MTX-DE1

Single Channel DMX to Analog Decoders

These single channel decoders have a 0-10V output based on a selectable DMX channel and/or one of three possible analog inputs. They also switch AC power on when that output is non-zero. The DE1x models are faceplates that mount on 2 or 4 gang junction boxes (not included). The DE106 models are in stand-alone enclosures with flanges to enable mounting them on a wall. All members in the MTX-DE1 family share the following features:

• 0-10V Output

  • two screw terminals

  • architectural standard (sink only)

  • theatrical standard (sourcing) option available as special order

• 5A SSR, AC Load only on when output is commanded to > 0V

• DMX and Analog inputs, Last change Takes Precedence (LTP)

• DMX Termination Switch

• Power and DMX Signal indicator

• Analog Input

  • can be internal slider, external pot, or 0-10VDC

  • Model Number with S suffix for integrated slider control, otherwise screw terminals for 0-10V or external potentiometer

• Non-Dim mode limits output to 0 or 10VDC

• Manual mode disables inputs and sets output to selected level

• all models weigh less than 1 pound

MTX-DE8-WM

8 Channel DMX to Analog Interface

The MTX-DE8-WM decodes signals from DMX control desks to analog dimmers, LED, and fluorescent lighting fixtures whose drivers / ballasts accept 0 to +10VDC dimming control. It is used to integrate controllers into theatrical or television lighting systems. The decoder is mounted on a wall, and each driver is connected to one of eight channels on the internal terminal strip. Up to 64 decoders may be chained together for systems of up to 512 fixtures. A thumbwheel switch on the front panel selects the starting channel, and an LED indicates presence of the DMX signal.

For drivers that don’t dim all the way to off, there are on/off options to enable switching power to the drivers. Outputs can be configured for all analog or 1, 2, or 4 on/off outputs. All controlling analog channels must be set to zero for the on/off output to be 0 instead of 10 Volts.

Also available as the MTX-DE8-WMH, the Highest Takes Precedence (HTP) Output version has source-only outputs allowing multiple 0-10V outputs (like our HLC line of House Light Controls) to be wired together controlling 0-10V devices. This enables system configurations that allow for basic light control without booting up the DMX control console.

The MTX-DE8-WM+ (HTP w/ HTL) integrates our MTX-HTL signal converter providing both Architectural 0-10V sink-only outputs and Theatrical 0-10V source-only outputs. This is ideal for popular LED High Bay lights.

MTX-DE48

48 Channel DMX to Analog Interface

The MTX-DE48 decodes signals from DMX control desks to analog dimmers. It is used to integrate DMX controllers into existing analog installations. Use in combination with the MTX-HTL for architectural 0 to 10V LED drivers. Output may be adjusted up to 28V for use with some older dimmer systems. A negative output voltage option is also available.
