warranty.
•Damage caused by disregard of certain guidelines in this manual is not covered by the warranty and
the dealer will not accept responsibility for any ensuing defects or problems.
•A qualified technician should install and service this device.
•Do not switch the device on immediately after it has been exposed to changes in temperature.

6. Installation
Refer to the illustrations on page 2of this manual.
6.1 Overhead mounting
•Have the device installed by a qualified person, respecting EN 60598-2-17 and all other applicable
norms.
•The construction to which the device is attached should be able to support 10 times the weight of the
device forone hour without deformation.
•The installation must always be secured with a secondary attachment e.g. a safety cable.
•Never stand directly below the device when it is being mounted, removed or serviced. Have a
qualified technician check the device once a year and once before you bring it into service.
•Install the device in a location with few passers-by and inaccessible to unauthorised persons.
•Overhead mounting requires extensive experience: calculating workload limits, determining the
installation material to be used… Have the material and the device itself checked regularly. Do not
attempt to install the device yourself if you lack these qualifications as improper installation may
result in serious injuries.
•For truss-mounting, use an appropriate clamp (not incl.) and fit an M10 bolt through the centre of
the (folded) bracket.
•Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
6.2 DMX-512 connection
•When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and
the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the LX103. Multiple LX103’s can be linked through
serial linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output
connectors.
•Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended
number of fixtures on a serial data link is 32 fixtures.
•A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance
or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the
digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in
the chain.
6.3 General
•Make sure there is no flammable material within a 50cm radius of the device and there is sufficient
cooling.
•Have a qualified electrician carry out the electrical connection.
•All fixtures must be powered directly off a grounded switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat
or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for 0% to 100% switch.
•The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.

7.4 Master/Slave Mode
This mode allows control several units simultaneously.

each fixture. For longer cable runs we suggest using a terminator on the last fixture.
2. Choose the first unit in the chain to function as the master fixture. Press <MENU> and choose a
mode ( , or ).

oOn the master, set the position to
oOn the slaves, set the position to ~ depending on the physical layout of the
chain.
Note: for older devices revision 1.0, set the master to address ; set version 2.0 slaves to
~ .
7.5 DMX Mode
This mode allows you to control the fixture by any universal DMX controller.
•All DMX-controlled devices need a digital start address so that the correct device responds to the
signals. This digital start address is the channel number from which the device starts to “listen” to
the DMX controller. The same starting address can be used for a whole group of devices or an
individual address can be set for every device.
•When all devices have the same address, all the units will “listen” to the control signal on one
particular channel. In other words: changing the settings of one channel will affect all devices
simultaneously. If you set individual addresses, each device will “listen” to a separate channel
number. Changing the settings of one channel will only affect the device in question.
Example:
oIn case of the 9-channel LX103, you will have to set the start address of the first unit to 1
(CH1~9), the second unit to 10 (1 + 9) (CH10~18), the third to 19 (10 +9) (CH19~27), and
so on.
1. Press <MENU> until the desired DMX channel mode ( , , , , ,
, or ) is displayed.
2. Press <ENTER> to confirm your selection.
3. Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the desired DMX starting address ( ~ ).
