Anyscene 1 Operating
Instructions
1. Overview and Operation
The Anyscene 1 memory unit provides seven programmable DMX scenes of 36 channels,
plus a ‘Blackout’ function in a double pattress housing suitable for use in architectural
applications. Only a single Anyscene 1 can be used within an installation and if control at
multiple locations is required the installer should use the Anyscene 512 range.
The front panel has ten buttons and ten LED indicators. Switches labelled 1-7 have their
own blue mimic LEDs and are used for storing and recalling the contents of the 7
programmable memories.
The Up and Down buttons are normally used to control the Master level, allowing control
of the overall lighting level.
The green power LED shows when the unit is powered up, and the yellow data LED
indicates that the unit is receiving suitable data from a DMX source for programming or
the unit has gone into standby mode allowing external control. Switch 0 is the blackout
switch and when enabled the corresponding red LED will flash to indicate the unit is in this
mode.
The RJ45 sockets are on the back of the PCB along various option DIL switches and the
connectors for the external scene recall control.
2. Unit Mounting
The Anyscene 1 should be mounted using UK double pattresses with an approximate
depth of 32 mm.

3. Electrical Connections
The Anyscene requires a +5V DC supply capable of suppling up to 50 mA.
 If used with other Anytronics equipment the required supply will be supplied through
the Cat5 cable and the system should be connected as follows,
 If used with other equipment an AS180 PSU should be used to supply power to the
Anyscene and then provide connection to the wider DMX network as follows,

4. Data Connections
The DMX data connections are provided via one 8-pin RJ45 with the pinouts detailed
below. If XLR style outputs are required the installer should use the AS180 as this will
supply power along with the other connectors.
Upon request Anytronics can also supply the D2228 connector PCB to provide extra
connectors for programming only.
5. DMX Requirements
5.1. DMX Loading
The maximum number of DMX receivers allowed along a single line is 32 devices without
the need for a buffer. If a DMX buffer is required within the system and an external DMX
source is also being used the Anyscene must all be linked with the external source and
then joined to the buffer for correct operation to the wider DMX line.
5.2. DMX Wiring
The DMX specification is based on the use of a single DMX source at one end of a twisted
pair with receiving equipment connected along the twisted pair, the final receiver must then
have a line termination resistor.
5.1. DMX Backup
With the power applied, the Anyscene 1 will power up and, if no input DMX data is detected
within 2 seconds, it will start to output DMX data from the last used scene. If another
source of DMX data is detected in the system, the Anyscene will instead remain dormant
in standby/receive mode capturing the current DMX data with start code zero from
channels 1 - 32.
Whilst in this mode, the yellow Data LED will remain illuminated if valid data is being
received at any of the decoded addresses. If the memory write protection switch is in the
ON position, this captured DMX data can be stored as scenes as per the programming
section of this document.
If the DMX source is then disconnected or fails, the yellow Data LED on the Anyscene will
be extinguished. After two seconds the Anyscene will start to retransmit the last received
DMX data, providing a standby or DMX backup feature. None of the mimic LEDs will be
illuminated in this mode as the output data corresponds to the last data received rather
than to the contents of any of the scene memories.

6. Unit Configuration
6.1. Fade Rate
The full-scale fade period from one scene to another can be adjusted using the second
DIL switch marked CYCLE (Preset & Auto). The adjustment is as follows,
7. Programming
As supplied, the Anyscene 1 scene memories have a range of saved presets allowing
electrical contractors to confirm correct operation before final commissioning of the
system. They can be easily programmed from any source of DMX data including another
Anytronics scene memory, DMX lighting desk or a computerised lighting system. The
Anyscene should be programmed whilst connected into the final installation and the
programming source should be connected into the system.
a) Turn on the CD01 DIL switch
b) Connect the DMX programming source (DMX Desk etc.) into the system
c) Power the DMX programming source
d) Power the Anyscene 1, the power and yellow data LED should be lit
e) Use the DMX programming source to adjust the required channels
f) Press and hold the button on the Anyscene 1 where the current scene should be
saved
g) The Anyscene 1 data LED will flash twice to show the data has been saved.
h) Repeat e) to g) for all required scenes
i) Once all scenes have been saved turn the CD01 DIL off to protect the unit
Note: that unless this data LED is illuminated, and unless the internal CD01 DIL switch is
in the ON position, no programming of the scenes will be possible.
