Chapter Iii: Remote Control Module - Leviton Topaz 12 User Manual

CHAPTER III: REMOTE CONTROL MODULE MODEL NO. LEC2102 - 120V
The purpose of the Remote Control Module is to control the TOPAZ 12 Pack when only a digital multiplexed control signal
is used. The remote control module automatically detects whether the control signal is DMX512 or CMX (Colortran's
version of DMX) protocol upon power-up, reset or first appearance of a valid control signal.
There are numerous switches and jumpers on or in the control module which provide a large range of configurations in
which the module can operate. The operation of each item will be explained. It should be noted that the functions of all
items may be combined as desired in order to tailor the equipment for the desired application. Refer to Figures 4 and 5
for the physical location of each item.
IMPORTANT. The module must be configured before it is installed to conform to your application.
Please read carefully and make necessary switch settings to your control module.
1. THUMBWHEEL SWITCH (Front Panel, Figure 4)
This switch selects which dimmers the module will control. In this 12 dimmer pack, position "0" represents dimmers 1 thru
12, position "1" represents dimmers 13 thru 24, etc. As the digital cable is routed from pack to pack ("daisy chained"), the
packs do not need to be sequentially assigned. Dimmer numbering is determined only by the "Thumbwheel" setting and
not by the sequence of the control cable daisy chain. It is also possible to set two thumbwheels to the same number if it is
desired to have two dimmers (one per pack) respond to the same control channel.
2. RESET SWITCH (Front Panel, Figure 4)
It a control module becomes inoperative or "freezes", the Reset Switch should be pressed. This will cause a "warm boot"
of the system and it should resume normal operations.
3. TEST SWITCH (Front Panel, Figure 4)
This switch is used to test the individual outputs of each dimmer without the use of a digital signal from the lighting
console. This switch, when in the up position, causes all the dimmers to lock on at full. By shutting off all the breakers
and turning each breaker on individually, you can check the output of each dimmer. This switch overrides any signal
coming into the pack and must be turned off (down) to restore dimmer control to the lighting console.
