IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Failure to comply with these precautions or with specific warnings in this manual violates safety
standards of design, manufacture, and the intended use of this equipment. Do not operate this
equipment in the presence of flammable gases or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument
in such an environment constitutes a definite safety hazard. Device should never be placed near
or over a heat register or other source of heated air and it should not be installed or operated
without proper ventilation.

Mains AC85-265V

AC power is connected via Neutrik PowerCon blue connector. Standard supply is UniSchuko lead

1.5m with Neutrik PowerCon. Always respect marking of L and N on connector for correct wiring
of Line and Neutral when the connector is repaired or replaced. Device is equipped with MCB
with 2A fusing capacity + additional fuses.

DMX connection

DMX connectors are located on the front side of splitter board. These are separated to two
groups. First group is wired in ratio 1:1 and is marked as DMX input and DMX thru. This line is not
optically isolated and when device is the last in line, it should be terminated by the termination
switch of 120ohm.

The other part of splitter consists of 8 optically isolated lines marked as 1-8. Each line has a
separate power supply, line driver and indication of signals D+, D- on both signal lines. These
LEDs are active when splitter is retransmitting DMX signal and there is no short circuit between
data lines.

In case of short circuit between data pins D+/D- to the CMN pin, the LED connected to data line
will be off.

Device in use:

By default, Power LED indicates the device is on main power. If there is no power light present,
please check the main power input. If the DMX cable is connected to the device, LEDs marked as
D+ and D- go on for side marked as DMX input, thru and this indicates that DST8 is receiving the
DMX signal. Speed of light on these LEDs also indicates the refresh rate of DMX signal. Fast
blinking – high refresh rate, slow blinking – slow refresh rate.

There are 8 optically isolated outputs that retransmit the DMX input signal. If any of data LEDs is
off, unplug the signal cable corresponding to this output and check the cable for short circuit
between D+ and CMN or D- and CMD lines.

Should there be any problem, please do not hesitate and contact us at [e-mail] or
[phone] and stay calm. SRS Light Design will certainly help you fix all the problems.
