contact control terminal block. Each terminal is large enough to accommodate multiple signal

wires so the control signals can be easily daisy-chained from pack to pack. However, do not

create Ys in the DMX signal path as these can lead to signal integrity issues that result in

poor reliability and ﬂickering. Instead, use one of the specialty interface boxes for this

purpose (for example, the Dove DMX-Y).

Terminals 4 and 5 are typically not used, but can be used to aid in splicing another pair of

signal wires like a second DMX universe. DIP switch 9 will connect Terminal 5 to +15V when

in the on position and should be loaded with less than 100mA. This is an unregulated power

source and will typically vary between 12 and 18 Volts. Under no-load conditions it can reach

25V. An example application of this feature would be to power a Dove DMX-Y.

Terminal 6 is +15VDC referenced to Common. This is an unregulated power source and will

typically vary between 12 and 18 Volts. Under no load conditions it can reach 25V. It will

typically source over 200mA before dropping below 12V. This source is typically used to

power the Dove 0-10V House Light Controls or our DMX-Y.

Terminals 7 through 10 are 0-10V analog control inputs for outputs 1 through 4 respectively.

(The DM124-WM ignores terminals 8 through 10.) The higher of the analog or DMX for a

given channel will take precedence (HTP). Terminal 11 is the common for these analog inputs

and therefore must be connected to the analog control source as well. It is also connected to

Terminal 1 internally.

Finally, Terminal 12 is the Force-On input. When this terminal is connected to common

(Terminals 1 & 11), all channels will be turned on to 100% overriding any DMX or Analog

control signals. The Wall Mount DimmerMasters' push-button option replaces the standard

Neon Power Indicator with a push-button connected to Terminals 11 & 12. One can easily

connect a remote switch to activate this feature on one or multiple dimmers for use as a

"maintenance light switch." Multiple dimmers are likely already sharing a common for their

DMX and/or Analog inputs, so a wire would only need to be added to terminal 12. Also, keep

in mind that this input can be useful in troubleshooting the lighting system.

Control

Starting Channel

The starting channel is set on a thumbwheel switch. When the switch reads 001, the dimmer

pack runs on DMX channels 1 - 4. Setting 005 runs on channels 5 - 8, setting 009 runs on

channels 9 – 12, and so on. Valid addresses range from 001 to 509 (512 for the DM124). The

starting dimmer may be any channel, and dimmers on different packs can overlap some

channels, though it is usually preferred to run them one dimmer per channel. Dimmer
