ProPlex IQ–4 RDM DIN Rail
Quick Start Guide
ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Quick Start Guide, v1.214 June 2021 2
Setup
ProPlex DIN Rail devices use a standard Phoenix MSTB screw terminal
connector in various pin configurations. Please refer to the wiring diagrams
below for correct hook up of your ProPlex DIN Rail product.
1. Connect the 24 VDC power to the power input located in left top
corner. The connector should be wired as depicted in the image below.
1.1. The ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail can be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet).
If you want to use the PoE feature, skip to Step 2.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from your Art-Net or sACN network to the
RJ45 (Ethernet) port on the top of the IQ-4 DIN Rail. To use PoE to power
the unit, connect an Ethernet cable that carries PoE. The specified PoE DC
voltage is 20-56 VDC. PoE can come from PoE enabled Gigabit Switches or
from PoE injectors. Please consult the manual of your PoE device to make
sure it can supply the proper voltage and can support the max. 10W of
power needed for the ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail device.

3. Connect the DMX signal cable to the IQ-4 DIN Rail DMX ports. These
ports can be set up as inputs or outputs using the built-in web server or
with the ProPlex IQ RDM Manager Software. The connector should be
wired as follows:

LED status information
The Power LED has two states: ON and OFF.
•ON: Unit is receiving power
•OFF: Unit is not receiving power
The DMX output LEDs have multiple states: RED, ORANGE (full), ORANGE
(dim), BLUE (full), BLUE (dim), and GREEN.
•RED: There is no active incoming DMX signal.
•ORANGE (full): The port is configured as a DMX output and there is an
active outgoing DMX signal.
•ORANGE (dim): The port is configured as a DMX output and
there is no active outgoing DMX signal.
•BLUE (full): The port is configured as a DMX input and there is an
active incoming DMX signal.
•BLUE (dim): The port is configured as a DMX input and no there is no
active incoming DMX signal.
•GREEN (intermittent): The port is RDM enabled with active RDM
packets on the DMX link. This GREEN intermittent color change is
present in BLUE and ORANGE LED states. Note: Currently sACN E1.31
does not include RDM. Once sACN E1.31 is ratified to include RDM,
there will be a free software update issued for the IQ-4 DIN Rail. Art-
Net must be used currently as the protocol for the IQ-4 DIN Rail in
order to have RDM functionality.

REMOTE CONFIGURATION AND MONITORING OF IQ
NODES
ProPlex IQ Ethernet to DMX nodes can be configured and monitored
via two methods: ProPlex IQ RDM Manager software and via a web
browser.
The ProPlex IQ RDM Manager
software is available as a free PC
download from www.tmb.com .
This software includes a full suite of
configuration and monitoring
features, and makes managing
multiple nodes on a network
extremely easy. The Software also
includes a RDM management suite
for devices connected the IQ nodes
or via a ProPlex RDMigo Cable.
ProPlex IQ Ethernet to DMX nodes can also be remotely configured via
their onboard webserver. Using a PC or Mac internet browser, connect to
individual IQ nodes by typing their IP
address into the
internet address bar.

the ProPlex IQ RDM
Manager software, RDMigo
Cable, and other ProPlex
IQ series products, please

Please see ProPlex IQ RDM Manager Software manual for information on
how to configure the ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail.

Note: ProPlex IQ devices are bidirectional Art-Net/sACN/DMX nodes. All
DMX ports have optical and galvanic isolation. ProPlex IQ units are RDM
enabled and in combination with the ProPlex IQ RDM manager software,
can be used for fixture system setup and maintenance. Unit configuration
can be done remotely using the built-in web server or with ProPlex IQ
Manager Software.
The ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail has the same functionality as the ProPlex IQ
family of Ethernet-DMX nodes.
Please see ProPlex IQ RDM Manager Software manual for information on
how to configure the ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail.
