South Gym Equipment Reference

Detailed specifications for all equipment, collected for future reference and design evaluation. See individual plan documents for how each piece fits into the system.

Peavey Pro-LITE 5.0 (x3)

• Role: Power amplifiers
• Topology: Class D, dual channel
• Rack height: 2U
• Dimensions: 3.5“ x 19“ x 17.25“ behind front panel + 0.6“ for handle (17.85“ total depth)
• Construction: 0.062“ thick aluminum
• Weight: 6.2 kg / 13.6 lb (net, without power cord)
• Cooling: 3 temperature-dependent variable-speed fans

Power output

(At 1% THD, both channels driven at 1 kHz)

Power consumption

I/O

• Inputs: 2x combo XLR/1/4“ (20kΩ balanced, 10kΩ unbalanced)
• Input modes: Selectable as parallel, stereo, or bridged
• Input function: Selectable as full-range, sub, or through
• Line-level through outputs: 2x 1/4“ jacks providing paralleled output signals for patching to other amplifier channels (available on the two higher-powered models including the 5.0)
• Speaker outputs: 2x Speakon (discrete channel A and B)

Front panel

• Attenuation controls per channel
• LED indicators: active, DC fault, temperature, signal presence, ACL (Automatic Clip Limiting)

Notes

• Channels are NOT bridgeable on the 5.0 (bridging only available on the two lower-wattage models)
• The line-level through outputs allow daisy-chaining between amps that share the same signal, avoiding the need to split at the BLU-100 output. With three amps serving different roles (ceiling speakers, subwoofers, floor monitors), each amp likely needs its own BLU-100 output pair — through outputs are useful if any two amps share a feed
• Input parallel mode can drive both channels from a single input
• Input function “sub” mode could allow one amp to handle subs while another handles full-range

Middle Atlantic PDS-1620R-NS (available, TBD if used)

• Role: Rack-mount power sequencer
• Status: Existing unit available; not yet assigned a role in the South Gym plan
• Rack height: 1U
• Dimensions: 19“ W x 1.75“ H x 4.5“ D
• Weight: 7.5 lbs (3.4 kg)

Outlets

Electrical

• Input: 20A, 120 VAC; NEMA 5-20P plug on 9 ft cord (14 AWG SignalSafe shielded)
• Protection: 2-stage surge suppression, EMI/RFI filtering
• Sequencing: 3-step local sequencing (not network-controlled). Power-on delays protect downstream equipment; no AMX integration.

Mounting

Multi-mount: standard 1U horizontal rack, or vertical (rack ears rotate 90°).

Comparison with RLNK-915R

The RLNK provides AMX-controlled per-outlet switching (essential for preset-driven power sequencing). The PDS provides more outlets with built-in surge protection and local sequencing, but no remote control. They could be used together — e.g., RLNK for AMX-controlled devices, PDS for always-on or locally-sequenced loads.

RF

Audio Outputs

• Frequency response: 50 Hz - 18 kHz
• S/N ratio: >105 dB (A-weighted)
• THD: <0.5% at 1 kHz

Audio Level Notes

The outputs are line level, not mic level. Even the lowest setting (-6 dBV balanced) is well above mic level. Downstream devices (BLU-100, DL16, splitters) must accept line-level inputs. This resolves the open question in audio.md about receiver output level – passive mic splitters designed for mic-level signals are not suitable. Use line-level splitting (active buffer, or simply patch the XLR outputs to the appropriate line-level inputs on the BLU-100 and DL16).

Compatible Transmitters

• Channels: 12 per unit (24 total)
• Power per channel: 1200W
• Mount: Wall-mount
• Control: DMX512 (via ETC Paradigm ACP)
• Dimming type: Forward-phase (leading-edge)
• Location: One currently in kitchen (to be relocated), one available. Both to be mounted together.

ETC Paradigm ACP

• Role: Lighting controller for both gymnasium (0-10V) and event (DMX512) layers
• Model: Paradigm Architectural Control Processor (Mk1 or Mk2 – see generation notes below)
• Mount: TBD – either ERn wall-mount control enclosure or DIN rail enclosure (see enclosure options below)
• Dimensions: Processor module is a single-width card (enclosure-mount) or compact DIN rail unit (P-ACP-D)
• Power: ERn: powered from enclosure bus (own AC input). DIN rail P-ACP-D: external 24V DC PSU.

