Connection to Relay
The S-PLAY NANO is equipped with a relay designed for use with low power devices and to provide
switching logic for higher power contactors.
To ensure a safe installation it is imperative that the power connected to the S-PLAY NANO’s relays is
within their operating limits.
The S-PLAY NANO’s relay specifications are as follows:
To calculate to total power your circuit will pass through the relay, multiply the circuit voltage by the
current you intend to pass through it. This value must be lower than 60W. In other words, Voltage x
Current ≤ 60W.
If your application requires main power switching or high current applications, ENTTEC recommends the
use of a DMX switch pack controlled by the S-PLAY NANO’s DMX output or wire the S-PLAY NANO’s relay
outputs to connect to the primary coil of a DIN mount high powered relay or contactor.

Connection to Digital Inputs
The S-PLAY NANO’s digital inputs detect circuit completion to the S-PLAY NANO’s ‘GND’ (V- terminal) to
send triggers.
The maximum resistance of a cable that can be used to connect to a Digital Input to the S-PLAY
NANO’s GND is 20 Ohms.
ENTTEC recommends a total maximum wire length of 100m. (50m total distance from the S-PLAY
NANO in a loop).
The longer the cable, the higher its capacitance and likelihood of interference from EMF (Electro
Magnetic Interference).
To ensure a reliable trigger when creating a system, contact should be made for 3 seconds when
triggering a digital input.
Note: Always run digital input cabling away from main power or high sources of EMI (i.e. air conditioning
units) to reduce interference.
If you require a remote input trigger further away from the S-PLAY NANO than 50m, ENTTEC recommend
the use of a 3rd party GPIO interface that can communicate with the S-PLAY NANO’s other triggering
methods over a network.

DMX Refresh Rate: 40 FPS
Send Black Frame when all playlists stopped: Enabled
Restrict to one active playlist per Group: Disabled.
Networking
The S-PLAY NANO has DHCP IP address enabled by default.
DHCP: When DHCP is enabled, and the S-PLAY NANO is on a network with a DHCP server, it requests an
IP address on power-up. If the DHCP server is slow or absent, the S-PLAY NANO falls back to the default
IP address: 192.168.0.10 with a netmask of 255.255.255.0.
Static IP: When DHCP is disabled, the default Static IP becomes the communication address. Adjust
network settings, including Static or DHCP, Netmask, and Gateway within the Settings page on the S-
PLAY NANO’s web interface. Remember to note the changed Static IP after modification in the web
interface.
Note:
When configuring multiple devices on a Static network, ENTTEC recommends connecting one device at
a time to the network and configuring a unique IP to avoid IP conflicts.
When the S-PLAY NANO is set to a static IP, the default gateway MUST be the same for both the S-PLAY
NANO and your computer for EMU to discover the S-PLAY NANO.

Effects in the S-PLAY NANO rely on a gradient, which makes it perfect whether fine-tuning a multitude
of single channel dimmers or RGB/RGBW lights in 16 or 8bit variants. To create an Effect, press the green
icon and select Effect as the cue type to open the Effect editor window:
1. Firstly, provide a cue name to aid identification.
2. If you wish to view the output live whilst creating your effect, press the preview button at the top
left of the interface to send the recorded data to your fixtures of your S-PLAY’s outputs as defined
on the Settings page.
3. In the Fixture Control section, users can define the LED type that the effect will reference and set
the LED start address for the initial fixture (i.e., the DMX Start address of your first fixture). The
Address Offset, referring to the required channel for the fixture, will be automatically populated.
For example, if you have an 8-channel fixture where the first channels are intensity and strobe, and
color begins from channel 3, you can set your address offset as 8 and the LED start channel as 3.
This configuration ensures that the effect will play every 8 channels, starting from the 3rd channel.
4. The Effect Start Channel defines the position (phase) where the the gradient will apply. The Number
of Fixtures sets the number of the LEDs which will be included within the effect. By inverting the
gradient direction after every defined number of fixtures, the Invert Every X Fixtures allows the
creation of a grid of fixtures showing in a non-linear fashion (perfect for pixel tape projects!).
5. By clicking on the gradient graphic, the user can modify and define the gradient colour at any point.
Each colour point can be dragged to a position to create preferable effect. A maximum of 8 colours
can be created for a Effect Cue in S-PLAY NANO. In order to create for smooth loops, ensure the
beginning and end colour of the Effect are the same. The exact range of fixtures that the color point
in the gradient graphic will affect can be counted based on Number of Fixtures and Position (%).
6. This look can be saved as it is, or a speed and direction can be defined using the slider. (We strongly
recommend using the preview option whilst doing this to ensure all is as you expect in the real
world).
