to a power outlet, please make sure that the selected voltage matches your
local voltage. When replacing fuses, please make sure that you always use
fuses of the same type. Some units allow for switching between 230 V
und 120 V. Please note: when connecting a unit intended for the European
market to a 120 V power outlet, you must also replace the factory fuse with a
higher-value fuse.
Power is supplied via an IEC connector. The matching cable is provided with

3. Presets

This chapter describes individual steps used to set up, recall and fade in/out
presets (pre-determined lighting situations). Even though your LC2412 can
execute complex functions, its controls are easy to master, provided you invest
some time to familiarize yourself with the way they work. To familiarize you with
the control elements and their functions step by step, let us begin with setting up
presets (preset = the total collection of all fader positions of the A PRESET section
at one particular time). Let's start with 12 channels first.
All statements referring to channels 1 - 12 apply also to channels 13 - 24
(upper mode).
◊
Think of presets as building blocks used to create more complex
lighting situations: memories capture the setup of a preset
(up to 24 channels) on one fader; chases use presets (level step)
as well as memories (memory step) as single steps.

3.1 Basic configuration

Pull all the faders all the way down to the zero mark. This way, you assure that
you start your exploration of the possibilities of the LC2412 from a neutral
setting, and can observe the results of the changes you implement directly.
Use the POWER switch to power up your BEHRINGER EUROLIGHT LC2412.
The LC2412 displays now the setup that was most recently used, just prior to
being powered down last time.
If you want to start completely from the beginning, you can use a key
combination to erase all programmed configurations. More on this subject
in chapter 7.8.
3.1.1 Preset mode
To work exclusively with presets, you have to first switch into preset mode.
Select "P" in the bank display accordingly.
1. Press the UP or DOWN keys repeatedly until "P" is shown in the display.
The display flashes for roughly 3 seconds.
2. Once the flashing stops, your LC2412 is in preset mode. The CHANNEL FLASH
function is now automatically activated, which is also shown by the lit
control LED (CH FLASH (32) ).
3. Raise the MAIN fader (43) as well as Fader A (41) .
4. You can now use faders 1 - 12 of the A PRESET section to create a stage
design. The illumination level of individual lighting elements can be read out
on the control LEDs, aligned next to the FLASH keys.
◊
You can not program or recal memories while in preset mode. On the
other hand, stored chases can be recalled whle in preset mode.
3.2 Expanding to 24 preset channels
(upper mode)
All operations applicable to channels 1-12 can be executed on channels 13 - 24,
once you switch into upper mode.
1. Press the UPPER switch (33) .
The control LED indicates that the LC2412 is now in upper mode, that
is, that the faders of the A PRESET section now control channels 13 - 24.
The faders from the B MEMORY section affect channels 13 - 24 while in
preset mode.
2. Set up your preset by moving the faders of the A PRESET section into the
desired position.
In case you had already executed setups to channels 13 - 24, you have to
first put the faders into the previously selected position before being able to
again align these channels.
3. To quit upper mode, simply press the switch.
◊
After switching over, the control LEDs indicate the illumination
condition of the respective active channels independent of the position
of the faders. To alter the setting of a channel, you have to first bring
the respective fader into the previous position.
Additional features:
While in upper mode, the flash keys fade in the channels 13 - 24.
