• DMX-LED: indicates that the unit is working in DMX mode. (a DMX-signal is detected)
• MASTER LED: indicates that the unit is working in master mode.
• SLAVE LED: indicates that the unit is working in slave mode.
• SOUND LED: indicates that a music signal is picked up by the internal microphone.
5. DISPLAY: 4digit LED display shows different menu options and real-time clock.
6. FIXED COLOR BUTTONS: 9 buttons each with a preset color.
7. MODE SELECT BUTTONS: 3 buttons used to set the controller in different working modes:
• FIXED COLORS: select this mode if you want to use the "fixed color" buttons (6).
• CHASE MODE: select this mode if you want to select one of the 12 color chases using the
"chase/color" fader (8).
• SPECTRUM MIX: select this mode if you want to select one of the 32 different colors using the
"chase/color" fader (8).
8. CHASE/COLOR FADER: used to select one of the available color chases:
• Left side of the fader indicates the different chases.
• Right side of the fader indicates the different colors.
Important remark: There's also a function called "color fade" which is very nice for "background
lighting" applications. Select this function to fade gently from one color to another. You can adjust
the fade-over time with the speed/fade fader(9).
9. SPEED/FADE FADER: used to select the chase speed or color fade time:
• Left side of the fader indicates the chase speed, ranging from 2,5s to 0,1s.
• Right side of the fader indicates the color fade time, ranging from 12s to 2,5s.
10. MASTER FADER: used to control the overall dimming of the LEDs and overall strobe speed.
11. SOUND BUTTON: used to toggle the chase mode between sound and static mode.
12. FULL ON BUTTON: used to set the 3 colors (R+G+B) at maximum level.
13. BLACKOUT BUTTON: used to set the 3 colors (R+G+B) at zero level.

15. FIXING HOLES: used to fix the unit on a wall or other flat surface.
16. OUTPUT CABLES: used to connect different 24Vdc common anode LED projectors. (max. load: 300W)
Each cable uses a special 4pin female connector.
17. OUTPUT FUSES: 6,3A fuses on each of the 3 color outputs.
18. DMX INPUT: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables. This input receives
instructions from a DMX-controller or from another LED-Manager when used in master/slave mode.
19. DMX OUTPUT: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the LED-Manager with the next DMX
appliance in the chain or with another LED-Manager when used in master/slave mode.
20. INTERNAL MICRO: used for sound activated chases.
21. MAINS INPUT: with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect the supplied mains cable here.
22. ON/OFF SWITCH: used to switch the unit on/off.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the
regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
How to connect the LED-projectors to the outputs of the unit:
Important: Switch the LED-manager OFF before you install the LED-projectors! The maximum total
load of the LED Manager is 300W, spread over 3 colors: each of the 3 colors has a max. load of
100W! The total load is distributed over the 2 output cables. This means that each output cable
supports 150W (max. 50W for each color!) to have a total maximum load of 300Watt. Make sure not
to overload one of the output cables!
The 2 output cables (16) use a special 4pin connector. Two different types of passive LED projectors can
be connected:
A. LED Projectors with a special 4pin connector (ex. LED STRIP):
This is the easiest way to
make the connections. Fix
all projectors properly and
daisy chain their in/output
cables until you reach the
maximum allowed load. Make sure to fasten the plastic ring of the connector.
Example: you can connect up to fifteen "1m LED STRIP" on each output cable (total = 30m!)
B. LED Projectors with open wires (ex. LED GROUND LIGHT):
In this case we suggest to take a 1m extension cable (with
special male/female 4pin connectors) and to cut the female
connector. Now you can easily strip the cable. You will find 4
colored wires inside:
• White wire: This is the common wire (anode)
• Red wire: This the power for the red LEDs (max. 50W)
• Green wire: This the power for the green LEDs (max. 50W)
