LP608/LP302/LP304
This easy-to-use lighting system was developed by Yorkville Sound. Extensive research and close
collaboration with actual users helped create a system that has everything you need to light an
average sized band. The L
P608/LP302/LP304 Lighting System
outperforms many more expen-
sive lighting systems and can be easily transported in a small car. The Yorkville
LP608 Foot
Controller
responds to a light finger touch, a tap of a foot on the switches and to MIDI commands
(through its MIDI interface). Scene changes have never been easier.
CAUTION: Please read and follow these instructions carefully to assure yourself full and safe use of the
LP302 Dimmer Bar, the LP304 Dimmer Bar and the LP608 Foot Controller. Like all lighting systems, this
is a potentially dangerous electrical product. We cannot accept the responsibility for injury due to negli-
gence or faulty interpretation of the instructions. After studying this manual, if you are uncertain of electri-
cal connections, or of how to use our lighting system, please seek qualified technical assistance. Contact
an authorized Yorkville Sound Dealer.
S
etuP
A standard setup can include an
LP608 Foot Controller
and two
LP304 Dimmer Bars
(or four
LP302 Dimmer Bars
). The AC power cord of each dimmer bar needs to be plugged into separate
120VAC standard receptacles. A control cable must be connected from each bar to the foot con-
troller. You don’t need to plug the foot controller into an AC outlet because the power required is
supplied through the control cable from the dimmer bar/s.
Note: It is possible to connect multiple LP-302s and/or LP304's in a given system. The limit is
approximately 10 Dimmer Bars for each LP608 Foot Controller (also depending on cable length).
CAUTION
a. To prevent electrical shock, set up and operate the lighting system in dry sheltered areas only.
b. Your lighting system must be properly grounded. Proper grounding offers you and your audience’s pro-
tection from electric shock, and its possible fatal consequences.
c. Never break off the U-ground pin on the Dimmer Pack’s AC line cord. Ensure that all extension cords
are properly grounded.
d. When using a self-supporting stand, place on a flat level surface; extend the legs to cover the largest
area possible. This will reduce the possibility of the stand toppling over.
e. Unplug the dimmer bar AC line cord when changing the par can bulbs. Replace with same type 300
Watt PAR56/NSP bulbs.

The
LP302 Dimmer Bar
consists of two par cans mounted on a rectangular steel beam that
houses a two-channel dimmer pack. The steel beam is designed to mount onto a self-supporting
stand with a pipe diameter of 1-3/8 inch.
i. Use of LP302 Without an LP Series Controller
If it's not needed to dim the lights, or use presets, the
LP302
can be used without a con-
troller. The
Channel Override
and
Channel 2 Override
switches select which light is
activated. Also, a standard footswitch can be used to blackout the lights. It's also possible to
link units together (and black out all the lights) by using a single footswitch. Connect to the
downstream units using the Blackout or Link jacks. A two conductor phone plug (Tip-Sleeve)
or a three conductor (Tip-Ring-Sleeve) 1/4 inch cable for linking when using a footswitch.
