Lighting dimmer pack EUROLITE DPMX-1216 16-channel DMX dimmer, 230V

EUROLITE DPMX-1216 is a 16-channel DMX dimmer pack designed for controlling stage and architectural lighting at 230V. It receives DMX512 control signals and provides independent intensity switching for up to sixteen separate circuits, allowing centralized management of dimmable fixtures in small to medium installations, live events, clubs and venues. The unit is built to integrate with standard DMX lighting desks and playback systems, offering reliable multi-channel dimming suited for fixed installations or portable setups.

Advantages

It supports standard DMX512 input for compatibility with common lighting consoles and control systems. Designed for 230V mains operation, the device provides consistent power handling and stable dimming performance. Its compact chassis and rack-compatible form factor simplify installation into existing setups while providing accessible output connections for quick wiring and maintenance.

How to use

Install the EUROLITE DPMX-1216 in a dry, ventilated location and connect the unit to the 230V mains supply following local safety regulations. Connect the DMX control cable from your lighting desk or DMX controller to the pack's DMX input, set the channel addresses according to your lighting plan, and wire fixtures to the corresponding outputs. Use your lighting console to send level commands to each channel; the pack will translate DMX values into proportional power to the connected dimmable loads. Verify load compatibility and circuit limits before operation and test channels individually during setup.

Usage recommendations

Ensure each output is loaded within the rated capacity of the connected fixtures and maintain proper ventilation around the unit. Use quality DMX cabling and terminate the DMX line where required to prevent signal reflection. For permanent installations, secure wiring and provide access for servicing; for portable use, protect the unit from moisture and impact during transport.
