Enhanced2 DMX512 Isolated Splitter

model: 125EE
technical data sheet
The Enhanced2 Isolated Splitter includes all the features of our standard models with added protection to meet the needs of harsh operating conditions. As with our standard splitters, all outputs are isolated from the input and from the other outputs by optical couplers. Every output has its own power supply and line driver. For protection against electrical storms, the Enhanced Splitter adds four transient absorbers on the input, two on each output, and one on the power line. To protect against miswiring, the Enhanced Splitter has self resetting fuses on the DMX512 input and outputs that protect the Splitter against damaging voltages up to 120 volts. Indicators on each output display power and termination status. Indicators on the input display signal present and valid DMX. The Enhanced Splitter is designed to work on any voltage between 90 and 240 volts.

The Enhanced Splitter allows connection of DMX receivers (dimmers, color changers, moving lights, etc.) in a star configuration as opposed to a daisy chain configuration. In a star configuration, each control cable is run to a central point, in this case the splitter. In a daisy chain configuration all the devices are connected on one control cable, the output of one feeding the input of the next. It is good practice to limit the number of receivers on a DMX512 output to 32 devices. The Enhanced Splitter gives you five outputs from one input allowing up to 160 receivers (32 per output).

FEATURE BENEFIT
Input is electrically isolated from output. Console is protected from failed dimmers, lightning damage, and any other cause of high voltage on the control cable.
Outputs are isolated from each other. Color changers, moving lights, other dimmers are protected from each other.
Outputs are separately buffered. Reflections, short circuits, etc. on one output cannot affect another output.
Input and output DMX lines are protected by transorb diodes.
 The splitter can withstand very high transient voltage spikes without damage.
Input and outputs are fused.

DMX lines can withstand up to 120 volts continuous fault or miswiring.
No user adjustments. Easy "fool proof" installation.
DMX pinouts are printed on the splitter. Assists in proper control wiring.
Chassis is 1/10" powder coated aluminum. Rugged and attractive for years of service.
Two 1/2" holes are provided for clamps, four 3/8" slots are provided for safety cables.
 Easily mounts to truss or pipes.
Carry handle allows access to connector release tabs.

Output connectors are easy to release, even with gloves on.
IEC-320 (International) power connector. Enables use in foreign countries.
Gold plated Neutrik 5 pin connectors. Assures reliable connections.
All integrated circuits are socketed. Eases field service.
Uses 2500 volt optical couplers. Easily isolates line voltage failures. Withstands electrical storm damage.
5000 volt line transformers. Meets European line isolation safety requirements.
Air gap" circuit board under isolator. Prevents arcing across circuit board.
60 mA drive current. Slew rate and current limited.

Reliably drives long control cables. Reduces the data errors caused by improperly terminated DMX512 lines.
Input indicators display signal present and "valid" DMX.

Built in DMX validator checks break time>88uS, MAB>6uS, and start code equals zero.
Output indicators display power and unterminated status.
 Simplifies system trouble shooting.
