Connecting the LP-2000 to Digital Dimmers
The LP-2000 is designed to be used with a wide range of dimmer
systems. The two 5-pin DMX 512 digital outputs on the rear panel
offer a fast and reliable way of sending control information to the
stage. Simply connect a standard 5-wire control cable from either
console jack to the DMX connector on the dimmer. Additional dimmers
can either be connected to the second DMX output on the console, or
can be "daisy-chained" to the first dimmer, by running additional
cables between the dimmers.
The LP-2000 complies fully with the USITT standard, and should pose no
compatibility problems with DMX 512 dimmers from Leprecon or from
other manufacturers. Should any incompatibilities be encountered,
please contact Leprecon with the specific dimmer model and
manufacturer.
Connecting the LP-2000 to Analog Dimmers
Even with the advent of digital control standards, most portable
lighting systems still use analog control lines between the console
and the dimmer racks. The LP-2000 is available with optional 0-10
volt analog outputs, using either a 27-pin Cinch-Jones connector or a
37-pin Socapex connector. The range of the analog control voltage can
be adjusted from 0 to 3 volts at minimum position (faders off), and
from 5 to 12 volts at maximum. See "Analog Output Trim" (page [43])
for details on how to adjust this.
