Foreword

Thank you very much for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing the Licon 1X. The Licon 1X allows you to control both intelligent light that is presently on the market and up to 96 channels for conventional light (DMX-controlled dimmers). The Licon 1X comes with a clearly structured operation design. This user manual will help you to become easily familiarised with the mode of operation of the Licon 1X. All working steps are described in detail in the user manual, which will allow unexperienced users to work with the lighting controle console as well. If you have already gained experience with similar lighting control consoles, however, please have a look at our abbreviated version that will describe only the most important functions of the Licon 1X.

Enjoy working with your new lighting control console!

Your JB-lighting team

General remarks

The Licon 1X by JB-lighting was designed to facilitate and accelerate the control of intelligent fixtures as well as conventional DMX dimmer channels.

The Licon 1X is capable of controlling up to 32 fixtures with a maximum of 25 control channels and 7 fixed-value channels.

 In addition, you have access to 96 conventional DMX channels.  You can control the fixtures by direct selection of the individual fixtures and the corresponding

parameters. The keys on the console are labelled so that even untrained operators will always find the various functions of the Licon 1X.

 Since sequences and chases can be created with the help of presets in the Licon 1X, simple a nd

effective programming becomes possible.

 Moreover, the console comes with a chase generator that allows creation of chases on the basis

of presets. In this way, you can realise effectful sequences in a matter of seconds.

 Even during a show, you will have access to individual fixtures or fixture groups and their

parameters as well as to the runtimes of chases.

 The desk can be synchronised by external signal input such as MIDI, SMPTE or may be run

music-animated. It is possible to link several desks in order to multiply the number of control channels.

 The Licon 1X is equipped with a DMX-In interface for insertion of a DMX desk/console.  The integrated CD-Rom drive allows you to programme shows with commercially available or

self-recorded CDs. The shows will run music-synchronised and do not require additional devices such as a timecode clock.

 4 AUX controllers are available in order to control additonal DMX devices such as fog machines.  Data are stored on USB memory sticks or 3.5“ floppy-disks.

The software of the Licon 1X is upgraded via PC. The latest software version is available for download on the Service section of our homepage at www.JB-lighting.de.

1. First steps

1.1 Scope of delivery and installation

Lighting control console Connecting cable User manual USB-cable

Optional accessory: Desklamps

Flightcase Dustcover Trackball

Please check whether delivery is complete Ensure that the voltage complies with the power unit settings and plug in the power unit. The factory

setting of the console is 230 V. After plugging in the controller, the LED of the ON/OFF key is lit. If this is not the case, throw master switch of the power unit and activate the control console by pressing the ON/OFF key.

1.2 Changing the input voltage

The input voltage of the Licon 1X is adjusted with a slider situated beneath the mains plug. You can choose between 230 V and 115 V. Set the required voltage with a suitable tool (e.g. screwdriver) before you plug in the console. Move the red slider located between the mains socket and the mains plug to the right (115 V) until it locks, or move it to the left (230 V) until it locks. If no red slider is present on the power supply unit of the lighting control console, please contact our service team before you carry out the voltage setting.

1.3 DMX outputs

The Licon 1X has four DMX output sockets. These are 5-pin sockets with the following occupation:

Pin 1  shield Pin 2  data – Pin 3  data + Pin 4  not occupied Pin 5  not occupied

Since DMX boosters are generally required for very long DMX lines (where many devices are connected), the Licon 1X is equipped ex works with a DMX booster. This means that two output sockets are available per DMX line with 512 channels. The output sockets are designated A1 and A2 or B1 and B2, respectively.

2. Configuration (CONFIG)

In order to operate the Licon 1X properly, all devices you wish to have access to must be configure d in the setup first. For this reason, a comprehensive library is made available to you, from which you can copy setups of the most prevalent parameters into the CONFIG menu. Switch the Licon 1X on and press the softkey CONFIG to enter the configuration menu. The following display is shown:

2.1 L-USER / Configuring a fixture

If you will use fixtures, the data of which are not yet stored in the library, you have to configure your fixtures first. Enter the main menu and press the softkey CONFIG and afterwards the softkey L-USER.

