T ECHNOLOGY A SSOCIATION
Always disconnect main power before removing
the enclosure’s cover. eDIN Installation Repeaters
are designed to operate on a mains voltage of 90-
250 volts AC.

SPECIFICATIONS
DMX TERMINATION
If nothing is connected to the DMX THRU terminal block
of the final opto-splitter card, then the termination switch
on this card must be set to the ON position. All the other
cards are not terminated (switch in the OFF position).
If another card is added, or the signal is passed through
to another device, the switch on the final card will need to
be moved to the OFF position and the termination applied
at the new final device. Always make sure the final re-
ceiving device connected to any output or branch line is
properly terminated using its internal switch or jumper or if
necessary a resistor of 120
Ω between pins 2 and 3.

DMX WIRING
•
All cabling must be in one continuous run, daisy-
chained: no “Tees” allowed
•
“Stars” are permitted only in conjunction with a re-
peater or opto-splitter
•
Cable shield may be earth-grounded at one end only,
preferably at the control console
•
Maximum length of one cable segment is 1,800 ft
(550m)
•
Receiving devices have male connectors; transmitters
have female
•
The last DMX device on the line must be terminated
with a termination switch or resistor with a value of
100 to 120 ohms between pin 2 and 3
•
5 pin XLR connectors are standard:
Pin 1: Common
Pin 2: Data (-)
Pin 3: Data (+)
Pin 4: Optional Data (-)
Pin 5: Optional Data (+)
•
Cable must be Belden 9842 (120 Ω ) 9829, 9729
(100 Ω ) ISO/IEC 11801 (Cat5) or equivalent
•
A maximum of 32 DMX receiving devices can be pre-
sent on a single DMX line
Keep all DMX cabling away from high voltage/power ca-
bles to maintain data integrity.
Use the appropriate wire for all connections.
•
DMX Connections: Belden 9829, 9842, Cat5 or
equivalent.
•
Power Connections: Insulated #18-16 AWG, stranded
or solid core
eDIN Installation Repeaters may hold up to two opto-
splitter cards (model 4807 and 4808) or four cards
(models 4809 and 4810). If the original enclosure holds
less than its limit, it is possible to add cards. It’s also pos-
sible to pass through data and low voltage power to a
second enclosure.
DMX THRU passes the console signal to the additional
eDIN opto-splitter card, where the wires are connected to
the DMX IN terminals. While not isolated, DMX THRU
can also be used to pass signal to other devices.
Power can also be daisy-chained using the second pair of
V+ and V- terminals. Polarity should be followed at the
receiving device.
The face of each card inside the Installation Repeater has
the following LEDs:
•
The Power LED will illuminate when power is con-
nected to the card. There is no on/off switch.
•
The DMX IN LED will illuminate and flicker rapidly
when DMX data is being received.
•
Each DMX output has a DMX OUT LED that will illu-
minate and flicker when DMX is being output by that
branch.
DMX 512A COMPLIANCE
This product complies with the DMX512-A standard, un-
der the non-compatible connector (NCC) provision. All
ports are protected to 250V.
