Hazelfader Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 I have a techno fog machine from Jem. It has a detachable remote which runs on a 5 pin din. I want to convert it to run on a 3 pin XLR so I can run it down a multicore line. Does any one know if that is possible, is there a bodge to do it?

3guk Posted April 7, 2005 Share Posted April 7, 2005 Open it up and see how many pins it uses and find out which pin does. I may be wrong but if it uses all 5 pins then you culd just convert it to use 2 XLR sockets running 3 pins down one XLR and the remaining pins down the other. Without seeing the remote I wouldnt be able to tell you. I have converted one of my antari remotes to run down XLR and it does work well. I have not however tried to run it down multicore. Im not that technically minded but im guessing there may be some issues with power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 There is definitely a PDF on their site somewhere. Martin/Jem are very good at that (all of the Jem/Martin machines use the same pinout). I know this because two of us spent 4 hours frantically trying to work out what the pinout was after the stock moulded plug fell apart. After a lot of prodding about and getting periodically shocked by the heater, someone managed to bring the pinout up on their laptop. Lo and behold, it worked. Having said that, I can't find the pinout anywhere on their site... Edit: let me expound: It's essentially a 3-pin system, there's +15v, 0v, and then you send the control voltage back down the third pin. The control voltage is 1v for pre-heat, and 2-10v for power. The 4th pin is the "ready" LED, and I don't think the 5th pin does anything. Unfortunately that's not in order. If you've got a fully assembled remote, then it will be easier to reverse-engineer.
