5 EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual
1. Introduction
This user’s manual is designed to give you an overview of all the controls, sothat
you get to know all possible applications the LC2412 oers. Generalsafety
instructions are followed by a struc tured overview of the control panel.
Afterwards, all functions of your LC2412 are described in detail.
Future-minded BEHRINGER technology
To allow for the highest possible level of operational safety, we manufacture our
equipment under the highest quality standards in the industry.
Your LC2412 has been manufactured under ISO9000 certied
managementsystem.
◊ The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize you with the
unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions.
After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it at a safe place
for future reference.
1.1 Before you get started
1.1.1 Shipment
The LC2412 was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport.
Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken
place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications
ofdamage.
◊ Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the
dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the
transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit.
Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.
1.1.2 Initial operation
Please make sure the unit is provided with sucient ventilation, and never place
the EUROLIGHT on top of an amplier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk
of overheating.
◊ Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you
have selected the correct voltage:
The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular
markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated
adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up,
and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION: This
does not apply to export models that were for example manufactured
only for use with 120 V!
1.1.3 Warranty
Please take a few minutes and send us the completely lled out warranty
card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at
behringer.com. The serial number needed for the registration is located at the top
of the unit. Failure to register your product may void future warranty claims.
1.2 The user’s manual
The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls,
aswell as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you
understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups
according to their function. If you need to know more about specic issues,
please visit our website at http://behringer.com.
1.3 General features and functions
“LC2412” means: 24 preset channels and 12 memory channels. But that’s hardly
all: You can simultaneously control 78 dimmer channels via the DMX512 digital
interface (26 console channels x 3 DMX channels). And because several light units
can be operated on a single dimmer channel, this console gives you a plethora of
mixing possibilities.
Comparable to a mixing console in a recording studio, a light mixing console is a
switching central for stage lighting. Therefore, a light mixing console has to be
absolutely reliable and under no circumstances leave you stranded. We created
our LC2412 using the most modern components in order to guarantee you the
maximum reliability possible.
But without func tionality, no amount of reliability is of use to you. That’s why
we integrated a tremendeous number of func-tions in an extremely compact
unit. You have always full control of the light conditions, regardless whether you
run the light show at a live concert, a club or on a stage. To enable you complete
control over the current setup, the EUROLIGHT LC2412 has an intuitive design
structure and features a large number of LEDs and a large LCD display.
A light mixing console is basically a controlling unit that comprises a full system
once it is integrated with a power source and light elements.
Two dierent standards have established themselves in the eld of light control
(analog controlling with 0 to +10 V and digital controlling via the DMX512 control
protocol). Your LC2412 is compatible with both. The extent of controlling your
lighting situation can range from simply fading lights in and out, all the way to
conguring and programming entire light shows. You can manually control the
speed at which a program runs, enter the desired speed into a preset for each
step, or let it be automatically determined by an internal beat generator. Onthe
other hand, you can control this beat generator by using a fader, or let your
musical program directly determine the beat for the lighting setup.
◊ If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly.
The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter
“Specifications”.
◊ Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without
exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the
chapter “Specifications”.
Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All requiered safety
precautions have been adhered to.
◊ Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own
protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or
the unit itself.
Presets
Complex lighting situations can be set up using single faders (each controlling up
to 24 channels, whereby up to 72 single dimmers can be controlled). You can light
up individual channels at full blast independently from their fader position using
the FLASH keys.
Memories
Presets can be stored into ten separate preset banks (with twelve memory slots
each), and can also be individually recalled. All memories can be archived by
using separate PCMCIA memory cards.
6 EUROLIGHT LC2412 User Manual
Chases
The expression “Chases” refers to situations in which individually programmed
light steps (up to 99 steps) are executed in succession (the lights “chase” each
other). These steps can be both individual presets as well as memories.
You can create extremely complex chases. For example, parameters such as
fade-in speed of a step, chase sequence speed and their control via the built-in
beat generator or music can all be programmed.
Crossfade
There are several ways to alternate between various stored or newly developed
lighting situations. Conversely, you can also alternate back and forth between
individual steps of a single chase manually or automatically.
