6. Installation

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.
6.1 Overhead mounting
Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
no rms.
The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the
dev ice for one hour without d eformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
Never st and directly below the d evice when it is being mounted , rem o ved or serviced . Have a
qualified technicia n check the d evice once a year and once bef ore you bring it into service.
Install the device in a locatio n with few passers-by and inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calcul ati ng workload limits, determining the
install ati on material to be used… H ave the mater ial and the device itself checked regul arl y. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installat ion 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 th e f emale 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the LX103. Multiple LX103’s can be linked through ser ia l li n king. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
Maximum recommended s eri al data link di stan ce is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum rec o mmended
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
coo ling.
Have a qualified electric ian carry out the electrical connection.
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% s wi tch .
The installation has to be approved by an expert bef ore th e device is taken i nto service.

7. Operation

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

This mode allows control several units simultaneously.

chain.
Note: for older devi ces r evision 1.0, set the master to addres s ; set version 2. 0 slaves to
~ .
7.5 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
All DMX-controlled devices need a d igital start addr ess so that the corr ect devi ce r esponds to the
signal s. This digital st art address is the chan nel 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 individ ual add r ess can be set f or 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 simultaneo usly. If you set individua l addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
Example:
o In case of the 9-channel LX103, you will have to set the start add r e ss of th e f irst unit to 1
(CH1~9), the s ec ond unit to 10 (1 + 9) (CH10 ~1 8) , the thir d to 19 (10 + 9) (CH19~27), and s o on .
