1 Introduction
T e DTM-MA Master station outputs DMX512, controlling lig ting and ot er stage equipment. SDE
stations may be added to t e control loop to provide convenient access to t e system functions. SDE
stations are remote entry stations, simply referred to as 'remotes'.
Additional modules can be added to t e system as needed
•T e S-MIO (Multi-I/O Interface) provides additional inputs for occupancy sensors, daylig t
sensors, and ot er switc ed inputs as well as outputs for control of s ades or ot er equipment.
•T e S-COM (Communications module) allows for external control of t e DTM-MA using
serial and Et ernet interfaces. Use S-COM wit t e SoliMobile app on a mobile p one or
tablet.
1.1 Definitions
Zones and DMX channels
DMX c annels control intensity, color, and ot er attributes of lig t fixtures or ot er equipment. Zones
are t e unit of control used by t e stations and correspond to t e sliders. DMX c annels are assigned
to zones (patc ed) w en t e DTM-MA station is configured.
Intensity and color
Intensity refers to t e brig tness of a lig t and ranges from 0% (off) to 100% (full). W ite lig ts are
controlled by t eir intensity, w ere intensity is one c annel of DMX. Color lig ts typically ave t ree
or more color controls as well as intensity, using several c annels of DMX. Zones are defined
according to t e kind of lig t t ey control. RGB zones control t e red, green, and blue c annels of a
lig t wit a color-picker. W ite and amber are controlled like intensity, eac on its own slider.
Non dim zones
A ‘non-dim’ zone as only as two output levels, 0% or 100%. A non-dim zone would be used w en
t e c annel it controls is connected to a fan, any type of motor, an outlet, or any lig ting fixture t at
s ould only be on or off. Non-dim zones do not fade. If a fade time is assigned to a non-dim zone, t e
lig t level will c ange alfway t roug t e fade time.
Presets and Fade Times
A preset olds a lig ting ‘look’. T is consists of t e zone levels required to ac ieve t e desired
intensity and color, and t e time span to fade into t ose levels after t e preset is activated. Presets are
stored in t e memory of DTM-MA stations and can be activated at any of t e remote entry stations.
T e 'active preset' is t e one currently in effect. T e Off preset as all intensities fixed at 0%. Presets
1 to 18 and Full can be set and c anged by t e user.

Areas and Walls
Area assignment is a way of grouping stations and controls. Stations in t e same area are controlled
by one set of preset numbers and are all affected by remote locking, up/down mastering of zones, and
occupancy sensor reporting. Sensors are enabled/disabled per area. T e Lig tsOut function is per
area. Typically, all stations in a room are assigned to t e same area.
W en areas are separated by a moving wall partition, t e wall is identified by t e area names it is
between. W en walls are opened, areas are combined and area-wide c anges made to one area will
apply to all t e combined areas.
Auto sequencing
Auto-sequencing is w en presets are activated in sequence, repeatedly. Presets advance from one to
t e next according to t e fade time set for eac preset. T e first and last presets are set in t e
configuration. Like presets, auto-sequencing is done across an area.
Locking
Locking is used to deny access to stations and to preserve station configuration and preset definitions.
DTM-MA station – Can be access-locked, memory-locked, or not-locked. An access-locked
station will not allow any user input. A memory-locked station will not allow preset
definitions to be c anged. A not-locked station does not restrict access or memory c anges.
Locked stations can be temporarily unlocked w en t e correct unlock code is entered at t e
station.
SDE remote entry stations – SDE stations in an area may be locked or unlocked if t ey are
capable of being locked (capability set via jumper, see SDE manual). T e buttons on a locked
station are not functional.
Emergency
W en Emergency is declared in t e DTM system, all emergency-affected zones across all areas are at
full intensity, colored zones are w ite. T is would typically be used in t e event of a fire alarm.
Input signals are used to trigger Emergency in t e system. One or more input signals, at t e DTM-MA
or S-MIO, are programmed to andle emergency input signals. W en any emergency inputs are
'active', Emergency is declared. W en all are 'inactive', Emergency is cleared.

1.2 Getting Started
1.2.1 Set up DTM-MA Station
Configure t e DTM-MA using t e ManageConfig application (section 2). Transfer t e configuration
file to t e DTM-MA and make sure fixtures and zones are controlled as expected. Redo t e
configuration as needed. Presets are best set up live at t e DTM-MA. W en presets are complete,
transfer t e configuration back to t e ManageConfig computer so t at t e entire configuration,
including t e presets you just set up, is stored in a file as a backup of your work.
1.2.2 Set up SDE stations
SDE remote entry stations (“remotes”) are available in different button configurations. See t e SDE
manual for details.
1.2.3 Set up S-MIO
If t ere is an S-MIO (Multi-I/O Interface) in t e system, it must be programmed. See t e S-MIO
Manual for instructions on ow to do t is. Like t e SDE stations, t e S-MIO can be programmed
using Program-Device mode at t e DTM-MA. T e DTM-MA provides t e user interface, t e
programmed information is stored at t e S-MIO, not at t e DTM-MA.
2 Configuring the DTM-MA using ManageConfig
All configuration is done using t e ManageConfig application running on a Windows computer. T e
configuration file is t en transferred to t e DTM-MA wit a USB cable. After presets ave been set at
t e DTM-MA, transfer t e configuration back to t e computer to back up your work.
Requirements:
•USB cable: Type A male to Micro B male.
•Windows computer wit Windows 7, 8, or 10.
•ManageConfig application: download t is at www.le ig dim.com. Click on 'Downloads',
click on 'Searc '.
•Once installed, refer to 'ManageConfig Instr' (on t e Start menu for ManageConfig, under
Le ig ) for instructions on using t e app. Or, start ManageConfig and over t e mouse over
t e buttons for tips.
In general, configure t e Site items first, t en add areas as needed. For eac area, set t e number of
zones and set t e zone types, followed by DMX parameters and patc ing. Configure presets. Preset
levels/colors can be set in ManageConfig or set ‘live’ on t e station.