Preview
With this function, you can preview stored memories or chases without these
being visible on the stage. This way, you can discretely control the next step
before letting it be seen on the stage.
Sound to light
This function is more widely known as “party light”. It basically means that your
music drives the light show. An incomming music signal is broken down into
three frequenc y ranges (bass, mids and highs), each of which is assigned to a
(memory) channel. Depending on the volume of the respective signal segments,
the lights assigned to them will shine accordingly. You can even program a setup
for song pauses.
MIDI
The LC2412 can be controlled via MIDI. Two EUROLIGHT LC2412s can be operated
as master and slave by using the MIDI interface. Entire shows can be stored and
recalled by means of a MIDI sequencer.
2. Control Elements
The control panel of your LC2412 is divided into various areas with dierent
functions. The way the controls on the LC2412 were designed makes using the
unit and capturing current settings a breeze. The control elements are described
on the following pages according to the functions they play. If parts of the unit
are shown in light grey in an illustration, that means that these controls belong
to another section (described elsewhere in the manual).
All control elements and function keys are provided with control lights to enable
you full oversight of the setup/functions currently selected.
The sections: (1) A PRESET section, (2) B MEMORY-section + bank
display, (3) sound to light, (4) FLASH keys, (5) programming section,
(6) MAIN section, (7) CHASE section.
The LC2412 also has additional functions that cannot be assigned to a particular
section (special channels):
(8) SPECIAL 1 key. Used to activate a special channel, for example for turning a
fog machine on/o.
(9) SPECIAL 2 key. The same function as SPECIAL 1 key. Just like in the case of
other channels, three DMX channels can be assigned to these two channels
(i.e. to SPECIAL 1/2). Both special channels are then labeled as channels
25and 26 on the console. SPECIAL 1 and SPECIAL 2 keys can be programmed
as switches, keys or kill keys. Additional information on this subject can be
found in chapter 7.3.
(10) POWER switch. Used to power up the EUROLIGHT LC2412. The POWER
switch should always be in the “O” position when you connect the unit to
themains.
◊ Please take note: Merely switching the unit of f does not mean that
it is fully disconnected from the mains. When not using the unit for
prolonged periods of time, please unplug the unit ’s power cord from
the power outlet.
DM X512
The DMX digital protocol lets you exibly assign 78 of the 512 digital channels to
individual light console channels (softpatch).
Memory card
The EUROLIGHT LC2412 oers you access to 120 storable lighting setups
(memories) that can easily be altered. A virtually unlimited archive of lighting
setups can be created by using the interchangeable memory cards on which
these setups are stored. The sky is the limit when you put your creativity to the
test with the 99 programmable chases, each consisting of 99 single steps.
(11) The BNC connector is used for connecting a gooseneck lamp (optional).

(33) UPPER switch. When you press this switch, the A PRESET section is switched
to the twelve additional channels. After that, you can set up the intensity of
channels 13 - 24. See also chapter 3.2.
Setting up presets
Channel faders are used for setting up a preset that can be directly recalled by
moving fader A (41). As in all other setups, the MAIN fader (43) (see chapter 2.6)
determines the maximum illumination level of selected light sources.
2.2 Control elements of the B MEMORY
section( 2 )
The faders of the B MEMORY section are located in the block underneath the
APRESET section.
(13) These faders control the illumination level of an entire group of channels
in a ratio to one another that you previously determined by set ting up the
APRESET faders and saving this setting as a memory.

(22) (23)
Exception: When the LC2412 is in preset mode (“P” shown in the bank display),
the faders control the same channels as the faders of the A PRESET section.
Thisway, you can simul-taneously create a second preset.
(14) – (17) These faders are also a part of this section, but they have a double
function. When the LC2412 is in sound to light mode (party light function),
they control the illumination level of individual memories assigned to
particular frequency ranges.
(18) The BANK display shows the storage bank to which the memories you recall
belong. It also shows if the LC2412 is currently in preset mode (“P” diplayed).
The display starts ashing when you switch into preset mode, and lights
up constantly after three seconds. The preset mode is active only after the
ashing has stopped. This prevents accidental activation of the preset mode
as well as rough fades.
