Setup Manual - Butler S2
Overview
The e:cue Butler S2 is a DMX/RDM engine that can be used either in standalone
mode to replay and loop previously uploaded lighting shows, or as a DMX output
device controlled by another e:cue server with an e:net connection. It is pro-
grammed using a PC or the e:cue Lighting Control Engine running the e:cue
software suite. One compact Butler controls up to 1024 DMX channels in two
DMX universes. Up to 99 cuelists for shows in standalone mode are stored on a
micro SD card. The DMX channel control can be increased to 16,384 channels by
clustering more Butler S2s. The Butler is powered by an external power supply with
12 - 24 V DC or via 48 V DC PoE (Power over Ethernet). A 7-segment LED is used
for message and status display.
Transport
Only transport the Butler S2 in its original packaging. This protects the device from
damage. Only unpack the at its installation location. To protect the device against
condensation water, unpack it and wait until all moisture remaining in the Butler S2
has evaporated. Condensation can occur when the device is moved from a cold to
a warm location.
Inspect the delivery content
Unpack the Butler S2 and inspect all parts for completeness. Keep the packaging
for use in case of further transport. If there is apparent damage to the device or
parts are missing from the delivery scope, please contact e:cue service.
