Pharos EDN 10 - Designer Ethernet Data Node 10 with 2 x EtherCON RJ45 and 10 x DMX/RDM 3-Pin Phoenix Connectors in Black Finish

The Pharos EDN 10 (Ethernet Data Node 10) is a powerful and flexible solution designed to enhance DMX control in large-scale lighting installations. Specifically engineered to integrate seamlessly with Pharos Designer Controllers, the EDN 10 provides up to 10 DMX512 output ports within a compact 1U 19" form factor, making it an ideal choice for projects requiring efficient data distribution without compromising on performance. With the ability to daisy-chain multiple nodes, you can expand your system to accommodate as many DMX ports as needed, making the EDN 10 a versatile component of your lighting control arsenal.

The EDN 10 features two EtherCON RJ45 ports, allowing for robust connectivity and redundancy. Each DMX port is independently galvanically isolated up to 2kV, ensuring that both the control circuitry and connected fixtures are protected from electrical faults, such as earth potential rise and ground loops. This level of isolation not only enhances the safety of the installation but also contributes to stable and reliable operation under varying electrical conditions.

One of the standout features of the EDN 10 is its self-healing DMX ports. In the event of an energy surge, such as a short circuit or AC power fault, the EDN 10 contains the surge, preventing it from affecting other components in your system. Once the fault is resolved, the ports automatically restore DMX output, ensuring uninterrupted service and reducing downtime.

Integration with the Pharos product range is seamless, as the EDN 10 is built on proprietary Pharos technology. Connecting the EDN 10 to your lighting project is as simple as ensuring it is on the same network as the Controllers. The Pharos Designer software will automatically detect the node, allowing for easy configuration and control of your Ethernet-distributed DMX network. The intuitive drag-and-drop interface simplifies patching and timeline programming, enabling you to set up your system with minimal effort.

Scalability is another critical advantage of the EDN 10. You can combine up to 200 Remote Devices on the same network, including other EDN units, providing the flexibility to customize your installation according to specific requirements. Each Remote Device can be easily addressed using a thumb wheel, ensuring efficient programming and operation, whether you are working with a single Controller or multiple devices.

The EDN 10 also supports the Remote Device Management (RDM) protocol (ANSI E1.20) when connected to TPC, LPC, and LPC X Controllers. This allows fixtures connected to the DMX512 outputs to communicate back to their respective Controllers over the Ethernet network, facilitating easier monitoring and management of your lighting assets.

Designed for reliability, the EDN 10 is housed in a solid-state enclosure suitable for 24/7 operation. It is easy to install, with installer-friendly connectors and a robust DIN rail mounting option, making it well-suited for permanent installations. With its IP20 ingress rating, the EDN 10 is protected from solid objects larger than 12mm, ensuring durability in various environments.

In conclusion, the Pharos EDN 10 Ethernet Data Node is an essential component for any sophisticated lighting control system. Its combination of robust features, seamless integration, and user-friendly operation makes it an excellent choice for lighting professionals looking to enhance their DMX control capabilities.
