7 ePLATE REMOTE CONTROLLERS
ePlates are the remote wall station controllers
for the e24V3 dimmers or other LSCnet enabled
products. The ePlates allow you to recall internal
memories from the e24V3 for replay at a pre-
programmed level and fade time. ePlates can
also be programmed to perform other functions
such as selecting “memory” or “DMX” operation
or locking out other ePlates. ePlates are
connected to the e24V3 dimmers via a
communications bus called LSCnet.
Note: If “Net Playback” functions are disabled in
the e24V3 menu, the Memories and Net Setup
buttons in the Menu are dimmed, and ePlates
will not function. See section 6.6.8 Net Playback
for details.

configurations;
2 Buttons 4 Buttons 8 Buttons 4 Faders

Each button and its associated indicator can be
independently programmed to control up to 4
independent events, allowing complex functions
to be easily operated by a novice. See below for
details of specific ePlate functions.
7.2 LSC Net Cabling
LSCnet uses Cat5 cable for the interconnection
of devices and all devices are connected in a
daisy chain fashion. All connections are via
industry standard RJ45 connectors.
Cat5 cable daisy chained between devices.
The LSCnet cable is used to carry both data and
power for the ePlates. The e24V3 can power up
to 4 ePlates. Up to 800 meters of Cat5 can be
installed before a data repeater is needed. If
more than 800m is required then a LSCnet data
repeater is required. Contact your LSC agent for
details.
7.3 LSCnet TERMINATION
The LSCnet must be correctly terminated.
Termination is required at BOTH ends of the
data cabling.
Each ePlate has a main processor board with a
small “LSC Net Connection Board” plugged into
the back of it. This “LSC Net Connection Board”
contains the two network RJ45 connectors and
the “LSCnet TERMINATE SWITCH”.
