Protect this device from shocks and abuse. Avoid brute force when operating the device.



Familiarise yourself with the functions of the device before actually using it. Do not allow operation by unqualified people. Any damage that may occur will most probably be due to unprofessional use of the device.



All modifications of the device are forbidden for safety reasons. Damage caused by user modifications to the device is not covered by the warranty.



Only use the device for its intended purpose. All other uses may lead to short circuits, burns, electroshocks, lamp explosion, crash, etc. Using the device in an unauthorised way will void the warranty.



Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.



Mechanical wear and LEDs are not covered by warranty.



A qualified technician should install and service this device.



Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature.

Protect the device against damage by leaving it switched off until it has reached room temperature.



This device is designed for professional use on stage, in discos, theatres, etc. The device should only be used indoors with an alternating current of 100-240 V~, 50-60 Hz.



Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation: regular operation breaks will prolong their lives.

6. Mounting and Connection

Choose a suitable mounting spot. Mount the device in the desired angle using the included bracket.

Connect the power cord to the mains. Disconnect after use.

6.1 Mounting the Device



Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable norms.



The carrying construction must be able to support 10 times the weight of the device for 1 hour without deforming.



The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.



Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.



Install the device in a location with few passers-by that is inaccessible to unauthorised persons.



Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may result in injuries.



For truss mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of the

(folded) bracket.



Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.



Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.



Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.



Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a grounded switched circuit. Do not connect to a dimmer pack.



The device has a power output to supply power to another device. When connecting several devices in a daisy chain via this output, make sure that the total current does not exceed the power line’s nominal current. Use power cables with an adequate section.



The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

6.2 Connecting the Device

Power

Connect the device to the mains with the power plug.

Power all devices directly off a grounded switched circuit.

Do not connect the device to a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even when using the rheostat or dimmer channel solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.



Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.

DMX-512 Connection



When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the other side to the male XLR input of the device. Multiple devices can be linked through serial linking.

The linking cable shall 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 noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain.

7. Operation

The device can be used in the following modes:

 stand-alone mode

 master/slave

 with a DMX-512 controller.

7.2 Stand-Alone Mode

The device starts running in stand-alone mode after connection to the mains. This mode allows you to use the device without controller.

1. Connect the device to the mains to switch it on.

2. Press MENU to enter the menu.

3. Navigate to <C--> or <P--> with UP or DOWN and press ENTER to confirm.

4. Select an option with UP or DOWN and press ENTER to confirm.

7.3 Master/Slave Mode

Notes



The master/slave mode allows for connecting several devices to a single master device in a daisy chain.



All slave devices will then work synchronously with the master device.



Configure all slave units before connecting the master unit to the daisy chain.



The maximum number of slave units you can connect to a master unit is 18.

V. 02 – 16/12/2014 6 ©Velleman nv

LX140

Slave units:

1. Connect the DMX input from your slave device to the DMX output of the previous device in the chain.

2. Connect the slave device to the mains to switch it on.

3. Repeat these steps for all slave units.

Master unit

1. Connect the master device to the mains to switch it on.

2. Set the master unit to work in one of the running modes.

3. Connect the master unit as the first unit in the chain by connecting the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave unit.

7.4 DMX Mode

The DMX mode allows you to control the device with any universal DMX controller.



All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the signals. 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 channel. 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.

To set the device to work with a DMX controller:

1. Press MENU until <4-CH>, <6-CH> or <10-CH> is displayed and press ENTER.

2. Use UP and DOWN to set the DMX start address and press ENTER.

Start addresses

Use the table below to define the correct address. The table shows the settings for units 1 to 3. Apply the same principle for the other units. Example:

Channel mode
