If the loads you are controlling with the the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 controller are at a higher voltage and/
or current than it will provide directly, then relays can be added on the Show Control Outputs (or DMX-512
Outputs) to control any sized loads.
You can provide these relays yourself, or Gilderfluke & Co. has several ready-to-use relay boards
available:
DPDT relay board: A set of eight electromechanical relays with double pole/double throw contacts
rated at five amps each. Connected to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 controller by a ‘
’ ribbon cable
from the Digital Show Control outputs.
Reed relay board: A set of eight small electromechanical relays with normally open contacts rated at
150 ma each. Connected to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 controller by a ‘
’ ribbon cable from the
Digital Show Control outputs.
Solid State Relay Fanning Strip: For connecting up to eight popular ‘hockey puck’ style relays to a ‘
’ output cable. These are available with capacities of up to 75 amps each. Connected to the Sd-
50/8 or Sd-50/40 controller by a ‘
’ ribbon cable from the Digital Show Control outputs.
Pb-08, Pb-16, Pb-24 or Pb-32: Small AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct Current) relays rated for
3.5 amps each. Each relay is protected by an easily replaced standard fuse. Connected to the Sd-
50/8 or Sd-50/40 controller by a ‘
’ ribbon cable from the Digital Show Control outputs.
Pb-DMX/08, Pb-DMX/16, Pb-DMX/24 or Pb-DMX/32: Small AC (Alternating Current) or DC (Direct
Current) relays rated for 3.5 amps each. Each relay is protected by an easily replaced standard
fuse. Connected to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40 controller by a single twisted pair of wires from the
DMX-512 outputs.
LC-8SP: A set of eight solid state relays with mounted in a 19” rack mountable metal box. Line cord in,
and eight individual duplex outlets for connecting you loads. Connected to the Sd-50/8 or Sd-50/40
controller by a ‘
’ ribbon cable from the Digital Show Control outputs.
