ColorSource Relay manages power switching and DMX for a connected
chain of equipment. Relays fire at zero cross and automate a randomized
turn on delay up to 2 seconds to minimize effects of inrush while turning on
multiple fixtures on a circuit or many circuits in a system.
Relay activation can be triggered in one of three ways:
•Auto Mode - relay turns on when DMX/ RDM input is detected. Relay turns off
five minutes after data is last detected. (Default Mode)
•DMX Mode - relay turns on when DMX address 512 is at or above 50%, and
turns off when below 50%. The relay can also be patched via RDM to an
address between 1 and 511. Changing the address from 512 disables the turn
on delay function of the relays.(Available only on the Wired DMX relay)
•RDM Mode - relay turns on when it receives an RDM command to do that. The
relay remains on until an RDM command is sent to turn it off, or if power is
cycled to the unit.(Available only on the Wired DMX relay)
LED Indicators
Software On The Relays
Software is updated via a USB drive at boot. The file names will begin with
“CSRW” for wireless and “CSRD” for DMX. USB media should be formatted
with the FAT format. While the relay is updating, the power LED can be used
for troubleshooting:
•Fast Blinking - looking for USB drive.
•Red - upgrade failure.
•Cyan - waiting for USB drive connection (no app loaded).
•Magenta - file not found.
Updating ColorSource transmitters requires UpdaterAtor software.
Note:
The DMX LED will blink during CPU programming, and the Relay LED
will blink during radio programming.

Wireless ID Settings
RDM
Available in the Wired DMX relay with version 1.0 software, Remote Device
Management (RDM) allows for remote configuration of several device
properties, and allows you to view several read-only properties:
• RDM Device Count
•TypeDescription
• Product Details List
• Manufacturer
• Defaults
• Software Version
• Sensors List and Values
• Output Power (Instantaneous Voltage and Current w/ min/max record)
Any RDM controller, such as Net3 Concert or Eos Family software, can be
used to configure these options (default values are in bold):
• Name - ColorSource Relay
• RDM Enable - 01 = enable, 00 = disable (enable/disable RDM Traffic on the
Wireless Bridge's DMX output)
• DMX Address - 1-512
• Threshold - 1-99%, default is 50%
• DMX Loss Time - 1-30 minutes, default is 5 minutes
• Max Turn On Delay - 0-30 seconds, default is 2seconds
• Relay Personality/ Mode - 01 = Auto Mode, 02 = DMX Mode, 03 = RDM Mode
• Wireless ID - editable if ID is set to C on UI, 1=201, 2=102, 3=117, 4=133,
5=149, 6=165
• Identify - 01 = blink all LEDs, 00 = deactivate, 1 min timeout
