Description
The Gotham Incito downlighting family utilizes DMX512 protocol via a DMX converter module
(DMXR option (HPEPP module), see figure 1) over Category 5 cable and has the capability to
communicate with the lighting controller (processor, light board, Easyl controller, etc.) via RDM
(Remote Device Management). The Remote Device Management Protocol (RDM) permits
intelligent bi-directional communication between devices from multiple manufacturers utilizing a
modified DMX512 data link. RDM is an EF 1.0 implementation of ANSI E1.11. RDM permits a
console or other controlling device to discover and then configure, monitor, and manage
intermediate and end-devices connected through a DMX512 network. RDM provides for
intelligent control of devices on a DMX512 network, which has not been previously available
outside of proprietary networks. This standard specifies: the physical layer and timings, device
discovery process and algorithms, message structure and communication. The DMX to 0-10V
to either one DMX slot or two DMX slots: when one slot is used to control it, the converter will up
convert the 255 DMX steps to the full output resolution by fading smoothly between the steps.
When 2 DMX slots are used the converter will provide user access to the full 4000 steps.

powered directly off a switched circuit.
Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not restrict fixture ventilation. Allow for
some volume of airspace around fixture. Avoid covering LED fixtures with insulation, foam, or other
material that will prevent convection or conduction cooling.
Unless individual product specifications deem otherwise: Do not exceed fixtures maximum ambient

Only use fixture in its intended location.
LED products are Polarity Sensitive. Ensure proper Polarity before installation.

Network Setup
• Use the pinout configuration on page 6 to connect to the lighting controller.
• Including the DMX512 source, a maximum of 32 Incitos per LAN is allowed. Consult factory
for applications requiring more than 32 Incitos per LAN. Note: One universe fed into an optosplitter creates multiple LANs. See Figure 2
• Using the appropriate category cable, daisy chain between luminaires and back to the control
system. Note: No T-TAPS, STARS (except by an opto-splitter) or Ys allowed.
• A termination plug is included with each luminaire. Ensure the termination plug is installed into
the last luminaire in the daisy chain. If this component is not installed the luminaires will exhibit
erratic/intermittent behavior.
• 2000 feet is the maximum distance to the furthest luminaire.
