You: You are one of the few people who will read this page. Then one will only read in this manual
just what interests them. But please read it nevertheless to learn how to use the information in this manual efficiently.
Different people will use the LUNA 24, but only one person knows all of its possibilities. The other
users only would like to know what is necessary for their requirements.
Therefore this manual is divided into many small sections. Each describes a separate function
of the LUNA 24.
As the responsible person you check out the users’ need and install the corresponding working
method on LUNA 24. Besides the necessary instructions you only provide the user with those chapters (instructions) of
this manual he/she needs to fulfill his/her task. The user will be grateful to you for not burdening him/her with
unnecessary information.
The format: The format of this manual is easy to photocopy.
Reference: The manual is structured in a way that makes it easy to find the required information: there is a list of contents for
each section - so it is also helpful to experienced users.
Important: This short introduction is a good aid to work with LUNA 24. But it doesn’t replace the main manual.
Before you start working with LUNA 24 please read the main manual, especially chapters „Precautions and Safety instructions“
and „Transport and Installation“.
The chapters: This manual is structured as follows:
CHOOSING OPERATING MODES the 4 operating modes and how they are selected/installed
OPERATING MODE 1 the functions of the normal A-B operation with 12 circuits
OPERATING MODE 2 the functions of 1 preset / 12 scene-faders-operation including 12 circuits
OPERATING MODE 3 the functions of 1 preset / crossfader-operation with 24 circuits
OPERATING MODE 4 the functions of 12 scene-fader-operation with 24 circuits
CHASER how to use the chaser - programming and operating
AUDIO-EFFECTS the 5 audio-effects - programming and operating
DMX-PATCH 4 DMX-patches - programming and operating

LUNA 24 CHOOSING OPERATING MODES
LUNA 24 can be operated in 4 different ways for different tasks.
Operating mode 1: 2 Preset With the faders of PRESET A and PRESET B you must first produce two different,
12 circuits A- B - Operation independent lighting scenes. Then you can mix MASTER A and MASTER B.
Operating mode 2: 1 Preset The PRESET A-faders produce lighting scenes. The PRESET B-faders work as scene 12 circuits
12 Scene Masters masters. Complete lighting scenes can be stored and recalled through them.
Operating mode 3: 1 Preset Use PRESET A to work on channels 1-12; use PRESET B to work on channels 13-24. 24 circuits
Crossfader MASTER B is the „crossfader“ to mix stored lighting scenes.
Operating mode 4: 12 Scene Masters Faders of PRESET A can be used alternatively for circuit 1-12 or 13-24. Faders of
24 circuits PRESET B work as scene masters. 24-Circuit scenes can be stored and recalled.

Overall lighting: The GRAND MASTER is regulating the overall lighting of the performance.
PRESET- fader: Two scenes (A and B) can be produced and crossfaded.
Each scene can control 12 independent light spot circuits.
While one scene is on output the other can be prepared with the 12 faders of PRESET A or
PRESET B.
MASTER- fader: Fade in or out the chosen scene with MASTER A and MASTER B.
(Depending on setting MASTER B might be inverted.)
OUTPUT- LEDs: OUTPUT-LEDs illuminate according to the channel settings.
FADE TIME: The FADE TIME-fader influences the MASTER A- and MASTER B-faders.
It is slowing down the fading regarding the chosen time.
The display is showing vertically above the MASTER B-fader the process of