The following display is shown:

With the left encoder wheel cou can select up to 20 different L-User fixture parameters. Now consecutively enter data of the fixtures. Activate the corresponding parameters with the softkeys

arranged to the right and left of the display. When the field is displayed inverted, you can enter data with the double-assigned keys of the following sections: CUES, CHASES and SEQUENCES.

JB-lighting Lichtanlagen GmbH Sallersteigweg 15 D-89134 Blaustein Telefon ++49(0)7304 9617-0

- 11 -

Clear the fields with the arrow key first and enter your data.

The individual fields have the following function:

NAME: names the moving light, a maximum of 20 characters is possible. S-NAME: short name shown on the display later, up to 6 characters are possible. TYPE: selects between mirror scan ( Mirror) and moving head ( HEAD). To select type,

press key TYPE until the desired fixture type is shown on the display. This affects only moving patterns.

DMXCH: indicates number and configuration of the DMX channels of the fixture. Per fixture, 25

control channels and 7 fixed-value channels are available. Control cha nnels are standard DMX channels such as pan, tilt, iris, colour, gobo, focus. Fixed-value channels are DMX channels with a fixed DMX value (cannot be changed during programming). If, for example, your fixture has a channel for the parameter lamp on/off, which is a constant value, then this channel is stored under „fixed“ and assigned the corresponding DMX value.

Press one of the softkeys described above and the menu on the left appears on the display. Now assign the individual functions of your fixture to the DMX channels as follows: turn the middle encoder wheel (FUNC) until the desired function appears and then turn the left encoder wheel (DMXCH) to switch to the next DMX channel. The names of the individual functions correspond to the names of the keys in the Feature Selection block, where the parameters will be activated later. The left encoder wheel (DMXCH) can only switch forward by one DMX channel. If this channel is not occupied in the fixture, i.e. is not assigned to a function, you can skip this channel by pressing the the softkey SKIP.

To invert a DMX channel, select the function first and then press the softkey INVERS (this does not apply to pan and tilt movements).

Since the Licon 1X has a separate dimmer and shutter management, you are required to make an additional assignment when you enter the dimmer or shutter channel.

 Fixtures with dimmers and shutters on one channel:

Assign a DMX channel to the shutter, then press the softkeys BRIGHT and BLACKO to assign the dimmer and the s hutter function to the same channel. In the line next to the shutter, the letters B and O will appear in addition on the display.

JB-lighting Lichtanlagen GmbH Sallersteigweg 15 D-89134 Blaustein Telefon ++49(0)7304 9617-0

- 12 -

 Fixtures with separate channels for dimmers and shutters:

Assign a DMX channel to the shutter and then press the softkey BLACKO. In the line next to the shutter, the letter O will appear in addition on the display. Assign a DMX channel to the dimmer and then press the softkey BRIGHT. In the line next to the dimmer, the letter B will appear in addition on the display.

The entry of these parameters will ensure that you can later control the brightness of your moving lights with the fixture faders.

When a fixed-value channel is entered, first of all three times a zero will be shown on the display next to the term „fixed ..“. You can now enter a value with the right encoder wheel (VALUE). This value is fixed and cannot be changed later during programming of shows (e.g. for lamp on/off commands).

INVERS inverts DMX channels. If, for example, the iris of a fixture is built in such a way that it is

open at a DMX value of 0 and closed at 255, you can invert the entire channel with the softkey INVERS. After inversion, the iris is closed at a DMX value of 0 and fully open at

255.

Press the softkey CLEAR to delete the entries shown inverted on the display.  Press the ESC key to leave this menu. P-ANGL enters the maximum deflection angle (pan movement) of the fixture to be configured. Use

the right encoder wheel to enter data. This is an important parameter, if you wish to work with preprogrammed moving patterns later. Wrong or missing data of the P-ANGL will possibly affect circular movements of the fixture.

T-ANGL enters the maximum deflection angle (tilt movement) of the fixture to be configured. Use

the right encoder wheel to enter data. This is an important parameter, if you wish to work with preprogrammed moving patterns later. Wrong or missing data of the T-ANGL will possibly affect circular movements of the fixture.

