Data Conguration Guidelines
WhenselectingmountinglocationsforthePDS-150edevicesinyourinstallation,
keepcableandfixturerunlengthlimitsinmind:
• InEthernetnetworks,maximumdatacableslengthsare328ft(100m)between
Ethernetdeviceswithoutarepeater.
• InDMXnetworks,maximumdatarunlengthsare1000ft(305m).The
maximumnumberofPDS-150edevicesthatcanbeconnectedinseriesis32.We
recommendusingtheon-boardDMXrepeaterforrunsofmorethan32
PDS-150edevicesconnectedinseries.However,forrunlengthsoflongerthan
1000ft(305m),werecommendusingathird-party,commercially-availableDMX
repeater.
PDS-150eallowsyoutoinputEthernetnetworkdataandoutputaDMXsignalto
downstreamdevicesandxtures.
