Prepare for Installation

The 0–10 V Controller is designed for mounting directly to an electrical

junction box or panel (provided by others) at the electrical lighting load,

upstream of the load in the circuit.

DMX Control Wiring

The 0–10 V Controller connects to a DMX512-A source (provided by ETC or

others) for control.

DMX wiring runs can be daisy chains of up to 32 devices with no Y’s or

loops. Each DMX daisy chain must be terminated for proper control

performance (see

Terminate DMX

page 5

ETC recommends using Belden 9729 (or approved equivalent) Class 2 wire.

Belden 1583A or equivalent Cat5, Cat5e, or Cat 6 UTP wire is also acceptable

when properly shielded or installed in grounded metal conduit.

A voltage barrier installation box (part number 7187A1000) is available for

installations where DMX control wiring is installed in grounded metal

conduit. Contact ETC to purchase voltage barrier installation boxes if

required.

The total combined length of a DMX wire run (using Belden 9729 or

equivalent) may not exceed 300 m (1,000 ft).

Note:

If your installation requires Class 2 wiring to be

installed in separate conduit, a voltage barrier

installation box is available from ETC. Order ETC part

number 7187A1000.

Note:

All control wiring should be installed and terminated

by a qualified installer and should follow standard

wiring installation practices.

Leave approximately 20 cm (8 in) of wiring available for

connection and to allow slack for future service needs

0–10 V Controller Page 8 of 16 ETC

Configure the 0–10 V Controller

You can use RDM to set the DMX address and data loss behavior for the

0–10 V Controller. You can set other parameters using RDM, too. See

RDM

Parameters

page 15

Channel Mode

You can configure the 0–10 V Controller to single-channel or dual-channel

mode using Concert or another RDM controller.

• Single-channel mode: Both relays are assigned to a single DMX

address and function in unison.

• Dual-channel mode: Each relay is assigned a separate DMX address

for control. The second DMX address is always the next sequential

address after the first DMX address, and this cannot be changed. The

0–10 V Controller ships from the factory in dual-channel mode. See

RDM Parameters

page 15

You can also switch between single-channel mode and dual-channel mode

using the SET button on the 0–10 V Controller. Press and hold the SET

button to switch modes. The POWER LED will blink once for single-channel

mode or twice for dual-channel mode.

DMX Address

You can assign DMX addresses to an entire daisy chain of Unison Foundry

devices using Concert or another RDM controller. If you cannot assign the

DMX addresses using RDM, you can manually set the DMX start address on

the device. The default factory-set DMX address is 1, and the range of

available addresses is 1–512.

0–10 V Controller Page 9 of 16 ETC

Manually Set the DMX Address

If you cannot assign the DMX addresses using RDM, use the MODE and SET

buttons to set the value of each digit in the three-digit DMX address in

sequence.

Task What to do What you will see

1: Put the controller

into DMX addressing

mode.

Press and hold the MODE

button.

•ThePOWER LED indicator blinks

3 times to indicate that you can set the

100s digit of the DMX address.

•TheSIGNAL LED indicator blinks the

100s digit in the current DMX address.

For example, if the current DMX

address is 201, the SIGNAL LED

indicator blinks 2 times. (If the 100s

digit is a 0, the indicator remains lit and

does not blink.)

2: Set the 100s digit

of the DMX address.

Press the SET button to

set the 100s digit. For

example, press the button

once for 1, twice for 2,

and so forth up to five

times for 5. Press and hold

For example, if the current DMX

address is 201, the SIGNAL LED

indicator remains lit and does not blink.

•IftheSIGNAL LED indicator rapidly

blinks red, this means that you set the

100s digit to an invalid value (for

example, 6). When this occurs, the

0–10 V Controller exits DMX

addressing mode without saving.

Press the SET button to

set the 10s digit. For

example, press the button

once for 1, twice for 2,

and so forth up to nine

times for 9. Press and hold
