6.2 Interconnecting several LED-500DX / WS units
Several LED-500DX/WS units may be interconnected
in order to control all slave units in sync with the mas-
ter unit.
1) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (17) of the master unit
via a 3-pole XLR cable (e. g. series MEC-... or
MECN-... from the product range of "img Stage
Line") to the DMX INPUT (18) of the first slave unit.
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT of the first slave unit to
the DMX INPUT of the second slave unit, etc. until
all units have been connected in a chain.
3) Set the slave units to one of the SLAVE modes
( chapter 5.1). Once the control signals from the
master unit are applied to the slave units, the red
LED SLAVE (13) will light up on the slave units.
6.3 Remote control LC-3
The remote control LC-3 available as an accessory
allows to control various functions.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack ONLY FOR
REMOTE CONTROL (16).
2) There must be no DMX signal at the DMX INPUT (18).
3) Via the DMX OUTPUT (17), further LED-500DX/WS
units may be connected (
control them together with the master unit via the
remote control.
4) With the button STAND BY (19), the LEDs of the
stroboscope can be switched on or off. When the
LEDs are switched off, the LED next to the button
STAND BY will light up as a check.
5) If the display should show
scope mode), switch to
stroboscope mode) with the button MENU (9),
otherwise the button MODE (21) will be locked.
Select the operating mode with the button MODE:
a) When the LED of the button MODE is off, the
music-controlled stroboscope mode will be acti-
vated (indication
keeping the button FUNCTION (20) pressed,
one of the three stroboscope functions can be
activated:
1. permanent stroboscope
2. music-controlled stroboscope in salvos*
3. music-controlled individual flashes*
(also alternately for the slave units when they
are set to the mode SLAVE 2,
*The music control must be activated
( chapter 6.1.1, operating steps 1 to 3).
When the button FUNCTION is kept pressed
again, the next stroboscope function respec-
tively will be activated.
b) When the LED of the button MODE is on, the
dimmer mode will be activated (indication
By keeping the button FUNCTION pressed, the
brightness of the LEDs can be adjusted.

7 Operation via a Light Controller
For operation via a light controller with DMX512 proto-
col (e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB by "img Stage
Line"), the model LED-500DX/WS is equipped with
one DMX control channel. The functions and the DMX
values can be found on page 15.
7.1 Connection
As a DMX interface, the stroboscope is provided with
3-pole XLR jacks of the following pin configuration:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for high data flow
should be used. Standard microphone cables with
screening and a minimum cross section of 2 ×
0.22 mm 2 and with a capacity as low as possible can
only be recommended for a total cable length of up to
100 m. For cable lengths exceeding 150 m it is recom-
mended to insert a DMX level matching amplifier (e. g.
SR-103DMX by "img Stage Line").
1) Connect the DMX INPUT (18) to the DMX output of
the light controller.
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (17) to the DMX input
of the following light effect unit; connect its output
again to the input of the following unit, etc. until all
light effect units have been connected in a chain.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit in
the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Solder the
resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR plug and con-
nect the plug to the DMX output or use a corre-
sponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123 by "img
Stage Line").
7.2 Adjusting the start address
For operating the stroboscope with a light controller,
adjust a DMX address for the DMX channel. If e.g.
address 17 on the controller is provided for controlling
the stroboscope, adjust the start address 17 on the
stroboscope. As the next possible start address for the
following DMX-controlled unit the address 18 could be
used in this example.
1) To adjust the DMX start address, press the button
MENU (9) once so that
play (6). Make sure that the next button is pressed
within 10 seconds, otherwise the adjusting process
will end automatically.
2) Press the button ENTER (11). The address adjust-
ed will be displayed.
3) Adjust the address with the button
memorize with the button ENTER.
4) To deactivate the menu, keep the button MENU
pressed until the start address or the operating mode
selected is displayed again or wait for approx. 10 s.
5) Once control signals from the DMX controller are
). received, the red LED DMX (7) will light up and the
start address will be displayed. It will now be possible
to operate the stroboscope with the DMX controller.