BLACK-L enters a value between 0 and 255 with the middle encoder wheel. This value determine s

the fader position, at which the blackout will be activated (blackout level). Important: do not select the DMX value 255!!!

 Press the ESC key to leave this menu.

Numbering per page: PARNUM displayed inverted: PAR NUMBERING : SINGLE PAGE

2.11.5 PARMUL / Accessing PAR fader banks

The PARMUL function controls the access to the fader banks, which can be switched four times. PARMUL not displayed inverted:

PAR FADER MODE : SINGLE BANK If on a bank the value of faders is greater than zero, the faders will be switched to another bank not until the operator slides the fader back down to zero, i.e. the corresponding fader can never be used by more than one bank at a time.

PARMUL displayed inverted: PAR FADER MODE : MULTI BANK If on a bank the value of faders is greater than zero, the faders will remain active when the operator switches to another bank. By undershooting the corresponding fader value, the faders can be activated on the bank switched to, and thus be used four times.

2.12.2 Entering the user passwords

After activation of the master password, access is given to the user profiles. They can be activated by means of the middle encoder wheel. You can choose between four user profiles. Select the user profile, for which you want to enter the acess rights.

Example on the left: USER 1 USER 1 is a DJ. He shall have no access to the

configuration and the storage of presets. First enter the user password. Then activate the password by pressing the sofkey STATUS. The fourth line on the left

shows, whether the status is INACTIVE or ACTIVE. Then you can define the individual access rights. For the access to the CONFIG and Preset menu, you can choose between the possibilities full (full access) or denied (access denied). Since a DJ normally does not need to change configurations or presets, enter DENIED. The entry is made with the softkey of the corresponding item on the right side of the display. Thus press the softkey CONFIG, until „denied“ will appear on the display. Enter the access rights for presets as is described for CONFIG. For the access to the store function, you have the choice between the following three access levels: full, denied and limited access. Press the softkey STORE until „limited“ appears on the display. With this limited access your user has the right to store own cues on Page 3 or Bank D (this section is located next to the cues and chase keys). This user has access only to Page 4 in the SEQUENCES section and to faders in the Fixture-/PAR selection.

 Press the ESC key to leave the menu.

2.12.3 Checking passwords

As soon as the Licon 1X is switched on, the password prompt appears on the display (when activated in the access menu). Enter the password and confirm with the softkey OK. The master password gives access to all parameters of the lighting control console. The user passwords 1 – 4 will only activate those parameters that are defined in the ACCESS menu as „full“ or „limited“. If you have forgotten the master password, please contact your local JB-lighting dealer and ask for the main password.

2.12.4 Changing passwords

Passwords are entered and changed in the CONFIG menu. You have access to the CONFIG menu after you have entered the master password or a user password. However, access rights to the CONFIG must previously be given to this user in the ACCESS menu. Change the passwords in the CONFIG menu as described in chapter 2.12.1 and 2.12.2.

3. Programming in the Combi section

The Combi section offers the possibility to store combined cues, chases and seq uences with fixture as well as PAR data. This chapter of the user manual will deal with the Combi section only with regard to fixtures. If you wish to store combined cues, chases and sequences you must store the data of the corresponding PAR channels together with the fixture data on the same key. The Combi section works according to the LTP principle (Last Takes Precedence). This means that the value last adjusted or selected has precedence for a channel. You will find the currently valid PAR values of the Combi section on the corresponding feature pages of the display. These values are scaled with the middle master fader (Combi PAR) and output via DMX.

Fields of application of this combined storage are for example:

 music-synchronised shows programmed in the timeline editor  complete sequences, e.g. for theatre performances  combined colour states during touring /stage applications  completely remote-controlled shows, e.g. via MIDI  in general: all fields of application, where complete colour or lighting states are already definite at

the beginning the programming phase

3.1 Direct access to fixtures

The Licon 1X allows access to a total of 32 fixtures. The fixtures are activated with the keys of the Fixture-/PAR Selection (keys 1-32). The fixtures are activated, when the corresponding LED is lit.

