5. Setup
5.1 Mounting
The fixture can be mounted in various positions (floor, truss, wall) using the provided mounting accessories. Ensure the mounting surface or truss is capable of supporting the weight of the fixture(s).
- Attach appropriate clamps to the mounting points on the base of the fixture.
- Secure the fixture to a truss or other stable structure.
- Always use a safety cable, independently secured, to prevent the fixture from falling in case of primary mounting failure.
5.2 Power Connection
Connect the included power cable to the PowerCON input on the fixture and then to a suitable power outlet. The PowerCON output can be used to daisy-chain power to additional fixtures (ensure total current draw does not exceed circuit limits).
5.3 DMX Connection
For DMX control, connect a DMX controller to the DMX IN port of the first fixture using a 3-pin XLR DMX cable. Connect the DMX OUT of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next fixture in the chain, and so on. Terminate the last fixture in the DMX chain with a 120-ohm DMX terminator.
6. Operating Modes
The LM0740D offers multiple operating modes to suit various control preferences and applications.
6.1 DMX Control
This mode allows for precise control over all fixture functions using an external DMX controller. The LM0740D supports 23, 35, or 51 DMX channels. Refer to the DMX chart in the full manual for detailed channel assignments.
- Set the desired DMX address using the LCD display and menu buttons.
- Select the appropriate DMX channel mode (23CH, 35CH, or 51CH) via the menu.
- Connect your DMX controller as described in Section 5.3.
6.2 Master-Slave Mode
Link multiple LM0740D fixtures to operate synchronously without a DMX controller. One fixture acts as the master, controlling the others (slaves).
- Connect the DMX OUT of the master fixture to the DMX IN of the first slave fixture, and continue the chain.
- Set the master fixture to an automatic or sound-activated mode.
- Set all slave fixtures to 'Slave' mode via their LCD menus.
6.3 Sound Activation Mode
