "OFF" for VARIABLE MODE (outputs vary with DMX levels) or "ON" for SWITCH MODE (outputs are either ON or OFF based on threshold values).
- DIP switch 11: Set to "OFF" for all outputs OFF in Stand Alone Mode, or "ON" for all outputs ON in Stand Alone Mode.
- DIP switch 12: Set to "OFF" for Normal Operation, or "ON" for Hardware Initialization Mode.
3. **LED Indicators:** Monitor the LED indicators:
- Power LED: Illuminates when power is applied.
- DATA LED:
- ON: Indicates DMX data is being received.
- OFF: Indicates no DMX data is being received (Stand Alone Mode).
- SLOW BLINK: Indicates DMX receive error (reset clears).
- FAST BLINK: Indicates communications error with output circuits (reset clears).
4. **Specifications:** Ensure the power input, voltage output, current ratings, and other specifications match the requirements of your setup.
By following these steps and referring to the user manual for detailed instructions, you can successfully set up the ELM Video DX10V DMX to 0 - 10 Volt Converter for variable output control using a DMX source.
