Start-up Validation
When you switch power ON to the DEC3.3 controller (firmware 01.00.006 and up), the following
indications will confirm that the major system elements are working correctly:
 BEEP! – a loud beep indicates that the processor has initialized and is functioning
correctly.
 FANS – fans run for three seconds
 HEATER – the heater turns on for 15 seconds. This is enough to get warm to the touch.
DMX Connections
DMX refers to USITT DMX512, a commonly used control protocol in the entertainment industry,
running over RS485. Consult USITT DMX installation guidelines when laying out a system, or
employ a qualified DMX system integrator.
A DMX network will be required if:
a) The projector inside the enclosure requires a DMX control signal
b) You wish to monitor the enclosure using RDM
c) You wish to control the enclosure lamp relay over DMX
