The DMX panel Mix4-6
The light mixing panel Mix4-6 is a small, easy to use DMX panel with standard DMX512-
1990 outputs. It has an integrated power supply with 5A (120W).
Up to 4 motoryokes inclusive focus-units from Licht-Technik can be controlled via the
joystick. With the 6 additional faders other devices like color changers or dimmer shutters
can be operated.
A 5pin and a 4pin DMX output can be used at the same time. The 4pin output can control
the connected devices directly, the 5pin can be used to provide a splitbox, e.g. PS104 or
PS204.
The device can be operated with 100V to 120V AC or 220V to 240V AC. The power supply
is designed in switching technology to provide high reliability and reduction of heat.
The housing is 2mm powder coated.

Operating and safety instructions
Before opening the housing disconnect the device from the mains
Don´t try in any case to touch the electronic through any openings, also with any objects.
This can cause an electrical accident that can lead to death!
Use the panel only in horizontal position
Admissible ambient temperature: 0..+40 degree Celsius.
The device is not for use in outside area. Only applicable indoor in clean and dry
environment.
The device must be kept dry. In case of water condensation a waiting period of 2 hours is
necessary until the state of being acclimatised is reached.
The device must not be mounted at the hand grip into a Rigg or similar systems.
Observe mains supply voltage: 100..120V AC (e.g. America, Japan) OR 220..240V AC
50/60 z.
When it has to be assumed that a safe operation is no longer possible, the equipment
must be switched off immediately and be secured against unintended operation.
This is the case when
- the equipment shows visible damages;
- the equipment is no longer functional;
- parts of the equipment are loose or slackened;
- connecting lines show visible damages.
Prior to starting the equipment the user must check the usefulness of the device for its
intended purpose. In particular, Licht-Technik shall decline any liability for damages of the
equipment as well as for consequential damages resulting of the device being used
inappropriately, of inexpert installation, incorrect starting and use, and of non-compliance
with the valid safety regulations.

Cabling
Cabling with splitbox(es):
Connect the Mix4-6 with the splitbox via a 5pin DMX cable. The two 5pin outputs of the
splitbox can be used to connect further splitboxes. On DataPower output of the Splitbox
the devices can be plugged, also in a daisy chain. Observe the maximum number of
devices. Connect the mains cable.
Distribute the load evenly over the 4 outputs.
Maximum number of devices per splitbox:
It is surely possible to mix the devices. The maximum power of 120W (PS104) respectivly
240W (PS204) must be observed. The power consumption of every device is indicated on
the type plate. The total power consumption per Power supply is the sum of the single
power consumption of the devices.

The standardized DMX-Signal is based on industrie´s RS485 Interface. It is designed for
maximum lengths up to 1200m. This length is under condition in theatre or studio normally
not possible. As a result of internal tests we recommend a maximum length of 200m (only
DMX, 5PIN). A maximum of 32 DMX receiver can be connected to one DMX transmitter. If
more devices should be connected a splitbox must be used.
The last device in a row should be terminated with a 470 Ohm resistor. The maximum lin
length must not exceed 80 m (DataPower, 4pin) because of the voltage drop.
Cabling without Splitbox:
Connect the Mix4-6 with the devices directly via a 4pin DataPower cable. Connect them in
a row (daisy chain). Observe the maximum load of 120W. The motoryoke has no output
connector, so only one motoryoke can be connected without a splitbox!

Getting started
Important! Check the mains voltage: 100..120 or 220..240 V AC !
–Switch the power switch to OFF
–Plug the mains cable
–Cable the system like illustrated on page 6.
–Switch on the device. And leave the joystick in the middle position It is calibrated

Handling / Programming
Now, the DMX-adresses of the devices have to be adapted to the panel. Program the
device-addresses like indicated on the Mix4-6:
The focus-adresses are automatically okay, because on the yoke you only have to set the
first adress. All others follow. The startadress of the motoryoke is programmed in menu
P01. (See also motoryoke manual).
For additional devices (e.g. dimmer-shutter or color changer) you can use the adresses 8
to 13. These are controllable with the 6 faders.
Very important:
The menu P27 at the motoyoke must be set to 1. It determines that 2 DMX-channels for
the PAN and TILT speed is used (Normally 1 for both speeds). See also motoryoke
manual. Is this value not set to 1, the motoryokes are not controllable from this board.
Now everything should be programmed correctly. With the unit-buttons the desired
motoryoke system can be selected. The corresponding LED lights. With the Joystick, the
motoryoke can be moved.
The focus-buttons control the focus unit. The LED bargraph indicates the position
approximately. It is not a correct indicator for the focus position.
The 6 faders on the right hand side represent the indicated DMX channels. With the flash
buttons you can set the DMX value to maximum.

Malfunctions
Caution Before opening the housing disconnect the device from electrical mains
Caution Change the fuse only in disconnected condition. If the fuse will blow again, the
device has to be repaired by Licht-Technik
Caution Replace a defect fuse only with a fuse of the right value
In the inside of the device are no parts which can be repaired by the user!!
The built in power supply is short circuit protected, overload proof and very reliable in
operation. In case of a defect no changable parts can be reached.
When connecting a defect cable to the 4pin output, it might be possible to break the DMX
line driver. This happens when there is a short circuit from 24V to pin 2 or 3.
No LED lights after power up
- Is the mains cable connected?
- Is the device switched on?
- Check the fuse inside the device.
The motoryoke does not move like desired.
- Are the DMX adresses right programmed? Check the printed adresses on the panel
and check menu P01 at the yokes.
- Is the menu P27 set to 1 at the motoryoke?
- Was the joystick touched during power on? If yes, release the joystick at power up again.
No DMX signal on the outputs
- Check the DMX lines for interruption and interchanging of pin 2 and 3.
If the error could not be recovered, the device must be sent to company Licht-Technik.
