Overview

Rail-Split extreme is a fully bi-directional DMX512 splitter and distribution amplier, with the

added feature of a ‘data xer’ for DMX. The latter functionality is used for resolving ickering

problems arising from product incompatibility issues - see ‘Fixer Mode’ on page 6 for more

information.

Rail-Split extreme o󰀨ers all the functionality of its sister product, Rail-Split RDM. Both products

feature electrocution protection (self-healing) on the input, loop and all outputs (up to 425 VAC

continuous connection).

Additionally, Rail-Split extreme provides surge protection. This feature is aimed at protecting the

product and connected equipment against voltage surges of the type generated by lightning.

The protection is sacricial which means that after a certain number of protection events, the

protection circuitry will be destroyed (see Specication on page 7).

Connections

Input

The DMX512 input is attached via three screw

terminals. Please refer to the connections

diagram.

Loop-Through

A passive loop-through connection allows

onward connection to other DMX512 devices.

If this feature is not required then the signal

must be terminated. The product contains an

internal termination resistor. This is enabled by

tting a wire link between the screw terminals

that will terminate the DMX line (Term and

DAT+).

Output

Six DMX512 outputs are provided. Each output

is capable of driving 32 additional DMX512

devices. It is not necessary to terminate any

outputs that are not connected. However, a

terminator must be connected to the nal

DMX512 device.

Application Diagram

The diagram below shows how Rail-Split extreme could be utilised in a typical application.

Internal Earth and Isolation

The following table summarises the internal earth interconnection and isolation.

Please note that we use the term Earth-Ground to avoid international confusion. In Europe

Earth-Ground is called Earth; in the USA, Earth-Ground is called Ground.

Circuit Description

DMX512 Input

(including Loop Through)

Type: Isolated

Pin 1: Connects to internal isolated

circuit. No connection to

Internal Logic Ground

DMX512 Outputs Type: PSU referenced

Pin 1: Connected to Internal Logic

Ground

Internal Logic Ground Connected to power supply 0V. If the selected PSU has a connection

between Earth-Ground and 0V the DMX outputs become Ground

Referenced. Otherwise the DMX outputs are Floating. When the

recommended PSU is used, DMX outputs are Floating.

Operating Modes

The product can operate in two modes. In its default mode, the product is a fully-featured RDM

Splitter. In the second mode, it acts as a DMX Fixer.

Splitter Mode

In splitter mode, all six outputs operate as bi-directional RDM ports and all DMX data received

is passed onto the outputs. The indicators have the following meaning:

Top (Data):

OFF = no data received

Green = DMX and RDM received

Yellow = DMX only received

Bottom (Power):

Green = Power

Red = Data error or collisions detected

Fixer Mode

Fixer mode is intended to solve product compatibility problems. Unfortunately, there are numerous

products on the market which will not accept the wide range of legal DMX timings and data.

Fixer mode attempts to clean-out any unusual or non-standard timing and data before sending

to the output. This includes stripping out all non-zero start codes (including RDM), forcing a

512-channel footprint and calming any timing jitter. Indicators have the following meaning:

Top (Data):

As above

Bottom (Power):

Green = Power

Red = I am xing something
