Step 1: Using the 8 position pluggable screw connector provided in the cable preparation kit, connect
Shield (Com), DMX- and DMX+ as directed in the graphic above.
Step 2: DMX Pass-Thru using Belden 9729 can utilize the same pluggable screw connector as DMX
In. Connect Shield (Com), DMX- and DMX+ for DMX Pass-Thru as indicated in the graphic
above.
Connect the RJ45-Patch Cable
Connect one end of the RJ45-patch cable to receptacle J2 on the SmartLink Station Power Module and
the other end of the RJ45-patch cable to a SmartPack Portable dimmer pack.
Data Termination
• When using SmartLink with a LinkPower Supply installed in the segment (system), SmartLink is
automatically terminated at the LinkPower Supply. No further termination is required and LON
switches 1 and 2 should be set to Off.
• When using SmartLink without a LinkPower Supply installed in the segment (system), and
DMX
LON1
LON2
1234
OFF
SmartLink is utilized only for pack to pack synchronization, select one SmartLink enabled product
in the segment and set LON switches 1 and 2 On. All other SmartLink enabled products should set
LON switches 1 and 2 Off.
• When using DMX connected In and Thru the SmartLink Station Power Module and daisy-chained
to the RJ45 connectors on the rear of the SmartPack Portable dimmer pack, not via the XLR
connectors on the front of the SmartPack Portable dimmer pack, set switch 3 Off. You must provide
your own DMX termination at the last DMX device on the data run.
Connect ESD Ground
For installations with SmartLink data runs (Belden 8471) installed in grounded metal conduit there is
no requirement to run or terminate an additional ESD drain wire. For installations not installed in
grounded metal conduit, follow the instruction below for ESD termination.
Step 1: Locate the grounding lug on the right side of the I/O panel, next to the I/O board.
Step 2: Loosen, but do not remove, the set screw on the grounding lug.
2
Step 3: Strip 6,35mm (1/4”) of insulation from the ends of the 2,50mm
(14AWG) ESD drain wire(s) and
twist together.
Step 4: Insert the 2,50mm
2
(14AWG) wires into the grounding lug and secure.
Final Installation
Step 1: Locate the grounding pigtail and secure it to the rack at an available grounding point.
Step 2: Install the SmartLink Station Power Module into a standard 19” EIA rack and secure (hardware
not provided).
Reference the related SmartPack Portable documentation for setup and configuration details. Please
contact ETC Technical Services for assistance if needed.
