ETHERNET CONNECTION

The Ethernet interface can be connected to a local network (LAN or WLAN) via a RJ45 cable and be detected
by the software installed on a computer connected on the same network.

Connect the RJ45 port n°RJ3 to the network and power the interface with the DC input (5-24V) or the USB (5V).

Hold the button for 4 seconds to switch from IP (iP) or DHCP (dh) mode according to your network.

The default IP is 192.168.0.5, subnet mask 255.255.255.0 and default gateway 192.168.0.1.

DHCP mode is use with an access point, IP switch or Ethernet router.
Fix IP address is use in the same configuration as the DHCP and also with direct connection with the computer
(no access point, router or switch).

Once it is well connected to the LAN, start the software and select “Ethernet", all interfaces on the network will
be detected and displayed in the list. You can uncheck the ones you don't need.

In DHCP mode, if the interface does not receive a valid IP address from the DHCP server, then the interface will
use its fixed IP address to establish the Ethernet communication and the device will display “iP” after few
seconds.

Select Ethernet

CONTACT WIRING AND CONNECTIONS WITH RJ45 PINS

The 7 externals contacts are located on the RJ45 connector number 2. You can use the 7 dry contacts to trigger
7 scenes via external relay. To have more triggers you must use a multiplexed system to get a maximum of 127
contacts as following:

Multiplex the trigger could give 127 triggers combinations

Front view of the interface
RJ 45 connector

External Contact Closures can be done only when Pin 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8 are connected to Pin 1 (5 V. DC). (up to 127 triggers)

Pin Table:

Trigger 01 = Pin 2
Trigger 02 = Pin 3
Trigger 03 = Pin 2 + 3
Trigger 04 = Pin 4
Trigger 05 = Pin 2 + 4
Trigger 06 = Pin 3 + 4
Trigger 07 = Pin 2 + 3 + 4

Trigger 08 = Pin 5
Trigger 09 = Pin 2 + 5
Trigger 10 = Pin 3 + 5
Trigger 16 = Pin 6
Trigger 32 = Pin 7
Trigger 48 = Pin 6 + 7
Trigger 64 = Pin 8
Trigger 100 = Pin 4 + 7 + 8

Etc…

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 21

Dry contact reaction time: 8 ms (0.008 s) / Time between 2 contacts: 500 ms (0.5 s)

Dry contact trigger options : On (Start scene only) + On/Off (start and stop scene) + Auto release (Hold contact
to play scenes) + Restart (restart scene from beginning) + Play in priority (Scene keep playing until it pause or
stop, no other triggers allowed while playing).

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 22

By selecting a scene in the list, it's possible to choose the external contact number (from 01 to 127) to trigger
the scene.

By default, the interface gives 7 external contacts (01, 02, 04, 08, 16, 32, 64). To obtain 127 external contacts,
you have to use a de-multiplexing interface in order to go use the other possible combinations.

Several trigger options are available for externals contacts triggers:

On: Activate the contact only allow you to play the scene.

On/Off: Activate the contact allow you to play and stop a scene. Each trigger action will invert the state of the

scene (start/stop).

Auto Release: The scene plays while the contact is activated. Keep the contact activated to play the scene,
when the contact is released the scene stop.

Restart: Activate the contact will restart the scene from its beginning automatically. If the scene is off already,
then it will play.

TRIGGERING COMMANDS

External contacts can also trigger commands in standalone mode. >From the Triggers tab you can select a
contact for each action: Dimmer + , Dimmer -, Blackout, Speed +, Speed -, Pause, Scene +, Scene - and Area.

It is not possible to use the same trigger for scene and command, in this case, the scene contact has the prior­ity or the scene will lose its contact trigger information after choose the contact from the Trigger command
tab.

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 23

IR REMOTE CONTROL UNIT AND IR RECEIVER

Button 1 to 10 must be assigned to a scene via the software.

Each button can trigger a different scene. With the remote control, a
scene cannot be stop directly with the assigned button. To stop it
you must press the Stop/Black Out button or trigger another scene.

Pause button to freeze the current scene to its actual state.

Stop/Black Out button to stop the current scene and play the empty

scene number 00. All DMX channels are set down to 00 levels.

