Refer to the Velleman® Service and Quality Warranty on the last pages of this manual.
Keep this device away from dust and extreme temperatures. Make sure the ventilation
openings are clear at all times. For sufficient air circulation, leave at least 1” (±2.5 cm) in
front of the openings.
Protect this device from shocks and abuse. Avoid brute force when operating the device.
• Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation
by unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use
of the device.
• All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons. Damage caused by user modifications
to the device is not covered by the warranty.
• Mechanical wear is not covered by warranty.
• Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns,
electroshocks, lamp explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the
warranty.
• Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and
the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
• A qualified technician should install and service this device.
• Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature.
Protect the device against damage by leaving it switched off until it has reached room temperature.
• This device is designed for professional use on stage, in discos, theatres, etc. The LX101 can be
used indoors (<35°C, <75%RH) with an alternating current of max. 240V AC/50Hz.
• Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their
lives.
• Use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
• Keep this manual for future reference.

installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in serious injuries.
• For truss-mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of
the (folded) bracket.
• Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
6.2 DMX-512 connection
When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and
•
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the LX101. Multiple LX101’s can be linked through
serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output
connectors.
• Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended
number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
• A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance
or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the
digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in
the chain.
6.3 General
•
Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device and there is sufficient
cooling.
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical connection.
• First connect the PowerCon plug to the power input [4], and then connect the device to the mains.
• All fixtures must be powered directly off a grounded switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat
or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for 0% to 100% switch.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

7.4 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
• All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
• When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
o In case of the 3-channel LX101, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~3), the second unit to 4 (1 + 3) (CH4~6), the third to 7 (4 + 3) (CH7~9), and so on.
o In case of the 4-channel LX101, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~4), the second unit to 5 (1 + 4) (CH5~8), the third to 9 (5 + 4) (CH9~12), and so on.
o In case of the 9-channel LX101, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~9), the second unit to 10 (1 + 9) (CH10~18), the third to 19 (10 + 9) (CH19~27), and

• All screws should be tight and free of corrosion.
• The housing, the lenses, the mounting supports and the installation location (e.g. ceiling, suspension,
trussing) should not be deformed, modified or tampered with; e.g. do not drill extra holes in
mounting supports, do not change the location of the connections…
• Mechanically moving parts must not show any signs of wear and tear.
• The electric power supply cables must not show any damage. Have a qualified technician maintain
the device.
• Regularly remove dust from the housing and the air vents using a slightly damp cloth.
• There are no user-serviceable parts inside. Refer to an authorized dealer for service and/or spare
parts.

6.1 Het toestel monteren
•
Laat een geschoolde technicus dit toestel installeren conform EN 60598-2-17 en andere toepasselijke
normen.
• De constructie waaraan het toestel wordt bevestigd, moet gedurende 1 uur 10 x het gewicht van dit
toestel kunnen dragen zonder te vervormen.
• Maak het toestel ook vast met een veiligheidskabel [7].
• Sta nooit recht onder het toestel wanneer u het monteert, verwijdert of schoonveegt. Laat het toestel
controleren door een geschoolde technicus voor u het in gebruik neemt en laat het 1 x per jaar
volledig nakijken.
• Installeer dit toestel op een plaats waar niemand langs moet lopen, kan neerzitten of het toestel kan
aanraken.
• Een degelijke praktijkervaring is vereist voor de plaatsing van dit toestel. U moet de
maximumbelasting van de draagconstructie kunnen berekenen, weten welk constructiemateriaal u
kunt gebruiken en u moet het gebruikte materiaal en het toestel af en toe laten nakijken. Monteer
het toestel niet zelf indien u er geen ervaring mee heeft. Een slechte montage kan leiden tot
verwondingen.
• Regel de gewenste invalshoek door middel van de montagebeugel en draai de regelschroeven stevig
aan.
• Een geschoolde elektricien moet het toestel aansluiten.
• Sluit het toestel via de stekker aan op het lichtnet. Sluit het niet aan op een dimmerpack.
6.2 DMX512-aansluiting
Raadpleeg de figuren op pagina 2 van deze handleiding.
• Indien van toepassing, sluit een XLR-kabel aan de vrouwelijke 3-pin XLR-uitgang van een controller
(niet meegelev.) en de andere kant van de mannelijke 3-pin XLR-ingang van de LX101. U kunt
verscheidene LX101’s aan elkaar koppelen met behulp van een seriële koppeling. Gebruik daarvoor
een 2-aderige afgeschermde kabel met XLR ingang- en uitgangsaansluitingen.
• De maximaal aanbevolen kabellengte is 500 meter, het aanbevolen maximumaantal toestellen op
eenzelfde aansluiting is 32.
• Een DMX eindweerstand is aanbevolen als de DMX-kabel vrij lang is of wordt gebruikt in een
omgeving met veel elektrische ruis (bv. een discotheek). De eindweerstand voorkomt corruptie van
het digitale controlesignaal door elektrische ruis. De DMX eindweerstand is niets meer dan een XLRstekker met een weerstand van 120 Ω van pin 2 naar 3. Deze XLR-stekker wordt dan aangesloten op
de XLR-uitgang van het laatste toestel in de reeks.
6.3 Algemeen
•
Verwijder alle brandbaar materiaal in een straal van 0,5 m rond het toestel en voorzie voldoende
koeling.
• Een geschoolde elektricien moet het toestel aansluiten.
• Steek eerst de PowerCon-stekker in de ingang [4] en koppel het toestel aan het lichtnet.
• Alle toestellen moet via een geaard stopcontact gevoed worden en mogen niet via een variabele
weerstand of dimcircuit gevoed worden, ook al gebruikt u de variabele weerstand of het dimcircuit
als een 0% tot 100% inschakeling.
• De installatie moet voor het eerste gebruik gekeurd worden door een expert.
