Hardware installation

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

• The LEDA03C can be used stand alone or in combination with other LEDA03C Note that each

LEDA03C requires its own power supply (mains outlet).

• A LEDA03C can control up to 12 LED-lamps (LEDA03, not ) via the RJ45 outpu t [D].

Mounting

• Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
• Install the device in a location with few passers-by and inaccessible to unauthorized
• Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical
• Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device Make sure the ventilation openings are clear at all
• Connect one or more (max. 12) LEDA03s to the output Refer to the illustration on page 2 of this manual and to the user manual that comes with the LEDA03 for more information.
• Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Don’t connect it to a dimming pack.
• The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into Service.

DMX-512 connection

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

• When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller ( [1] , not ) and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input [E] of the LEDA03C. Multiple LEDA03C s can be linked through serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
• A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the digital control signal by electrical The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [F] of the last device in the chain.

Operation

Refer to the illustrations on page 2 of this manual.

• The LEDA03C can work in 3 modes: automatic (pre-programmed), sound controlled or DMX-
• Make sure all connections are properly made and plug the power cord [G] into a suitable mains
• Switch on the LEDA03C with the ON/OFF-switch [A]. The system will start up in the same mode it was in when it was switched
• Use the control buttons [B] to configure the

Note: press and hold the control buttons for faster setting.

  • In DMX mode, the system can be controlled via 6
  • All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an individual address can be set for every device.
  • When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one particular In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
  • In case of the 6-channel LEDA03C, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 001, the second unit to 007 (1 + 6), the third to 013 (7 + 6), and so

Slave mode

• In slave mode, the LEDA03C will respond according to the control signals it receives on the DMX input [E] and forwards these signals on its output [F]. This way multiple devices can run.
• Press the menu button and press the up- or down button until the display [C] shows SLA u .

Note: the first LEDA03C in the DMX-chain can not be set to slave. It can run an internal program or can be connected to an external DMX controller (not incl.). The last LEDA03C in the chain must have a terminator installed to avoid DMX signal corruption.
