Zr-12 dmx

Any one know what the pins (on the 5 pin din) are on the DMX interface for the Jem zr-12 smoke machine.

 

Thanks

The manual, here, offers this pinout:

 

Pin 1 - NA

Pin 2 - Gnd

Pin 3 - NA

Pin 4 - NA

Pin 5 - 0 - 10v

 

Which isn't helpful, as it's not obvious how the DMX converter is powered...

 

Do you have a friendly electronics lecturer at college who might be prepared to spend some time with you disassembling the converter and tracing the circuit to find out which pin the converter expects to see a supply on?

 

I'm pretty certain that Brian is right about the XS putting out a 10V supply on pin 3.

Yeah, I found somewhere else that pin 3 outputs 10 volts. I can work out how to make aremote switch for the hazer...

But as you say, the pin out for the jem, is for linking a slave machine, and the interface needs power.

Yeah might be worth taking it apart.

Unless anyone else knows the pin out.

 

Thanks

I have a ZR 12 DMX remote (faulty) on Ebay if you're interested.....

No thanks... we have a working one.

I'm just trying to adapt it to work with a le maitre hazer.

 

Thanks anyway

I have got the pin out direct from jem.

If anyone is interested,

 

Pin 1 - not used

Pin 4 - not used

Pin 2 - GND

Pin 5 - 0 - 10v

Pin 3 - +16 volts

 

Thanks for your help everyone
