 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 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.
 Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
 Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
 Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices 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 % switching.
 The LX109 has a power output to supply power to another LX109. When connecting several LX109s in a
daisy chain via this output, make sure that the total current does not exceed the power line‟s nominal
current. Use power cables with an adequate section
 The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 Connection

When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the other
side to the male XLR input of the LX109. Multiple LX109s 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 devices on a serial data link is 32 devices.
 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 120 Ω resistor between pins 2
and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket of the last device in the chain.

The LX109 can be used in the following modes:

stand-alone mode: automatic
