ColorSource RelayETC
ColorSource® Series
GENERAL INFORMATION
The ColorSource Relay combines power sequencing and data
distribution in a portable plug-and-play format. The ColorSource
Relay comes in wireless- and wired-DMX input. By default, upon
receiving data from the console its internal sequencing routine
automates the process of staggering turn-on times across relays
while it provides hardline DMX to connected fixtures.
APPLICATIONS
• Applications requiring distributed dimming and
position flexibility:
- Schools
- Houses of worship
- Small theaters
- Event lighting
- Automated lighting systems
- Industrial productions
- Rentals
- Conference and exhibition centers
- Multi-use venues such as schools and meeting rooms
FEATURES
• Input voltage: 90-250V; 47-63Hz
• Portable two-pole air-gap relay
• Auto sequencing: turn-on delay in each relay ensures that no
two relays turn on at the same time across a system
• Data input options (choice per model):
- Wireless- The relay recieves wireless DMX for relay
activation on choice of five wireless IDs selected
by thumbwheel and transmits DMX output on
hardline connection while relaying RDM feedback
over wireless and hardline
- DMX (hardwire)- Recieves hardwire DMX (input) for relay
activation with RDM feedback and configuration
while passing through DMX/RDM on
the five-pin XLR (output) connector
• USB master: Connect USB drive for software upgrades
• Integral Safety Connection
• Three mounting options: ETC LED yoke (included), universal
yoke, or for use on desktop wall-mount
