FUNCTIONS

MICRO LED MANAGER

MINI LED MANAGER Mk2

1. INTERNAL MICRO: used for sound activated chases.
2. DMX INPUT: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables. This input receives instructions from a DMX-controller or from another Micro / Mini LED Manager when used in master/slave mode.
3. DMX OUTPUT: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the Micro LED Manager with the next DMX appliance in the chain or with another Micro / Mini LED Manager when used in master/slave mode. The Micro / Mini LED Manager can also be used as controller for other LED projectors like for example "LED PAR56/64"
4. POWER ON LED: used to check if the Micro / Mini LED Manager is connected to the mains.
5. DIP SWITCHES: when used in DMX mode (DIP10 = OFF) you can set the DMX-starting address of the unit. When used in stand-alone mode (master, DIP10 = ON), you can use the DIP-switches to set different pre-programmed options.
6. AUTO DMX ADDRESS BUTTON: see further to learn how to set the DMX address easily.
7. OUTPUT TERMINALS: used to connect different 24Vdc common anode LED projectors. You can connect any 4pole electrical wire to connect the LED-projectors to this output. However to make life easier for you we suggest using the special CCM-50 cable (role = 50m). The wires in this cable correspond to the colors of the LEDs .
8. ANALOG SWITCH INPUT: used to connect any external analog switch. This external switch can be used to switch the general output of the Micro / Mini LED Manager on/off. (external blackout) See further for more information on how to connect the analog switch.
9. WALL DIMMER INPUT: used to connect our LED WALL DIMMER, a small LED controller that fits in any standard "electrical wall box". See further for more information on how to connect the LED WALL DIMMER.
10. MAINS INPUT: with IEC socket, connect the supplied mains cable here.
11. STATUS LED: shows the status of the unit, should blink when DMX is detected.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.

How to connect the LED-projectors to the output of the unit:

Important: Switch the Micro / Mini LED Manager OFF before you install the LED-projectors! The maximum total load of the Micro Led Manager is 50W, spread over 3 colors: each of the 3 colors has a max. load of 16W 17W! The maximum total load of the Mini Led Manager Mk2 is 100W, spread over 3 colors: each of the 3 colors has a max. load of 33W!

Two different types of passive LED projectors can be connected:

A. LED Projectors with a special 4pin connector (ex. LED STRIP):

Use the supplied conversioncable and connect theinternal 4 wires to thecorresponding 4 terminals ofthe MICRO / MINI LED

WELL CONNECTED

MANAGER. Fix all projectors properly and daisy chain the in/output cables until you reach the maximum allowed load. Make sure to fasten the plastic ring of the connector.

B. LED Projectors with open wires (ex. LED GROUND LIGHT):

Simply connect the colored wires to the corresponding terminals on the LED MICRO MANAGER. Make sure not to exceed the maximum allowed load:

• White wire: This is the common wire (anode)
• Red wire: This the power for the red LEDs.
• Green wire: This the power for the green LEDs Blue wire: This the power for the blue LEDs

Remark: the outputs to the LED-projectors are short circuits protected. However when a short circuit occurred, it must be reset: disconnect the Micro / Mini LED Manager for about 10seconds from the mains and plug it back in.

Connecting an external analog switch for blackout:

Using any ordinary on/off switch, you can put the output of the Micro / Mini LED Manager in blackout, even if it's controlled by DMX: for example you can use a regular "wall switch" to turn the LED-light on/off at any moment!

• Connected wall switch in OFF position (contacts open): output = ON
• Connected wall switch in ON position (contacts closed): output = OFF (blackout)

Connecting the optional LED WALL DIMMER:

The LED WALL DIMMER is a small, easy to use, controller that can be installed in any standard wall connection box. This controller can be connected directly to the Micro / Mini LED Manager. The 0V & +12V should be connected through a normal 2wire cable. The DMX-signal should be connected using a good quality balanced DMX-cable with good shielding.

Remark 1: the Micro / Mini LED Manager should be set to DMX-address 001, using the traditional DIP switches (see "DMX addressing to learn how to do this")

Remark 2: if you want to control more than 1 (Micro) LED manager, just connect the LED Managers together with the DMX in/outputs and put all DMX addresses to 001.

