9. Input and Output
Mains (power supply)
The Lightcommander works without any voltage selection on mains input
90 to 240 V AC (40 to 60 Hz). Input connector and power switch are on the
back panel.
Analog output
The analog output signals come out on Socapex EF337 Connectors.
1. Socapex
Pin layout:
Pin 1 - 30
Dimmer 1-30
Pin 36+37
Common/ground
2. Socapex (only on Lightcommander 48/6)
Pin layout:
Pin 1 - 24
Dimmer 31-54
Pin 36+37
Common/ground
DMX output
The DMX 512 (1990) output on 5 pin XLR connector corresponds to USITT
protocol. All dimmers, demultiplexer, multifunctional fixtures and effects,
working on this standard, can be controlled via the Lightcommander.
The output surpasses the RS485 rsp. RS 422a standard.
Pin layout:
pin 1 = Common
pin 2 = Data -
pin 4 = not used
pin 3 = Data +
pin 5 = not used
Sound input
The galvanic isolated sound input is a 1/4" jack with 1 kOhm impedance.
Minimum voltage of about 100 mV AC is necessary. Input gain is control-
led via a LEVEL potentiometer. The HOLD potentiometer allows to set a
minimum hold off time of up to 6 seconds between two signals.
MIDI IN / OUT / THRU
On MIDI operations it corresponds to the MIDI standard. On Master-Slave
operations a MA specific protocol is used which can not be recorded on a
MIDI Sequencer.
All DMX512 and analogue inputs and outputs must be shielded
and the shielding must be connected to the ground of the corre-
sponding plug.
If the Socapex output is not in use, please put the enclosed plastic
cap on it; so no electrostatic discharging can happen within the
plugs.
