Unpacking LC Plus Series products are packaged either in sets of 4 panels in a 4-unit flightcase or as single panels in a cardboard box. The following items are included.
• 4 x 1.5 m (4.9 ft.) Ethernet patch cables with IP67 RJ-45 connectors: P/N 11840140 • LC Plus Installation and Safety Manual: P/N 35000218 * Threaded spigots for conical couplers in the Martin LC Plus are not interchangeable with the threaded spigots for the standard Martin LC Series.
Figure 3: Safety limits for stacking and suspending attached panels Standing installation See Figure 3. One vertical stack with LC Plus 1140 panels resting on each other may contain a maximum of nine LC Plus 1140 panels stacked upright or eight LC Plus 1140 panels stacked on their sides.
One vertical stack with LC Plus 2140 panels resting on each other may contain a maximum of seven LC Plus 2140 panels stacked upright or five LC Plus 2140 panels stacked on their sides. An unlimited number of stacks of panels may be installed alongside each other.

7. As soon as a panel is fastened in place, install two safety cables to secure it. Safety attachments must be able to bear at least 10 times the weight of all the panels they secure. See Figure 6. Loop safety cables in a figure-of-eight around vertical side columns and the supporting structure or the panel above so that if a rigging clamp or conical...
Disconnect the entire installation from power before carrying out installation work. Warning! A maximum of FIVE LC Plus 2140 panels in total or TEN LC Plus 1140 panels in total may be interconnected using power throughput connectors to form one chain that draws power via the first panel’s power input cable.
Amphenol C016 20 D 003 100 12 cable connector (female, IP67- rated). Power can be relayed to another LC Plus panel via the throughput socket (see E in Figure 1 on page 6). This socket accepts an Amphenol C016 20 H 003 100 12 cable connector (male, IP67- rated).

Figure 9: Amphenol power cable connector assembly instructions The Amphenol C016 ecomate series power cable connectors used with the LC Plus accept power cable from 6 mm (0.24 in.) to 9 mm (0.35 in.) diameter when fitted with a standard cable gasket, or from 9 mm (0.35 in.) to 12.5 mm (0.5 in.) diameter when fitted with an optional heavy gauge cable gasket.

Power plugs and power outlet sockets A power plug must be installed on the power input cable so that you can connect LC Plus panels to AC mains power. Install a grounding-type (earthed) industrial 3-prong type B plug (see Figure 10) that complies with IEC 60309 or a comparable national standard and is rated 16 A minimum, and use corresponding power outlet sockets.
Each LC Plus panel has two RJ-45 Ethernet sockets (see A and B in Figure 1 on page 6) for connection to the P3 link. All sockets are bi-directional, handling both P3 signal input and output.

1. Plug an Ethernet patch cable running from the P3-100 System Controller’s P3 signal output socket into one of the RJ-45 Ethernet ports on the first LC Plus panel (it does not matter which port you use, as both P3 connectors can be used for input and output). In outdoor or wet locations, an IP67-rated Amphenol RJF RB 6 housing must be installed on the RJ-45 plug.
This section covers the needs of the installer and technician only. It explains the options available for configuration and testing of LC Plus panels, but it does not explain how to allocate addresses to panels or the options available for displaying video. For details of these, see the P3-100 System Controller user documentation.

2140 Panel model number (either 2140 or 1140) PLUS Identifies panel as LC Plus. Table 4: Start-up display messages The boot process generally takes approximately 4 seconds. When it is completed, the panel displays its address. It will continue to display its address permanently unless the control menus are activated.
Resetting and rebooting panels If it becomes necessary to reset an LC Plus panel, it is possible to force a 'normal reboot' (which causes the panel to reset and start up as it normally would when power is applied), or a 'factory reboot' (which causes the panel to start up the original factory-programmed firmware).
The user will need to carry out periodic cleaning, and it is also possible for the user to update the LC Plus firmware quickly and easily from the P3-100 System Controller. All other service operations must be carried out by Martin Professional or its approved service agents.
