LCPM PROTOCOL MANAGER Configuration

CONNECTOR LEGEND

LED INDICATORS

Three LEDs are used to indicate power supply and processor run status and data
receive detection.

Glowing steadily indicates power supply and processor OK; off indicates no
power, and flashing indicates defective processor hardware.
Glowing steadily indicates data 1 signal received; off indicates no signal
present. Note that an address selection out of the range of the data signal
will extinguish the LED.
Glowing steadily indicates data 2 signal received; off indicates no signal
present. Note that an address selection out of the range of the data signal
will extinguish the LED.

ADDRESS SELECTION

Three rotary switches select the offset start address for the unit in most
configurations. For dual AMX output, the address switches select the starting
dimmer number for the second AMX output line. In test mode, the switches set
dimmers to full one at a time. The switches are set as (S1) hundreds, (S2) tens

Input Test: Receive data LEDs indicate correct data signal (on steadily), faulty or
incorrect signal (flashing), or absence of any signal (off).
Output Test: Desired output protocol transmitted on dimmer selected by Address
Switches. Output set to full or cycled per switch 8.
