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.
