IM9235 - Split2.8 RDM User Guide
Front Panel Indicators
Each input has its own set of LED indicators that report on the status of that input port.
Data
Green - Indicates that DMX512 data is owing from input to all outputs (normal operation).
Red: Indicates that RDM data received by the outputs is being returned to the controller.
Power
Red - Indicates good power and normal operation.
Flashing - Indicates that a connected RDM device is ‘jabbering’ (returning unwanted data continuously).
RDM
RDM (Remote Device Management) is a PLASA Standards protocol from the Technical
Standard Program that allows Bi-Directional communication over standard DMX cable.
This enables a controller to have access to a DMX / RDM xtures conguration and to
alter this conguration remotely. The most obvious use is to be able to remotely set the
start address of the xture. However there are many other benets to RDM such as
sensor feedback, rmware uploads and automatic patching.
Split2.8 RDM fully supports the RDM protocol (E1.20 - 2006) but can also be used
within networks where there is no RDM present.
Power Supply
The internal power supply provides a universal input in the range of 90 to 250V AC via a
3 pin IEC C13 Connector.
The mains fuse should only be replaced with a 3.15A Slow Blow Fuse.
Earthing
The following table summarises the internal Earth interconnection and isolation:
Please note that we use the term Earth-Ground to avoid international confusions. In
Europe Earth-Ground is called Earth, in the USA Earth-Ground is called Ground.
