4EUROLIGHT LD6230 Installation Instructions
The BEHRINGER EUROLIGHT LD6230 Dimmer Pack was developed to meet
the highest demands of light engineering. Its wide-ranging functions
make it an all-purpose workhorse for various commercial applications
(TV studios, theatreor live events).
The EUROLIGHT LD6230 has all the important features needed to control your
lighting equipment, yet its controls are clearly arranged and simple to use.
Youcan select between digital DMX or analog control. You get trouble-free
operation with the extensive LEDs used for signal error detection.
Important Information
◊ Installation as well as initial operation must be performed by qualified
personnel. Always assure that your LD6230 is completely disconnected
from the mains before removing the casing cover.
◊ The LD6230 was designed for indoor use only.
◊ Please keep in mind that sudden temperature changes (e.g. bringing
your equipment from colder environments into warmer environments)
may cause condensation on electronic components, leading to possible
equipment damage and physical harm to the operator.
◊ Please adhere to all applicable national safety standards
during installation.
◊ Please read the installation instructions and the enclosed user’s
manual in their entirety to familiarize yourself with the LD6230
and all of its functions. Please follow all instructions and store both
the installation instructions and the manual in a safe place for
future reference.
◊ Please assure that your EUROLIGHT is sufficiently cooled and that it is
not placed near heat sources that could cause overheating.
◊ If you want to run your EUROLIGHT on mains voltage other than
factory-specified voltage, contact the nearest BEHRINGER service center.
◊ To effectively limit harmonic currents and avoid voltage fluctuations that
could affect other electrical appliances, connect this equipment to an AC
outlet that complies with all applicable technical standards. In all other
cases, contact your local power supply provider for advice prior to usage.
Mains/Illuminant Connectors
To facilitate additional exibility, your dimmer pack has a connector terminal
strip. Cable bushings for connecting to the mains and your illuminants are
located in the back. Flexibility is further enhanced with the option to retrot a
CEE connector and a 16-pin HARTING connector.
Both xed and mobile installations require compliance with IEC 61010-1:2001
(EN 6110-1:2001). In particular, a 3-phase separator (pursuant IEC60947-1 and
IEC60947-3) needs to be included in the installation. This separator needs to be
labeled according to IEC 60417-50008 and IEC 0417-5007.
To assure compliance with Directive 89/336/EEC, only use specied upstream line
lters with your EUROLIGHT. Using it without line lters specied by BEHRINGER
may lead to electromagnetic interference. More detailed information on this
subject can be found at behringer.com.
Safety and Initial Operation
As soon as you connect your LD6230 to the mains, internal controls are activated.
The six automated fuses (circuit breakers) can all handle 10 A and serve as
overload protection for the connected equipment.
◊ Please keep in mind that activating circuit breakers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 also
means that the respective channels can conduct voltage.
Electronic controls are additionally protected with triple high-sensitivity fuses
located on the main board.
◊ Defective fuses must be replaced with fuses with identical rating!
The LD6230 is a Class I device in which a low-Ohm protective ground wire is an
integral part of its safety design.
During the installation, make sure that a low-Ohm protective conductor (<0,1Ohm)
exists between all bare metal parts and the grounding on the mainconnector.

Connector Terminal Strip
The connector terminal strip of your LD6230 is laid out for cables with diameters
between 0.326 mm2(AWG 22) and 4 mm2(AWG 12). When using exible access
lines, cable end contacts corresponding to manufacturer specications have to be
used. To assure good contact, skin the cable endings between 9 - 13 mm.
During the installation, all applicable national standards need to be adhered to.

Illustration: LD6230 connector terminal strip
When your LD6230 leaves the assembly plant, all incoming and outgoing
neutral conductor connectors (3) are bridged. The incoming phases L1/L1,
L2/L2 and L3/L3 (1) are always connected to one another in pairs and
switched to the overload protection of the channels 1 to 6. They protect output
connectors E1 to E6 (4). Each of the channels can handle currents of maximum
10 Amperes. Thegreen-yellow conductors (2) (PE) may only be used as
protectiveconductors.
The lowest cable gauge between L1 and L3, incoming neutral conductor (N)
andprotective earth (PE) is 4 mm2(AWG 12). For outgoing channels E1 to E6,
usecables with gauges corresponding to the loads used (2.5 mm2(AWG 14)
or1.5mm2(AWG 16)).

During the installation, please adhere to all manufacturer instructions.
Regardless from mains supply voltage, the maximum output current of
the EUROLIGHT LD6230 is 10 A per dimmer circle.

◊ Please make sure that each dimmer load is connected to a separate
channel. Never connect more than one output to just one common
neutral conductor.
◊ ATTENTION: Due to electrocution danger, do not use your dimmer pack
if there are bare cables visible.
Connection Options for Flexible Usage
Output Connector (HARTING)
In the back of your LD6230 there is a cable bushing for connecting your
illuminants. Open the ap on the top of the LD6230 to get to the terminal clamps
used for this purpose. Here you have the option to retrot a 16-pin HARTING
connector. To do that, you rst have to remove the back-bearing cover sheet and
connect the HARTING connector to the terminal clamps.

CEE Power Supply Connector
Also located in the back is a cable bushing for the mains supply. Here, you can
retrot a 5-pin CEE 32 A mains connector by removing the back-bearing cover
sheet and connect the CEE high-voltage connector to the connecting terminal.
The following illustration shows how the connections are allocated:

◊ Removable mains connector cables with mains interconnections
(pursuant IEC60320) must match the minimal load-carrying capacity
of the connector or must comply with the IEC60799 standard.
The interconnection and the cable must comply with prevalent
nominal values (maximal voltage and current).
◊ During the installation, please adhere to the instructions provided by
the connector manufacturer.
