1 Download and Installation
This software has been tested on the following operating systems:
Microsoft Windows XP (32 bit)
Microsoft Windows 7 (32 bit + 64 bit)
Microsoft Windows 8 (32 bit)
In general LSeries Manager should work on all Windows desktop versions up from
Windows XP, but there is no guarantee that it will work properly on not tested operating
systems.
Please do not connect the lamphead via USB to the computer before the LSeries Manager
has been installed!
1. Visit our LSeries download center at http://www.arri.com/l-series/downloads
2. Download the latest LSeries Manager Bundle Version.
(Including the LSeries Manager and the newest firmware version).
3. Start the installation by double-clicking on the installer executable.
(If the download consists of a zip-file, you have to extract the installer before).
The installation requires administrator privileges. If your user profile does not provide
administrator privileges, Windows may ask you for an administrator account login or you
have to start the installation by right-clicking on the installer file and choosing “start as
Administrator”.
Note:
Once the installation is finished, it is recommended to connect a L7 lamphead before you
start the LSeries Manager the first time.
This will finalize the USB driver installation on your system. If this is not done there can be
errors when the LSeries Manager attempts a connection to the lamphead for the first time.

2 Start the LSeries Manager
The LSeries Manager can be started by double-clicking on the created desktop short cut (or
the usual start methods).
The LSeries Manager detects lampheads connected via USB to the computer
automatically. Multiple lampheads can be connected simultaneously by utilizing additional
USB ports.
Each connected lamphead will be added to the tree list on the left side of the program
window. Here you can navigate through the different program functions.
Note:
While the LSeries Manager application is communicating with the lamphead it is
recommended (but not mandatory, except while performing a firmware update)
• not to change any settings via the onboard control panel of the lamphead (to avoid
inconsistencies)
• and that no DMX or RDM communication takes place with the lamphead (which
could lead to communication errors in rare cases)
at the same time.
