CONNECTIONS

With LED MANAGER and/or MINI LED MANAGER:

- Just “daisy chain” the DMX in/outputs of 1 or more LED-Managers with the DMX-output of the LEDCON-02 remote using a good quality balanced cable.

Three electronic equipment units labeled SLAVE 1, SLAVE 2, and a small control panel (no visible text or symbols on components)

- The LEDCON-02 remote will be used to control all connected slaves. The LED Managers are automatically switched as slaves (slave LED is lit). The controls on the slave units are disabled.

Important! Don't forget to run the "auto address" function; this will give all connected units their own address. (Refer to the chapter "ADDRESSING")

With LED BALL, LED SPOT/WASH, or other LED projectors:

- Just “daisy chain” the DMX in/outputs of 1 or more LED BALL and/or LED SPOT/WASH projectors with the DMX-output of the LEDCON-02 remote using a good quality balanced cable

SLAVE 1 SLAVE 2

Important! Don't forget to run the "auto address" function; this will give all connected units their own address. (refer to the chapter "ADDRESSING")

- Just “daisy chain” the DMX in/outputs of all connected LED PAR projectors with the DMX-output of the LEDCON-02 remote using a good quality balanced cable. You can connect up to 120 units! If you use minimum 8 projectors, you can put the LEDCON-02 in 8channel mode.

Important! Don't forget to run the "auto address" function; this will give all connected units their own address. (Refer to the chapter "ADDRESSING") DIP switches 0 to 9 on the LED PAR must be OFF!

ADDRESSING

Each time you build a different installation with the LEDCON-02, you should run this function. The LEDCON-02 will distribute new addresses to the connected projectors. There are two ways to distribute the addresses:

1. FULL AUTOMATIC ADDRESS DISTRIBUTION :

The LEDCON-02 distributes the addresses automatically to all the connected LED projectors. The first unit in the chain receives address 1, the next will have address 2, ... The address distribution depends on the channel mode and the number of connected LED projectors. Some examples:

• Set to 4 channel mode with 20 projectors → addressing will be: 1234 – 1234 – 1234 – 1234 - 1234
• Set to 8 channel mode with 20 projectors addressing will be: 12345678 - 12345678 - 1234

A. First determine if you will put the LEDCON-02 in 4 or 8 channel mode (see switch n°12)
B. Connect all projectors to the LEDCON-02 and switch the complete setup on.
C. Press the "blackout" button (see n°8) for about 5 seconds: until the red "blackout LED" starts blinking.
D. You will see notice that the first LED projector in the chain is lit.
E. Press the “sound to chase” button (see n°6) to select all projectors: all projectors are lit!
F. Press the "random chase" button (see picture →)
G. Press the "blackout" button again for about 5 seconds, until the "blackout" LED stops blinking.
H. Done!

2. MANUAL ADDRESS DISTRIBUTION :

The user can determine the order of succession of the LED projectors: you have full impact on the configuration but it takes more time to set up an installation with many projectors.

A. First determine if you will put the LEDCON-02 in 4 or 8 channel mode (see switch n°12)
B. Connect all projectors to the LEDCON-02 and switch the complete setup on.
C. Press the "blackout" button (see n°8) for about 5 seconds: until the red "blackout LED" starts blinking.
D. You will see notice that the first LED projector in the chain is lit. Now you can determine the address of this projector by pressing the corresponding color/chase button (see n°1):

o Press button "chase1" → the current LED projector receives address 1
o Press button "chase2" → the current LED projector receives address 2
o Press button "chase3" → the current LED projector receives address 3

o Press button "chase4" → the current LED projector receives address 4
o Press button "chase5" → the current LED projector receives address 5
o Press button "chase6" → the current LED projector receives address 6
o Press button "chase7" → the current LED projector receives address 7
o Press button "chase8" → the current LED projector receives address 8

E. Press the "full on" button (see n°7) to select the next projector and return to "D" until all projectors received an address. If you want to select the previous projector, simply press the "sound to chase" button (see n°6). Several projectors can be put on the same address.
F. When all projectors received an address, press the "blackout" button again for about 5 seconds, until the "blackout" LED stops blinking.
G. Done!
