User Guide IF16
l The IF16 converts 16 channels of
DMX data into 0 to 10 Volt analogue
control signals.
Installation.
Connect the incoming DMX signal to the ¼” jack socket marked DMXin.
Continue the DMX chain from the ¼” jack socket marked DMXout to the next
item in the DMX control chain.
The IF16 will operate with either switching of dimming power packs (such
as the DP5000, DP10000 and SP10000) provided that they have a +15V
output.
Do not connect to a power packs with a supply voltage output of more than
+20V, nor power packs with a negative supply voltage output. This may
damage the IF16.
Connect the power supply voltage output from the slave pack to either pin
6 or pin 7 or both on the IF16 7-pin DIN sockets.
Whilst it is only necessary to connect the power supply from one power
pack to the IF16, it is advisable to connect them all. This ensures that if the
mains to one slave pack is disconnected, then the IF16 does not lose its
power supply. The power supply connections can come from power packs on
different mains phases.
If no supply is available from the power pack proceed as follows:
The IF16 may be used with an external +15V 100mA supply - connect
between pin 6 and pin 2 on any 7-pin DIN socket, pin 6 positive, pin 2
negative. It is not necessary to use a regulated supply.
The IF16 may also be used with a transformer. Use a 12-0-12V 100mA
transformer . Connect as follows: 12V - pin 6 0V - pin 2 12V - pin 7 on any
DIN socket.