(19) UP/DOWN keys. Use them to selec t a preset bank (0 - 9) or switch into
preset mode (P). The control lights ash when you select a new bank while
memories from the previous bank are still active (the fader(s) is(are) pulled
up). Pull the fader(s) ((13), (14) - (17)) down to fade the memory out. When you
pull the fader(s) up again, the memory of the new preset bank is visible on
the stage (also see chapter 4.1.2).
(20) SOUND TO LIGHT key. See chapter 2.3.
(21) PREVIEW key. It gives you the option to preview (or modify) stored
memories one more time before implementing them on the stage. Thisis
particularly useful when you saved chases as memories and wish to
double-check and/or modify their speed before integrating them into a
running show. When “preview” is activated, the chases are shown on control
LEDsexclusively.
Each fader is assigned to a FLASH key (section (4) ). This key is used to assign a
specic bank position to individual presets while programming a memory.
2.3 Control elements of the Sound-to-light
section ( 3 )
The SOUND-TO-LIGHT controls are located in the right-hand sec tion of the
BMEMORY section.
If the sound-to-light function is ac tive, memories 9 - 12 are controlled by a music
signal, whereby the volume of the signal dictates the illumination level of the
memories. The music signal is divided into three frequency ranges (bass,mids,
higs). One memory slot is assigned to each of the three frequency ranges.
Foroptimal results, please put the faders to the middle position. This will let you
bring individual settings of memories into sync with one another, should the
levels vary from memory to memory.
(14) The PAUSE fader is, just like the fader (13), used primarily to control the
illumination level of memories. If the sound-to-light function is active,
itcontrols a memory slot assigned to run during program breaks between
two musical pieces.
(15) The BASS fader takes over the basic conguration of the illumination levels
for the memory slot assigned to the bass por tion of the frequency range.
(16) The MID fader is conversely assigned to the mids.
(17) The TREBLE fader is conversely assigned to the highs.
(18) and (19): Bank display and UP/DOWN keys, see chapter 2.2.
(20) The SOUND-TO-LIGHT key activates the sound-to-light funtion.
The music signal necessary for controlling the show can be fed into the
ANALOGINPUT connector located at the rear of the LC2412.
2.4 Section ( 4 ) : FLASH keys and SOLO
Fig. 2.5: The FL ASH keys
(22) FLASH keys. Pressing one of the FLASH keys sets the respective channel to
the maximum illumination level set on the MAIN fader, independent from
its own fader position. For this purpose, the CH FLASH key has to be pressed.
The channel ash function is automatically activated in preset mode.
(23) Dual-function FLASH keys. Memories or chases can be stored to memory
positions 9 - 12 (chase to memory). When a respective storage bank is
selected, chases are indicated with yellow LEDs. Chases can also be recalled
by using the Flash keys.
Solo
When the solo function is simultaneously active (SOLO key (31), LED lit), all other
emitters or light elements are deactivated. Only the channel selected via the
Flash key is still active.
2.4.1 Disabling the solo function
You have the option to exclude specic channels from the solo function, so that
these channels remain active even when “Solo” is activated.
Disabling solo is achieved by performing the folloing programming sequence:
Fig. 2.4: The SOUND -TO-LIGHT sect ion
(18)
(19)
(20)
1. Press UTILITY 1 (28) .
2. Select the option DISABLE SOLO by using the SOFT A key (38) located below
the display. The channel for which the solo function should be disabled
or enabled is shown in the top lef t section of the display. The respective
disabled/enabled status of the said channel is indicated to the right of the
channel number itself.
3. To select the channel you wish to adjust, turn the DATA wheel (36).
Thedesired channel can also be selected by using the Flash key
(for channels 13 - 24: rst press the UPPER key).
4. SOFT B (39) selects “DISABLE” and thus disables the solo function for this
channel; SOFT A selects “ENABLE”.
5. To exit this procedure, press the QUIT key (40), thus conrming the procedure.
◊ When you disable the solo function for a particular channel,
the channel remains active in case when it is part of an activated
memory that fades after pressing one of the FLASH keys.
