Mounting And Connection; Operation Without Dmx Controller - IMG STAGELINE CPL-3DMX Mode D'emploi

The LEDs can be controlled solely via the CPL-3DMX
(gradual transition of different colours, also music-con-
trolled change of colour via integrated microphone).
When connecting the remote control LC-3 available as
an accessory, various lighting colours, stroboscopic
effects and colour change programmes can be selected.
The CPL-3DMX is also suitable as a DMX interface
for controlling the LEDs from a DMX controller. For this
purpose, the CPL-3DMX is provided with 4 DMX con-
trol channels.

4 Mounting and Connection

1) Mount the CPL-3DMX to a suitable place, if required.
2) Connect the LEDs to the screw terminals (7). To pre-
vent damage to the CPL-3DMX, the load by the LEDs
for each channel (R, G, B) must not exceed 1.5 A.
B = negative pole for the blue LEDs
G = negative pole for the green LEDs
R = negative pole for the red LEDs
+ = common positive pole
3) For power supply, a regulated power supply unit is
required. Adjust the power supply unit to the voltage
required for the LEDs connected (12 V
24 V max.). The power supply unit must be able to
deliver the current required for operating the LEDs
plus a supply current of 110 mA for the CPL-3DMX.
Connect the power supply unit to the terminals
POWER (8).
The DMX connection is described in chapter 6.1 and the
connection of the remote control LC-3 in chapter 5.2.

5 Operation without DMX Controller

For operation without DMX controller, the position of
the DIP switches (2) is of no significance. Once the
CPL-3DMX receives its operating voltage, the red LED
(1) will light up. The LEDs connected will continuously
change their lighting colour (only for RGB LEDs).
With music of sufficiently high volume, the lighting
colour will change to the beat of the music and the red
LED (1) will shortly be extinguished with each change
of colour. Adjust the volume of the music system in
such a way to provide optimum music control via the
microphone (4). If required, reduce the distance be-
tween the speaker and the CPL-3DMX or position the
CPL-3DMX in such a way that the microphone will
point to the speaker.
5.1 Interconnecting several CPL-3DMX units
Several CPL-3DMX units can be interconnected.
Thus, it will be possible to operate more LEDs than
with a single CPL-3DMX unit. The master unit will be
able to synchronize all slave units so that all LEDs will
show the same colour and will change their lighting
colours at the same moment.
1) Connect the DMX OUTPUT (6) of the master unit
via a 3-pole XLR cable (e. g. series MEC-... or
MECN-... from the product range of "img Stage
Line") to the DMX INPUT (5) of the first slave unit.
2) Connect the DMX OUTPUT of the first slave unit to
the DMX INPUT of the second slave unit, etc. until
all units have been connected in a chain.
There must be no DMX signal at the DMX INPUT of the
master unit so that the red LED (1) will light continu-
ously or will be extinguished to the beat of the music.
Thus, the unit is switched to the master mode. Once
the control signals from the master unit are applied to
the slave units, their red LED (1) will flash steadily. The
slave units are automatically switched to the slave
mode and can be synchronized by the master unit.
5.2 Remote control LC-3
When operating the unit with the remote control LC-3
available as an accessory, additional functions will be
available.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack REMOTE
CONTROL ONLY (9).
2) There must be no DMX signal at the DMX INPUT (5).
3) Via the DMX OUTPUT (6), further CPL-3DMX units
min.,
can be connected (
trol them together with the master unit via the
remote control.
4) The button STAND BY (10) allows to activate /deac-
tivate the LEDs. With the LEDs deactivated, the
LED next to the button STAND BY will light up as an
indication.
5) Select the operating mode with the button MODE
(12):
Stroboscope mode
– The LED of the button MODE will not light up –
When the button FUNCTION (11) is kept
pressed, one of the three stroboscope functions
can be activated:
1. music-controlled white flash salvos
2. music-controlled individual flashes, change of
colour
3. music-controlled flash salvos, change of colour
When the button FUNCTION is kept pressed
again, the next stroboscope function respec-
tively will be activated.
Selection of lighting colour
– The LED of the button MODE will light perma-
nently –
The button FUNCTION allows to select one of
nine preset colours. A music control will not be
possible in this mode.
Music-controlled colour change programmes
– The LED of the button MODE will flash slowly –
The button FUNCTION allows to select five dif-
ferent colour change programmes. Without any
music signal, the unit will switch over to gradual
colour transition. The different programmes will
