protected circuit with an
appropriate electrical
ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect
the LΩGIC™
16X36 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™ 16X36 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™ 16X36 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™ 16X36 comes with a power input cord that enters through a strain relief boot

Installation
6 LΩGIC™ 16X36 User Manual (Rev. 06)
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™ 16X36 uses a CAT5 cable to link to other products.
•The first product of each set of LΩGIC™ 16X36 products must connect to the DMX
controller with a CAT5 to XLR male adapter.
•The last LΩGIC™ 16X36 product must use a CAT5 to XLR female adapter to
continue the serial link to other DMX compatible products.
You may link the LΩGIC™ 16X36 to a DMX controller using a CAT5 cable. If using other
DMX products compatible with the LΩGIC™ 16X36, you can control them individually with a
single DMX controller.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, or if you need information about the DMX
cables needed to link the LΩGIC™ 16X36 to a DMX controller, you may download the “DMX
Primer” document from the ILUMINARC® web site: www.iluminarc.com.
Master/Slave Linking
The Master/Slave mode allows a LΩGIC™ 16X36 product (the master) running a
preconfigured program to control several other LΩGIC™ 16X36 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™ 16X36 products link to each other using the
standard CAT5 DMX connection.
