ProPlex IQ–4 RDM DIN Rail
Quick Start GuideSetup
ProPlex DIN Rail devices use a standard Phoenix MSTB screw terminal
connector in various pin configurations. Please refer to the wiring diagrams
below for correct hook up of your ProPlex DIN Rail product.

1. Connect the 24 VDC power to the power input located in left top
corner. The connector should be wired as depicted in the image below.

1.1. The ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail can be powered by PoE (Power over Ethernet).
If you want to use the PoE feature, skip to Step 2.
2. Connect the Ethernet cable from your Art-Net or sACN network to theRJ45 (Ethernet) port on the top of the IQ-4 DIN Rail. To use PoE to power
the unit, connect an Ethernet cable that carries PoE. The specified PoE DC
voltage is 20-56 VDC. PoE can come from PoE enabled Gigabit Switches orfrom PoE injectors. Please consult the manual of your PoE device to makesure it can supply the proper voltage and can support the max. 10W ofpower needed for the ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail device.

The Power LED has two states: ON and OFF.
• ON: Unit is receiving power• OFF: Unit is not receiving power
The DMX output LEDs have multiple states: RED, ORANGE (full), ORANGE(dim), BLUE (full), BLUE (dim), and GREEN.
• RED: There is no active incoming DMX signal.
• ORANGE (full): The port is configured as a DMX output and there is anactive outgoing DMX signal.
• ORANGE (dim): The port is configured as a DMX output andthere is no active outgoing DMX signal.
• BLUE (full): The port is configured as a DMX input and there is anactive incoming DMX signal.
• BLUE (dim): The port is configured as a DMX input and no there is noactive incoming DMX signal.
• GREEN (intermittent): The port is RDM enabled with active RDM
packets on the DMX link. This GREEN intermittent color change ispresent in BLUE and ORANGE LED states. Note: Currently sACN E1.31
does not include RDM. Once sACN E1.31 is ratified to include RDM,
there will be a free software update issued for the IQ-4 DIN Rail. ArtNet must be used currently as the protocol for the IQ-4 DIN Rail inorder to have RDM functionality.

via two methods: ProPlex IQ RDM Manager software and via a webbrowser.
The ProPlex IQ RDM Manager
software is available as a free PC
download from www.tmb.com .
This software includes a full suite ofconfiguration and monitoring
features, and makes managing
multiple nodes on a network
extremely easy. The Software also
includes a RDM management suitefor devices connected the IQ nodes
or via a ProPlex RDMigo Cable.

ProPlex IQ Ethernet to DMX nodes can also be remotely configured via
their onboard webserver. Using a PC or Mac internet browser, connect toindividual IQ nodes by typing their IPaddress into theinternet address bar.

Note: ProPlex IQ devices are bidirectional Art-Net/sACN/DMX nodes. AllDMX ports have optical and galvanic isolation. ProPlex IQ units are RDM
enabled and in combination with the ProPlex IQ RDM manager software,
can be used for fixture system setup and maintenance. Unit configuration
can be done remotely using the built-in web server or with ProPlex IQ
Manager Software.
The ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail has the same functionality as the ProPlex IQ
family of Ethernet-DMX nodes.
Please see ProPlex IQ RDM Manager Software manual for information on
how to configure the ProPlex IQ-4 DIN Rail.
