Configuring the PDS-375 TRX
Before you can use the PDS-375 TRX, you will need to configure it by selecting the input
options and output options you wish to use. You can perform a basic configuration quickly
using the Setup Wizard, or fine tune any input or output configuration settings by going directly
to the menu for that option.
Making Input and Output Connections
Power
The unit will work with 100-240VAC 50-60Hz mains power sources, and is provided with a
powerCON to NEMA 5-15P plug for connection to US household style outlets. For use with
other types of outlets, replace the plug with a suitable connector.
CKDMX Ports
Connect CKDMX fixtures in any desired arrangement; you can connect all of one type of fixture,
or mix fixtures in any combination. If you combine different types of CKDMX fixtures, you will be
able to configure each output port to match the fixture using the Port Setup Menu described
below.
DMX512 Connections
Connect a standard 5P XLR DMX Cable to the 5P XLRM DMX input. The 5P XLRF Output will
function as a standard hard-wired DMX pass-thru and is auto-terminated when no pass-thru
