ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
OPERATION MANUAL
Thank you for buying this BRITEQ®product. To take full advantage of all possibilities, please read these
operating instructions very carefully.
FEATURES
This unit is radio-interference suppressed. This product meets the requirements of the current European and
national guidelines. Conformity has been established and the relevant statements and documents have been
deposited by the manufacturer.
The perfect all-in-one solution to secure your DMX-installations: 100% electrical isolation between all
in/outputs!
2 DMX-inputs + 6 DMX-outputs, each equipped with 3pin and 5pin XLR-connectors.
The merger function combines 2 DMX-signals in different ways:
HTP: the highest value of 2 identical channels from 2 DMX-signals will have priority.
Backup: when the DMX-signal on input A fails, the DMX-signal in input B takes over immediately.
Merger: DMX-signals from 2 different controllers can be combined and send over 1 cable, you can
choose the start address of the second controller.
The splitter function distributes the DMX-signal(s) from the input(s) over 6 identical outputs that are 100%
isolated from each other: problems that occur on 1 output will not influence the other outputs!
The timing of the DMX-outputs can be adapted from 23ms to 45ms, increasing compatibility while
connecting “slow” DMX-devices to “fast” DMX-controllers.
Output behavior can be selected when suddenly both DMX-inputs fail:
Null: no DMX signal on the outputs
Hold: keep the last DMX values on the outputs.
Clear: set the DMX values on all outputs to zero.
Easy setup via 4digit LED display

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
FUNCTIONS (FRONT)
1. DMX OUTPUTS: the DMS26 splitter section has 6 identical but completely isolated DMX-outputs: when
a problem occurs on one of the outputs (short circuits, overvoltage, …) the other outputs and the 2 inputs
will be protected and stay fully functional. All outputs have 3pin and 5pin XLR connectors to assure
maximum compatibility in a situations. (pin1 = ground/shield ; pin2 = data- ; pin3 = data+ ; pins 4/5 = not
used)
2. MENU BUTTON: used to browse the main menu for the different options. Press this button 2 seconds to
save your choice permanently and return to normal user mode. See chapter “HOW TO USE” to learn
how to use the unit”
3. UP/DOWN BUTTONS: used to change values or browse the different options in the sub menus.
4. ENTER BUTTON: used to confirm your choice. However please note that you should press the MENU
button (2) for two seconds to save your choice permanently!
5. DISPLAY: Multifunctional LED-display, shows the current working mode and helps selecting different
functions.
6. A/B INPUT: shows which DMX-input (A and/or B) is routed to the 6 outputs.
FUNCTIONS (REAR)
7. DMX INPUT A: the DMS26 merger section has 2inputs. Input A (called the “main input”) is the used
when only 1 controller is attached. See chapter “HOW TO USE” to learn how to use the unit”
8. DMX INPUT B: input B (called the “backup input”) is used to connect a second controller. See chapter
“HOW TO USE” to learn how to use the unit”
9. POWER SWITCH: used to switch the unit on/off. The last settings are preserved.
10. MAINS INPUT: with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect the supplied mains cable here.
HOW TO USE
The main menu contains 4 sub menu’s, below we explain each option in detail and how you should use it:
Important: to save your settings permanently, always press the MENU button (2) for 2 seconds!
MODE MENU HTP OPTION
In HTP-mode (Highest Takes Precedence) two controllers will be connected to the inputs A and B (7/8). Both
controllers work simultaneously so both A/B INPUT (6) indicators are lit. The DMX-values of both controllers
are sent to the outputs but for corresponding channels, the channel with the highest value will be routed to
the outputs.
Example:
Controller A: ch1=102 + ch2=88 + ch3=246 + ch4=000
Controller B: ch1=105 + ch2=186 + ch3=101 + ch4=005
Outputs: ch1=105 + ch2=186 + ch3=246 + ch4=005
MODE MENU BACKUP OPTION
In BACKUP-mode (“b-uP” on the display) two controllers will be connected to the inputs A and B (7/8). The
controller connected to input A is the main controller that will be routed to the outputs. If, for any reason,
controller A fails, controller B (the backup controller) takes over immediately. On the A/B INPUT LEDs (6)
you can always check which controller is in command!
