Doug Fleenor Design ALARMINTERFACE Emergency Alarm Interface

The ALARM INTERFACE from Doug Fleenor Design allows an emergency system to trigger a pre-recorded emergency DMX512 backup look. In normal operation, the ALARM INTERFACE passes DMX512 signals untouched. While triggered, the incoming DMX signal is disconnected and the ALARM INTERFACE sends the emergency backup look. The emergency backup look can be set to any lighting levels required by the installer.

Doug Fleenor Design Alarm Interface Specifications:

• Environmental
  • Operating temperature: 0-40º C
  • Operating humidity: 10-90% non-condensing
  • Indoor use only
• Electrical ratings
  • Input: 90 - 132 VAC, 50 - 60Hz, 0.25A
• NOTES on Mounting and Wiring:
  • Mounting: The ALARM INTERFACE enclosure can be mounted on any flat surface meeting the environmental requirements above. Conduit knockouts are provided for ease of installation of wiring.
  • Power wiring: The ALARM INTERFACE is powered by 120VAC, 0.25A. Line and neutral connections are made via terminal blocks. Care must be taken to avoid routing power wiring over the circuit board or in the vicinity of low voltage wiring.
  • DMX512 wiring: The incoming DMX512 signal (from the control console) must be connected to the DMX_IN terminal block. Connections are provided for common (C), data minus (-), and data plus (+). DMX512 cabling to the dimmers and/or fixtures must be connected to the DMX OUT terminals. Similar connections are provided.
  • Alarm closure wiring: The CLOSURE FROM ALARM terminals must be connected to the system which willtrigger the emergency condition. The closure must be a maintained form C type capable of carrying 80mA at 5VDC. While the contacts are shorted, the emergency look will be activated. While the contact closure inputs are not shorted, the incomingDMX512 signal will be passed to the output unchanged.
