The VMM-D3 is a three-channel shutter driver capable of controlling up to three Vincent shutters independently. The compact design puts three individual shutter drivers in a single streamlined system. Active high-level logic inputs allow independent shutter control. One single input will activate all channels simultaneously. Active low-level logic outputs are available to monitor the status of each individual synchronization system output. One single output is available to monitor when all shutter synchronization system circuits are active. An addressable RS-232C serial input is also available to control these inputs via a computer serial port. By selecting the proper address for each unit, up to 8 devices can be controlled from one serial port. In this way, 24 individual shutters can be controlled from one computer COM port!

Front Panel
Simple and straightforward controls allow the VMM-D3 to be easy to use andconfigure. LED indicators reveal each shutter’s status at a glance. Three fuse holders with .6A slow blow fuses, accessible at the front panel for ease or replacement. N.O./N.C. switches allow manual shutter operation. Addressable RS-232C control is available via the DB-9 connector. Address selected by SW1.
Rear Panel
All main input/output functions can be accessed at the VMM-D3 rear panel, including the 115/230VAC input. Manual switching as required. Additionally, (2) 6-pin pluggable terminal strips allow for easy termination to input (active high) and output (active low) signals. Channel #4 is not operational.
