INITIAL POWER UP PROCEDURE

With the circuit breaker panel door open and breakers visible, turn on the Controller Power 15 Amp circuit breaker�

The red “Status” LED should illuminate on the LCRP Controller and “Lyntec LCRP-12” will scroll across the screen�

Use the red and green test buttons to test relay operation�

Please note that the test buttons and normal sequencing signals are disabled when a DMX signal is detected regardless of DMX sense settings�

EO/EL will override DMX signal settings, but individual circuit settings allow customization of the response� BO is enable by default, but can be disabled in the normal manner�

Chapter 5--Setup

Figure 5-1: LCRP Controller Dial

LCRP-12 setup is achieved via a dial on the LCRP Controller� The dial is rotated to view options and pressed to select and store options� The dial can rotate left or right and also be pressed in for menu selection and control� The screen will timeout after 30 seconds and clear anything not saved�

Note: It is advised to not have DMX signal active during setup� Having a DMX signal active during setup reduces the responsiveness of the dial�
