Control cable wiring
Control cabling must enter the enclosure and route directly to the control input terminals.
The installer must secure low voltage control cabling such that it can not come in
contact with high voltage line or load wiring.
The DMX512 control signal is connected to the DMX IN terminal block. A cable
appropriate for use with DMX512 must be used. Examples include Belden 9829, Belden
9729, or their equals by other manufacturers.
The shield of the cable is connected to the DMX IN “C” terminal. The first twisted pair of
wire is to be connected to the DMX IN “ -“ and “+” terminals. If a second twisted pair is
present in the control cable, it should NOT be connected. The spare pair should either
be trimmed back or secured such that it can not come in contact with any other parts of
the DMX8DIM
The DMX THRU terminal block has been provided if the DMX512 signal is to be run to
other devices. If the DMX THRU terminals block is to be used, remove and discard the
120 ohm resistor. Land the cable on the DMX THRU terminals in the same fashion as
described for the incoming DMX512 cable. The cable connected to the DMX THRU
terminal block must only enter the enclosure in the areas shown below. The installer
must secure low voltage control cabling such that it can not come in contact with high
voltage line or load wiring.
