VHI DP-810 dimmer pack

[BillConnerFASTC]

Looking at fuse and power chord, probably 1800 watts total, and maybe 600 per channel. The 810 is marketing hoodoo - fool you.

As is your power CHORD Vs. Their line cord.

@Amiers (While we're veering down the roads of ludicrous tangents) Those "power chords" often spew "harmonics".
Toodleoo!

Found this on an old Liteputer console spec sheet. 8-pin DIN like the one in the photos, but you'll probably need to open the unit up and at least see if the wires are on the same pins as the one shown. On your dimmer, a nine-volt battery can take the place of a console for testing purposes.

I only paid $10 for the dimmer pack with the hope that is was just DMX 512 with some sort of proprietary physical connector that I could build and adapter cable for and use it with my DMX controller. Considering an A to D converter exceeds the cost of a new DMX dimmer pack I'm thinking of using the case, outlets, fusing, etc with a $25 four channel DMX relay board like this. It wouldn't be a dimmer, just on/off but still useful.

When you do build this take pictures and update us. We would all love to see what you come up with.

@DMX Nubie WHY, to increase your DMX switch ratings to 10 amps per output, 15 or 20 amps maximum for all four outputs???

No, not to increase rating. Rather than send it to the landfill I thought I could reuse it for the case, outlets, cord, and anything else I can re-purpose.
