PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Preset Ten Ethernet (PRE10E-A) wall station plays back snapshots of sACN
(E1.31) on four universes. The simple front interface allows the user to control 2,048
individual slots with the push of a button. Static snapshots from any sACN capable
console record into the ten presets. Snapshot play back may be used as an alternative
to a more complex console, or operate along with that same console. Various lockout
topologies make the PRE10E-A ideal in venues requiring untrained users to control
fixtures typically accessed by a more complex console. The PRE10E-A supports Power
over Ethernet (PoE – 802.3af) or a 24-48VDC power input. Station configuration takes
place on a rear facing user interface. Multiple stations may operate on the same
universes, and stations operating on different universes may operate on the same Local
Area Network (LAN)

INSTALLATION

The PRE10E-A installs into a standard two gang electrical wall box. Minimum

dimensions on the inside of the electrical box are 3.6”h X 2.9w” x 1.4”d. Data input and

output takes place over the RJ45 jack. For best possible data rates, a cable capable of
Fast Ethernet (100BASE-TX) is required. The cable must connect the PRE10E-A to an
Ethernet LAN that contains the console and receiving devices.

Power may enter the unit using the Ethernet cable when a Power over Ethernet switch
or injector are used. When utilizing PoE only one cable is required. Installations not
utilizing PoE can use the Auxiliary 24-48VDC input.

SYSTEM TOPOLOGY

Both Single Station and Multistation system designs are possible with the PRE10E-A. A
simple system may consist of a single console, PRE10E-A, and receiving device.

A more complex system may have PRE10E-A stations at multiple locations in a
building.

Data transport between each sACN capable device takes place using standard Ethernet
hardware that supports multicast traffic. The above diagrams utilize a single Ethernet
switch for simplicity. Any network hardware constituting a properly configured LAN may
replace the Ethernet Switch blocks above.
