DMX512 to 16 analogue

DMX512 to analogue conversion has two key applications: Upgrading older analogue dimmers and driving fluorescent ballasts.

Rail-Demux™ is an elegant solution to both applications and provides 16 analogue outputs with DMX512 and RDM Draft V1.0 support. It is housed in a high impact DIN Rail mounting case.

The control interface uses DMX512 and RDM or remote Device Management. The RDM interface allows the start address to be set by the console over the DMX512 cable. RDM also allows the product to receive firmware upgrades and run diagnostics tests.

In the event that the console does not support RDM, Jump-Start can be used to set the start address.

DMX512 loop through and termination options are provided.
