6.3 Remote control LC-3
GB
The remote control LC-3 available as an accessory
allows to control various functions.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack ONLY FOR
REMOTE CONTROL (5).
2) There must be no DMX signal at the DMX INPUT
(7).
3) Via the DMX OUTPUT (8), further LED-810DMX/
-812DMX units may be connected (
in order to control them together with the master
unit via the remote control.
4) The button STAND BY (11) allows to activate/deac-
tivate the light beams. With the beams deactivated,
the LED next to the button STAND BY will light up
as a check.
5) Select the operating mode with the button MODE
(13).
a) When the LED of the button MODE is on, the
Chase mode will be activated. By shortly press-
ing the button FUNCTION (12), the speed of
rotation can be selected in eight steps. Each
time the button is pressed, the sense of rotation
will change at the same time.
b) When the LED of the button MODE is off, the
Stroboscope mode will be activated. By keep-
ing the button FUNCTION pressed, one of the
three stroboscope functions can be activated:
1. Permanent stroboscope
2. Stroboscope salvos
3. Music-dependent stroboscope
When the button FUNCTION is kept pressed
again, the next stroboscope function respec-
tively will be activated.
7 Operation via a Light Controller
For operation via a light controller with DMX512 proto-
col (e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB by "img Stage
Line"), the LED-810DMX/-812DMX is equipped with
3 DMX control channels. The functions of the channels
and the DMX values can be found in chapter 9.1.
7.1 Connection
As a DMX interface, the light effect unit is provided with
3-pole XLR jacks of the following pin configuration:
Pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for high data flow
should be used. Standard microphone cables with
screening and a minimum cross section of 2 ×
0.22 mm 2 and with a capacity as low as possible can
only be recommended for a total cable length of up to
100 m. For cable lengths exceeding 150 m it is recom-
mended to insert a DMX level matching amplifier (e. g.
SR-103DMX by "img Stage Line").

1) Connect the DMX input (7) to the DMX output of the
light controller.
2) Connect the DMX output (8) to the DMX input of the
following light effect unit; connect its output again to
the input of the following unit, etc. until all light effect
units have been connected in a chain.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit in
the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Solder the
resistor to the pins 2 and 3 of an XLR plug and con-
chapter 6.2)
nect the plug to the DMX output or use a corre-
sponding terminating plug (e. g. DLT-123 by "img
Stage Line").
7.2 Adjusting the start address
For operating the LED-810DMX/ -812DMX with a light
controller, adjust the DMX start address for the first
DMX channel. If e. g. address 17 on the controller is
provided for controlling the light effect unit, adjust the
start address 17 on the LED-810DMX/-812DMX. The
DMX channels 2 and 3 will then automatically be
assigned to the two following addresses (in this exam-
ple 18 and 19). As the next possible start address for
the following DMX-controlled unit, address 20 could be
used in this example.
The start address is adjusted as a binary number
with the DIP switches Nos. 1 – 9 (2). It will result by
adding the place values of the switches set to "ON".
Examples of the start addresses 1, 6 and 104:
Fig. 5 Start address 1: switch No. 1 set o ON
Fig. 6 Start address 6: switches Nos. 3 and 2 set to ON
Fig. 7 Start address 104: switches Nos. 7, 6 and 4 set to ON
The easiest way is to start from the highest possible
place value and to add the smaller values until the start
address will result.
After adjusting the start address, the light effect unit
can be operated via the DMX controller. Once DMX
signals are received, the red indicating LED (3) will
start flashing.
