Applications; Setting Into Operation - IMG STAGELINE LED-8C Mode D'emploi

G
Do not set the control panel into operation, and
immediately disconnect the power supply unit from
the mains socket if
1. there is visible damage to one of the units,
2. a defect might have occurred after a drop or simi-
lar accident,
3. malfunctions occur.
The units must in any case be repaired by skilled
personnel.
G
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth, never use
water or chemicals.
G
No guarantee claims for the units and no liability for
any resulting personal damage or material damage
will be accepted if the units are used for other pur-
poses than originally intended, if they are not cor-
rectly connected or operated, or not repaired in an
expert way.
If the units are to be put out of operation de-
finitively, take them to a local recycling plant
for a disposal which is not harmful to the envi-
ronment.

3 Applications

The control panel LED-8C serves for easy and con-
venient operation of the DMX interface CPL-3DMX, of
LED spotlights and LED panels equipped with four
control channels:
Channel 1: red
Channel 2: green
Channel 3: blue
Channel 4: dimmer, stroboscope
The following units from the product range of "img
Stage Line" are suitable, e. g.:
CPL-3DMX
LED-200DX / RGB
LED-500DX / RGB
PARL-1DMX
PARL-4SET
PARL-30SPOT
PARL-30WASH
PARL-56PDX /...
PARL-64PDX /...
RGBL-30DMX

4 Setting into Operation

1) Adjust the start address of the LED spotlights, LED
panels or other compatible units to 1 or a multiple of
4 + 1 (5, 9, 13, ... 61 max.) [
the unit].
2) Connect the XLR jack DMX OUTPUT (13) to the
DMX signal input of the (first) unit. (The XLR jack
has a latching. To pull out the plug, press the PUSH
lever.)
For connection, a special cable for high data flow
should be used. Microphone cables of standard
screening with a minimum cable cross section of
2 × 0.22 mm 2 and 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
recommended to insert a DMX level matching
amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from "img Stage Line").
3) For operation of several units by the control panel,
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 are con-
nected in one chain.
4) Especially for long connection cables it is recom-
mended to terminate the DMX output of the last unit
in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W), even if
only one unit has been connected: Connect a cor-
responding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123 from
"img Stage Line") to the DMX output jack.
5) Connect the supplied power supply unit to the jack
DC INPUT (12) and the power supply unit to a
mains socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).
6) Switch on the control panel with the POWER switch
(11). The red LED above the button BLACKOUT
(10) lights up: the units connected are turned off
( chapter 4.2).
The red LED above the button HOLD COLOURS
(2) and the yellow LED above the button WHITE /
RANDOM (1) light up: the fixed colour mode is acti-
vated and the colour WHITE is selected (
ter 4.3).
7) After operation switch off the control panel with the
POWER switch (11). If it is not used for a longer
period of time, disconnect the power supply unit
from the mains socket because it has a low current
consumption even if the control panel is switched
off.
