Quick Start Guide for the Main Functions

Reversing scene direction

To reverse the direction of all scenes:
Press ‘ALL REV’.
All scenes change their direction.
To reverse the chase direction of all programmes using the speed control: Press ‘CHASE REV’.
To reverse the chase direction of all programmes with the standard beat: Press ‘BEAT REV’.
To reverse the chase direction of a particular programme:

Keep ‘REC ONE’ pressed.
Additionally press the ‘FLASH’ button of the corresponding programme.
Release both buttons simultaneously.

Setting Fade time

The time setting determines how long the dimmer will take to get from minimum to maximum output. ‘Fade Time’ can be set via ‘FADE TIME’ . Adjustable from ‘immediately’ up to 10 minutes.

Using TAP SYNC

‘TAP SYNC’ is used to set and synchronize the chase rate (the speed of the chases) by pressing it several times. Chase speed is set by the interval of the last two keystrokes. The LED flashes at the new speed. The chase rate can be set at any time, whether a programme is set or not.
‘TAP SYNC’ overwrites all previously made speed controller settings until it is moved again. This also applies to preset standard beat.

Using MASTER fader
‘MASTER’ allows proportional control over all channels and scenes except the ‘FLASH’ buttons.
For example:
If the master fader is in the zero position, the output will also be zero, unless ‘FLASH’ or ‘FULL ON’ is used. If the master fader is set to 50 % , also the channel output will be 50 % , unless ‘FLASH’ or ‘FULL ON’ is used.
When the master fader is in its highest position, all device settings can be used.

Selecting ‘Single’ mode.

All programmes run sequentially and start at the lowest number.
The number of the currently running programme is shown in the display.
All programmes are controlled with the same speed controller.

To select ‘CHANNELS/SCENES’ , press ‘Mode Select’.
Press ‘PARK’ and use ‘SINGLE’ to select the ‘Single Chase’ mode. A red LED lights up.

‘Mix’ mode

All programs run synchronously.
All programmes are controlled with the same speed controller or the speed of each programme can be controlled individually.

Press ‘MODE SELECT’ to select ‘CHANNELS/SCENES’ .
Press ‘PARK’ and use ‘MIX CHASE’ to select the ‘Single Chase’ mode. A red LED lights up.

Dimmer Display
The display is used to display the percentage or absolute DMX value. To switch between the percentage and absolute display:

Keep ‘SHIFT’ pressed.
To switch between the percentage and absolute display, press ‘% OR 0-255’.

BLIND and HOME
‘BLIND’ temporarily removes a channel from a chase when it is playing, and allows you to manually control that chase.
To switch to Blind mode:

Keep ‘BLIND’ pressed and press the ‘FLASH’ button which is associated with the channel that is temporarily removed from the Chase.
To return to normal chase, keep ‘HOME’ pressed and press the respective ‘FLASH’ button.

PARK

If you are in ‘CHANNELS/SCENES’ mode, keep ‘PARK’ pressed to switch between ‘Single and Mix’ mode. When the device is in ‘Double Preset’ mode, press ‘PARK’ simultaneously together with ‘MASTER B’.
In ‘Single Preset mode’, the current output can be recorded. Settings are made with ‘MASTER B’ .

ADD/SWAP

‘ADD/SWAP’ changes the mode of the Flash buttons. Normally, the Flash buttons are in ‘Add’ mode. Pressing ‘FLASH’ does not deactivate a scene, different scenes can run at the same time.
‘SWAP’ mode is activated by pressing ‘ADD/SWAP’, the LED above it lights up. By pressing ‘FLASH’, any other active scene or programme is disabled.
In ‘SWAP’ mode, the disabled programme is not stopped, but it can not be output.

Double Preset

To enter the ‘A Double Preset’ mode, press ‘MODE SELECT’.
In this mode, channels 1-12 are controlled with both channel faders 1-12 and channel faders 13-24 .
With ‘MASTER A’ , faders 1-12, with ‘MASTER B’ faders 13-24 are controlled.
In this mode, no scene can be recorded.

Example…

Change to the ‘Double Preset’ mode.
Set faders 1-6 to the highest position, as well as 19-24.
Set ‘MASTER A’ and ‘MASTER B’ to the same value. You now have a scene.

Setting the DMX address

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

DMX 512:
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DMX linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufacturers to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output, please check the fixtures specifications as to which your unit accepts.

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice:
Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs
outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.

LEDJ325-Scene-Director-24-Dimmer-Console-FIG-10

Line termination

When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour.
Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour. (3-pin – Order ref: CABL90,
5-pin – Order ref: CABL89)
5-pin XLR DMX connectors:

LEDJ325-Scene-Director-24-Dimmer-Console-FIG-11

Some manufacturers use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.
