Transform your lighting setup with the PowerGate Arma, a waterproof HomePlug Powerline-to-DMX converter built for unmatched reliability, versatility, and efficiency. Whether for indoor or outdoor installations, this device bridges the gap between powerlines and sophisticated lighting networks, providing seamless control for a wide range of professional and residential applications. Its robust design ensures consistent performance even in demanding environments, making it a cornerstone for any modern lighting system.
The PowerGate Arma excels in protocol compatibility, supporting an extensive array of communication standards including PWRDMX, ArtNet (1 through 4), sACN (draft and release versions), KiNet (v1 and v2), RDM (ANSI E1.20), and the real-time transport protocol RTTrPL. This comprehensive support allows the device to integrate effortlessly into virtually any lighting configuration. Signals can be transmitted reliably over power lines up to 400 meters or via Ethernet, ensuring flexibility for complex or distributed installations.
Power and connectivity are equally impressive. The device draws power directly from a 100–250 V AC power line, accommodating voltages up to 305 V for diverse electrical environments. Its single 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port enables additional devices to connect, facilitating the creation of unified lighting and control networks. Galvanic isolation on the DMX ports prevents electrical interference, while multiple merging options, including HTP, LTP, AUTO, and PRIORITY, allow for precise control over combined data streams.
Setup and configuration are simple and intuitive. Users can adjust settings and optimize performance through the web interface, the ArtGate configuration utility, ARISTO software, or any compatible third-party software supporting ArtNet. Fixed IP address support and a reliable backup function for configuration profiles make access and restoration effortless. Indicators provide clear LED feedback for DMX streams, further simplifying system monitoring.
Engineered for durability, the PowerGate Arma features a metal, dust- and moisture-resistant housing rated IP65, ensuring protection against harsh weather conditions and environmental factors. Its fanless cooling design eliminates the need for vents, maintaining the integrity of the enclosure while allowing operation in temperatures ranging from -40 °C to +70 °C, with storage capability from -50 °C to +80 °C and 100% relative humidity. Installation is flexible, accommodating flat surfaces or clamp mounting, and the compact design measures 199 mm in length, 55.5 mm in height, and 149 mm in width, with a weight of 0.85 kg.
From a power perspective, the PowerGate Arma consumes a maximum of 5 W and includes a 0.1 A fuse for safety. Its connectivity extends to DMX512 and RDM protocols, ArtNet I–IV, sACN, KiNet, PWRDMX, and RTTrPL, with a refresh rate of 44 Hz and support for eight SPI channels. DMX ports are available in one or four configurations, using reliable terminal block connectors, while the Ethernet port utilizes KRONE 6048 connections.
Certified CE compliant and RoHS, the PowerGate Arma comes with a 36-month warranty, giving peace of mind for professional applications. Its combination of rugged construction, versatile protocol support, straightforward configuration, and robust environmental protection makes it an indispensable tool for transforming lighting control systems. With its reliable performance and adaptability, the PowerGate Arma is the ultimate solution for creating connected, responsive, and efficient lighting networks.