+/- for scene trigger. Select the next or previous scene automati­cally. You don't need to hold the button to validate and play a scene.
The next or previous scene will play directly after selected.

+/- for Scene speed. Increase or decrease the speed of the current
scene. A different speed can be chosen separately for each scene.

+/- for General dimmer. Increase or decrease the RGB, CMY and
dimmer channels of the fixtures. The CMY, RGB, Dimmer channels
are defined in the Profile of the fixture.

To use the IR remote control, an external PCB with an IR receiver LED
must be connected before to the RJ45 #1 of the Standalone inter­face. The standard RJ45 cable distance is about 20 meters maximum.

IR PCB Pin assignment:

-With RJ45 use pins #8 = Ground; #4 = IR Data ; #7 = 5V DC.

-With T. Block use pins: O = IR Data; V = 5V DC; G = Ground.

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 24

In the software go to Standalone Mode and use the Triggers options to assign a remote button to a scene.
Standalone mode offers up to 10 triggers with the Infrared remote.

Two DMX-IN trigger options are available: DMX Level and DMX Scale, let’s see what the differences are:

Option DMX Level

Choose the input universe
and channel

Choose the trigger level
witch one if you go over
it the scene starts and
under it the scene stops.

Option DMX Scale

Choose the input universe
and channel

Choose the trigger range
of levels. Witch one if
you go inside it the
scene starts and outside
it, the scene stops.

With the DMX Scale you can cre­ate many triggers presets on a
same DMX-IN channel and so
starts a suite of scenes on the
DMX fader way.

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 28

RS232 TRIGGERS IN STANDALONE

Standalone mode allows to use the RS232 protocol to control the DMX interface with the commands describe
in the help topic

Connect the RS232 transmitter to the interface RS232 and GND pins and send the dedicated ASCII commands
lines that you need.
The ASCII commands need to be sent one time only to be processed by the interface.

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 30

TIME TRIGGERS WITH CLOCK AND CALENDAR

The Standalone mode has an internal clock and a calendar. It's possible to assign a time trigger on every scene
of the list. By selecting a scene on the list, it's possible to choose the start and end dates and hours and days of
the week. You can thus create a lot of scenarios.

CASE 1: Programming a unique trigger:

• Start schedule:

The scene is triggered a single time at the given date and time.

• End schedule:

The scene is stopped at the given date and time.

CASE 2: Programming a repeating trigger:

• Start schedule:

Date from which-one the scene will be playable according to the programmed triggers

• End schedule:

Date after witch-one triggers will be ignored. With no End date, triggers are permanent

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 31

• List of the months of the year

The 12 check boxes represent the 12 months of the year (J) January to (D) December. The triggers will be
performed on the activated months. Next, a daily hour range must be defined.

• Start and Stop days

With a monthly repetition, you can choose the starting and stopping days for each chosen month.
In this example triggers can happen between the 1st and the 15th of each chosen month.

• List of the days of the week

The 7 check boxes represent the 7 days in a week. The triggers will be performed on the activated days
only. Next, a time range must be defined.

• Start time

The starting time is the time when the scene will be triggered for each chosen day. Of course, chosen
months, start and end schedule days are included.

• Release time

The release time is the time when the scene will stop for each chosen day. Of course, chosen months, start

and end schedule days are included. The release time is not mandatory, if it’s not defined, the scene will

keep playing until another trigger event happens. (Like the triggering of another scene for example).

NOTE: For a daily repetition, if the the starting time is later than the release time then the triggering will stop
the next day, even if the next day has not been selected.

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 32

SAVE AND RECOVER THE LAST SCENE AFTER THE POWER CUT OFF:

The interface can save the last scene played before the power cut off and recover it when the power is re­stored.

For each scene you can select “Restore if power off”

SCENE TRIGGER PRIORITIES:

When several scenes have the same time trigger (date + hour + minute), only the first scene in the list will be
triggered. The rest will be ignored

PLAY IN PRIOR ITY

Click for enable the
Restoration option

Click to enable the Play in priority option:

The scene will keep playing. No other trigger­ings allowed (contacts, Infrared, DMX, RS232)
while the scene is playing (exept Time/calen­dar schedules and buttons)

Datasheet – Standalone Interfaces USB & Ethernet - DMX 1024 channels 33

DMX MERGING IN STANDALONE

One DMX line must be turned into an input to capture the DMX signal provided by an external DMX board or
by another DMX interface.

