5.2 Synchronous control of multiple
show laser units (master / slave mode)
Multiple units LSE-4LRG can be operated in sync.
In this mode, one unit (master unit) controls the
other units (slave units). Connect the units with
each other in a chain; please refer to chapter 5.3.1,
skipping step 1.
1) Set all slave units to the slave mode:
a) Press the button FUNC repeatedly until
starts flashing on the display.
b) Press the button ENTER to save the setting.
The display will stop flashing. If the display
continues to flash, no controls signals are
being received from the master unit yet.
2) On the master unit, set the show program de-
sired and, if required, set the speed (
ter 5.1).
5.3 DMX control
For operation via a DMX light controller (e. g. DMX-
1440 or DMX-510USB from "img Stage Line"), the
LSE-4LRG is equipped with 9 DMX control chan-
nels. DMX stands for Digital Multiplex and means
digital control of multiple DMX units via a common
control line. The functions of the channels and the
corresponding DMX values can be found in chap-
ter 5.3.3.
5.3.1 Connection
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR connections with
the following pin configuration are available:
pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For the connection, special cables for DMX signal
transmission (e. g. cables of the CDMXN series
from "img Stage Line") should be used. For cable
lengths exceeding 150 m, the insertion of a DMX
level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from
"img Stage Line") is recommended.
1) Connect the input DMX INPUT (10) to the DMX
output of the light controller or of another DMX-
controlled unit.
2) Connect the output DMX OUTPUT (11) to the
DMX input of the next DMX unit. Connect the
output of the latter DMX unit to the input of the
following unit, etc. until all DMX-controlled units
are connected in a chain.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission:
For long cables or for a great number of units
connected in series, terminate the DMX output
of the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω
resistor (> 0.3 W): Connect an appropriate ter-
minating plug (e. g. DLT-123 from "img Stage
Line") to the DMX output jack.
5.3.2 Setting the start address
For separate control of all DMX units connected to
the light controller, each unit requires a start
address of its own. Example: If the first DMX chan-
nel of the LSE-4LRG is to be controlled by DMX
address 4, set the start address on the show laser
unit to 4. The other 8 DMX channels of the LSE-
4LRG will then be automatically assigned to the
subsequent addresses. Example for various start
addresses:

DMX address assignment of the LSE-4LRG
1) Press the button FUNC repeatedly until
DMX) and a number (001 – 504) start flashing
on the display.
2) Use the button UP or DOWN to set the start
address.
3) Press the button ENTER to save the setting.
The display will stop flashing.
The LSE-4LRG can now be operated via the
DMX controller (for the DMX functions, please
refer to the tables in chapter 5.3.3).
A dot will flash on the display when DMX sig-
nals are being received. If no DMX control sig-
nals are available, the DMX address set will
start flashing.
