COMPONENTS

1. R21 Powered Raceway

The R21 Powered Raceway - up to 96 feet long - contains one DMX Headend (one required per universe), up to

forty-eight 20A Dual Dimmer and/or Relay Modules, and at least one Power Terminal Box (PTB). The number of

Power Terminal Boxes is determined by the location and the number of necessary power feeds.

2. Raceway Control Module

The Raceway Control Module (RCM) is used to configure the R21 Powered Raceway. The RCM comes in a 19-inch

"rack mount" configuration for local applications.

Figure 2: Rack Mount RCM Components

3. DMX Headend

The DMX Headend is a central connection point for the R21 Powered Raceway dimming system. One DMX

Headend is required for each universe. The incoming DMX universe is wired inside the DMX Headend and the

headend distributes its connected DMX universe to all dimmers, relay modules, and DMX outlets (as applicable)

within the R21 Powered Raceway chassis.

R21 Powered Raceway Installation Guide

4. Dimmer Modules

Overview

R21 Powered Raceway Dimmer Modules contain one 20A dual dimmer with 20A (2400W) power shared between

the two dimmers. Each dual dimmer module includes two Focus/LED Indicator buttons, which function as both focus

adjustment controls and status indicators.

Figure 4: Dimmer Module Detail

Dimmer Module - Focus Buttons

The Focus Buttons can be used to quickly set the output level or test the module as follows:

• If the module is Off, a tap on the button will take it to full on.

• If the module is On, a tap will turn it off.

• Whether On or Off, pressing and holding the button will ramp up the intensity level. Releasing the button will hold

the setting at an intermediate level.

Note: Fixtures turned on by the Focus Button will remain on until a control console sets a non-zero DMX512 level

for the module. The module’s level setting will be cancelled and it will now follow console control. If the module is

already set to a non-zero DMX512 level by the console, the button becomes a “Flash-to-Full” control, overriding the

level only while the button is pressed.

Dimmer Modules - LED Indicators

Each focus button contains two LEDs associated that are associated with each dimmer and report various operating

conditions. The Red LED turns on for approximately 4 seconds on power-up, and after that the indications are as

follows:

Red LED Green LED Condition

Off Off Normal Operation

Off Flashing No Load

Off On Focus mode (controlled at dimmer)

Flashing

(1.5 sec On, 0.5 sec Off) Off Oversized Load or Overload

Flashing

(0.5 sec On, 0.5 sec Off) Off Over Operational Temperature

On Off No Communications with Head-end Processor

Flashing Flashing Over Voltage

5. Relay Modules

Overview

R21 Powered Raceway Relay Modules contain one 20A dual relay with 20A (2400W) power shared between the two

relays. Each dual relay module includes two Focus/LED Indicator buttons, which function as both focus adjustment

controls and status indicators.

Figure 5: Relay Module Detail

Relay Module - Focus Buttons

The Focus Buttons can be used to quickly set the relay operation or test the module as follows:

• If the module is Off, a tap on the button will turn on the relay.

• If the module is On, a tap will turn it off.

Note: Fixtures turned on by the Focus Button will remain on until a control console sets a non-zero DMX512 level

for the module. The module’s level setting will be cancelled and it will now follow console control. If the module is

already set to a non-zero DMX512 level by the console, the button becomes a “Flash-to-Full” control, overriding the

level only while the button is pressed.

Relay Modules - LED Indicators

Each focus button contains two LEDs associated that are associated with each relay and report various operating

conditions. The Red LED turns on for approximately 4 seconds on power-up, and after that the indications are as

follows:

Red LED Green LED Condition

Off Off Normal Operation

Off Flashing No Load

Off On Focus mode (controlled at relay)

Flashing

(1.5 sec On, 0.5 sec Off) Off Oversized Load or Overload

Flashing

(0.5 sec On, 0.5 sec Off) Off Over Operational Temperature
