5.1 Control all Zones via Zone A
Is DIP switch 9 enabled, you can control the Scene selection (including brightness levels) of all Zones at once
via Zone A with the following characteristics:
— Is Zone A selected, Scene control in this Zone is also valid for B and C. Example: Select for Zone A the
Scene 2  Zone B and Zone C will also each play their Scenes 2. Low-side switch settings are only used
as dened for Zone A, low-side switch settings for Zones B and C are ignored.
— Are Zone B or C selected, all control works as dened, including low-side switch settings. You have
separate control for the current Zone.
6 Standard use
The LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi controls up to two DMX universes. This address range is split into three Zones. To
any Zone a Scene can be assigned, a Scene can be a constant color or an eect and a brightness level. To
select Zones and assign Scenes, touch-sensitive button are used. To change the brightness turn the jog
wheel. To switch the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi on and o, press the jog wheel. The color in the current selected
Zone is also used to illuminate the jog wheel while it is not in Idle or O mode.
When the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi is not used, its light stripes are dimmed down after 30 seconds (default value
of Idle mode; time can be changed via LIGHTDRIVE+ app). It returns to the active state when the jog wheel is
turned or any button is touched. The integrated proximity sensor also reactivates the device back of Idle
mode, when the user approaches the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi. Reactivation does not change the selected Zone
or Scene. After switching o the device and switching it on again, the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi restores the same
state as selected before.
6.1 Jog wheel
Use the jog wheel to switch the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi on and o. Switching is done by
pressing the jog wheel. In standard mode, the jog wheel controls the brightness ( higher,
lower). The jog wheel also shows the current color of the xtures.
If the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi is in OFF Mode, you can change the appearance of the jog wheel
illumination (pulsative or static) by turning the jog wheel or via LIGHTDRIVE+ app settings.

7 Conguration via App
To congure the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi and to use its digital inputs and solid-state low-side switches you need to
use the LIGHTDRIVE+ app. The LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi provides an access point so you can congure the
device, e.g. connect it to another WLAN, using the LIGHTDRIVE+ app.
The settings allow:
— Free denition of start and end values for DMX channels in the Zones B and C (see „7.3.4 “DMX
Fixtures”“ on page 16).
— Assignment of digital inputs and low-side switch outputs (see „7.3.8 “I/O (Relays and Inputs)”“ on page
20).
— Dimming unused light stripes: only the light stripe for the current active Scene is at full intensity, all
unused stripes are dimmed (see „7.3.9 “LightDrive+ Light Stripes”“ on page 21).
For the conguration of the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi, the installation of the power supply must be completed. You
also need a tablet with the installed LIGHTDRIVE+ app.
Prerequisite: Android ≥ 6 or iPadOS ≥ 11.0
7.1 Onboarding
For the conguration via app the device provides an integrated, DHCP server including access point. The
access point is kept open for 20 min after powering up. When adding the device into a network, the access
point gets closed after the successful transfer.
On how to access the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi via the app and on how connect the
LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi to a WLAN, see the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi Onboarding Guide. Scan the
QR code, open the Link to PDF or download at www.ecue.com.
Default password of the access point: ecue0123
Connected to another WLAN: green Tone light stripe.
No connection to another WLAN: red Tone light stripe.
Initial WLAN conguration:
Enter manually the network name (SSID) at WLAN name and the password (Key) of the router. Tap the OK
button to apply the settings.
After the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi is connected to another WLAN, the app operating tablet will lose the
connection to the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi. The LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi closes its access point. To reconnect to the
LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi, connect the tablet on which the app is running to the new WLAN.
Reconnection to congured WLAN:
After powering up the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi starts a 10sec search for the previously congured network. If not
found it 5 x beeps and the access point opens: the network of the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi (“Lightdrive-AP XXX”) is
available.
If the previously congured network becomes available afterwards, the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi does not
reconnect automatically. To reconnect to the belated available network, you need to restart the device (see

Subnet Mask:
Must be coordinated with the rest of the Ethernet network settings.
Synchronization Settings
For multiple LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi devices, dene groups and therein the hierarchy of the devices among each
other for synchronizing the controlling commands.
Port:
The port to which the device listens. Must be identical between interacting devices. Minimum value = 1.
Disabled = 0.
Class:
The synchronizing group to which the device belongs. Must be identical between interacting devices. Minimum
value = 1. Disabled = 0.
Type:
The role of the device in the hierarchy.
Standalone: The device does not interact with other LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi devices.
Child: All actions of the device are dened by and identical to its (Grand-)Parent (of the same Port
number and Class ID).
Parent: The device controls the Child devices (of the same Port number and Class ID) and is controlled
by its Grandparent (of the same Port number and Class ID).
Grandparent: The device controls all Parent and Child devices (of the same Port number and Class ID).
Connect LightDrive+ to another WLAN
To integrate the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi into another WLAN, this network must provide a DHCP server. Because
the LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi remembers the WLAN conguration, the following two scenarios are to be
considered: Initial WLAN conguration and Reconnection to congured WLAN. See „7.1 Onboarding“ on page
12.
i
Only devices with the same Port number AND Class ID are
linked to each other.

7.3.4 “DMX Fixtures”
The LIGHTDRIVE+ WiFi can control two DMX512 universes,
divided into three xtures groups, the so called Zones. Each
Zone is assigned to one xture type; it is not possible to mix
xture type within a Zone.
Zone A controls the rst DMX universe (DMX1). Zone B and C
share the second DMX universe (DMX2). The Start Address
of Zone C separates both Zones. Zone C is located behind
Zone B: the addresses of Zone B must be smaller than the
Start Address of Zone C. Zone B consists of the channels 1 ...
“Start Address Zone C”, while Zone C consists of the
channels “Start Address Zone C” ... 512.
Congure the xture type and DMX channels for each of the
three Zones.
Tap the Save button to apply the settings.
Fixture type:
Select one type:
RGB (3 DMX channels)
RGBW (4 DMX channels)
Tunable White 2 DMX channels
Tunable White 3 DMX channels
Monochrome (1 DMX channel)
Add xture entries to a Zone. Using multiple entries you can integrate scattered xtures that are not lined up
together into the Zone. The xtures use as many channels as dened by the selected Fixture type, e.g. one
RGB pixel automatically takes 3 channels. Congure for each entry the following properties:
Start Address:
Set the start address of the rst DMX pixel.
Number of Pixel:
Set the number of DMX pixels (xtures) you want to address in a row. The app automatically sums up the used
amount of channels (Used DMX Channels).

Name:
You can dene a name for the entry to distinguish the addressed xtures.
For Zone B and C:
Start Address Zone C:
Set the start address of the rst DMX pixel for Zone C. This address is the separator of the second DMX
universe into Zone B and Zone C. Set the start address either in the tab for Zone B or for Zone C; the other
tab mirrors the start address.
