Presidor™ Wall Stations (PWS)

DMX Snapshot: Multi-Zone Controls and Streaming DMX Controls

Presidor™ Wall Stations (PWS) represent the next step in Architainment Lighting Controls. Intuitive operation is coupled with state-of-the-art capacitive touch technology permitting powerful distributed lighting controls for single or multi-room environments. Attractive 1 gang "Patent Protected" design is supported by color-matched adapter plates up to 7 gang and surface mount back boxes. Up to 70 presets on one universe of DMX512, a PWS can operate as either a DMX console or a DMX snapshot/playback device. Flexible and programmable auxiliary contact input and real-time scheduling allow for a myriad of interface possibilities with Building Management and Show Control systems. Wiring topology is fast, simple and inexpensive with standard Cat5/5e or Cat6 cabling using standard RJ-45 connectors. Daisy-chain up to 15 stations per room for multi-room environments of up to 25 rooms when used with Presidor™ Room Linker/Combiners (PRLC).

Presidor™ Wall Stations (PWS)

Analog Wiring Models

Johnson Systems specifically developed a version of Presidor™ Wall Stations that could easily retrofit into older "Heritage Buildings" with wide range of analog wiring without the need to run modern CAT5 or similar wiring to achieve a digital control station upgrade. Our unique inter-station communication — we refer to as Unipolor Bi-Direction Protocol (UBD) — allows quick retrofit wherever 3 conductors (daisy-chain) or 4 conductors (star) exist. This protocol operates on a single wire of virtually any type and allows for digital communication between the room "Main" PWS station and connected "Secondary" stations up to 12 stations per room. It is necessary to operate this model of station at a higher voltage between 24VDC & 48VDC. A Main/Master station will output up to 512 channels of DMX. Presets are limited to 20 compared with the standard 70 preset capability of the PWS-70P-DMX (previous page) in order to maintain function and noise immunity at the lower baud rate of this unique protocol. Minimum 4 wires required. Maximum distance between stations dependent on wiring type and gauge. Recommend power supply is model #PS-DIN-24, available in the PWS-KITs or stand alone.
