Northlight systems isolated signal splitter
for DMX 512 offers full electrical isolation between the input and 3 outputs.
Each output has it’s own line driver and optical isolator.
Controlled slew rate driver , decreasing the EMI radiated from the RS485 lines, and improving signal fidelity with misterminated lines.
In addition to signal isolation, power
isolation is achieved with a split bobbin transformer and separate power
supplies for the input and output sections.
The DMX splitter also serves as a repeater
since each output drives up to 32 receivers.
A non-isolated DMX thru is provided.
Ease of use.
No wall wart transformer to lose. No adjustments
at all. A good splitter is transparent to the system and the user.
LED indicator
Red LED’s for power supplies A and B.
Green LED indicates input signal present.
Connectors

Termination:
Northlights splitter contains a switch selectable terminating resistor.
When the “DMX thru” connector is used, the splitter
is not the last device on the link, the terminator switch should be set to "out".
If the splitter is the last receiver
on the link, then a terminator switch should be set to "in".
