6. Mounting the Device

Safety



Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in the Safety

Instructions.

Rigging



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.

V. 04 – 28/09/2015 4 ©Velleman nv

LX160



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



Always secure the installation with a secondary attachment such as a safety cable (e.g. VDLSC7N or

VDLSC8N). The secondary attachment shall be designed and mounted in such a way that no part of the device can fall if the primary attachment fails.



Make sure that the safety cables can carry 10 times the weight of the device. Make sure that the maximum height of drop is limited so that no injuries can occur. If the safety cables are long, wrap them around the truss multiple times to reduce the height of drop to a safe level.



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.



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

7. 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.

8.2 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 <AUTO> or <SOUD> with UP or DOWN and press ENTER to confirm.

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

8.3 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. 04 – 28/09/2015 6 ©Velleman nv

LX160

Slave units:

1. Connect the DMX input [1] from your slave device to the DMX output [2] of the previous device in the chain.

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

3. Press MENU to enter the menu.

4. Navigate to <RUN> with UP or DOWN and press ENTER to confirm.

5. Select <SLAV> with UP or DOWN and press ENTER to confirm.

6. 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 [2] of the master device to the DMX input [1] of the first slave unit.

8.4 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 <Channel> is displayed and press ENTER.

2. Use UP and DOWN to select a channel and press ENTER.

3. Press MENU until <Address> is displayed and press ENTER.

4. 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.
