Solderless screw terminal connector

The DXRL is a DMX 512 4 (or 8) channel relay controller with optional 0-10 volt variable analog outputs. Assign a DMX start channel, assigned by dip switches 1 ~ 9, and the respective relay will turn on or off depending on the respective DMX channel level. Equipped with 4 independent relays the coil/mechanical relay will switch up to 16A at 120VAC available on a screw terminal block for easy relay connections. Note: Relays are not internally fused, proper fusing and/or breaker is recommended per installation specifications for each relay input and/or output. The DMX threshold or trigger value can be set to 5% or 50% via dip switch 10, and the standalone (no DMX present) setting can be either full on or all off.

The optional 0-10 volt outputs can be used to control LED drivers or any 0-10 volt controlled devices. The 0-10 volt outputs correspond to the respective DMX channel, that is, if the 1st relay is controlled by DMX channel 1, then the 1st 0-10 volt output is controlled by DMX channel one. This is useful if for example if an LED driver doesn't dim to fully off then the power can be disconnected to the driver or fixture using the corresponding relay circuit.

If outboard relays are controlled then the DXRL has two high density connectors to interface external equipment. Eight relay driver outputs, each can control a +12VDC at up to 100mA relay, and eight 0-10 volt outputs, each can control up to 20mA source (10mA sink) current at 10 volts.

Includes wall style power supply and mating DB9 screw terminal (no solder) connector(s) as equipped - See options tab
