DMX Emergency Bypass Controller
Emergency Series
GENERAL INFORMATION
The DMX Emergency Bypass Controller provides a simple and
cost-effective solution for control bypass of LED houselight systems
in emergency lighting applications. The DMX Emergency Bypass
Controller uses a single contact-closure input to bypass the DMX
control signal and drive all connected loads to full. Optionally,
selected fixtures can be controlled using the snapshot setting.
APPLICATIONS
• DMX houselights
• Permanently-installed, DMX-controlled LEDs
• Theaters
• Auditoriums
• Houses of worship
FEATURES
• DMX control bypass
• Wires in-line with DMX to fixtures or other devices
• Uses a single maintained contact closure to activate
DMX bypass
• Drives all 512 channels to full when contact closure
is present
GENERAL
• UL924 Listed
• RoHS compliant
• WEEE compliant
• 1-output or 6-output models (single universe input)

SPECIFICATIONS
FUNCTIONAL
• Overrides a single universe of ANSI E1.11–2008, USITT DMX512-A control signals from “Normal” to “Bypass” when a trigger signal is
detected via a two-pin trigger input
• Sends DMX signal to a single line or up to six (6) optically isolated lines
• Polls the bypass trigger input after a power loss and reacts upon startup
• Does not process DMX input in Normal mode (pass-through)
• Records a single DMX preset (snapshot) of 512 channels for recall during “Bypass” mode
• Recalls default or recorded sequence immediately on restart if the trigger is also applied at restart
MECHANICAL
• Enclosure constructed of 18-gauge, formed steel panels with a removable front cover finished in gray, fine-textured powder-coat paint
• Designed for wall-mount applications
• Internal voltage barrier provides separate wiring compartments for power and control wiring
• LED indicator visible from the exterior of the enclosure.
- Green: power is present and Controller is functioning in normal state
- Red: Controller is functioning in bypass state
• Test button accessible from the front of the enclosure without removing any panels
• The test button is recessed to prevent accidental triggering
• Internally-accessible, labeled DIP switches for configuration of:
- DMX Record mode
- Contact input type
- Wait-time to Restore incoming DMX (bypass trigger removed)
• Internally accessible button for DMX Record (snapshot) with an indicator LED for record action
ELECTRICAL
• Supports 100V to 277V input power, 50/60Hz, 0.2A maximum current
• Power Input terminals accept two 24–10 AWG solid or stranded wires
• Grounding Lug accepts 14-2 AWG solid or stranded ground wire
• Bypass Contact Input supports two 30-12 AWG low-voltage wires with two modes:
- +12VDC sent from the DEBC through a remote contact (dry)
- +12VDC to +24VDC sent from the remote device to the DEBC contact (wet)
• Bypass input configurable as Maintained Normally Open (default) or Maintained Normally Closed
• DEBC-6 model requires normal/emergency power feed
• Supports one universe (512 channels) of Digital Multiplexing (DMX) in accordance with ANSI E1.11–2008, USITT DMX512-A
- DMX Output and DMX Input terminals for Belden 9729 cable or equivalent
- Socketed DMX transceiver chip with onboard spare
• Non-volatile memory for storage of a single recorded scene of 512 channels
• UL and cUL 924 Listed for emergency lighting applications
• DEBC-1 passes RDM data in normal mode
• DEBC-6 passes RDM data through a single passthru output in normal mode
THERMAL
• Ambient room temperature: 0-40°C / 32-104°F
• Ambient humidity: 10-90% non-condensing
