Thank you for choosing a SOUNDLIGHT device.
The SOUNDLIGHT DMX Splitter/Booster 3402B-H is a highly sophisticated device, which was designed to
buffer and distribute DMX light control signals complying with USITT DMX-512/1990 or DIN 56930/2, ANSI
E1-11 DMX512-A and ANSI E1-20 dMX RDM, respectively. The unit can be used with all standard light con-
trol systems.
Its special advantages include:
- universal protocol decoding
Recognizes all variants of the protocol as defined by USITT/ESTA/DIN and displays the presence of a
valid DMX signal.
- future-proof
The unit is software controlled an can be adapted to any change in protocol definition;
- unlimited channel count
The number of DMX channels sent or received does not affect the operation of the DMX splitter/booster
3402B-H, since the unit can handle all transmission lengths.
- cost-effective
The SOUNDLIGHT 3402B-H is a cost-effective solution for many purposes.

INFO: Status information

CONNECTORS
The booster/splitter is using cage clamp terminals for both, input and output. This type of connector is very
reliable, ruggedized and easy to use. Use a flat blade screwdriver only. To open, press lever, insert cable
and release. For stranded wires, we suggest to use (insulated) ferrules.
The DMX data outputs are optically isolated in respect to to the DMX signal input.
DMX INPUT Signal input for control signals according to USITT DMX512/1990 or DIN 56930-2
Pin 1 grey screen / GND
Pin 2 blue DMX - (inverted)
Pin 3 orange DMX + (normal)
DMX OUTPUTS6 outputs, galvanically isolated from the DMX signal input
Pin 1 grey OUT 1 screen / GND
Pin 2 blue OUT 1 DMX - (inverted)
Pin 3 orange OUT 1 DMX + (normal)
Pin 4 grey OUT 2 screen / GND
Pin 5 blue OUT 2 DMX - (inverted)
Pin 6 orange OUT 2 DMX + (normal)
POWER SUPPLY 24VDC approx. 100mA
Pin 1 blue 0.0V
Pin 2 red 24.0V DC
POWER SUPPLY
The power supply is 24VDC. Make sure a stable and regulated DC power source is being used.
Electrical voltage can be dangerous to your health; connections must be carried out by a qualified
technician only.
Make sure the unit has been disconnected from mains before making any other connections to the
booster/splitter. Verify installation before re-applying power.
SIGNAL INDICATORS
Signalling is provided for user guidance.
The state of the booster/splitter interface is signalled by 2 LED indicators.

DMX RDM PROPERTIES
The 3402B-H can process DMX512, DMX512-A and/or DMX RDM telegrams. In respect to RDM traffic, the
3402B-H acts as "invisible" device, which cannot be discovered or addressed. Please refer to the 3402B-H
product page (see below) for more information regarding RDM properties.
CE CONFORMITY
This DMX splitter/booster is microprocessor controlled and uses high frequency (16 MHz
quartz). The interface has been tested in the EMC lab to comply with EN55015.
To ensure the best performance regarding radiated and conducted emissions please make
sure that shielded data cable is used and the shield is connected properly to the GND pin.
Shield must never make contact to other signal lines.
DISTURBANCES
If a trouble-free operation cannot be guaranteed, disconnect the booster/splitter and secure it against unwan-
ted operation. This is especially necessary, when
- the unit has visible damages;
- the unit does not operate;
- internal parts are loose;
- connection cables show visible damages.
