LC-8DMX
Order No. 38.5800
DMX Light Controller
GB
Please read these operating instructions carefully prior to operation
and keep them for later reference.
1 Applications
This light controller allows easy operation of units with a maximum of
8 DMX channels altogether. As the unit may also be operated via a bat-
tery and the address range can be adjusted, it is also suited as a mobile
test unit in DMX-controlled systems.
2 Safety Notes
The units (controller and power supply unit) correspond to all relevant
directives of the EU and are therefore marked with
WARNING The plug-in power supply unit uses dangerous mains
voltage. Leave servicing to skilled personnel only. Inex-
pert handling or modification of the power supply unit
may result in electric shock.
Please observe the following items in any case:
G
The units are suitable for indoor use only. Protect them against drip-
ping water and splash water, high air humidity and heat (admissible
ambient temperature range 0 – 40 °C).
G
Do not operate the controller and immediately disconnect the power
supply unit from the socket
1. if one of the units is visibly damaged,
2. if a defect might have occurred after a unit was dropped or suffered
a similar accident,
3. if malfunctions occur.
In any case the units must be repaired by skilled personnel.
G
For cleaning only use a dry, soft cloth; never use water or chemicals.
G
No guarantee claims for the units and no liability for any resulting per-
sonal damage or material damage will be accepted if the units are used
for other purposes than originally intended, if they are not correctly con-
nected or operated, or if they are not repaired in an expert way.
If the units are to be put out of operation definitively, take them
to a local recycling plant for a disposal which will not be harm-
ful to the environment.
3 Setting into Operation
1) Set up the controller on a flat surface.
2) For power supply, connect the power supply unit provided to the jack
"9 –15 V DC" (2). A battery inserted will be switched off. Connect the
power supply unit to a socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz).
For operation independent of the mains, insert a 9 V battery.
Open the cover of the battery compartment (8) [see figure]: Slightly
push the latching towards the cover and open the cover. Remove
the connection plate and press its contacts into the battery connec-
tions so that the battery connections snap in. Place the battery into
the compartment and close the cover.
Used batteries must not be placed in the household waste;
always take them to a special waste disposal, e. g. collec-
tion container at your retailer.
3) Connect the XLR jack DMX OUT (4) to the input of the (first) unit to
be controlled (for later removal of the plug from the jack, press the
PUSH lever). For connection, use a special cable for high data flow,
if possible. Microphone cables with screening and a minimum cross
section of 2 × 0,22 mm
2
and a low capacity should only be used for
a total cable length of up to 100 m. For cable lengths exceeding
150 m, it is recommended to insert a DMX level matching amplifier
(e. g. SR-103DMX).
To control several units via the LC-8DMX, connect the DMX out-
put of the first unit to the DMX input of the next unit; connect its out-
put again to the input of the following unit, etc. until all units have
been connected in a chain. Especially for long connection cables it
is recommended to connect a terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123) to the
output jack of the last unit.

4 Operation
1) Switch on the controller with the POWER switch (1). The POWER
LED (5) will light up.
2) For basic setting, first set the control MASTER (6) to maximum.
3) Use a small screw driver to adjust the DMX address for the control 1
at the rotary switches (3):
Switch "100" = hundreds digit, "10" = tens digit, "1" = units digit.
Example for address 123: "100" = position 1, "10" = 2, "1" = 3
The controls 2 – 8 are automatically assigned to the following
addresses.
Note: As it is possible to adjust any desired address (1 – 505), the LC-8DMX
allows to test a unit in a lighting system without changing its start address.
For all addresses smaller than the adjusted address the controller issues the
value of zero.
4) When sliding down the control MASTER (6), it will be possible to
reduce the DMX values adjusted with the sliding controls 1 – 8 (7) all
at once. This allows e. g. for dimming functions to dim the units con-
nected at the same time but for other functions this may lead to
unexpected effects.
5) After operation, switch off the unit with the POWER switch. If the
controller is not in use for a longer period of time, disconnect the
power supply unit from the mains socket; even with the controller
switched off, the power supply unit will have a low power consump-
tion. If a battery has been inserted, remove it to prevent damage to
the unit in case of battery leakage.