In order to be able to enter the individual parameters, the corresponding fixture must be stored at least in one fixture group and the corresponding master and group faders must be raised!

 Storing and recalling fixture groups. Fixture groups are a composition of fixtures, the brightness of

which is controlled with the group faders in the Fixture section.

3.2 Fixture groups

The Licon 1X controls the brightness of fixtures separately. In order to see a beam of light at all, both the master fader of the Fixture section and the fixture fader of the corresponding group must be raised. A total of 8 group faders are available, which can be switched four times (so that you have access to a total of 32 groups).

3.2.1 Storing fixture groups

Eight fixture faders are available for the storage of different fixture groups. These fixture faders can be switched four times. To define a fixture group, activate the desired fixtures with the keys of the Fixture-

/PAR Selection (LEDs must be lit). Then press and hold the STORE key in the Combi section and simultaneously press

the switch-key in the Fixture section (keys below the fixture faders), on which you want to store the fixture group (choose between switch-keys 1-8). Then release both keys again.

Use the 4 switch-keys with incoporated green LEDs in the FIXTURES section to switch the eigh t faders to four banks. In order to switch the banks, press and hold the SHIFT key and simultaneously press the desired bank (switch-key with green LED) in the FIXTURES section.

Note: during the storage of fixture groups the LED of the group key in the Fixture-/PAR Selection must not be lit!!!

If you wish to alter the composition of the group, repeat this procedure and choose

another combination of fixtures.

3.2.2 Activating fixture groups

First of all press the GROUP key in the Fixture-/PAR Selection (the LED of the Group/Highlight key is lit). Then activate the stored groups by selection of the desired switch-keys 1-8 in the Fixtures section. The LEDs of the activated fixtures are lit. If you need more than one fixture group at a time, press the corresponding switchkeys in the Fixtures section simultaneously. All fixtures will be activated that are stored on the corresponding switch keys (group keys). The brightness of the fixtures is controlled with the faders located above the group keys. If you work in the Combi section, the fixture fader, on which you have stored the group and the Combi master fader must be raised. The master fader for the Combi section is the right fader in the master section.

3.2.3 Switching fixture fader banks

A total of 8 group faders is available, which can be switched four times. The flash-keys with incorporated LEDs located below the fixture faders 1-4 indicate the individual banks. In order to switch the banks, press the SHIFT key in the Page/Bank section and simultaneously one of the flash keys located below the fixture faders. Faders with a value greater than zero are only switched to the new bank, when the fader is pulled down to zero.

3.3 The Highlight/Group key

This key has two functions: activating fixture groups

localising fixtures

Activating fixture groups:

There are two different ways of working with the group function: Press the Highlite/Group key (LED is lit). Now you can activate fixture groups that have been previously stored on the fixture faders. Press the flash-key located below the corresponding fader. If the master fader and the fixture fader are raised, the fixtures integrated in the corresponding fixture group are lit.

In order to flash the moving heads of a fixture group, press and hold the Highlite/Group key (LED is not lit) and simultaneously press one of the flash-keys located below the fixture faders. Then release both keys again. Now flash the just activated fixture group by positioning the fader on the zero value and pressing the flash-key below the group fader.

Localising fixtures:

In the highlight mode, the GROUP key allows quick and easy localisation of fixtures. If you wish to employ the programming aid HIGHLIGHT, proceed as follows: press and hold the HIGHLIGHT key and select a fixture from the Fixture-/PAR Selection by pressing the corresponding key. The DMX values of the channels speed, gobo, color, prisma and frost of the selected fixture are set to 000, whereas the values of shutter and dimmer are set to 255. PAN/Tilt, moving patterns, iris and focus remain unchanged. The fixture now shows an open, white beam of light. The corresponding LED is flashing. For deactivation, press and hold the HIGHLIGHT key and simultaneously press the fixture key with the flashing LED. Release both keys and the Highlight function is deactivated.

The Clear key deactivates all activatedcfixtures (LED goes out).

The Invert key inverts all activated fixtures.
