1.INSTALLATION
1.1 Mounting the device
Depending on the model of the device there are different mount-
ing options:
LumiNode 4 is a device that can be mounted in a truss as well as
in a rack. Please read the following instructions to make sure the
device is mounted and secured correctly.
RACK MOUNT  LumiNode 4
In case you want to mount your LumiNode 4 in a standard 19-inch
rack, you must attach the included mounting ears. Connect the
longest ear (A) to the right-hand side of the device with 4 screws,
re-used from the device. Attach the shorter ear (B) to the left-hand
side again with the 4 screws.
RACK MOUNT  TWO DEVICES
In case you want to mount two LumiNode 4 devices or a Lumi-
Node 4 and a LumiCore in a standard 19-inch rack you can mount
the two devices together. A space saving way as the two devices
will only consume a single row in your 19-inch rack.
First you attach the shortest mounting ears. Connect the short-
est ear (C) to the left-hand side of the first device with 4 screws,
re-used from the device. Attach the other shortest ear (D),
delivered with the second device, to the right-hand side of the
second device, again with 4 screws. Use a pair of mounting brack-
ets (E) to connect the two devices in the middle on the frontside.
Use a second pair of mounting brackets (E), delivered with the sec-
ond device, to connect the devices at the rear. Each pair of brack-
ets musts be mounted with 2 screws.

To combine a LumiNode 4 device with a Luminex half 19” device,
style GigaCore 10, the mounting procedure differs a little.
The bolt (F), not included, replaces the rear couplers at the rear
side of the device. Use the correct bold, M10x20, with a screw wire
no longer as 20mm. You can order this part from Luminex (Part
Number: R 90 01042)
Screw the bolt, through the LumiNode 4 back ear, into the side
M10 insert and tighten it. The rest of the mounting procedure re-
mains the same.
TRUSS MOUNT  LumiNode 4
To mount a LumiNode 4 in a truss, you must attach a M10 clamp
(G) to the M10 insert (H). After that, you can mount the clamp to
the truss bars. Please also secure the device by attaching a safety
line directly to the truss bars as well (I).

TRUSS MOUNT  LumiNode 2
To mount a LumiNode 2 in a truss, use the two plastic
tie wraps that are included. Bring on each side a tie
wrap through the holes of the device, around the truss
bar and tighten it (J). Please also secure the device
by attaching a safety line directly to the truss bars as
well (K).
WALL MOUNT  LumiNode 2
The LumiNode 2 can be mounted to a concrete or wood wall by
using applicable screws and anchors. Make sure that the screw
head diameter is between 8 – 10mm and the screw length is at
least 40mm in order to make a strong wall connection.
Ø 8-10mm
≥ 40mm
Drill 4 holes, at the correct distance in both directions as indicated
in the picture below. Mount the device in such way that the Eth-
ernet and DMX ports are facing sideways, and the chassis side is
perpendicular to the ground.

1.2 Power up the device
Depending on the model there are different ways to power your
device:
LumiNode1: Power-up the device with a USB cable (U) or with
PoE (N). The device will automatically switch on. To shut it down
after use, just un-plug the USB cable or the network cable again.
LumiNode2: Power-up the device with a network cable with PoE
(N). The device will automatically switch on. To shut it down after
use, just un-plug the network cable again.
LumiNode4 and 12: Power-up the device with a power cable fitted
with a Neutrik PowerCONTRUE1 connector (M) (please contact your
local dealer if you do not have a suitable power cable at hand). The
device will automatically switch on. To shut it down after use, just
un-plug the power cable again. LumiNode4 and 12 can also be
powered with PoE (N).
The LumiNode 4 and 12 require standard AC power distribution from
100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. Current required depends on the model.
The mating Neutrik® powerCON® TRUE1 connector is supplied; how-
ever, you will need to purchase or construct a cable appropriate for
your application.
When installing a new connector please refer to the following wire
colour code reference:
WIRE* CONNECTION
Green/Yellow AC Ground
Blue AC Neutral
Brown AC Line
* International (Harmonised) Standard
Alternatively, the LumiNode series are 802.3af compliant (PoE), so
that each LumiNode will act as a PD (Powered Device) and can be
powered by any compliant PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) such
as Ethernet switch, midspan and PoE injector. All models can only
be powered with PoE via Eth2!
For LumiNode 4 and 12, if both AC power and PoE are used the AC
power supply will be prioritized but the PoE will seamlessly take
over if the AC power fails.
The LumiNode12 offers the option to daisy chain up to 30 devices
via the PowerCON TRUE1 outlet on the rear of the unit.

