WSR-DMX Instruction Manual
General
The Rako WSR-DMX module is designed to link between a Rako Wired system and a
standard DMX Lighting controller. Commands from the Rako Wired system are passed
through the WSR-DMX to control the DMX Lighting.
Installation
Before commencing installation of the Rako WSR-DMX modules, first read this instruction
manual carefully.
Rako Controls Ltd accepts no responsibility for any damage or injury caused by incorrect installation
of a Rako product.
Location
The WSR-DMX must be installed in a dry location. Do not install in direct sunlight.
Make sure that there is adequate ventilation.
WSR-DMX connectors
The black RJ11 cable must be connected to a Rako
Wired system. This connection provides power and data
to the WSR-DMX.
There are suitable connection points for the WSR-DMX
on Rako RAK-LINK and RAK-STAR units. Alternatively
the unit can be plugged into a connection point on the
network, either a WPCon or WPConC as shown in Fig.1.
If the WSR-DMX must be remotely mounted away from
any Rak-Links and Rak-Stars, then a Rako WP-Con
connector module can be used to provide a remote
connection point for the WSR-DMX.

Data
Connect the DMX data to the DMX device using either the terminal connections or the RJ45
socket provided.
NB
There is no formal standard for the connection of the Data + and Data – lines for DMX. The most
commonly found connection type is supported by having the header connectors in the NORMAL
position. If this does not work they can be placed in the INVERTED position, this reverses the Data +
and Data – connections.
