1.1 ABOUT THIS MANUAL
This manual describes the installation, configuration and operation of the Redback
Wallmount range of slimline installation digital dimmers and wall plate stations
manufactured by LSC Lighting Systems.
There are four different colour themes that you can select on the LCD screen. This screen
images in this manual use the default “Redback” colour theme.
1.2 REDBACK OVERVIEW
The Redback Wallmount dimmers can be controlled by any DMX512 lighting controller or by
optional remote wall plate stations. Dimmer configuration, patching and local control is
achieved via a backlit colour touch screen on the front panel. A lock code can be used to
prevent unauthorised tampering. Most control functions, configuration options and front
panel operations can also be remotely controlled using the RDM (Remote Device
Management) protocol.
1.2.1 Features
 DMX512 (1990), DMX512-A (E1-11) and RDM (E1-20) compliant control. If DMX is
lost, the Redback can either hold the last values or fade to a “DMX Loss” memory
after a programmable delay.
 Optional switched power channel outputs provide direct power by utilising relays
guaranteeing there is absolutely no electronics in the circuit to interfere with
connected loads.
 Six internal memories with wall plate control.
 Panic mode for evacuation lighting.
 Individual channel settings for:
o DMX address patching.
o Minimum and maximum output levels.
o Fade curve.
 10 Amp MCB (Miniature Circuit Breaker) protection per channel.
 100% duty cycle operation across all channels simultaneously.
 Variable speed fan cooling. The fan only operates when required.
 CE and C tick approved.
1.2.2 Redback Control Philosophy
The Redback Wallmount dimmer is known as an “ARCHI-TAINMENT” dimmer.
 Architectural control of Redback memories is by remote “wall plates”.
 Entertainment control is by DMX from your lighting controller.
The Redback Wallmount’s dimmer channels can be individually configured to be controlled
by either:
1. DMX Only
2. Memory Only
3. Auto Switch
4. Auto Power
1. DMX Only. When configured for “DMX Only”, a channel is controlled from a DMX lighting
controller. If DMX fails, the channels can either hold their last state or after a programmable
delay time, fade to a “DMX Loss Memory” previously stored in the Redback.
2. Memory Only. When configured for “Memory Only”, a channel is controlled from wall
plates that are used to recall memories (6) stored in the Redback dimmer. These memories
can also be recalled from the LCD touch screen.
3. Auto Switch. When configured for “Auto Switch” a channel will be automatically
switched from Memory to DMX control whenever the lighting controller is switched on (and
hence a DMX signal is detected on the input to the Redback).
