IMG STAGELINE LC-8DMX Mode D'emploi page 7

push the latching towards the cover and open
the cover . Remove the connection plate and
push its contacts into the battery connections
so that the battery connections snap in . Place
the battery into the compartment and close
the cover .
Used batteries must not be placed
in the household waste; always
take them to a special waste dis-
posal, e . g . collection container at
your retailer .
3) Connect the XLR jack DMX OUT (4) to the
input of the (first) unit to be controlled (for
later removal of the plug from the jack, press
the PUSH lever) . For connection, special ca-
bles are recommended (e . g . cables of the
CDMXN series) . For cable lengths exceeding
150 m, it is recommended to insert a DMX
level matching amplifier (e . g . SR-103DMX) .
To control several units via the LC-8DMX,
connect the DMX output of the first unit to
the DMX input of the next unit; connect its
output again to the input of the following
unit, etc . until all units have been connected
in a chain . Especially for long connection
cables it is recommended to connect a termi-
nating plug (e . g . DLT-123) to the output jack
of the last unit .
4 Operation
1) Switch on the controller with the POWER
switch (2) . The POWER LED (5) will light up .
2) For basic setting, first set the control MASTER
(7) to maximum .
3) Use a small screwdriver to adjust the DMX
address for the control 1 at the rotary
switches (3):
Switch "100" = hundreds digit,
"10" = tens digit, "1" = units digit .
Example for address 123:
"100" = position 1, "10" = 2, "1" = 3
The controls 2 – 8 are automatically assigned
to the following addresses .
Note: As it is possible to adjust any desired address
(1 – 505), the LC-8DMX allows to test a unit in a
lighting system without changing its start address .
For any address lower than the one adjusted, the
controller will issue the value zero .
4) When sliding down the control MASTER (7),
it will be possible to reduce the DMX values
adjusted with the sliding controls 1 – 8 (6) all
at once . This allows e . g . for dimming func-
tions to dim the units connected at the same
time, but for other functions this may lead to
unexpected effects .
5) After operation, switch off the unit with the
POWER switch . If the controller is not in use
for a longer period of time, disconnect the
power supply unit from the mains socket;
even with the controller switched off, the
power supply unit will have a low power
consumption . If a battery has been inserted,
remove it to prevent damage to the unit in
case of battery leakage .
