INTERNAL JUMPER SELECTIONS
Caution: The following procedures should be performed by qualied personnel only.
Remove all power and remove the cover of the dimmer pack. Locate and change conguration DIP swutch
settings on the ring card as indicated in the following section.
Softstart
The Softstart mode of operation forces at least a 1/10th second delay between the output being full OFF to the
output being full ON to allow a more gradual warming of the lamp laments. Thermal shock and inrush currents
are reduced thereby increasing lamp life. Softstart should not be used when quick dimmer response is desired,
such as chasing.
To enable Softstart, remove the jumper block from the pin marked P13 on the ring card. Replacing the jumper
block will disable Softstart. Switch DIP 1 Off.
NOTE: The channels of the DDS 5600 congured for NON DIM operation will not be affected by Softstart.
NON DIM Channels (Relay Mode)
Any of the channels of the DDS 5600 may be congured as NON DIM channels. This will cause the output of the
channel to go to full ON whenever the input signal is over 15%. When the input signal drops to less than 10%,
the channel output goes to full OFF. This is the equivalent of a zero-crossing solid state relay.
To congure a channel for NON DIM operation simply switch the dip switches on the ring card as indicated
below. Moving the switch to ON will restore dimming operation.
AUTO SEQUENCING MODE
The DDS 5600 dimmers can be congured to perform stand alone Automatic Sequencing in place of Auto Lamp
Test. This is useful for lighting displays and show windows. The four channels will automatically fade from one
to another in a preprogrammed pattern and time selected by the front panel DIP switch whenever DIP switch #8
is down and no multiplex signal is detected. The analog control input will continue to operate while the dimmer
is sequencing. Patterns and time settings are set by external dip switches 1-6.
To enable Automatic Sequencing Mode switch DIP 2 Off.
NOTE: Auto sequence will not start unless internal DIP 2 and external DIP 8 are off and control signal
must be absent.
Dip Switch Settings
DIP switch #7 ON causes all above sequences to ping-pong.

INTRODUCTION
The Leviton DDS 5600 dimmers represents a key part of a state of the art, integrated lighting control system.
These dimmers may operate in a “stand alone” mode for automated lighting of displays or may be combined
with a Leviton memory lighting console for total lighting control.
The DDS 5600 provides four 600W Channels, this dimmer is designed for portable or semi-permanent use for
entertainment or display lighting. Several DDS dimmer packs may be combined for more channels of lighting.
SPECIFICATIONS
MOUNTING
The Leviton DDS 5600 dimmer packs are designed to be mounted vertically. Each dimmer pack is provided
with mounting anges at the top that accepts a mounting bolt or “C” clamp. The back cover can be reversed to
hang the unit from a pipe. Pipe mount units should be secured with a safety cable.
Since the DDS 5600 depends upon convection cooling, room air ow must be insured. Keep the air vents located
on each side of the dimmer pack clear of dust or any obstructions. In order for unit to cool properly the surface
containing the control receptacles must be oriented towards the oor.
If several units are to be operated in a small enclosed room, adequate ventilation must be provided to prevent
the room temperature from exceeding 100 degrees Fahrenheit.

AC POWER CABLE
This is the main power cord for your dimmer pack which ultimately carries all of the AC power consumed by lights
connected to the dimmer pack. The DDS 5600 with the NEMA 5-15 plug is limited to 1800 Watts max., while the
unit with the NEMA 5-20 plug will support the full 2400 Watts. It must be connected to a power source capable of
supplying the total power drawn by the lights. (See SPECIFICATIONS for details on maximum power capability).
WARNING: Do not remove grounding prong of AC plug. To do so may allow exposure to potentially lethal
voltage levels and will void the warranty on this product.
AC OUTPUT RECEPTACLES
The DDS 5600 has two AC receptacles for each channel. These receptacles provide power to the lamps in your
lighting system. The amount of power supplied to these outlets controls the intensity of the lamps connected.
The total lamp wattage connected to each channel must not exceed the rating of each channel (see
SPECIFICATIONS).
MICROPLEX MULTIPLEX CONTROL WIRING
Microplex is the control protocol used on most Leviton lighting consoles. This system uses a single three conductor
cable to transmit up to 128 channels of dimmer control. For short distances (50 feet or less) a standard microphone
cable may be used to carry both the control signal and the DC power source for Leviton control consoles. Longer
distances may be accommodated with 18 gauge or better cable to reduce voltage losses of the power supply.
Connect the Microplex control cable to either of the three pin XLR jacks. Since both jacks are wired in parallel,
another control cable may be connected between the remaining jack and another dimmer pack. Many dimmer
packs may be “daisy chained” together in this manner.
Be sure to set the Channel Address DIP switch as required (see DIP SWITCH SETTINGS).
ANALOG 0-10 VDC CONTROL WIRING
Each of the four channels of the dimmer pack DDS 5600 may be operated by an analog 0-10 VDC control
voltage. This type of control will provide 0% intensity at 0 volts and 100% intensity at 10 volts. Any or all of the
DDS 5600 dimmer channels may be operated in this manner simultaneously with any multiplex control input.
Each dimmer will respond to the greater of any control inputs.
The analog control input uses a standard 5 pin DIN plug which is available from most electronics supply houses.
Connect each of the positive channel control wires to the desired dimmer channel input pins of the plug. Connect
the common (ground) control wire to the pin indicated on the diagram. Consult the documentation of the analog
control console or device you are using for the proper connections. The control input impedance is 4.7K ohms.

DMX512 MULTIPLEX CONTROL WIRING
DMX 512 is the United States Institute of Theater Technology (USITT) standard for the digital control of dimmers.
Leviton DDS dimmer products can be converted from Microplex to DMX 512 digital multiplex with a simple kit
available from your dealer.
DMX 512 is the preferred type of control wiring when many dimmer channels are used, because of the high
update rate and the resistance to interference. It is recommended in locations subject to electrical noise. DMX
512 only requires 3 wires to transmit lighting levels for as many as 512 relay or dimmer channels. Most of the
Leviton lighting control consoles can optionally use this interface.
Connect the DMX 512 cable from the control console to the male input connector. Another cable may be connected
from the female connector to the male connector of another pack. Many dimmer packs may be “daisy chained”
or connected together in this manner.
Be sure to set the Channel Address DIP switch as required (see DIP SWITCH SETTINGS).
LED INDICATORS
The front panel indicator LEDs indicate the status of the dimmer.
• RED — Indicates the ring card is receiving DC power.
• GREEN — Steady indicates a multiplex control signal is being received.
• YELLOW — Indicates a respective dimmer channel is active and the LED indicates relative intensity.
AUTO LAMP TEST
Whenever DIP switch #8 is in the OFF (down) position and there is no multiplex signal detected, all channel
outputs will come to full intensity. The automatic sequencing feature must be disabled for this Auto Lamp test
to operate (see INTERNAL JUMPER SELECTIONS).
CHANNEL FUSES
Each channel is protected by a fuse to help prevent overload and damage to the power control devices used
in the dimmer. Be sure to replace the fuse with the same type of rating. Replacement with the wrong fuse is
dangerous and will void your warranty.
NOTE: Lamps may sometimes cause a temporary “short-circuit” when the lament burns out and cause
the fuse to blow. This is normal and protects the internal dimmer circuitry from damage.
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION TIPS
Care should always be taken to:
1) Keep all AC wiring away from control wiring.
2) We also recommend power up and performance checks be done one unit at a time. This can be a real time
saver should problems arise thus eliminating unnecessary isolation techniques to resolve problems.
