24 Channel UNITOUR 48 Channel UNITOUR The top section contains the UHM (UNITOUR Head Module). See section 1.5.11.7.4 The centre section contains the output modules. Each module has either 12 switched output channels or 12 switching/dimmer output channels. Each output channel has its own RCBO circuit breaker. -
Page 11: Uhm (Unitour Head Module)
1.5.1 UHM (UNITOUR Head Module) The UHM is used to configure, control and monitor the UNITOUR rack and also to display the current system status and report any alarm conditions. It also acts as a control and reporting proxy to the outside world allowing all relevant information to be reported to LSC’s HOUSTON X monitoring and configuration software. -
Page 12: Setup Without 3 Phase Power
3 phase power. It only requires a PoE Ethernet switch to connect to the UHM control module which will power the UHM allowing the UNITOUR to be configured using the touch screen or via LSC’s HOUSTON X via a laptop or tablet. -

Time of 220µS (measured between 10% and 90% at 50% output level into maximum rated load). In switching mode, the module uses LSC’s “TruPower” technology that bypasses the dimmer circuitry and directly connects the output circuit to the incoming power via a mechanical relay. -

When starting a new configuration it is recommended that you clear any previous configuration and reset the UNITOUR back to the factory default settings. This will set all channels to “Auto Power” mode and “LOCAL” control. If you tap NO and do not do a reset, the output channels will remain in their last used configuration. - Page 22 UNITOUR Power System User Manual Tap the type of module (Switch or Dimmer) that is or will be fitted in each module location, A through D from top to bottom of the rack. Tap NEXT to set the external control source for all channels.

DMX addresses, the “Home” menu displays the word “Patched”. Hint: To use sACN or Art-Net protocols, UNITOUR must have a valid IP address and NetMask set in order to work correctly. When using Art-Net, it is essential that the IP address is set to be compatible with the address on the device sending the Art-Net packets. - Page 29 UNITOUR Power System User Manual Tap any channel button to see detailed information about that channel View Currents Menu • Tap LOAD (Amps) to view the load current of every channel. • Tap LEAKAGE (mA) to view the earth leakage current of every channel.

20mA and 30mA of leakage. This can make it difficult to know when a RCD is close to tripping so when the UNITOUR rack is manufactured, every RCD is tested to determine its trip current and this value is stored and used to calculate the percentage of the leakage current that will trip the RCD. -

UNITOUR Power System User Manual The “Stagger Time” can be set to any value from 0.1 to 2.5 seconds. This is the time interval between each “Auto Power” channel turning on. The “Hold Time” can be set to any value from 0 to 30 minutes. When the control source is no longer detected the hold time starts counting down. -
Page 35: Min Level
Note: The actual output voltage of the dimmer channel is dependent upon the dimmer curve. LSC recommends that you measure the output voltage (with a 240 volt load connected) to determine the “Max” level setting you require for a specific maximum voltage. This procedure should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel. -
Page 36: Curves
It defines how the dimmers output voltage responds to the control signal input. UNITOUR provides several different curves and each has a different response. You can try each curve to see which one gives you the most linear results for you lighting fixtures. If your rig also has some other types of dimmers you can experiment to find which curve gives the best match to those dimmers. -
