Hello everyone!
Please, forgive my newb-ness-- I have skulled about for many months now and many of the CB threads have saved my butt many-a-time, but now I have a specific question that I hope you can answer!
Okay, so my theatre company is moving into a venue with NO lighting, so the owner was so good as to order us a small lighting package for us to utilize. However, he has made me responsible for the installation. This makes me nervous, as while I can design pretty, pretty light shows, I don't understand the widardry that is wiring circuits to dimmers and such things.
Don't worry, in the interest of public saftey, the wonderful electricians we are working with are going to...do the thing where they make it so there are plugs and those plugs go to the dimmer racks which plug into the light board. I'm sure there is a word for that.
However, they have asked me to send them the "Tech specs" for wiring the dimmers so they know what to install and plan for, and I don't know where to find those.
We are using these dimmers :
SLD Lighting.com - DP420
and the only specs they provide are:
4 Channel, 600 Watt DMX Dimmer

The DP420 is an economical 4 x 600 watt DMX512 dimmer pack capable of remote control or stand alone operation via built in programs. It is compatible with the following dimming consoles:

Thank you all so much!!
