the control desk. This is distributed, along with 24V
dc power to four ‘daisy-chain’ scroller loops. Each
‘loop’ allows for a maximum of 12 scroller units.
The splitter box optically isolates each scroller loop
from its neighbour and from the control desk. Each
daisy-chain loop should be returned to the splitter
box as this distributes 24 volts of dc power in a
ring formation, as well as terminating the DMX512
line correctly.
Control may be achieved using DMX512 from most
standard lighting consoles.
IP Rating IP20.

Mounting Backplates are supplied to fit most luminaires. See Colour Call
