The Doug Fleenor Design DMX6REL1A is a professional, DMX512-controlled relay pack designed to provide reliable, low-voltage contact closure control for a wide variety of non-lighting equipment in theatrical, architectural, and themed entertainment applications. This compact unit translates standard DMX512 protocol signals into six independent, physical relay contacts, allowing lighting consoles or show control systems to trigger devices that are not inherently DMX-compatible. Each of the six channels features a Form C (SPDT) relay, providing a Normally Open (NO), Normally Closed (NC), and Common terminal, which offers maximum wiring flexibility for switching different types of low-voltage, low-current loads such as motors, solenoids, fog machines, low-voltage lighting, alarm systems, or door releases.

Engineered for robustness and reliability in show-critical environments, the DMX6REL1A is built with high-quality components, including industrial-grade relays rated for long life and consistent performance. The unit is designed to be simple to configure and operate, typically requiring only the assignment of a starting DMX address via DIP switches on the housing. Once addressed, each relay corresponds to a single DMX channel; when the DMX value for that channel exceeds a user-definable threshold (often around 50%), the relay activates, closing or opening the circuit as wired. This straightforward operation makes it an indispensable tool for integrating practical effects, set movements, and auxiliary equipment into a centralized, cue-based DMX control timeline managed from a lighting console.

Housed in a durable, compact metal enclosure, the device is suitable for both permanent installation and touring use. It features standard 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX input and throughput, ensuring easy integration into existing DMX line networks. The low-voltage relay contacts are isolated from the DMX control circuit, providing safe and reliable switching for external devices. By acting as a dependable bridge between the digital lighting control world and the realm of physical actuation, the Doug Fleenor Design DMX6REL1A empowers designers and technicians to create more dynamic and integrated productions, where lighting cues can seamlessly trigger mechanical events and environmental effects.
