Pathway #1003 eDIN Contact Closure Interface - Manual (Page 2)

CONFIGURATION
The eDIN user interface has 2 operating modes: Function
and Edit. Press the
▲ or ▼ buttons to select a function,
as indicated by the LEDs next to ADDRESS, MODE,
UTIL, and TEST. Once selected, press and hold the
ENTER button until a dot appears in the lower right-hand
corner of the display. The card is now in EDIT mode.
ADDRESS changes the DMX start address. MODE
sets one of six different operating modes. TEST allows
the user to test the contact closures using the
▲ or ▼
buttons. Test patterns differ depending on what mode the
card is set for.

E NTERTAINMENT S ERVICES &
T ECHNOLOGY A SSOCIATION
Once in MODE edit, choose from the following:
Mode 1: Maintained 12 Channel Operation
The relay will be maintained on as long as the DMX value
for the channel is above 50%.
Mode 2: Momentary 12 Channel Operation
When the DMX channel for a given relay passes through
the 50% threshold either increasing or decreasing, the
relay will close for 250mS.
Mode 3: Momentary “ON” 12 Channel
When the DMX channel for a given relay is increasing
and passes through the 50% threshold, the relay will
close for 250mS.
Mode 4: Momentary 6 Channel Split
In 6 channel mode, adjacent relays are paired to a DMX
channel (1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc), one for "ON" operation,
and one for "OFF". When the DMX channel for a given
relay pair passes through the 50% threshold, increasing,
the lower number relay will close for 250mS. When the
DMX channel for a given relay pair passes through the
50% threshold, decreasing, the higher number relay will
close for 250mS.
Mode 5: Maintained 6 Channel Split
In 6 channel mode, adjacent relays are paired to a DMX
channel (1 and 2, 3 and 4, etc), one for "ON" operation,
and one for "OFF". When the DMX channel for a given
relay pair passes through the 50% threshold, increasing,
the lower number relay will close and maintain state.
When the DMX channel for a given relay pair passes
through the 50% threshold, decreasing, the lower number
relay will open and the higher number relay will close and
maintain state.
Mode 6: Momentary Split with Secondary ‘Reset’
2 sequential DMX channels are associated with each ad-
jacent pair of relays. When the lower DMX channel in-
creases through 50%, the lower-numbered relay will close
for 250mS. When the lower DMX channel decreases
through 50%, the higher-numbered relay will close for
250mS. To provide a secondary reset, when the higher
DMX channel passes through 50%, increasing, the higher
relay will close for 250mS. If the higher DMX channel
decreases through 50%, the relays remain unchanged.

SPECIFICATIONS
Contact Closure Configuration
Mode 7: Chase
Each contact closure will be triggered for two seconds.
This is intended as a test feature.
Mode 8: Single Channel Select
Raising the DMX level of the start channel will trigger
each contact closure in turn, from none up to the twelfth.
Mode 9: Single Channel Build
Raising the DMX level of the start channel will trigger
each contact closure additionally. At zero percent, no
contact closures are trigger, while at full all twelve contact
closures are triggered.
Do not exceed relay current rating for
the voltage you are switching.
Permanent relay damage could result.
DMX TERMINATE
DMX rules require the final device in-line have a terminat-
ing resistor. If there are other devices connected to the
DMX THRU terminals, the DMX TERMINATE switch
should be OFF. Otherwise the terminator should be ON.
TEST AND SELF-TEST
Once in TEST mode, use the ▲ or ▼ buttons to trigger
the selected relay or relay pair. The Test function is op-
erating mode dependent and will cause the card to
‘ignore’ the DMX input.
Press the
▲ button while turning power on to enter
Self-Test. All LEDs will flash sequentially. The display
will cycle 0 through 9, then show the card’s serial number
and firmware version. Cycle power to end self-test.
RDM RESPONDER FEATURES
The eDIN 1003 Contact Closure output card is fully com-
pliant with ANSI E1.20 Remote Device Management as a
responder device. An RDM Controller can discover and
retrieve the card’s unique identifier (UID), its DMX start
address, firmware version and operating mode. DMX
start address and operating mode are remotely configur-
able by the controller. Starting with firmware 1.5.5, an
RDM utility can upgrade the firmware in the field.
DMX PRESENT MODE
With firmware prior to 1.5.5, when UTIL is set to mode 2,
the number 12 relay will trigger whenever DMX is be-
comes present or is lost. Momentary or maintained be-
havior is governed by overall Operating Mode of the card.
This mode is not in used in version 1.5.5 or higher.
