8 Channel DMX to Analogue Module 5 Pin

This product requires custom manufacturing, which will require a few days lead time.

A neat little 8 channel analogue 0 to 10v output board with DIP switcehs to set the DMX address. Built with Genuine Neitrik connectors, and avaliable in 3 or 5 pin variants, or with PCB headers for moutning you own XLR remotly.

  • 8 Analogue Outputs
  • Outputs Short Circuit Protected
  • All DMX Addresses selectable
  • Wide range 12v - 24V power input
  • 20mA per channel voltage output.
  • 10V reference volatge output
  • Invert option on outputs

Configuration

The board has a 10 dip switches fitted, the first 9 allow you to select the address of the first channel (other channels use consecutive DMX channels). The 10th switch is for channel invert.

The DMX Address is calculated by adding together the switches that are ON, for instance to use address 58 you would set DIP switches 32, 16, 8 & 2 to ON, leaving 256, 128, 64, 4 & 1 OFF.

The invert setting is normally off, which means a DMX value of 0 gives and output of 0V and a DMX value of 255 gives an output of 10V.  When the invert switch is set to ON, then this is reversed meaning a DMX value of 0 will result in 10V being output, and a value of 255 outputs 0v. This menas that if you were to use the 10V refrenc voltage as 0V on your dimmer, then the outputs would be -10v to 0v (which some dimmers require). If you do this make sure you do not allow the 0V on the dimmer to connect to the 0v on the module as well as the 10V reference output.

Connections

Looking left to right (with the DIP switches on the left) the pin is as follows

Vin0v0vVrefCh8Ch7Ch6Ch5Ch4Ch3Ch2Ch1

Vin should be a standard regulated DC power supply between 12 and 24 volts.

Vref is a 10V reference output. This can be used with inverted mode to get negative channel outputs.

Ch1 - Ch8 The analogue channel outputs. These are short circuit protected by LM324 OpAmps, and can supply upto 20mA each.
