3. Installation
Always connect
the LΩGIC™
1X36 to a
protected circuit with an
appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect
the LΩGIC™
1X36 to a
rheostat (variable resistor)
or dimmer circuit, even if
the rheostat or dimmer
channel serves only as a
0 to 100% switch.
Make sure to
disconnect the
products power
cord before replacing a
blown fuse, and always
replace it with a fuse of
the same type and rating.
AC Power
The LΩGIC™ 1X36 has an auto-ranging power supply that can work with an input voltage
range of 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
Make sure that you are connecting this product to the proper voltage, as per the specifications in
this guide, the product’s user manual, or on the product’s sticker.
Power Consumption
To determine the power requirements for the LΩGIC™ 1X36 see the label affixed to the
side of the product. Alternatively, you may refer to the corresponding specifications chart in
the Technical Information chapter of this manual.
The listed current rating indicates the maximum current draw during normal operation.
AC Plug
The LΩGIC™ 1X36 comes with a power input cord terminated with an IEC connector on
one end and an Edison plug on the other end (US market). If the power cord that came with
your product has no plug or you need to change the Edison plug, use the table below to wire
the new plug.
Connection Wire (US) Screw Color (US) Wire (Europe)
AC Live Black Yellow or Brass Brown
AC Neutral White Silver or Gray Blue
AC Ground Green/Yellow Green Green/Yellow
Fuse Replacement
1. With a flat head screwdriver, wedge the fuse holder out of its housing and remove
the blown fuse from its holder.
2. Replace the blown fuse with a fuse of the exact same type and rating.
3. Insert the fuse holder back in its place, and reconnect power.
The fuse is located inside
this compartment.
Remove it using a flat
head screwdriver.

Installation
6 LΩGIC™ 1X36 User Manual Rev. 07
The products
must be linked
using DMX cable
in a daisy chain (serial)
fashion. To comply with
the EIA-485 standard, no
more than 32 products
should be connected on
one daisy chain without
using a DMX optically-
isolated splitter. Doing
otherwise may result in
deterioration of the digital
DMX signal.
USITT
recommends
limiting the total
length of the DMX cable
(from the first
product/controller to the
last product) to 300 ~ 455
m (985 ~ 1,500 ft).
The Operation
chapter of this
manual provides
detailed instructions on
how to configure the
Master and Slave
products.
DMX Linking
The LΩGIC™ 4X36 uses a CAT5 cable to link to other units.
The first unit of each set of LΩGIC™ 4X36 units must connect to the DMX controller
with a CAT5 to XLR male adapter.
The last LΩGIC™ 4X36 unit must use a CAT5 to XLR female adapter to continue the
serial link to other DMX compatible units.
You may link the LΩGIC™ 1X36 to a DMX controller using a CAT5. If using other DMX
compatible products with the LΩGIC™ 1X36, you can control each individually with a single
DMX controller.
It is also possible to run several DMX compatible products synchronized without a DMX
controller in a master/slave operating mode. The LΩGIC™ 1X36 supports the master/slave
mode.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the LΩGIC™ 1X36 to a DMX controller, you may download the “DMX
Primer” document from the ILUMINARC® web site: www.iluminarc.com
DMX Modes
The LΩGIC™ 1X36 uses the CAT5 DMX data connection for its two DMX modes
(SpectraWhite™ and RGB). These modes contain their own separate personalities. Please
refer to the Introduction chapter for a brief description of these modes and the Operation
Instructions chapter to learn how to configure the LΩGIC™ 1X36 to work in these modes.
The DMX Values section will give you detailed information regarding the above-mentioned
DMX modes.
Master/Slave Linking
The Master/Slave mode allows a LΩGIC™ 1X36 product (the master) running a preconfigured
program to control several other LΩGIC™ 1X36 products (the slaves) without requiring a
DMX controller. In this mode, all the slave products will operate in unison with the master
product.
When in Master/Slave mode, the LΩGIC™ 1X36 products link to each other using the standard
CAT5 DMX connection.