2.1 Configure Site
Click on ‘Site’ in t e left-side panel to s ow t e Site tab. Site parameters apply to t e station and all
of its areas.
2.1.1 Station tab e
•lock capability: T e DTM-MA may be access-locked, memory-locked, or not-locked. An
access-locked station will not allow any user input. A memory-locked station will not allow
preset definitions to be c anged. A not-locked station does not restrict access or memory
c anges. Locked stations can be temporarily unlocked w en t e correct unlock code is entered
at t e station.
•IR enabled area: If t e IR remote is used at t e DTM-MA, set t e area t at it applies to or
disable it.
•Stop DMX after off: By default, DMX is always output. Use t is option to stop all DMX
output w en t e fade to Off as completed at all areas.

2.1.2 Station inputs tab e
T e DTM-MA as 2 p ysical inputs, labeled EMER and OCC on t e circuit board. Typically, an
occupancy sensor would be connected to OCC and a fire alarm would be connected to EMER but
t ese can be connected to any dry-contact input. EMER can also be connected to a daylig t sensor by
setting jumpers J4 and J5. See section 4.1 for connection details. T e jumpers must be in t e correct
position or t e input will not work.
Configuring an input signal is a 2-step process.
Step 1: Configure t e signal according to its p ysical c aracteristics and assign it to a port. T e signal
can be maintained, momentary, or analog (EMER only, for daylig t sensors). T e signal can be
'active ig ' or 'active low', w ere 'active' is t e 'on' state of a general purpose input or t e 'occupied'
(motion detected) state of an occupancy sensor. An 'active ig ' daylig t sensor reports 10v w en
lig t is brig test. T e port assignment determines ow t e signal gets used, and its number. For
example, input signal OCC could configured as port 'occ1' (occupancy sensor #1) and EMER could be
configured as port 'gpi1' (general purpose input #1).
Step 2: Configure t e port. T is is w ere you select t e action t at t e 'gpi' port triggers or t e
be avior of t e 'occ' and 'day' ports. See section 2.7.1 to configure occupancy sensor ports, section
2.7.2 to configure general purpose input ports and section 2.7.3 to configure daylig t sensor ports.
If t ere is an S-MIO in t e system:
Port assignments are used t roug out t e system so t ey must be unique. If t is master as assigned
gpi1 and occ1, t en t ese must not also be assigned at an S-MIO.
Example 1: If you want signal EMER to start t e emergency function w en t e signal is ig ,
configure signal EM to be maintained, active ig , and assigned to gpi1. T en, go to t e general
purpose inputs configuration and set t e action of port gpi1 to 'emerg on'.
Example 2: If you want signal OCC to be from an active low occupancy sensor in area 1, configure
signal OCC to be maintained, active low, and assigned to occ1 in area 1. Go to t e occupancy
sensor configuration in area 1 to set up t e occupied and vacant presets as desired.
Input signal types:
mntd: a maintained signal as two states, 'on' and 'off'. Eac state corresponds to a ig or low
level, depending on t e polarity setting.
mom1: a pulse wit a minimum widt of 40ms. Every time t e pulse occurs, t e 'on' state will
occur. Do not use t is type for an occupancy sensor or for a general purpose input used to
trigger Emergency.
mom2: a pulse wit a minimum widt of 40ms. Every pulse causes t e 'on' and 'off' states to
alternate.
anlg: analog input from a daylig t sensor (EM only).
Input signal polarity:
ig : a ig level or pulse means t e 'on' state. For daylig t sensors, 10v means sensor is
reporting maximum lig t.
5

low: a low level or pulse means t e 'on' state. For daylig t sensors, 0v means sensor is
reporting maximum lig t.
Input signal port:
 All port names must be unique across t e w ole system.
gpi1 t roug gpi8: input signal is a general purpose input. If t is input is used to trigger
Emergency, t e signal type must be 'mntd' or 'mom2'.
occ1 t roug occ8: input signal is an occupancy sensor input. T is signal type must be 'mntd'
or 'mom2'.
day1 t roug day8: input signal is a daylig t sensor input (EM only). T is signal type must be
'anlg'.
none: select t is if t e port is not used.
2.1.3 Tab es for timec ocks
2.1.3.1 Location table
Location needs to be set so t at t e station can determine t e sunrise and sunset times for timeclock
events. Location is expressed in latitude and longitude degrees (GPS coordinates). You only need
w ole degrees, suc as 40 Nort and 75 West. T ere are several ways to easily determine t is:
•On a smartp one, compass, weat er or GPS apps may provide t is information.
•In an internet browser, searc for your city's GPS coordinates. For example, type “Allentown
PA GPS coordinates” into a Google searc .
•See Appendix 6.2 for a list of GPS coordinates by USA city.
2.1.3.2 Time table
T e time zone is expressed as an offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). For example, if you
are in t e Eastern Time zone, your UTC time is -5 ours, regardless of w et er or not you are in DST.
If you want t e station to automatically adjust for Daylig t Saving Time, enable DST on t is screen.
W en Daylig t Saving Time is enabled, t e station will automatically c ange t e time – 1 our a ead
at 2:00 AM on t e second Sunday in Marc and 1 our back at 2:00 AM on t e first Sunday in
November.
2.1.3.3 Holidays table
At t e start of every year, t e station loads a new set of default olidays, as s own in Appendix 6.3.
T ese can be c anged as needed, repeated yearly. T ere are 25 olidays t at can be defined. Holidays
can be used to specify w en a Timeclock event occurs.
