Addressing
The starting address is adjustable via a DIP-Switch. Switch 1 has the valency 2
0
(=1),
switch 2 has the valency 2
1
(=2) and so on… finally switch 9 has the valency 2
8
(=256). The sum of the switches showing ON, represents the starting address.

LED-Display
The LED is a multifunctional display. In the normal operation mode the LED lights
non-stop. In this case the device is working. If the LED is permanently dark, there is
no DMX512-input-signal.
Furthermore the LED signals the operation status. In this case, the LED light up in
short pitches and then turns into off modus. The number of flashing signals is equal
to the number of the error status:

Description
1 No DMX No DMX-signal existing
2 Address error Please check the adjusted DMX-Address
3 DMX-Signal error An invalid DMX input signal is determined,
invert the signal line by changing switch 2
and 3 or use a twisted pair wire.

Operation mode
The operation mode is selectable via a jumper. It is important to place the jumper in
accordance to the following drawings to ensure a clean function.
It is not possible to combine the modes.
Treshold value-output (no jumper placed)
In the mode “Treshold value” there will be received 8
successive DMX-Channels. The belonging output
will be set on OFF if the received value is between 0
and 127 and set on ON if the received value is
between 128 and 255. Thereby output 1 is according
to the first and output 8 is according to the last channel.
This mode allows switching external load relays.

Binary-Output (only jumper J1 is placed)
In the „binary-mode“ only one DMX-Channel
needed. The received value will be binary outputted
at the output. Thereby output 1 is according to the
first and output 8 is according to the last bit.

To invert the output-signal please use switch 10.
Strobe-Control (only jumper J2 is placed)
The DMX-Universal-Demux outputted 8 controlling
signals for stroboscope in the strobe-control-mode.
Thereby each output will be triggered with one DMX-
Channel.
The DMX-Value assignment is as follows:
DMX
Channel DMX Value Function
1...8
0-10 Stroboscope off
11-249 Flashing speed slow →fast
250-255
Synchron flash
Only one time the output will be triggered. Switch
back and forth between the DMX-Value 0 and
255 to get a synchronized flashing.

PWM-Output (only jumper J3 is placed)
In the PWM-Mode 8 successive DMX-Channels are
outputted as PWM-Signal. Depending on the DMX-
Value the PWM-signal will be generated in a range
of 0-100%.
T ON T OFF
DMX LEVEL: 64
T ON T OFF
DMX LEVEL: 192
The PWM-Frequency is ca. 175 Hz.
To invert the output-signal please use switch 10.
Servo-Control (only jumper J4 is placed)
The DMX-Universal-Demux receives 8 successive
DMX-Channels and outputted a signal for triggering
customary Servos. Thereby each output will be used
to trigger one Servo.
For operating with Servos is a 5V power supply necessary, in the rule.
Please note, for the most Servos an additional resistor is needed which must
be connected between the data line and +5V.

CE-Conformity
This assembly (board) is controlled by a microprocessor and uses
high frequency. In order to maintain the properties of the module with
regard to CE conformity, installation into a closed metal housing in
accordance with the EMC directive 2014/30/EU is necessary.
Risk-Notes
You purchased a technical product. Conformable to the best available technology the
following risks should not excluded:
Failure risk: The device can drop out partially or completely at any time without
warning. To reduce the probability of a failure a redundant system structure is
necessary.
Initiation risk: For the installation of the board, the board must be connected and
adjusted to foreign components according to the device paperwork. This work can
only be done by qualified personnel, which read the full device paperwork and
understand it.
Operating risk: The Change or the operation under special conditions of the
installed systems/components could as well as hidden defects cause to breakdown
within the running time.
Misusage risk: Any nonstandard use could cause incalculable risks and is not
allowed.
Warning: It is not allowed to use the device in an operation, where the safety of
persons depend on this device.
