SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS
READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
The DMX Output Interface is built and tested to strict safety regulations. By following the steps listed below and elsewhere
within this guide, you can ensure safe installation and operation of these controller units.
The DMX Output Interface must be installed only by a qualified electrician.
The installation must comply with the appropriate electrical codes and regulations in force in your area.
The DMX Output Interface is designed for indoor installation and use only. The unit can, however, be used to control
appropriately certified exterior fixtures.
Ensure that all wiring used conforms fully to local specifications and is sufficiently rated for the installation.
All new wiring must be fully verified before applying power.
The high voltage supply should be fed to the DMX Output Interface via an external isolation breaker with sufficient
capacity for the planned installation.
Ensure that the supply is fully isolated at an external breaker before removing the chassis covers. Test that power has been
removed before starting to handle conductors.
Ensure that high voltage and low voltage wiring remains separate.

Introduction
Introduction
This unit provides DMX output that track 96 channels in the
iCANnet™ system. Eight of these control volt-free mains
rated low power relays and a further eight control digital
outputs which can be used to control the power to the DMX
sources or control channels in their own right. These allow
lighting sources that use DMX as the control signal to be
used as part of the iCANnet™ system.
Fitting in the smallest of the iCAN™ system controller boxes
this compact unit can be mounted virtually anywhere. As
well as the essential connections to the iCANnet network,
there are also terminals provided for connection to an
RS485 system.
