Applications
This unit is used for effect illumination, e. g. on
stage, in discotheques or festival rooms. It pro-
duces 28 light beams which rotate and change
colours. As a light source, two 3 W LEDs are used.
The LEDs have a low power consumption, a low
heat generation and a long life.
The light effect unit is designed for control via a
DMX light controller (3 DMX control channels,
switchable to 1 channel); however, it is also suit-
able for operation on its own. In this case, it is con-
trolled via selectable programs, via the integrated
microphone or via a remote controller (available as
an accessory: LC-3).

Setting the Unit into Operation
4.1 Installation
G
Always position the unit in such a way that a suf-
ficient air circulation is ensured during operation.
Never cover the air vents of the housing.
G
Always ensure a minimum distance of 50 cm to
the illuminated surface.
Fasten the light effect via its mounting bracket (3)
at a suitable place, e. g. with a stable mounting
screw or a support for lighting units (C hook) to a
crossbar. To align the unit, release the two locking
screws (2) on the bracket, adjust the desired incli-
nation, then retighten the screws.
4.2 Power supply
1) To
switch on
the unit, connect the mains cable
provided to the mains jack (13), then connect the
plug to a socket (230 V~/ 50 Hz). When starting,
the display (9) shows
. Then the unit is
ready for operation. It is either operated via a
DMX light controller (
chapter 6) or automati-
cally runs through the control program adjusted
(
chapter 5).
2) To
switch off,
disconnect the mains plug from
the socket.
Caution:
Never
connect the unit to the mains volt-
age via a dimmer!
For a more convenient operation, it is recom-
mended to connect the unit to a mains socket
which is switched on and off via a light switch.
For power supply of another light effect unit, use the
mains output jack (14) if the total current consump-
tion does not exceed the rated current of the fuse in
the fuse support (12) [
type plate and imprint on
the unit]. For connection, use e. g. the mains exten-
sion cable AAC-170 / SW from MONACOR. Thus,
several LED-142RGB units can be interconnected.
4.3 Basic settings
To make the following basic settings via a menu
(see page 2), press the buttons MENU,
,
and
ENTER (10). Press the button MENU repeatedly
until the display (9) shows the desired function.
Then press the button ENTER:
Note:
If you do not press any button for one minute, the unit
will stop the setting procedure and return to the normal
operating mode.
Blackout mode on or off
Press the button
or
to select:
The light beams are always activated.
Select this setting when operating the unit
without DMX controller.
The light beams are only activated via a
DMX controller. Once the DMX controller
has been switched off, the light beams are
deactivated.
To memorize, press the button ENTER.
WARNING
To prevent damage to your eyes,
never look directly into the light
source for a long time.
Please note that fast changes in light-
ing, e. g. flashing light, may trigger
epileptic seizures with photosensitive
persons or persons with epilepsy!
WARNING
Install the unit safely and expertly. If
it is installed at a place where people
may walk or sit under it, additionally
secure it [e. g. by a safety rope; lead
the safety rope through the eye bolt
(4) and fasten it in such a way that
the maximum falling distance of the
unit will not exceed 20 cm.]
If the unit is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling plant
for a disposal which is not harmful to the
environment.
