III Installation

The Lumentouch 2.0 and Lumencue are stand alone DMX controllers which are perfect for any DMX application.  They 

feature touch sensitive controls, 2 full universes of DMX control, astronomical clock mechanisms, remote control capabilities 

and much more.  Lumenstudio is your direct link to accessing the full potential of your controller with an intuitive, user friendly 

interface that will have you programming your own shows quickly and easily.

The Lumentouch interface must be connected to a computer with Lumenstudio installed. Connection could be with 

the mini USB cable provided, or an ethernet connection over a network. Drivers will be installed automatically when 

first connected if needed.

The controller can be programmed from a PC using the software available on our website. 

Refer to the corresponding user manual for more information. The firmware can be updated using the Hardware 

Manager which is included with the programming software.

All connections (DMX, power, ports…) are made with the rear connectors. The 6V DC power supply must be con-

nected to the 2 Power pins, and the 1st DMX universe to the 3 DMX pins of the main 5pin connector block. Power 

can also be provided by POE (Power over Ethernet) via the Power + DMX RJ-45 connection. Using the EXT Port 

connection, this interface has 8 ports (1 to 8) to trigger scenes. To use the input ports, you must create a connection 

between the Ground pin and the ports. This EXT Port connection also adds the capabilities of RS232 and access to 

the second Universe of DMX.
