Electrical Installation - JB Systems Mini LED MANAGER Mode D'emploi

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the
regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
How to connect the LED-projectors to the output of the unit:
Important: Switch the Mini Led Manager OFF before you install the LED-projectors! The maximum
total load of the Mini Led Manager is 100W, spread over 3 colors: each of the 3 colors has a max.
load of 33W! Make sure not to overload the output cable!
The output cable (6) uses a special 4pin connector. Two different types of passive LED projectors can be
connected:
A. LED Projectors with a special 4pin connector (ex. LED STRIP):
This is the easiest way to
make the connections. Fix
all projectors properly and
daisy chain their in/output
cables until you reach the
maximum allowed load. Make sure to fasten the plastic ring of the connector.
B. LED Projectors with open wires (ex. LED GROUND LIGHT):
Use the supplied conversion cable and connect the internal 4 wires to the corresponding 4 wires of
the LED projectors. (in most cases the colors of the wires match with the LED colors) Make sure not
to exceed the maximum allowed load:
 White wire: This is the common wire (anode)
 Red wire: This the power for the red LEDs (max. 33W)
 Greenwire: This the power for the green LEDs (max. 33W)
 Blue wire: This the power for the blue LEDs (max. 33W)
Electrical installation in Master/slave-mode:
 You need to "daisy chain" the DMX in/outputs of 2 or more units with a good quality balanced cable
 Switch the unit with the free DMX-input connector to master, the other units are automatically switched
as slaves. The DIP-switches on the slave units are disabled.
Electrical installation in Master/slave-mode with the LEDCON-02 (or LEDCON-01) remote:
 You need to "daisy chain" the DMX in/outputs of 1 or more units with the output of the LEDCON-02
remote using a good quality balanced cable
 The LEDCON-02 remote will be used to control all connected slaves. The Mini Led Managers are
automatically switched as slaves. The DIP-switches on the slave units are disabled.

Electrical installation in DMX-mode:
 The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
"daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality balanced cable
 To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won't work!
 DIP-switch 10 must be set to OFF on all units. Each unit in the chain needs its
proper start address so it knows which commands from the DMX-controller it has to
decode. When you need a lot of power you can use several Mini Led Managers and give them the same
start address. See the previous chapter to learn how to set the DMX addresses.
Connecting an external analog switch for blackout:
Using any ordinary on/off switch, you can put the
output of the Mini LED Manager in blackout, even
if it's controlled by DMX: for example you can use
a regular "wall switch" to turn the LED-light on/off
at any moment!
 Connected wall switch in OFF position
(contacts open): output = ON
 Connected wall switch in ON position
(contacts closed): output = OFF (blackout)
AUTOMATIC DMX ADDRESSING
How to set the DMX addresses:
There are 3 ways to set the DMX-address of the units. If you use setting options A or B you MUST set
ALL DIP-switches to OFF position.
A. Setting individual DMX-addressesper mini LED Manager:
 Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!
 Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
 Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
 Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).
 Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on your mini LED Manager
to maximum (value 255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the mini LED Manager shortly.
 If you want to set another unit to the same DMX-start address, simply press it's "Auto DMX
address" button (6) and it will receive the same address.
 Done!
An example to make things clear:
We will set the DMX start address of a mini LED Manager to 106:
 Connect the mini LED Manager to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all is
switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
 Now set DMX-channel 106 to maximum (255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the mini LED Manager shortly.
 Done!  Your mini LED Manager now has DMX address 106!
B. Automatic DMX-addressing, starting from any given start address:
To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP switches of 16 units...) you can set the
DMX addresses of all units in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need to calculate the
