Start Address Switches
The DMX relay decoder SyncroSwitch has been preset to DMX start address 001. If another start
address is required, it must be set using a start address board 3000P or 3003P. This start address board
is optionally available. The SyncroSwitch can be operated with or without start address board attached.
Use the BCD switches to set the DMX start address, that is the address of the rst DMX channel (DMX
data slot) used to switch relay output #1. setting is straightforward, no binary calculation required as is
with DIP switches.
S3: Hundreds
S2: Tens
S1: Ones
Setting address 000 will disable all outputs and sett all outputs to OFF regardless of data received. To set
a start adress other than 001 proceed as follows:
- unpower the unit
- open the interface by removing the top cover
- connect the address board 3000P or 3003P using the 10pin connector CN2
- set the desired address
- power up the decoder
- succesful programming will be indicated by the status LEDs, which should blink red - green four
times. Similarly, the DIP settings (see below) must be programmed to the decoder.
DIP Switches
The interface can be congured using the start address board DIP switches. With start address board
3003P, DIP switch settings conform to functions F1..F4.
DIP SWITCH 1 DMX HOLD: default: o = no
When setting HOLD, the last valid setting will be retained at control signal loss. If DMX HOLD is not set,
settings of DIP switch #2 will apply. S3 S2 S1
DIP SWITCH 2 OFF value: default: o = all outputs OFF
When DMX HOLD is not set, all outputs will be driven to the OFF state at loss of the DMX512 control
signal. Setting DIP switch #2 will drive all outputs to ON instead.
DIP SWITCH 3, 4 Hysteresisdefault: o/o = trip point 50%/51%
These switches determine the ON and OFF trip points. Four settings are available:
DIP switch 3 4 trip points
OFF OFF 50% / 51%
ON OFF 25% / 75%
OFF ON 3% / 97%
ON ON 0% / 1%

Relay Types
This decoder is tted with contact relays designed for a switching current of max 10A at 230V (resistive
load only!). When selecting and ordering the appropriate relay card, please note, that all data given by
the relay manufacturers are for RESISTIVE LOAD only. Incandescent lamps may be considered resistive
loads. Switching inductive loads, such as transformers or solenoids, requires lower loads - we strongly
recommend not to exceed 50% of the resistive load data. Besides, contacts may burn due to inductive
spikes and sparks. Make sure to add protective circuitry (RC combinations, VDR resistors) if switching
inductive loads. Switching inductive loads on the mains power supply may also generate high
requence noise and degrade the power supply quality. If switching capacitive loads (electronic ballasts or
psu) inrush current limiting devices may be required to prevent contact damage. If in doubt pls consult
the relay maker data sheet (OMRON, Type G2R-1-ASI, available at
DMX/RDM
The SyncroSwitch 6x RDM is compatible with ANSI E1-20 DMX RDM Version 1.0. Please note some
special properties of devices complying with DMX RDM:
DMX HOLD properties are not supported by RDM standard ANSI E1-20. A factory specic command
(DMX HOLD) has been added to compensate these restraints. Use parametrs 0...2 to set the desired
HOLD mode:
0: no HOLD, all outputs OFF upon loss of signal
1: no HOLD, all Outputs ON upon loss of signal
2: DMX HOLD (last look remains active)
Setting the DMX personality reects setting of DIP switches 3 and 4 (and vice versa).
NOTE: Once settings have benn changed using DMX RDM, the address switches become inactive
(blocked). To re-enable start address switsches, temporarily set any address from 900...999 (simply set
the „900“ digit). This will re-enable switches.
