This DMX 27 Sales channel RGB Decoder is a wonderful sleek and stylish although strong way to handling many LEDs or maybe 9 multiple RGB LEDs at a sole controller. This decoder makes over this DMX-512 typical a digital management impulses in PWM controller impulses intended for driving a car LEDs in addition to can gain unique side effects like dimming, ramping, spark in addition to shimmer. Just about every production programmes are designed for some sort of optimum connected with 2A each channel/color.
This DMX start out sales channel is determined at a DROP transition, and so not any additional designer becomes necessary. Some sort of Reddish colored GUIDED within the decoder shows DMX electric power in addition to indicate. This Suggestions in addition to Production electric power possesses prop terminals. Both equally XLR 3P in addition to RJ45 fittings intended for DMX-512 In/Out.
This Elite DMX 27 Sales channel RGB Controller provide final with DC management within a modest sleek and stylish offer. This controller attributes agreeable target controls as well as a electric power rank GUIDED. This controller possesses prop terminals with the suggestions electric power network in addition to production sales channel associations. This controller runs with 12 to help per day volts which enables it to cope with currents nearly 15 amps. Just about every sales channel can certainly production nearly 3 amps, or maybe 100 RGB nodes each production collection. This controller likewise attributes XLR in addition to Cat-5 modular jacks to lead you to easily connect to the controller with just about any DMX data line. You can also input data through an XLR cable and output via a cat-5 cable to easily connect to just about any other device. These controllers are great for the hobbiest or commercial installer.
Question about Fuses on 27 channel DMX controller
Just curious if anyone has used any in-line fuses with the DMX 27 channel controller or see it necessary? I plan on running 12v dumb RGB strips off this controller and was thinking I should put some fuses for each output (probably a 3 amp on each positive leg). I have beefed up the tracks as per the mod and plan on running 9 strips off the board.
The need for fusing on DMX 27 channel really comes down to how good your wiring is and whether you can envisage any damage occurring to display elements or the wiring on or going to them. I personally have very very few fuses in use on my display and have never blown 1 of the ones that are there. If you're only looking at controlling 15A or so I would put a fuse in the positive that feeds the board and that would be it. The reason being that the cabling on any 1 of the outputs should be able to handle enough current to blow a 15A fuse. If you're going to really push the board then i would maybe look at fusing each of the 9 banks.
Fuses are there primarily to protect the wiring after the fuse. Using separate fuses back at the power supply to protect the cable going out to each controller is good practice.
So instead of using a single large value fuse on the power supply output and splitting after it, it's better to split right at the power supply and use a smaller value fuse on each controllers feed. This way the individual wire's current capacity is more than the fuse that protects it.