Generation Notes

Either generation supports the South Gym’s requirements (PSAP, DMX512A output, sACN output for 0-10V via Response Gateway, button stations, NV presets, LightDesigner). The South Gym uses ~24 DMX channels + a handful of 0-10V zones – well under the Mk1’s 1,024-channel limit.

Enclosure compatibility: The Mk1 and Mk2 use different backplane connectors. A Mk1 P-ACP cannot mount in a Mk2-era ERn, and vice versa. If the building has an existing Mk1-era ERn with spare capacity, use a Mk1 P-ACP. If purchasing a new ERn, it ships with Mk2 backplane and requires a Mk2 P-ACP-E. Do not mix generations within a single enclosure. The P-ACP-D (DIN rail) is Mk2 only.

Enclosure Options (TBD)

The Paradigm ACP is not rack-mounted. The enclosure choice is an open question:

Either option works for the South Gym. The DIN rail approach is cheaper but forces Mk2. If reusing an existing Mk1 ACP from facility inventory, the ERn is required.

Outputs

RS-232 Protocol (PSAP – Paradigm Station Access Protocol)

• Format: CR-terminated ASCII commands (0x0d).
• Protocol name: PSAP (Paradigm Station Access Protocol)
• Connection: EXB-COM2 port 1 in the South Gym rack

PSAP Command Reference

Full PSAP command syntax and parameters are documented in the ETC Paradigm configuration manual (see Reference Documents below).

AMX Integration Notes

• Preset-based control: AMX recalls Paradigm presets via PSAP. Each preset can control both 0-10V zones (gymnasium) and DMX channels (event SmartPacks) simultaneously.
• Zone override: After recalling a preset, AMX can override individual zones via PSAP for fine-tuning (e.g., adjusting a single dimming zone without changing the full preset).
• Poll-based watchdog: The Paradigm does not have a built-in heartbeat like the DFD 2322DMX. AMX must periodically send PSAP status queries and flag a fault if no response is received.
• Priority system: The Paradigm assigns priority levels to each input source. Button stations are configured at a higher priority than the RS-232 serial input, so physical wall switches always take precedence over AMX commands. When the button station input releases (e.g., an “off” press or timeout), serial control resumes.
• Single serial link: One RS-232 connection on EXB-COM2 port 1 controls both lighting layers – no second serial device or port is needed.

Fallback Behavior

• AMX down: Presets stored in the Paradigm’s non-volatile memory. Gymnasium presets are recalled from button stations (independent of AMX and network). Event presets can be recalled from button stations if configured.
• Power loss: The Paradigm restores its last state from non-volatile memory on power-up. No preset data is lost.
• Alternative: If the Paradigm’s DMX output proves unsuitable for SmartPacks, the DFD 2322DMX can be reinstated as an RS-232-to-DMX bridge on EXB-COM2 port 2, restoring the original two-serial-link architecture.

ETC Response 0-10V Gateway (RSN-LV-R3)

• Role: Converts sACN from the Paradigm ACP to 0-10V control signals for gymnasium fixtures
• Model: RSN-LV-R3 (current production)
• Part number: 4267A1202
• Outputs: 24 channels of 0-10V sink control
• Sink current: 100 mA max per output (sufficient for ~50+ typical LED drivers per channel at <2 mA each)
• Input: sACN (streaming ACN) over Ethernet, or DMX512 (5-pin XLR). Dual-input with configurable precedence.
• Mount: DIN rail (standard 35mm)
• Dimensions: 4.13“ x 9.41“ x 1.22“ (105 x 239 x 31 mm)
• Weight: 1.38 lb (0.62 kg)
• Power: 12-24 VDC via external PSU (ETC PS-DIN24, ~$80)
• Configuration: ETC Concert software over Ethernet, or onboard 4-button interface
• Features: UL 924 listed for emergency luminaires, contact closure input for emergency-level activation, configurable dimming curves per output

Notes

• The gateway is standalone – it does not need a DRd, ERn, or any other ETC enclosure. It mounts on any standard DIN rail.
• Can be mounted near the Paradigm ACP (rack closet) or near the gymnasium fixtures to keep 0-10V cable runs short. Only needs Ethernet and 24V DC power at its location.
• The 0-10V outputs use the sink protocol (ANSI/IES TM-23): the LED driver provides the 10V reference, and the gateway sinks current to dim. This is compatible with virtually all 0-10V LED drivers.
• The R3 revision (Nov 2023) adds per-output electrical isolation, preventing leakage voltage from one driver from affecting others.
• ETC also offers optional DIN rail enclosures (DIN14, DIN28) if a NEMA-rated box is needed.

