SD - 4102 DMX PORTABLE DIMMER Version 20090529
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The SD-4102 is a 4 channel DMX dimmer pack. Each
channel has a maximum capacity of 750 Watts.
The total dimmer load capacity is limited to 1800
Watts.
The SD-4102 can run chase programs independently
of a DMX controller. There are 16 preset programs to
select from. The speed and intensity of chase
programs is user selectable.
INSTALLATION
LOCATION
The SD-4102 is intended for INDOOR USE ONLY.
Locate the unit in a well ventilated area away from
moisture and heat. Various holes are provided on one
end of the dimmer to install a lighting bar pipe clamp
and suitable safety cables.
POWER CONNECTIONS
The SD-4102 has a line cord for connection to a 120
VAC, 15 Amp, 60Hz, grounded service.
LOAD CONNECTIONS
There is a dual edison socket connector provided for
each channel. Markings on the cover indicate the
channel numbers for each connection. The maximum
capacity of each channel is 750 Watts.
DMX CONNECTIONS
A system using DMX control should be connected as a
chain of devices. In other words the control signal
cable should proceed from the controller to the first
dimmer and then to other dimmers in a continuous
"daisy chain" fashion. Most dimmers have a DMX IN
and a DMX OUT connector to be used to connect the
chain. The control cable should NOT be split into a
multiple run star arrangement with a cable running
from the controller directly to each dimmer pack.
DMX CONNECTOR PIN ASSIGNMENTS
There are two different connectors which can be used
for DMX control. They are both XLR type connectors.
Some units use 3 pin connectors. Others use 5 pin
connectors. The SD-4102 receives a DMX signal on
the 3 pin MALE connector on the end of the unit. The
3 pin FEMALE connector is used to continue the
signal on to additional DMX dimmer packs.
