3. Mounting
Note for cable glands.
We recommend applying an adequate layer of the paste LOCTITE 5331 on the plastic holder of the
cable gland before inserting it into the body of the gland and an adequate layer of the paste LOCTITE 577 on
the thread of the gland body.
1. Remove the top cover (A) from the E-box Remote by unscrewing four fastening screws (B) in order to
get access to the display (E), control buttons (F).
2. Fasten the E-box Remote on a non-flammable flat surface via four mounting holes (C) of
a diameter of 7 mm in its housing.
3. Remove the terminal blocks cover (H) from the E-box Remote by unscrewing four fastening screws (G)
in order to get access to the terminal blocks.
4. Remove end caps from cable glands before passing cables. To keep declared IP rating of the device,
every cable gland has to be covered with the end cap if the cable gland is not used.
5. Pass cables for DMX and Ethernet through cable glands M12x1.5 and connect them to the terminal blocks
and tighten the cables in the cable glands.
6. Pass cables for Power and LED outputs through cable glands M20x1.5 and connect them to the terminal blocks
and tighten the cables in the cable glands.
Cable glands serve for cables of the following diameters:
Cable gland M12x1.5 (DMX IN/OUT, Ethernet IN/OUT) - for cable of a diameter of 3-7mm.
Cable gland M20x1.5 (Power IN, LED Output) - for cable of a diameter of 7-13mm.
7. Check that all screws and cable glands are firmly tightened.
8. Screw the terminal blocks cover (H) back to the E-box Remote.
9. Connect the E-box Remote to mains.
10. Set the E-box Remote by means of the control panel (E) and buttons (F).
11. Disconnect the E-box Remote from mains and screw the cover (A) back on the box.

NOTE: Each line of Emineres Remote connected to the LED output of the E-box Remote has to be terminated at
the last fixture.
EITHER connect a 120 Ohm resistor between terminals D+ and D- in the last fixture, OR terminate via RDM as
described on page 12.
Ensure ONLY the last fixture in the line is terminated using ONE of the above methods!
Number of connected Emineres to one LED output of the E-box Remote depends on the type of Eminere
Remote and cable length.
The table states max. number of Eminere Remote modules connected to the E-box Remote.
Max. number of Emineres Remote connected to the E-box Remote
Cable length * Eminere Remote 1 Eminere Remote 2 Eminere Remote 3 Eminere Remote 4
25 m 20 10 6 5
50 m 16 8 5 4
75 m 13 6 4 3
100 m 10 5 3 2
* Cable length is the total cable length between E-box Remote and last connected Eminere Remote.
Example: Total cable length = L1+L2+L3+L4
Max. number of Eminere Remote modules connected to the one output of the E-box Remote/E-box Remote Basic is stated
in the following table:
Max. number of Emineres Remote connected to the one output of the E-box Remote
Eminere Remote 1
Eminere Remote 2 Eminere Remote 3 Eminere Remote 4
16 8 5 4
Example: if you want to connect 20 Emineres Remote 1 to the E-box Remote, you may connect 16 Emineres Remote 1 to
output 1 and 4 Emineres Remote 1 to output 2 (at total cable length of 25 m).

4. Eminere Remote modes
The E-box Remote menu allows you to switch connected Emineres Remote to the two modes:
Standard - LED modules are switched to an internal serial connection. DMX addressing of connected LED
modules is made automatically (default DMX address = 1, changes can be done by the E-box Remote or by
RDM). The Standard mode is set as default.
E-box Remote and connected LED modules will be shown in the RDM Manager.
Pass-Thr - (Pass through). LED modules are switched to an internal parallel connection. DMX addressing of
connected LED modules has to be done manually by means of the Robe Universal Interface (or its wireless
version Robe Universal Interface WTX) and the software RDM Manager.
Only connected LED modules will be shown in the RDM Manager.
Note: RDM manager and DMX controller cannot be connected to the E-box Remote at the same time.
Example of RDM manager connection:
