Architect & Engineer’s Specications

The unit accepts the DMX512 lighting control protocol as input and converts it to LMX-128 for use with multiplex dimming
systems. The DMX starting address of the conversion may be controlled in two channel increments by DIP switch settings. A
hold function and a DMX terminate function can be activated by DIP switches. A front panel “Power On” LED indicator and a
“DMX Valid” LED indicator are also provided.

Connections for the DMX signal are via 5 pin XLR connectors. A male and female connector are used for input and pass through.
A 3 pin male XLR connector is provided for the LMX-128 output signal which controls multiplex dimmers and lighting devices.
The TX30 may be powered by +15 VDC phantom power from multiplex dimmers or by an external power supply.

The TX30 can be optionally supplied to provide an AMX-192 protocol signal output via a 4 pin male XLR connector.

Dimensions are 5.125”W x 1.75”H x 5.25” D. Unit weight is 1.5 lbs.

The Protocol Converter unit shall be a Lightronics TX30.
