Operating elements and connections

PWR: The red LED lights up when the device is connected to the mains.
DMX: The green LED flashes as soon as a DMX signal is present at one of the DMX IN sockets and goes out when the DMX signal is interrupted.
OUT 1 – OUT 6: DMX outputs 1 to 6 with 3-pin and 5-pin XLR panel sockets. Always use only one connection to control spotlights etc., never both connections at the same time (use either 3-pin or 5-pin socket).
POWER IN: Power Twist mains connection socket for the power supply of the device. A suitable power cord is included.
POWER OUT: Power Twist mains output socket for the power supply of other devices. Make sure that the total current consumption of all connected devices does not exceed 12 A, otherwise injuries and irreparable damage to the device can occur.

Pass Thru / Terminated: If several DMX splitters 6 RDM are connected in series, this switch must be in the ‘Terminated’ position on the last device in the chain.
