User manual BEHRINGER LD6230

[. . . ] LD6230 Users Manual Version 1. 1 October 2003 EUROLIGHT ENGLISH EUROLIGHT LD6230 IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Read these instructions. CAUTION: The units installation and initial operation must be done under the supervision of a qualified professional (see INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS). To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. [. . . ] In the upper third of the faders range of motion the voltage changes linearly, whereas the transmission characteristic in the lower two thirds gets more pronouncedly degressive with each increment of fader motion. The logarithmic transmission curve is the opposite of the exponential curve. SWITCH OPERATION (US = Unlimited Switch): In this mode you can use the dimmer circle as a switch. This way, you can use your LD6230 to control fog machines, motors and various other effects. When the control voltage reaches 50% or more of a previously specified value, the channel is switched on. When the control voltage falls below 50%, the channel is switched off again. LIMITER and PREHEAT functions cannot be used in this mode. SWITCH OPERATION (LS = Limited Switch): In SWITCH OPERATION (LS) the limiter function can be used. 2. 1. 1 ADDRESS As soon as you get to the configuration mode, the ADDRESS LED lights up. In this menu, you assign DMX basic channels (1 to 507) to the six dimmer channels. This address determines the DMX channel at which control commands are executed. Since you are dealing with a 6-channel dimmer, a maximum of six consecutive DMX channels can be interpreted as control signals, depending on the assignments in the ASSIGN menu (see ch. If the start address value is 001, then the dimmer reacts to the first six channels of the DMX data stream. If you, for example, set the start address value to 024, then the dimmer reacts to the channels 024 to 029 correspondingly. If several units use the same DMX address, then they also receive the same control commands. To select the desired DMX channels, use the UP and DOWN keys. When you keep one of these keys pressed while tapping the other one simultaneously, this lets you navigate through the channels in increments of 10 channels at a time. 2. 1. 2 ASSIGN When you press the CONFIG key once again, you get to the ASSIGN menu (ASSIGN LED lights up). In this menu you can make four different input channel/dimmer channel assignments. Possible configurations: 1-6: All six outputs are dependent on the setting of channel 1. 2-3: Outputs 1-3 are dependent on the setting of channel 1, and outputs 4-6 are dependent on the setting of channel 2. 3-2: Outputs 1 and 2 are dependent on the setting of channel 1, outputs 3 and 4 are dependent on the setting of channel 2, and outputs 5 and 6 are dependent on the setting of channel 3. 6-1: All six outputs are separately dependent on the respective six channels (1-6). If you select one of the first three configuration options, you can for example form headlight groups that reproduce the same identical program since they are controlled through just one channel. [. . . ] Damages/defects caused by the following conditions are not covered by this warranty: s improper handling, neglect or failure to operate the unit in compliance with the instructions given in BEHRINGER user or service manuals. s connection or operation of the unit in any way that does not comply with the technical or safety regulations applicable in the country where the product is used. s damages/defects caused by force majeure or any other condition that is beyond the control of BEHRINGER. Any repair or opening of the unit carried out by unauthorized personnel (user included) will void the warranty. [. . . ]
