• The connection to the main network of electric distribution must be carried out by a
qualified electrical installer. Check that the voltage correspond to those for which the
unit is designed as given on the electrical data label. • This unit is not for home use, only
professional applications. • Never use the fixture under the following conditions: - in place
subject to excessive humidity; - in places subject to vibrations or bumps; - in places with

Installation
The LSDMX should be placed on a non-flammable flat surface in any orientation and fixed
by the two screws. There are two mounting holes on the housing.
Linking
After making the connection LSDMX supply (DC12V~ 24V), connect the unit with other
devices in the manner shown in diagram below. The LSDMX is equipped with two types of
connectors: 3-pole XLR and RJ45.
Functions and settings
LSDMX has a basic control panel consists of a DIP-switch (fig.2). Each individual switch has
a number (DIP switch [1] a [10]).

Manual mode
To set the manual mode is necessary to position the DIP-switch [8] & [9] to ”OFF” and the
DIP-switch [10] to ”ON”. DIP-switch [1 - 7] allow the setting of colors as shown in the fol

Automatic mode
To set the automatic mode is necessary to position the DIP-switch [10] to ”ON”. Other set

tings are shown in the following table:
• DIP-switch [8] to “ON” shows the seven-color jumpy changing effect.
• DIP-switch [9] to “ON” shows the seven-color gradual changing effect.
Every effect has different speeds from slow to fast (setting DIP-switch [1 - 7] to “ON”).
DMX mode
To set the DMX mode is necessary to position the DIP-switch [10] to ”OFF”.
As DMX interface, the unit has 3 poles XLR contacts and RJ45 connectors. The following
table shows the operating mode and DMX value.
The easiest way is to start from the highest possible place value and to add the smaller
values until the start address will result.