How to quickly copy a process Engine
Once you have created your first process engine, select it by click-
ing on the tick box in the top left corner. A handle appears at the
bottom centre of the process engine.
Click and drag the handle down, to select other process engines.
The LumiCore will automatically increase the universe number for
each following process engine. This allows you to create a com-
plete configuration in a snap!
THE DMX / RDM PAGE
The DMX / RDM page is divided in two sub menus:
Port Settings
The port settings oers you to:
Add a legend to a port to easily identify what is connected to
it. This will also update the tooltip on the configuration page
of the process engine.
Enable Sync mode: when enabled the DMX output framerate
is matched to the input framerate. If the source used for this
port has the ability to send an ArtNet or sACN sync packet this
will be used.
Redundant Slave: when enabled the DMX port listens to
incoming DMX from another port or another node and will
start outputting if NO input is registered. When DMX redun-
dant slave is enabled RDM is automatically disabled.
Enable RDM, enabling RDM allows RDM traffic to be
transported from/to an outlet over the network and back.
• Adaptive discovery. When RDM is enabled it is possible to
enable Adaptive Discovery. This will continuously check
for new and disappeared RDM devices on the output.
• Interweaving. Interweaving is enabled by default. Inter-
weaving is only available when the FPS is set lower or
equal to 34fps. Interweaving makes that RDM messages
are interweaved with DMX. If your fixture does not support
interweaving or the RDM packets you are sending are too
large you would disable RDM interweaving. For example,
with a RDM based follow-spot system interweaving needs
to be disabled.
• ArtRDM universe. The ArtRDM universe is the universe
which is used for ArtTOD and ArtRDM packets. By default,
this will be matched to the ArtNet universe of the first Art-
Net input of your process engine.
Scroll down and click“Save” to save your settings.
At the bottom of the process engine section you can find a button
to force an RDM discovery in case this is required.
DMX Settings
On the DMX / RDM page at the bottom of the page you find the
DMX settings.
DMX Framerate in Frames Per Second
Breaktime in microseconds
DMX output time continuous by default is enabled and the
LumiNode will keep outputting the last received stream
packages on the DMX. When you disable the continuous out
put time you can choose a time the LumiNode will keep
outputting the data with a minimum time of 1 second.
RDM Controller IP is the only device in the network that can
make changes via RDM. When 0.0.0.0 every device in the
network can make changes but if you want to have a
dedicated device to manage the RDM you can define the IP
here.

DMX REDUNDANCY
The LumiNode range supports DMX redundancy from firmware
2.1.0 onwards. What does DMX redundancy mean and how does
it work?
DMX redundancy means that you can run a DMX cable from one
LumiNode to your lights and then from the output of the last light
back to the same LumiNode or to a different LumiNode.
(If the redundant port is on the same LumiNode, only one process
engine is required to configure both ports).
The redundant port will not output DMX until it is no longer re-
ceiving DMX.
Once a link in the DMX chain gets broken or disconnected the
slave port will start outputting DMX and the lights will continue to
operate as expected.
As soon as the broken link is restored the redundant port will go
back to an idle state.
NOTE: For this system to work between dierent LumiNodes,
it is important that the conguration of both process engines
and the settings for sync and dmx framerate are identical!
When the redundant port is in idle state, the port LED is solid ma-
genta and the LCD display on the LumiNode 4 and LumiNode 12
will show the outline of the output symbol in magenta.
As soon as the port becomes active the port LED will turn to flash-
ing magenta and the LCD display will show a magenta filled out-
put symbol.

4.LCD DISPLAY (LumiNode 4 and 12 ONLY)
From firmware version 2.0 onwards the LCD display has been acti-
vated and the following information can be found on the display.
In normal operation the LumiNode will step through the port
overview pages depending on the total amount of ports on the
model. The display will change every 5 seconds.
The image (1) to the right shows the layout of the display:
(A) Model number
(B) IP address / Netmask
( /8 = 255.0.0.0, /16=255.255.0.0, /24=255.255.255.0)
(C) Port number
(D) Shows if the port is Input or Output
(E) Shows the mode of the port
For a more detailed view per port you can use the jog wheel and
scroll to the right (image 2). Example of detailed port info:
(A) Port number you are viewing
(B) When RDM is showing RDM is active on this port
(C) Shows if the port is an Input or Output
(D) Shows the input of the process engine, what protocol and
which universe
(E) Displays which process engine is linked, what mode the
process engine is in, if there is a patch or if the master/limit
has been set
(F) Shows the output of the process engine,
universe number and protocol
If a stream fails on a port the LCD display will show this by chang-
ing the Output (D) Red (image 3).
If the lost stream is recovered the LCD display will show this by
changing the Output (D) Orange. This way the user can see the
stream has been lost (image 4).
In order to clear to warnings, scroll to the following display and
press the jog wheel. This screen can be found when scrolling left
once when ports 1-4 are shown or to scroll all the way to past the
last detailed port info (image 5).
If the port is in DMX redundant mode and idle the output icon has
a magenta outline (image 6).
