SYNCROADC
The SyncroADC Multiplexer converts analog control signals (0...10V DC) into digital DMX control
signals. The SyncroADC accepts 12 analog Inputs. It is ideally suited to integrate operating Panels
or analog inputs into the Syncronorm Depence Network Structure. The unit may be congured for
linear Mode, to switching mode or to 1...10V Input sensitivity. Additionally, a second independent
DMX512 out may be activated by the input Signal.

Signal Indicators
The Multiplexer 3112A-H consists of two signalling LEDs:
red: Error blinking: no valid DMX input signal present
green: unit is active, at least one input signal is present.
blinking: no valid start address set
Important Notice
All decoders intended for DIN rail mount may need a DMX start address board to set the desired start
address. DMX start address boards cat no. 3000P (switches) or 3003P (display) may be used. Since one
start adress board can be used to program any DIN rail unit this is NOT contained with this product and
must be ordered separately.
0-10V / 1-10V
The multiplexer can be used for signal input voltages from 0..10V or 1...10V,respectively. (to change the
input range see chapter „DIP SWITCHES“). If inputs are required to comply with unpowered 1-10V driving
gear, use an additional 1mA current source to supply the required bias current.

SETTINGS & SETUP
Signaling
Upon connection of power (230V AC) to connector CN2 (see page 2) the multiplexer is ready to work.
The red LED will light. As soon as DMX512 is applid on the input terminal, or any analog signal input (1-
12) is driven from an input voltage of more than 100mV the green LED will come up to indicate activity.
Switch Settings
To program the multiplexer conguration the DMX start address board may be connected to CN5. The
multiplexer may be used with or without start address board connected; if the board is diconeccted the
last valid settings will be retained in nonvolatile memory.
Note: It may take about 2 secs until data are saved. The input DMX signal is fed to the DMX512 output,
and is superimposed with the analog input data. The DMX start address denotes the data slot number
starting with analog input #1, followed by inputs #2 thru #12. All other data slots are not aected.
DIP-Switches
The DIP switches are used to congure the multiplexer.
DIP-SWITCH 1 DMX HOLD
OFF: Normal
ON: DMX HOLD „retain last look“
DIP-SWITCH 2 INPUT VOLTAGE RANGE
OFF: Linear Mode
ON: Switch Mode, OFF<2,5V, ON>7,5V
DIP-SWITCH 3 SWITCHING MODE
OFF: input voltage 0...+10V DC
ON: input voltage 1...+10V DC
DIP-SWITCH 4 MERGE MODE
OFF: Normal, DMX data merged HTP with analog data
ON: Prevail, DMX data replaced with analog data
