YORKVILLE LP-LED4

LIGHT BAR

Dear Customer,
Years ago, I approached Yorkville Sound for permission to build and sell an

adapter to allow their LP-304 light bars to work with a DMX-512 controller.
They went much farther. They not only gave me permission, but a lot of
help – inside information on their protocol and circuitry that allowed me to
design it more quickly and more cost-effectively. They knew some of their
customers wanted a DMX adapter for the LP-304, but couldn’t spare the
engineering manpower to do it themselves. They gave me a chance to help
their customers at a time when they couldn’t. That told me they really cared
for their customers.

Now they’ve created the LP-LED4 light bar. This time they designed-in a
place to put a DMX-512 adapter and an extra internal connector for it. Then
they called me for help with the design, and once again gave me a lot of
inside information to make sure the LP-DMX3 would be the best adapter it
could be, at the lowest price we could achieve. To me, that’s just more proof

they really care about their customers. I’m proud of my association with

them.

Installation

The LP-DMX3/LP-DMX5 installation kit should include the LP-DMX3 or
LP-DMX5 plug-in module, a 4-wire connecting cable and this manual.

CAUTION: DISCONNECT THE POWER CORD
BEFORE PROCEEDING!

Just left of center on the LP-LED4 light bar, there is a knockout panel.
Using the straight-bladed screwdriver, pry it off and remove it.

There are Phillips screws at the four corners of the resulting hole. Remove
them and set them aside for use later.

If there is a clamping screw in the stand adapter at the center of the LP­LED4, remove it and set it aside.

Make sure the LED pods are level and the tilt clamping knobs on all four are
tight. Turn the LP-LED4 over so it rests on the pods. Remove the Phillips
screws holding the bottom cover on and remove the cover.

Plug one end of the 4-wire cable into the W2 connector on the LP-LED4
control board. The connector is polarized, so don’t force it.

Put the other end of the cable through the knockout hole and connect it to the
P3 connector on the LP-DMX3/LP-DMX5.

Turn the LP-DMX3/LP-DMX5 over and carefully guide it into the knockout
hole. Be sure not to pinch the 4-wire cable.

Use the four screws removed earlier to secure the LP-DMX3/LP-DMX5 to
the LP-LED4. Dress the 4-wire cable so that it won’t be pinched or interfere
with the stand adapter, then replace the bottom cover. Turn the LP-LED4
right-side-up. If the stand adapter had a locking screw, replace it.
