Mounting the fixture upright
To mount the fixture upright, place the fixture on a stable non-flammable surface that will
support more than the 3.6 kg weight of the fixture. If the surface is above floor height, use
safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.Mounting the fixture on a truss
To mount the fixture upright, place the fixture on a stable non-flammable surface that will
support more than the 3.6 kg weight of the fixture. If the surface is above floor height, use
safety cables to secure the fixture to the surface.
Safety Cable
We strongly recommends that you use a safety cable when mounting any fixture. You must
supply your own safety cable and verify that the cable is capable of supporting the weight of
the fixture. You can order safety cables from your Conic Lighting Designs dealer/distributor.
(see Related Products and Accessories on page 5).
Clamp
You must supply your own clamps and verify the clamp is capable of supporting the weight of
the fixture. You can order C-clamps for truss mounting from your Conic Lighting Designs
dealer/distributor (see Related Products and Accessories on page 5).
Mounting Procedure
To mount fixtures on a truss:
1. Disconnect power to the fixture. If the fixture has been operating, allow the fixture to cool
before handling.
2. Always stand on a firm, stable surface when mounting a fixture to its support. The fixture
should be at a height where you can comfortably work on it, and should either be resting
on a stable surface, or held securely.
3. Attach suitable clamp through the center hole on the base of the fixture.
4. Tighten the clamps firmly to the fixture’s base and to the support.
5. Loop one or more suitable safety cables around the support, through the side holes in the
fixture’s base.

Linking Fixtures
LM-2013 fixtures operate on a standard DMX512 link controlled by a DMX console. The
number of fixtures on a link will be determined by the combined number of channels required
by all the fixtures. A KL-3036-PPC fixture using Standard protocol requires a maximum of 12
channels on a DMX512 link. Attach the fixture to the link using data-grade cable and 5-pin XLR
cable connectors.
Cable Connectors
LM-2013 fixture accepts 5-pin XLR cable connectors. Cabling must have a male XLR
connector on one end of the cable and a female XLR connector on the other end.
Pin one is the common (cable shield), pin two is the data complement (negative), pin three is
the data true (positive). Pins four and five are not used, but they allow a secondary data link
to pass through the fixture.
Test each cable with a voltage/ohm meter (VOM) to verify correct polarity and to make sure
that the negative and positive pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or to each other.
Connecting to the Link
To link one or more fixtures to a DMX controller:
1. Connect the male XLR connector of a DMX Data cable to the controller’s DMX Data Out
connector.
2. Connect the Data cable’s female XLR connector to the Data In connector of the first (or
next) fixture on the DMX link.
3. Continue linking the remaining fixtures connecting a cable from the Data Out connector of
each fixture to the Data In connector of the next fixture on the link.
CAUTION:
Do not connect anything to the ground lug on the XLR connectors.
Do not connect or allow contact between the common (cable
shield) and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common
could cause a ground loop and/or erratic behavior.
!!! !! !12

4. Terminate the link by
installing a 120 ohm, 1/4
watt (minimum)
terminator in the fixture’s
Data Out (female) cable
connector in the last
fixture on each DMX link.
A terminator on the last
fixture of the link
prevents data reflection, which can corrupt the data communication on the link.
Powering On the Fixture
To power on the fixture, simply connect it to a 100-230 V AC power source.
Once the fixture is connected to a power source, it automatically begins a homing procedure to
verify the major functions of the fixture.
Setting the DMX Start Channel
Each fixture requires a block of consecutive channels on a 512-Channel DMX link. The number
of channels depends on the protocol you are using.
To set the Start Channel on an fixture:
1. Access the LM-2013 fixture’s menu system via the display on the fixture’s head. For a
detailed description of the menu system, see Chapter 3: The Menu System.
2. Press and hold the Menu button until AddR appears on the display. Press the Enter button
to select.
3. The display will show the start channel currently assigned to the fixture.
4. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to select a new DMX start channel. The display will
show a new option ready for selection.
5. Press the Enter button to store the new DMX Start channel. The display will stop flashing
when a new option is entered.
When setting the Start channel on a fixture, remember:
•A fixture’s physical location on the link does not have to coincide with the order of channel
range assignments in the link.
•The fixture’s channel range must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link.
When two devices on the same DMX link have overlapping channel ranges, one or both
devices will be disabled or behave erratically. The single exception would be if two or more
fixtures need to respond to controller commands in exactly the same way. In that case, those
fixtures must be the same type and must share the entire channel range.
Shutting Down the Fixture
To shoot down a fixture you can simply disconnect it from power.
CAUTION:
Do not power on the fixture until verifying that the line cord
cap is suitable for the power source in your location. For
more information, see Installing a Power Cord Cap on page 8.

Chapter 4
DMX Programming Basics
DMX Programming Overview
DMX512 Links
A lighting console typically uses a DMX512 protocol to communicate with automated lighting
fixtures and conventional dimmers. This protocol consists of 512 unique channels of control per
output link (universe). Typically a lighting fixture or device will use a channel for each
parameter’s function. Each channel consists of 256 values ranging from 0 to 255. The lighting
console is programmed to transmit a corresponding DMX value for the desired function of each
parameter. All DMX values are stored within in the lighting console, and typically are referred
to as cues, scenes, or presets. A lighting console locates a device on the link by it’s DMX Start
Channel.
8-bit vs. 16-bit DMX Parameters
Most parameters of an automated light use one channel of DMX providing 256 values of control
(0-255). This is known as 8-bit DMX. Although most parameters use 8-bit DMX, several require
a more accurate range of values than can be provided with a single DMX channel.
By utilizing two DMX channels for a single parameter, 65535 values become available for
controlling and adjusting parameter functions. This is known as 16-bit DMX. You can adjust 16-
bit DMX values in both coarse and fine increments. The first channel of the pair provides
coarse control changes of the DMX value in increments of 256. The second channel provides
fine control and changes of the DMX value in increments of 1.
Individual access of the two DMX channels used with 16-bit parameters varies by lighting
console. Most modern DMX consoles bind these two channels into a single 16-bit parameter to
accurately perform 16-bit crossfades. Consult your lighting console manual for further
information.
Determining a DMX Start Channel
The DMX Start Channel is the first channel of a device’s channel range on a DMX link. There
are 512 available channels on each DMX universe divided among all the devices in a particular
universe. A device must have a unique DMX Start Channel number in order to respond
independently to controller commands.
To determine each device’s DMX Start Channel, identify the footprint of every device on the
universe. The device’s footprint is the number of consecutive DMX channels a device requires
and is determined by the channels in the fixture’s protocol. The fixture’s DMX channel range
must not overlap any other device’s channel range on the link. When two devices on the same
DMX universe have overlapping channel ranges, one or both devices will be disabled or behave
erratically.
Select the protocol level in the fixture’s onboard menu system. The tables on the following
pages list the parameters included in each protocol mode.
