SET DMX ADDRESS
Once in ADDRESS edit mode, press ▲ or ▼ to change
the start address to the desired value. Press ENTER to
save the address. Valid addresses range from 1 to 512.
Once in MODE edit, choose from the following:
Mode 1: 0—10VDC Output (MAX will read 158)
Mode 2: 0—5 VDC Output (MAX will read 79)
Mode 3: 0—15VDC Output (MAX will read 237)
Mode 4: 0—2.5 VDC Output (MAX will read 40)
Mode 5: Custom D-to-A (set your own voltage)
Mode 6: 8 Channel EFBC (see below)
Mode 7: Non-Dim (see below)
SET OPERATING MODE
P OWER S UPPLY : 9-30 VDC, 2.5W
I NPUT S IGNAL : ANSI E1.11 DMX512-A, ANSI E1.20 RDM
O UTPUTS : 16 analog 0-10VDC nominal, maximum 16VDC
O UTPUT R ATING : 10MA current drive per channel sourcing or sink-
ing, diode isolated
E XCEEDING THESE RATINGS MAY RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE DEVICE
C ONNECTIONS :
S IZE :

3.5” x 6.25” x 1.25” (90mm x 160mm x 35mm)
SPECIFICATIONS
The behavior of the diode shunts is dependent on the
module’s revision level. The revision number is shown on
the product label, next to the part number.
The diodes prevent the control signal from back-feeding
into the output and damaging the module. The diodes
must be removed from the circuit to allow sinking control.
The 16 dip switches are wired as shunts, allowing the di-
odes to be engaged or disengaged output-by-output.
REV 4 and below: The blocking diodes are engaged
by default. With the shunt switches in the “off” position,
the diodes will prevent current backflow. This is the cor-
rect arrangement for driving analog dimmers. With the
shunts in the “on” position, the diodes are by-passed.
This is the correct arrangement for sinking control of
EFBCs and LED dimmers.
REV 5 and higher: The blocking diodes are by-passed
by default. With the dip switches in the “off” position, cur-
rent will backflow through the card. This is the correct
arrangement to allow sinking control of EFBCs and LED
dimmers. With the dip switches in the “on” position, the
diodes will block backflow current. This is the correct ar-
rangement for driving analog dimmers.

● DMX Demultiplexer Manual
SET MIN AND MAX VOLTAGE OUTPUT LEVELS
To set a custom output voltage, confirm the DMX start
address is set to 1. Connect a voltmeter between output
1 and COM on the card. Connect a DMX source to DMX
IN. Using your source, vary the DMX level on channel 1
and confirm that the voltage output is changing. Set the
DMX level to full.
Use the
▲ and ▼ buttons and ENTER to select MAX
for editing. Use ▲ and ▼ while observing the output on
your voltmeter. Once the voltage is at the level you de-
sire, press ENTER to save. Repeat this process to set a
MIN level. Valid MIN levels are between 0 and 254.
Valid MAX levels are between 1 and 255. 255 roughly
corresponds to an output of 16VDC.
Custom values are retained in Mode 5 only. Changing
the output voltage in modes 1 to 4 will force the card into
Mode 5. MIN and MAX are not editable in Modes 6 and 7.
DIODE SHUNTS
ELECTRONIC FLUORESCENT BALLAST CONTROL
Mode 6 allows control of up to eight circuits of Mark 7-
type ballasts, with a maximum of 20 ballasts on each cir-
cuit. Two channels on the card are required for each cir-
cuit. The channels are paired, 1 with 9, 2 with 10, and so
on. The lower channel provides 0-10VDC dimming con-
trol, while the higher acts as a non-dim, switching at 10%,
and should be connected to a solid state relay controlling
the circuit’s AC supply. All blocking diodes must be
shunted (by-passed) in this mode.
NON-DIM CONTROL
Mode 7 provides non-dim control of solid state relays or
LEDs. At a DMX level of 0%, each channel outputs
+10VDC The output voltage drops to zero when DMX
passes 50%. All blocking diodes must be shunted
(bypassed) in this mode.
E1.20 REMOTE DEVICE MANAGEMENT
The eDIN 1004 Demultiplexer is fully compliant with ANSI
E.20 Remote Device Management as a responder device.
SELF-TEST
Press the ▲ button while turning power on to enter self-
test. All LEDs will flash sequentially. The display will cy-
cle 0 through 9, then show the serial number and firm-
ware version. Cycle power to end self-test.
CCL PIN (PANIC INPUT)
Shorting the CCL pin to COM will drive all outputs to full.
The CCL input overrides the DMX input level.
TEST MODE
Using the ▲ and ▼ buttons, each output will be toggled
on and off. The output number is shown on the right hand
display. DMX is ignored while in TEST mode.
