ETC ColorSource Relay DMX
ColorSource Relay combines power sequencing and data distribution in a portable plug-and-play format. Available with a hardwired DMX input, the ColorSource Relay is ready to go with no programming required. If you want to personalize your setup, both models support RDM configuration and feedback.
ColorSource Relay is designed to conveniently mount to pipes, fixture yokes, or walls. As soon as the Relay begins receiving DMX signal, it switches on up to 16 A of supported fixtures. Auto-sequencing and zero-cross switching mitigate inrush nuisances automatically. When you are ready to call it a day, simply turn off your console and ColorSource Relay will automatically switch off after a userchangeable delay.

FEATURES
- Provides DMX/RDM in-and-thru on 5-pin XLR
- Input voltage: 90–250 V; 47–63 Hz
- Two-pole air-gap relay supports 208 V and Delta power applications
- Auto sequencing: randomized turn-on delay in each relay ensures that no two turn on at the same time across a system
- Zero-cross switching minimizes inrush draw
- Choice of relay mode:
- Auto Mode (default) - switches on when DMX/RDM signal is detected; switches off after signal is no longer detected
- DMX Mode - switches on when DMX address is at or above 50%; switches off below 50%
- RDM Mode - switches on via RDM command; switches off via RDM command or power cycle
RDM configuration via software such as ETC Concert or Eos - Three mounting options: pipe, fixture yoke, and wall mount
