Product Description

Doug Fleenor Design DMX6REL15A-JBOX 6-Channel DMX Relay Pack in Junction Box

The Six Channel DMX512 Controlled Relay Pack receives DMX512 and uses the levels to open or close dry contact relays. A relay is closed when its level exceeds 60%. The relay is opened when the level falls below 40%. The unit is wired such that when the relay is closed, the line voltage on the AC input is switched onto the AC output (only the hot side is switched). The DMX6REL15A-JBOX, designed to switch line voltage loads up to 15 amps, uses 30 amp relays. The DMX6REL30A-JBOX is the same as the DMX6REL15A-JBOX, but uses two 120 VAC inputs, one for relays 1 through 3, one for relays 4 through 6. Custom options with different trip points, inverted action, momentary action, and DMX loss behavior can be configured in the field. Contact DFD for details. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the DMX6REL15A-JBOX or DMX6REL30A-JBOX. Refer servicing to qualified personnel. Turn off power before removing cover. Do not operate with the cover removed.

Doug Fleenor Design Relay Packs use dry contact air-gap relays. These relays have advantages and disadvantages over the solid state relays found in dimmer packs. Solid state relays can be switched on and off rapidly with no wear, but generate heat and leak current even when in the off position. Air-gap relays do not require cooling and do not leak current, but due to their mechanical design have a finite life span. Our relay packs should be used where a true off condition is required (no voltage, no current). They should not be used in applications where they will be turned on and off rapidly such as in chase lights. Ideal applications include fog machines, power to moving light fixtures, motorized disco effects, strobe lights, fans, etc.