When both controllers fail, you can decide how the
outputs should react: see “NO INPUT option” below.
MODE MENU MERGER OPTION
Normally you can’t make 2 DMX-controllers work
together on 1 DMX-line: both controllers send out the
same channels and signals would crash. This is the
solution: in MERGER-mode (“MErg” + start address
controller B alternate on the display) you can
connect two controllers to the inputs A and B (7/8)
and make them work together on 1 single DMXcable. The controller connected to input A (7) is the
first controller, starting from DMX address 001. For
the controller connected to input B (8) you can freely
set the DMX start address (see “Addr option” below)
Example:
Controller A is a 24channel DMX-controller for
Theater lighting.
Controller B is 192channel DMX-controller for
moving heads/scanners.
Both controllers can work together on 1 DMX-
cable, just set the start address for controller B
to 025 and add 25 to the original DMX-channels
of the scanner controller: original DMX-address
001 becomes 025, original DMX-address 130
becomes 155 (130+025)
ADDR OPTION
Will only be used in MERGER mode to set the start address of the controller connected to input B (8). For
more information on the merger mode, see previous option.
Hint: If you have a controller with 24ch connected to input A and you only want to use the 12 first channels,
than you can set the start address for controller B to 013. This will save channels…
TIMING OPTION
Modern “high speed” DMX-controllers send a full 512ch package with a refresh rate of max. 44Hz (or 23ms).
Most common the refresh rate is set to 40Hz (25ms). Some low cost Chinese DMX-equipment is not able to
work at these high refresh rates, as a result data is lost and all kinds of unpredictable behavior occurs. To
solve this problem the DMS-26 is able to adapt the refresh rate in a range from fast “23ms(44Hz)” to slow
“45ms (22Hz)” for increased compatibility between DMX-units.
So if you encounter timing problems, try to set the timing to a higher value (slower refresh). In most cases
30ms will be a good value.
“NO INPUT” OPTION
When no DMX is detected on both inputs A and B (7/8), you can choose how the outputs should react. Three
options are available:
Null: no DMX signal on the outputs (some DMX-equipment will start working in standalone mode)
Hold: keep the last DMX values on the outputs (avoids a general “blackout” on stage)
Clear: set the DMX values on all outputs to zero (all projectors will go to “blackout”)
Just choose the behavior that suits best for the job.

CARACTERISTIQUES
Cet appareil ne produit pas d’interférences radio. Il répond aux exigences nationales et européennes. La
conformité a été établie et les déclarations et documents correspondants ont été déposés par le fabricant.
La solution "tout-en-un" parfaite pour sécuriser vos installations DMX. Isolation électrique à 100 % entre
toutes les entrées et toutes les sorties.
Présence de 2 entrées DMX + 6 sorties DMX, chacune étant équipée de connecteurs à 3 et à 5 broches.
La fonction 'merger' mélange deux signaux DMX de différentes manières :
HTP : la valeur la plus élevée de deux canaux identiques émanant de deux signaux DMX aura
priorité.
Backup : quand un signal DMX est absent sur l'entrée A, le signal DMX présent sur l'entrée B prend
le relais immédiatement.
Merger : les signaux DMX en provenance de deux contrôleurs différents peuvent être combinés et
envoyés via un même câble ; on peut choisir l'adresse de départ du second contrôleur (par exemple :
combiner un CMX-24 et et un Scanmaster sur un même câble).
La fonction 'splitter', quant à elle, distribue les signaux DMX présents aux entrées vers les six sorties de
manière identique, sorties qui sont isolées à 100 % les unes des autres : donc, si des problèmes
surviennent sur la sortie 1, cela n'aura aucune influence sur les autres sorties !
Le timing des sorties DMX peut être adapté de 23 ms à 45 ms, ce qui a pour but d'augmenter la
compatibilité si l'on connecte des appareils DMX "lents" à des contrôleurs DMX "rapides".
On peut choisir la manière dont doivent réagir les sorties si subitement, les deux entrées DMX venaient à
ne plus recevoir de signal :
Null : aucun signal DMX sur les sorties
Hold : on garde les dernières valeurs DMX sur les sorties
Clear : on règle toutes les valeurs DMX à zéro sur toutes les sorties
Configuration aisée grâce à un écran à LED de 4 caractères.
