Dmx Addressing - JB Systems Light MICRO LED MANAGER Bedienungsanleitung

ENGLISH
 DIP-switch 10 must be set to OFF on all units. Each unit in the chain needs its proper start address so it
knows which commands from the DMX-controller it has to decode. When you need a lot of power you
can use several Micro / Mini LED Managers and give them the same start address. See the previous
chapter to learn how to set the DMX addresses.

DMX ADDRESSING

How to set the DMX addresses:
There are 3 ways to set the DMX-address of the units. If you use setting options A or B you MUST set
ALL DIP-switches to OFF position.
A. Setting individual DMX-addresses per Micro / Mini LED Manager:
 Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!
 Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
 Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
 Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).
 Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on your Micro / Mini LED
Manager to maximum (value 255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the Micro / Mini LED Manager shortly.
 If you want to set another unit to the same DMX-start address, simply press it's "Auto DMX
address" button (6) and it will receive the same address.
 Done!
An example to make things clear:
We will set the DMX start address of a Micro / Mini LED Manager to 106:
 Connect the Micro / Mini LED Manager to the DMX-controller as described above and make
sure all is switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
 Now set DMX-channel 106 to maximum (255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the Micro / Mini LED Manager shortly.
 Done!  Your Micro / Mini LED Manager now has DMX address 106!
B. Automatic DMX-addressing, starting from any given start address:
To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP switches of 16 units...) you can set the
DMX addresses of all units in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need to calculate the
starting address of each individual unit, this will be done for you!
 Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!
 Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
 Connect the first unit to a universal DMX controller.
 Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on your DMX-controller to zero (value 000).
 Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on your Micro / Mini LED
Manager, to maximum (value 255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain for
about 5seconds.
 Done!  The first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain will receive the DMX-start address you
chose and it will automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in
the DMX-chain!
An example to make things clear:
We want to set the DMX-addresses of 16 units, the DMX start address of the first Micro / Mini LED
Manager must be 202:
 Connect all Micro / Mini LED Manager to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure
all are switched on.
 Set all DMX-channels on the controller to zero (000)
 Now set DMX-channel 202 to maximum (255)
 Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain for
about 5seconds.
 Done!  The first Micro / Mini LED Manager in the chain will receive DMX-start address 202 and
it will automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-
nd
chain! This means that the 2 Micro / Mini LED Manager automatically receives address 206,

the 3 has address 210, ..., until the 16
start address 262.
You just programmed 16 Micro / Mini LED Managers, this took you about 10seconds!!!
Remark: you can mix the units with other DMX-effects that don't have the automatic DMX-
addressing option. In that case you still have to set the DMX-addresses of these DMX-effects
manually! You can also mix the Micro / Mini LED Managers with other JB Systems LED products
that have the auto DMX-feature. They will also automatically receive their DMX-addresses.
C. Setting DMX-addresses using the DIP switches:
This is the traditional addressing method, this method should be used when used with the LED
WALL DIMMER. The first 9 DIP-switches correspond to a certain DMX-value:
DIP #1 #2 #3
Value 1 2 4
You can combine the values of these switches to obtain any starting address between 1 and 512:
Begin address = 01  switch 1=ON
Begin address = 05  switch 1+3=ON
Begin address = 09  switch 1+4=ON
Begin address = 13  switch 1+3+4=ON
...
Begin address = 62  switch 2+3+4+5+6=ON
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Standalone 1unit:
 Connect the LED projectors to the Micro / Mini LED Manager as indicated in the previous chapters.
 Switch the unit on and refer to the chapter "DIP SWITCH SETTINGS" to make yourself familiar with
the various functions of the faders and buttons.
B. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
 Connect the LED projectors to the Micro / Mini LED Managers as indicated in the previous chapters.
 Connect the units with each other as explained in the chapter about electrical installations.
 Switch the Micro / Mini LED Managers on. You can only use the controls on the master unit, the
controls on the slaves are disabled. Refer to the chapter "DIP SWITCH SETTINGS" to make yourself
familiar with the various functions of the faders and buttons on the master unit.
C. Connect the optional LEDCON-02 for remote control:
In most cases the MICRO / MINI LED MANAGER will be installed on a wall, close to the LED-projectors.
If you want to have easy access to its functions, you can connect the LEDCON-02 remote controller to
the (first) Micro / Mini LED Manager. The other connections are identical to those of the standalone or
master/slave setups. Don't forget to perform the automatic addressing on the LEDCON-02!!!
D. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:
 Connect the LED projectors to the Micro / Mini LED Manager(s) as indicated in the previous chapters.
 Connect the Micro / Mini LED Manager(s) with all other DMX-appliances in the DMX-chain.
 Switch all units on and set the proper DMX-addresses. (don't forget to set DIP-switch 10 to OFF)
 Switch your universal DMX-controller on and refer to the DMX chart below to control the connected
Micro / Mini LED Managers:
