Control Modes Setup LED Dim 12 with Lighting Controller 01) Use a 3-pin XLR cable to connect the LED Dims to each other. 02) Connect a lighting controller to the first device’s "in" socket. 03) Link the devices as shown in (Fig. 03). Connect a DMX signal cable from the first device's DMX/RJ45 "out" socket to the second device's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth devices. 04) Connect LEDs to the LED connectors on the LED Dims. 05) Supply electric power to each LED Dim, starting with the first device. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly. Setup LED Dim 12 with Lighting Controller Fig. 03 Note: Link all cables before connecting electric power

Device Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the devices on a serial data link determines the number of devices the data link can support. Important: Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the EIA-485 standard, no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 30 devices on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal. Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 30 devices Control Panel A) OLED display B) OK button C) DOWN button D) UP button Fig. 04 DMX Addressing The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX addresses, which is the first channel with which the LED Dim will respond to the controller. Please note, when you use the controller, the device has 48 channels. When using multiple LED Dims, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address of the first LED Dim should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second LED Dim should be 1+48=49 (049); the DMX address of the third LED Dim should be 49+48=97 (097), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each LED Dim correctly. If two or more LED Dims are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. Controlling: After having addressed all LED Dim devices, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller. Note: After switching on, the LED Dim will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If it does not, the problem may be: ● The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the LED Dim. ● The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are swapped in the input connector. Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last device in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.

However, you should keep the device clean. Disconnect the mains power supply and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power and then wipe the connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power. The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by a skilled person once a year. The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded. 02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots. 03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing. 04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue. Troubleshooting No Light If the device does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. Suspect four potential problem areas as: the power supply, the internal fuse, the LED Dim 12, the LEDs. 01) Power supply. Check if the device is plugged into an appropriate power supply. 02) The internal fuse. Return the LED Dim 12 to your Artecta dealer. 03) The LED Dim 12. Return the LED Dim 12 to your Artecta dealer. 04) The LEDs. Refer to the user manual of the LEDs for more information. 05) If all appears to be O.K., plug the device in again. 06) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the LED Dim 12, as this may damage the device and the warranty will become void. 07) Return the device to your Artecta dealer.

No Response to DMX 01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct. 02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the device; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power. Try your DMX control again. 03) Determine whether the controller or the LED Dim 12 is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If it does, take the DMX cable and the LED Dim 12 to a qualified technician. Problem Probable cause(s) Remedy One or more device does not function at all No power to the device ● Check if power is switched on and cables are plugged in Internal fuse blown ● Return the device to your Showtec dealer Devices reset correctly, but all respond erratically or not at all to the controller The controller is not connected ● Connect controller 3-pin XLR Out of the controller does not match XLR In of the first device on the link (i.e. signal is reversed) ● Install a phase reversing cable between the controller and the first device on the link Devices start correctly, but some respond erratically or not at all to the controller Poor data quality ● Check data quality. If much lower than 100 percent, the problem may be a bad data link connection, poor quality or broken cables, missing termination plug, or a defective device disturbing the link Bad data link connection ● Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables Data link not terminated with 120 Ohm termination plug ● Insert termination plug in output jack of the last device on the link Incorrect addressing of the devices ● Check address setting One of the devices is defective and disturbs data transmission on the link ● Bypass one device at a time until normal operation is regained: unplug both connectors and connect them directly together ● Have the defective device serviced by a qualified technician 3-pin XLR Out on the devices does not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed) ● Install a phase-reversing cable between the devices or swap pin 2 and 3 in the device, that behaves erratically No light or LEDs cut out intermittently Device is too hot ● Allow the device to cool down ● Turn up the air conditioning LEDs damaged ● Refer to the user manual of the LEDs The power supply settings do not match local AC voltage and frequency ● Disconnect device. Check settings and correct if necessary
