Slave mode 1: The slave unit is syn-
chronized with the master unit.
Slave mode 2: The slave unit is tem-
porarily controlled opposite to the
master unit.
d) To memorize, press the button ENTER.
e) To exit the setting mode, keep the button
MENU pressed until the unit starts the show
program or wait for one minute.
Once the slave units receive the control signals
from the master unit, the red LED SLAVE (11) lights
up on the slave units.
5.4 Remote control via LC-3
The cable remote controller LC-3 available as an
accessory allows to control different functions.
1) Connect the remote controller LC-3 to the jack
REMOTE CONTROL (6).
2) No DMX signal must be present at the DMX
INPUT (5). The yellow LED MASTER (8) must
light up.
3) The DMX OUTPUT (7) allows to connect further
LED-142RGB units (
chapter 5.3) in order to
control them together with the master unit via the
remote controller.
4) To activate or deactivate the light beams, press
the button STAND BY on the remote controller.
When the light beams are deactivated, the LED of
the button STAND BY lights up as an indication.
5) Press the button MODE on the remote controller
to select the operating mode:
1. If the LED of the button MODE does not light
up, keep the button FUNCTION on the
remote controller pressed to activate one of
the three stroboscope functions:
–
permanent stroboscope
–
stroboscope alternating on master unit and
slave units
–
music-controlled stroboscope
Activate the music control for this purpose
(
chapter 5.1).
Each time you keep the button FUNCTION
pressed again, the next stroboscope function
is activated.
2. When the LED of the button MODE lights up,
press the button FUNCTION to select the
show program (Sh 1 –
8). The display (9)
shows the number selected.
3. When the LED of the button MODE starts
flashing, press the button FUNCTION to set
the speed of rotation in three levels. The
music control is deactivated in this case.

Operation via DMX light controller
For operation via a light controller with DMX 512
protocol (e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB from
“img Stage Line”), the LED-142RGB is equipped
with 3 DMX control channels. However, to only run
the different show programs, it can be switched to
the 1-channel mode. For the functions and the
DMX values see chapter 9.1.
DMX is the abbreviation of
d
igital
m
ultiple
x
and means dig-
ital control of several DMX units via a common control
cable.
6.1 DMX connection
As a DMX interface, 3-pole XLR connectors with
the following pin configuration are provided:
pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for high data flow
are recommended. Standard microphone cables
with screening and a minimum cross section of 2 ×
0.22 mm
2
and with a capacity as low as possible
can only be recommended for a total cable length
of up to 100 m. For cable lengths exceeding 150 m,
it is generally recommended to insert a DMX level
matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from “img
Stage Line”).
1) Connect the DMX input (5) to the DMX output of
the light controller.
2) Connect the DMX output (7) to the DMX input of
the following light effect unit; connect its output
again to the input of the following unit, etc. until
all DMX-controlled units have been connected in
a chain.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission, in
case of long cables or a multitude of units con-
nected in series, terminate the DMX output of
the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resis-
tor (> 0.3 W): Connect a corresponding termi-
nating plug (e. g. DLT-123 from “img Stage
Line”) to the output jack.
6.2 Setting the start address and
the number of DMX channels
For controlling the LED-142RGB with a light con-
troller, it is necessary to set the DMX start address
for the first DMX channel. If e. g. address 17 on the
DMX controller is provided for controlling the func-
tion of the first DMX channel, set the start address
17 on the LED-142RGB. The other functions of the
LED-142RGB are automatically assigned to the fol-
lowing addresses. An example using start address
17 can be found below:
