SWITCHbox8

The SWITCHbox8 is a DMX controlled switchbox. You can switch the mains power to eight schuko outlets and the pins of a 16-pole harting like connector. New in this design is the hybrid switch topology; a power relay is combined with a snubberless triac. Because of this special approach you can drive ohmic loads as well as inductive loads from 0 up till 2.5[kW]. This approach leads to a very small and lightweight form factor. SWITCHbox8 comes with a three-phase mains connection cable, assembled with a 32[A] male 5-pole CEE-form connector.

Features:

8 switches in a package.
Outputs on schuko and 16-pole Harting like connector
Output protection by means of internal ceramic fuses, 12.5[A]/slow
Meant for all kinds of load: inductive, ohmic and capacitive
3-digit led display for setting and displaying the DMX address
DMX512 input galvanic isolated, fail save for open input and protected against over voltage.
Led indication for DMX512 present
DMX-switching threshold internal selectable through jumper-settings: 2% or 50%
Hold of DMX-data by lost of signal can be set on or off
All components are PCB mounted (no internal wiring)
Very compact design suitable for distributed placement