Electrical installation in Master/slave-mode:

• You need to "daisy chain" the DMX in/outputs of 2 or more units with a good quality balanced cable

• Switch the unit with the free DMX-input connector to master, the other units are automatically switched as slaves. The DIP-switches on the slave units are disabled.

Electrical installation in Master/slave-mode with the LEDCON-02 remote:

• You need to "daisy chain" the DMX in/outputs of 1 or more units with the output of the LEDCON-02 remote using a good quality balanced cable

• The LEDCON-02 remote will be used to control all connected slaves. The Micro / Mini LED Managers are automatically switched as slaves. The DIP-switches on the slave units are disabled.

Electrical installation in DMX-mode:

• The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality balanced cable

• To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90 to 120 terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won't work!

90~120 ohm resistor

• DIP-switch 10 must be set to OFF on all units. Each unit in the chain needs its proper start address so it knows which commands from the DMX-controller it has to decode. When you need a lot of power you can use several Micro / Mini LED Managers and give them the same start address. See the previous chapter to learn how to set the DMX addresses.

DMX ADDRESSED

How to set the DMX addresses:

There are 3 ways to set the DMX-address of the units. If you use setting options A or B you MUST set ALL DIP-switches to OFF position.

A. Setting individual DMX-addresses per Micro / Mini LED Manager:

• Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!
• Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
• Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
• Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
• Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).
• Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on your Micro / Mini LED Manager to maximum (value 255)
• Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the Micro / Mini LED Manager shortly.
• If you want to set another unit to the same DMX-start address, simply press it's "Auto DMX address" button (6) and it will receive the same address.
• Done!

An example to make things clear:

We will set the DMX start address of a Micro / Mini LED Manager to 106:
- Connect the Micro / Mini LED Manager to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all is switched on.
- Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
- Now set DMX-channel 106 to maximum (255)
- Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the Micro / Mini LED Manager shortly.
- Done! Your Micro / Mini LED Manager now has DMX address 106!

B. Automatic DMX-addressing, starting from any given start address:

To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP switches of 16 units...) you can set the DMX addresses of all units in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need to calculate the starting address of each individual unit, this will be done for you!

• Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!
• Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
• Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
• Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
• Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).
• Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on your Micro / Mini LED Manager, to maximum (value 255)
• Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain for about 5 seconds.
• Done! The first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain will receive the DMX-start address you chose and it will automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-chain!

An example to make things clear:

We want to set the DMX-addresses of 16 units, the DMX start address of the first Micro / Mini LED Manager must be 202:

• Connect all Micro / Mini LED Manager to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all are switched on.
• Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
• Now set DMX-channel 202 to maximum (255)
• Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain for about 5seconds.
• Done! The first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain will receive DMX-start address 202 and it will automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-chain! This means that the 2^nd Micro / Mini LED Manager automatically receives address 206,

the 3^rd has address 210, ..., until the 16^th Micro / Mini LED Manager who automatically receives start address 262.

You just programmed 16 Micro / Mini LED Managers, this took you about 10seconds!!!

Remark: you can mix the units with other DMX-effects that don't have the automatic DMX-addressing option. In that case you still have to set the DMX-addresses of these DMX-effects manually! You can also mix the Micro / Mini LED Managers with other JB Systems LED products that have the auto DMX-feature. They will also automatically receive their DMX-addresses.

C. Setting DMX-addresses using the DIP switches:

This is the traditional addressing method, this method should be used when used with the LED WALL DIMMER. The first 9 DIP-switches correspond to a certain DMX-value:

DIP	#1	#2	#3	#4	#5	#6	#7	#8	#9
Value	1	2	4	8	16	32	64	128	256

You can combine the values of these switches to obtain any starting address between 1 and 512:

Begin address = 01 switch 1 = ON values:1

Begin address = 05 switch 1 + 3 = ON values: 1 + 4 = 5

Begin address = 09 switch 1 + 4 = ON values: 1 + 8 = 9

Begin address = 13 switch 1 + 3 + 4 = ON values: 1 + 4 + 8 = 13

Begin address = 62 switch 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = ON values: 2 + 4 + 8 + 16 + 32 = 62
