The DMX to Analog Converter decodes consecutive DMX512 channels to 0 to 10 volt output. Two versions are available: 24 and 96 output. The starting address is selected by an easy to read (and set) three digit push-wheel switch. The switch is mounted on the front panel along with power, signal, and output 1 mimic indicators. The DMX in and through connectors and the female DB-25 output connector(s) are located on the back panel. |
All connectors feature gold plated contacts. The output pinouts are easy to remember with the pin number equaling the channel number, pin 25 being common. (The 96 output version has four DB-25 connectors) The DMX512 input is optically isolated from the outputs and is protected against miswiring up to 120 volts The (defeatable) hold feature holds the last look indefinitely upon loss of DMX. A test feature allows bringing any output to full by setting the front panel switch to 601 - 624 (601 - 696). The Converter may also be ordered to receive Colortran's CMX protocol.

The following information is provided to assist you in determining if the DMX512 to 0-10 Volt Analog Converter will be of benefit in your installation. If you have any questions, please feel free to call, write, or FAX us.
| FEATURE | BENEFIT |
| Input is electrically isolated from output. | Console (and other DMX512 equipment) is protected from failed dimmers (or other equipment) on the analog side of the converter. Ground loops are broken. Troubleshooting is simplified. |
| Input is protected by transorb diodes | The converter can withstand very high transient voltages without damage. |
| Input has self resetting "fuses". | Input can withstand up to 120 volts without damage. |
| Outputs are current limited. | Outputs can withstand short circuits without damage. |
| Outputs are diode protected. | Output can withstand high positive voltages without damage. Outputs can be "piled-on" with other diode protected analog controllers |
| Output circuits are socketed. | High negative voltages on outputs may damage the output circuit. Output circuits (LM324) are readily available at electronic stores (i.e. Radio Shack) and can be replaced without soldering. |
| DMX starting address is a decimal switch. | No need to learn binary dip switch settings. |
| Address switch is on the front panel. | Starting address is easily visible and easily selected. |
| Input and output pinouts are printed on the converter. | Assists in proper control wiring. |
| Gold plated Neutrik 5 pin connectors. | Assures reliable connections. |
| All integrated circuits are socketed. | Eases field service. |
| Uses 2500 Volt optical coupler. | Easily isolates line voltage failures. Usually withstands electrical storm damage. |
| 15 mA drive current. | Reliably drives long control cables. |
| Power, input, and output indicators. | Simplifies system troubleshooting. Reports blown fuses. |
| Mr. Fleenor is active in ESTA, PLASA,and USITT. | Products are designed to latest specifications. |
