Guided tour of the LUD 36
1. Power On (Green) LED
. (Seen through side casing).
2. Mains Input.
90V – 250V AC
3. LED output socket.
The LED fixtures are connected to this socket
with RJ45’s. (Max Load 36 LED’s.)
4. DMX Out/Thru socket
. Connects RJ45 data cable to input of next DMX
unit. (When using an XLR socket, you will need a converted data
cable.)
5. DMX Input socket
. Connects RJ45 data cable either from a DMX
controller, LUD 36 or other DMX controlled device. (When using an XLR
socket, you will need a converted data cable.)
6. Dipswitches.
If you are using the DMX input, the switches set the DMX
address for the power supply to respond to. If using stand-alone mode
switch 10 sets the solid colour scroll mode of the unit; Switch 10+9 sets
static colours; Switch 10+8 sets pastel colour scroll. (See page 4 for full
switch settings.)
7. DMX Indicator.
Illuminates when DMX signal is received.

DMX Addressing
This power supply requires 4 channels of DMX for each unit on the DMX
line. This unit can be individually addressed using the Dipswitches (see
page 4 fig 1.1 no 6) to give you individual control over an amount of
power supplies. Note you will not have individual control over the LED
fixtures on a single power supply, regardless of the number fixtures
plugged into the unit, will all do the same thing.
Channel 1 = Red
Channel 2 = Green
Channel 3 = Blue
Channel 4 = Dimmer
Note. The dimmer Channel must be over DMX value 10 out of 255 to
illuminate the LED’s.
Example Dipswitch Settings.

DMX OPERATION
To run this unit via DMX 512 you must have a converted data cable that
is either a 3 pin or 5 pin XLR. The DMX cable should be connected from
either the DMX desk or other DMX device to the DMX IN socket, which is
indicated on the end of the unit. If you are making your own cable the
wiring diagram below must be used. CAT5e cable must be used to make
this lead.
Fig 1.5
If this unit is to be used in the middle of a DMX line For example
you will need two converted cables one IN and one OUT, to connect
from the first DMX device to the power supply and out into the next
DMX device.

Ending CAT5e Cable
If you are using your own CAT5e cable and want to make off the ends
yourself the following diagram must be used to carry out that process.
(Fig 1.6)
Note. Some CAT5 Cable is not stranded, it is solid core, and you
must make sure you have the correct RJ45 socket. We recommend
only using stranded cable.
If you are buying pre-ended cables from another supplier, you must use
(CAT5e PATCH) cables, the cable should have this printed on it,
alternatively we will supply you with the correct cable and lengths to
suit your requirements.

Setting up
The power supply is connected to all LED fixtures by linking RJ45 CAT 5
Data cables into each fixture.

Fig 1.4 Shows a typical set up for the Ledion LUS12, LUS24 or LUS36 the
fixtures are connected to the LUD36 power
supply with RJ45 data
cables into the LUT (tee piece), (see fig 1.4) the fixture is then plugged
into the port marked
LED
, the cable coming from the LUD36 is plugged
into the port marked
IN
the cable to the next fixture is plugged into
the port marked
OUT
. When you come to the last fixture an LUC/EL
should be used in place of the tee as you do not need to carry on to any
other fixtures, the LUC/EL can be used for the end of the line or as an
in line connector to extend data cables.
3 x LU12’s (2 x LUT, 1 x LUC/EL)
1 x LU24 (connected directly)
1 x LU24 + 1 x LU12 (1 x LUT, 1 x LUC/EL)
1 x LU36 (connected directly)
NOTE. The cable run must be terminated (i.e. have no open sockets on
the tee pieces or connectors.)
Warning. The Max Cable run to the fixtures on each
LUD36 should not exceed 20m.