The interface will merge the incoming signal with its own output signal by comparing the DMX levels with a
HTP filter (priority on the highest levels of the signals). Merging is a solution to keep manual control on chan­nels, using a DMX Board for example. It’s also a way to create a multi-zones system by merging several inter­faces on one final DMX line. In this last case, each interface can play a scene dedicated to the fixtures at the
same time and on the same DMX line.

In the software’s standalone window, select:

“DMX 1 OUT / DMX 2 IN” and validate the

merge option.

CONFIGURATION OF THE MASTER/SLAVE INTERFACES

When multiple interfaces are connected with USB, the standalone mode allows to set them as Master/Slave.
This mode allows to synchronise many interfaces and mutualize their standalone spaces combining the uni­verses. (up to 32 standalone universes)

Here are two example or wiring with 3 interfaces plugged as Master/Slave with standard Ethernets cables. You
must connect Ethernet sockets 1 or 3 in any order:

SETTING OF THE MASTER/SLAVE INTERFACES

A single interface can be defined as master, others are automatically set to slaves. Triggers operated on the
master interface are passed on slaves. However, slaves are not synchronized on play time and keep individual
control. Consequently, slaves can trig and play different scenes. The master acts like a general remote impos­ing triggering to the slaves.

• MODE MASTER/SLAVE « Default »

A single interface can be defined as master (lower serial number by default), others ones are automatically set
to slaves. The master device plays the current scene and synchronize the slave ones. The master forces the
slave interfaces to play the same scene and the same step at the same time. The slave interfaces are forced to
follow the master timings and triggers and they cannot act, play or trigger a scene independently. Master can
trigger on and trigger off scenes of the slave interfaces.

• MODE MASTER/SLAVE « Desynchronized»

An interface can be defined as master, others are automatically set to slaves. All Triggers On or Off operated
on the master interface are effective to slave ones. However, slave interfaces are not synchronized with mas­ter's timing and keep individual controls. Consequently, slaves can trigger and play different scenes at any time
and not synchronized with the master ones. The master acts like a general remote imposing triggering to the
slaves with total priority. Master can trigger ON and trigger OFF scenes of the slave interface.

• MODE MASTER/SLAVE « LTP »

LTP means Latest Takes Priority. All interfaces are defined as slaves. Interfaces are not synchronized with timing
and can trigger and play different scenes by itself. However, triggers from an interface are passed to the others
connected interfaces automatically and slave interfaces are forced to trigger the same scene. Here each inter­face acts like a general remote imposing triggering to the other slaves without synchronization.

• THE «NO RELEASE» Option

This option is only available with LTP or DESYNCHRONIZED modes. Only triggers ON from the master interface
are executed and effective. All triggers OFF are ignored and slave interfaces keep playing their current scene.
Each Slave interface can choose to release or not its scene depend on the option is activated or not.

SD CARD

It is possible to save your show on micro SD card. The Card must be format as FAT 32 and 16 Gb Maximum.

In standalone mode, click to “Save on SD card”, select a place to save the show on the computer or directly at
the micro Sd card root.

To play in standalone the SD show, insert the card into the CQSA micro SD slot and when the card is booted,
the display will show "Sd" to indicate that the SD show is playing.

The show file must be paste to the micro SD root, it cannot be played if it is renamed.

BATTERY

The battery allows to keep the clock and calendar settings in memory when the device is not powered.
The clock can keep the time and date up to 10 to 30 days, depending on the charging time and the type of
battery included.
The device must be powered few hours to fully charge the battery.

DIMENSIONS OF THE INTERFACE

The metric system is used. The unit is mm.

MULTIPLE USB DEVICES CONNECTIONS

POWER SUPPLY WITH EXTERNAL + USB

The external power supply is only for Standalone mode. If a USB cable is connected when the device is operat­ing in standalone mode, it reboots to allow the connection to the computer. If scenes are playing in standalone
mode it stops them.
