• Keep this manual for future reference.

4. Features

• wall or rack mounting (1U)

• 1 input to 4 outputs (VDPSP4N) / 1 input to 8 outputs (VDPSP8N)

• DMX Thru

• electronic isolation between in-and output

• terminator button for last unit

• power and signal indicator

5. Overview

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

1 DMX in – 3 & 5 pins 5 mounting bracket (2x)
2 LED indicators per channel 6 power connector + fuse
3 terminator button 7 DMX out*
4 ON/OFF power switch 8 DMX thru – 3 & 5 pins

* VDPSP4N: 4x 3 pins + 4x 5 pins / VDPSP8N: 8x 3 pins

6. Installation

a) mounting

• The mounting brackets [5] can be mounted in 3 positions on the side of the device: front,

bottom or back. Place the brackets in front or back position for 19” rack mounting, or in bottom
position for wall mounting.

• Unscrew both screws that hold each bracket and place the bracket in the desired position.

• Retighten the screws.

• Make sure to install the VDPSPxN in a dry location with a normal airflow for sufficient cooling.

b) DMX-512 connections

• Make sure all devices are switched off and disconnected from the mains before making any

connections.

• Connect an XLR cable to the female 3

side to the male 3- or 5-pin XLR input [1] of the VDPSPxN.

• To link multiple VDPSPxNs obtain a suitable linking cable (not incl.). Connect the cable to the

female (=out) DMX Tru connector [8] of the VDPSPxN and the other end to the male (=in)
DMX in connector [1].

Notes:

• Do not use both 3-pin and 5-pin input or output simultaneously.

• The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output

connectors.

• Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum

recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.

• On the last VDPSPxN in the chain, enable the DMX terminator by pressing the terminator

button [3]. The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise.

• Connect your DMX devices (not incl.) to the female output ports [7] at the back of the

VDPSPxN.

VDPSP4N: only use either the 3-pin or 5-pin output connector of an output channel; never

connect DMX devices to both output ports at the same time.

Note: every last device on a DMX chain connected to an output [7] of the VDPSPxN must get

its own terminator. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor between
pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain.

-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the other

7. Operation

• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical connection.

• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All fixtures must be powered directly off a

grounded switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat
or dimmer channel is used solely for 0% to 100% switch.

• When all connections are made and verified, switch on the VDPSPxN with the ON/OFF switch

[4].

• The red LEDs [2] switch on when the DMX output channels are powered; the green LEDs [2]

indicate the presence of a DMX signal on the indicated channel.
