4.2 Power
The Butler XT2 must be powered by an external AC/DC Power Supply.
Power over Ethernet and Power over DMX are not supported. Always use an
external power supply.
The power supply must meet the following requirements:
- Output Voltage: 24 V DC
- Output Current: depending on the load of the connected devices. The Butler XT2 itself runs with max. 3 W
Always connect protective ground with the appropriate terminal in the power
supply section.
4.3 e:net
Use standard shielded CAT5 (RJ45) network cabling for e:net.
Please remember that e:net requires an isolated network segment and cannot
operate properly when using e.g. internet or video/audio streaming in the same
network simultaneously.
4.4 Digital inputs
The Butler XT2 offers eight configurable optically isolated digital inputs for
connectivity to separate systems/sensors providing 12 V DC and 15 mA power
supply. See connection diagram on the right below for details.The input voltage range
for the digital inputs is 9 to 24 V DC.
4.5 DMX
The DMX output is taken from the RJ45 connectors labeled „DMX1“ and „DMX2“ or
via clamp contacts. To connect DMX using a XLR type plug, please use the
adaptor cable, item number 40005 available as accessory or contact your
nearest e:cue distributor for a suitable adaptor cable.
Terminate each DMX line with an 120 Ohms resistor at the end to gain stability

4.6 e:bus
The e:bus is a 2-wire bus system using clamp/screw terminal connectors to
attach the wires safely and robust. The wiring between the devices is
extremely flexible. In addition to the free topology design, you do not need
to pay attention to polarities. As long as the two e:bus connectors of a user
terminal are connected to the master unit’s connectors, everything will work
fine. The two e:bus connectors of a user terminal can be connected to the
master unit‘s connectors either way. The terminal devices will recognize the
polarity and configure themselves the proper way. Please refer to the e:bus
short introduction, available at www.ecue.com for more details about e:bus.
4.7 RS-232
For communication between different systems, the Butler XT2 offers an RS-232
interface (configuration: 9600 baud, 8 databits, no parity, 1 stopbit).

Micro SD card
The Butler XT2 comes with a micro SD card and cannot operate if no micro SD card is present. A typical show file incl. configuration files is not bigger than a few megabytes, the Butler XT2 is designed to work with such typical show files. It is possible to create show files that exceed the performance capabilities of the Butler XT2. Some hints:
- The larger the show, the longer the seek times to the cuelist start points
- The more state-aware Action Pad items (mainly faders or buttons reflecting cuelist play state), the higher the permanent load to the Butler XT2
If the micro SD card has been removed during operation and is restored, the show may be continued by pressing the system button on the device – otherwise you need to reboot.
— Do not remove the SD card while the Butler XT2 is in operation!
— The Butler XT2 supports SD cards of the following types: SD & SDHC. Please
be aware that SDXC cards are not supported.

Standalone configuration
The Butler XT2 can either be configured in standalone mode without the
Lighting Application Suite and only with a web browser and a PC, or it can be
setup in online mode with the Lighting Application Suite.
Configuration in standalone mode is most recommended when the Butler XT2 has
his factory settings.
For a complete overview of other functions like clustering and assignments of
Actions and programming of shows see the System Manual for the Lighting
Application Suite, available for download from www.ecue.com for free.
When the Butler XT2 is in online mode all defined Triggers and Actions are run
in the Programmer. For standalone mode only those Triggers and Actions get
exported that the Butler XT2 can handle in standalone mode. All online mode-
only Actions and Triggers are not exported.
8.1 Using the standalone web interface
You can set the network parameters of the Butler XT2 without any other system
using a standard web browser on any PC or PC-like system.
Connect the Butler XT2 with power and via a standard LAN patch cable over an
Ethernet switch to the server (LCE or PC). If you want to connect the Butler
XT2 without Ethernet switch to the server use a so called cross cable, as not
all Ethernet interfaces support automatic RX/TX detection.Start the web browser and enter the IP address of the
Butler XT2 in the address field of the browser, in factory state 192.168.123.1
(if the Butler was configured differently before and you do not know the IP
address, perform a »Reset to factory settings«). You can now see the current
settings and parameters.![TRAXON AA557270131 Ecue Butler XT2 Lighting Control

Online configuration with Programmer
Connect the Butler XT2 via a switch to a system runnung e:cue’s Lighting Application Suite; start the Programmer.
Select the Network tab
in the status window in the upper left. Any Butler XT2 devices which are
connected to the network should appear in the list. If they do not show up in
the list, check if the IP address settings for your computer are correct and
the network range is 192.168.123.*, the default address of any new Butler XT2
is 192.168.123.1. Please also make sure your fire wall does not prevent
communication between the computer and the Butler XT2. The Butler XT2 should
become visible.
Click on the Butler XT2 line
in the Network display, this opens the device configuration dialog. Here you
can set all driver properties of the Butler XT2.
Click the IP address –
typically this should read 192.168.123.1 at this stage, when the Butler XT2 is
still set to factory defaults.
- Assign a new IP address e.g. 192.168.123.200.
- Use the same procedure for the remaining network parameters: Subnet Mask – usually 255.255.255.0, Gateway – no gateway
- Give the Butler XT2 a unique name.
- Set the base time, this is the time without DST correction, add shift and dates for DST begin and end.
- Do not modify DMX settings except you know what you are doing.
- See the following table for a complete overview of network parameters.
- Apply the changes with the Ok button
If no show is exported to the Butler XT2, e. g. when the Butler XT2 is in
factory state, no DST information and master/slave settings are available. As
soon as a show has been downloaded, correct DST information and master/slave
setting will be shown.

Properties of the Programmer.
9.2 Connecting more than one Butler XT2
In case you have several Butlers XT2 they need to be configured one at a time.
Do not connect all of them to the network immediately! This is due to the fact
that the devices all come with the same IP-address by factory default. If they
are connected simultaneously an IP-address conflict will occur and
configuration is not possible. Instead, connect the Butlers XT2 one at a time.
Connect the first Butler XT2 and assign a new IPaddress to the device (e.g.
192.168.123.11). Repeat this sequence until all devices have been assigned
with an individual IP-address. In a next step all devices can be hooked up to
the connecting network.
Standalone control via web browser
In standalone mode it is possible to control the Butler XT2 via a web browser. Connect a PC-based system to the e:net interface like shown in the chapter » Using the standalone web interface«. Start the browser and enter the IP address of the Butler XT2 as URL. From the start screen click Configure under the cuelist settings and you will get a basic control screen.You cannot only control a single Butler XT2 but also clusters of Butler XT2 and Butler S2s.
Adjusting the internal Real Time Clock
In the Advanced Settings during setup you can adjust the speed of the real time clock, if this is not precise enough. You can add a time shift as parameter RTC trim, which adds or subtracts ±48, ±97 or ±145 seconds in a 28 days cycle. If this is not suffient you can fine trim the real time clock with the second parameter RTC trim fine in a range 0 to 31. The setting of this parameter controls component variances of the real time clock. You have to try which value fits best.
Firmware update
To update the firmware of the Butler XT2 proceed the following way:
- Start the Patchelor of the e:cue Lighting Application Suite.
- In the list of found devices select the appropriate Butler XT2.
- Press the right mouse button and select Update Firmware.
- Select the file with the new firmware (*.bxt).
- After the download is complete the Butler XT2 will restart.
- The new firmware is available now.
Action Pad and Mobile Action Pad
The Butler XT2 can be controlled from a remote instance like a PC, an iOS
device like iPhone or iPad, or via Android devices. See the »System Manual«
for the Lighting Application Suite 6.0 for a detailed description.
Without Adobe Flash support for web browsers, you need an additional
