Configuring the EMR/EMAR
Jumper locations
Most L86 Installation Racks and some L86 Touring Racks are shipped with specially
customized programming and non-standard jumper settings for their EMR/EMAR
modules. The following section describes jumper settings and configuration options for
J3
non-customized systems only, except where noted. Customized systems include a
separate sheet noting your actual settings. If you have any questions, please contact
ETC Technical Service at 608/831-4116.
The modules are configured by adjusting settings on a bank of jumpers within the module.
Jumpers consist of either two or three vertical pins on the circuit board. A two-pin jumper
is On when a clip (a small, rectangular piece of plastic) is placed over both connectors
closing the circuit. It is Off when you remove the clip. A three-pin jumper is On with the
center pin connected to either of the side pins. It is Off when the clip is removed.
Jumper clip on
If the module malfunctions and you need to exchange it for a spare, be certain to adjust
all the jumper settings on the spare so they match the settings on the original module.
The circuit board illustrations on page 4 show the locations of all jumpers.
Selecting input data format
Jumpers 5 through 8 at location J3 allow you to select the incoming data format for
the module. Select the format by setting the jumpers according to the chart below.
Data type
Custom
DMX512
Colortran
AMX192

Custom is the most common configuration for L86 racks. If you have a customized
system, your System Manual includes a separate page showing your actual EMR/EMAR
jumper settings.
K96 supports ten backups with 256 dimmers in each. AMX192 signals have filters to
remove excess noise.
The EMR lets you merge two incoming DMX512 signals into a single output signal. The
EMAR also lets you merge an incoming signal using a different protocol with a DMX512
signal into a single DMX512 output. The chart below indicates the jumper settings for
signals that combine the output types shown in the left column.