DFD 2322DMX

Status: alternative/spare – not in the primary signal chain. The Paradigm ACP now drives the SmartPacks directly via its built-in DMX512A output. The 2322DMX is retained as a documented fallback if the Paradigm’s DMX output proves unsuitable. See ETC Paradigm ACP.

• Role: RS-232 to DMX512 bridge (alternative – see status note above)
• Control: ASCII commands via RS-232 from AMX
• Output: DMX512, ESD-protected EIA-485 (LT1785), opto-isolated, bidirectional
• Presets: 20 onboard presets with individual fade times (default 2 seconds per preset)
• DMX connectors: Gold-plated male/female 5-pin XLR (Neutrik D-1 series)
• Dimensions: 8.25“ x 1.7“ x 6.5“
• Weight: 3.3 lb
• Power: 100–120VAC 50/60Hz, 12W (208–240V optional)
• Indicators: Power LED (red), DMX signal LED (green), MIMIC LED (green)
• Address switches: 3-digit thumbwheel for DMX start address / channel of interest
• Note: Must be in transmit mode (M0) for AMX to control lighting. Receive mode (M1) is for recording presets from an external DMX console. Mode is stored in non-volatile memory.

RS-232 Protocol

• Format: Plain ASCII commands terminated with <CR> (0x0d). Case-insensitive. Spaces optional.
• Response: OK on success, Error on failure.
• Connectors: Front panel DB-9M or rear panel 3-pin female XLR (only one active at a time).
• Buffer: 256-byte circular receive buffer.

Command Reference

• Channel lists support + and - for ranges: C 10 – 15 + 25 + 500 @ 255 T 7<CR>
• @ and L are interchangeable for setting levels.
• After a preset is recalled, individual channels can be adjusted live. If any channel is changed, ? P reports preset 0 (modified state).

AMX Integration Notes

• Heartbeat for watchdog: Enable H 1 so the 2322DMX sends . every second. AMX can monitor for this character to detect a dead serial link — this answers the monitoring question raised in control.md and lighting.md.
• Preset recall is the primary AMX command: P ##<CR> with optional fade override. Simple to implement in NetLinx.
• Query support: AMX can poll ? P to confirm which preset is active after a recall.
• No IP option: RS-232 only — requires a serial path from the NX-4200 to the South Gym (see control.md open questions).

Capacity Notes for South Gym

The South Gym requires the NX-4200 to manage the following IP connections (via LAN port through the fiber uplink):

The NX-4200’s 1600 MIPS processor, 1 GB RAM, and 8 GB storage are substantial. Current utilization of the existing facility programming load should be assessed before adding the South Gym modules.

• Protection: Automatic thermal overload cut-out, electric brake to prevent coasting
• Limit switches: Pre-set, adjustable; automatically stop surface in up and down positions
• Roller: Rigid metal

Control

The screen has built-in LVC (Low Voltage Control) – confirmed by the low-voltage cable running to the Decora-style three-position wall switch (up / stop / down). With LVC, the wall switch sends a low-voltage signal to the motor module rather than switching line voltage directly. AMX can trigger raise/lower by closing a dry contact on the LVC input via an EXB-REL8 or IP2CC-P relay.

Available control options for this screen (for reference):

Notes

• The control method determines how AMX interfaces with the screen. If equipped with LVC or Video Projector Interface, AMX can trigger raise/lower via a low-voltage signal or dry contact relay (see EXB-REL8 and IP2CC-P entries). If equipped with an SCB-100, AMX can control via RS-232 or Ethernet (via NET-100). The standard 120V switch requires a relay to automate.
• Extra drop (additional black material above or below the viewing area) is available to lower the picture area beyond the standard 2“ black drop. Maximum total surface height including picture area is 13’.
• All Da-Lite surfaces are GREENGUARD GOLD Certified.
• UL Listed.

Open Questions

• What is the installed drop distance from the case to the bottom of the viewing area? Is there extra drop configured beyond the standard 2“ at top?
