3. DMX input: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables. This input receives
instructions from any DMX-controller.
4. DMX output: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the LD-POWER with the next unit in the DMX
chain or with another LD-POWER60/120.
5. LED ZONE1: output to the LED fixtures. Please note that only LED fixtures of our LD-series can be
connected properly! LD-POWER60 has only 1 LED-zone output, LD-POWER120 has 2 independent
LED-zone outputs. Each zone supports a maximum load as explained below:
RGB-MODE (Mode3 + 4): 12 LEDs maximum for each color (12R + 12G + 12B)
RGBW-MODE (Mode1 + 2): 12 LEDs maximum for each color (12R + 12G + 12B + 12W)
WHITE MODE (Mode5 + 6 +7): 4 circuits, each supporting max. 12 LEDs (total max. 48pcs)
6. LED ZONE2: only available on LD-POWER120, can be controlled complete independent from zone1.
FUNCTIONS
(FRONT)
7. DMX LED: is lit when a DMX signal is detected on the input.
8. MASTER LED: is lit when no cable is connected to the DMX-input, the unit
works in master mode and shows the last selected internal show. (see later)
9. SLAVE LED: is lit when the DMX input is connected to another LD-
POWER60/120 that works in master mode.
10. POWER LED: is lit when the mains cable is inserted and the unit is working.
11. DISPLAY: 4-digit display, gives information on the selected functions.
12. MENU BUTTON: press this button shortly to access the setup menu. Press
this button for about 2seconds to leave the setup menu and save the selected
options.
13. DOWN BUTTON: press this button to go to the previous item in the setup
menu or lower the value shown on the display.
14. UP BUTTON: press this button to go to the next item in the setup menu or
increase the value shown on the display.
15. ENTER BUTTON: press this button to confirm your selection in the setup menu.
INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING
Important: The installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the
regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
The LD-POWER60/120 should be fixed on a non-flammable flat surface. For
example you can fix the unit against a wall using two adapted screws. The
orientation is not important but make sure that enough ventilation is available.
! VERY IMPORTANT – READ IT BEFORE YOU CALL FOR HELP !
Make sure the unit is not connected to the mains during installation and
wiring!
The LD-POWER power supplies are intended only for use with passive
LED projectors from our LD-series.
Make sure the maximum load per LED output zone is not exceeded!
The maximum cable length between the LD-POWER output and all connected projectors is
80meters!
At the end of each line (zone) NO RJ45 connector can be left open, you
MUST use a terminator (LD-TERM RJ-45) otherwise: NO light !
RGB and RGBW projectors can NOT be mixed in the same line (zone).
2 different LED projectors exist: TYPE1 needs a splitter box to be
connected, TYPE2 not!
Electrical installation LED projector outputs:
The passive LED projectors from our LD-series use CAT5e cables and RJ45 connectors to connect them to
the LD-POWER power supplies. You can use our standard cables ("LD-PATCH RJ45", available in different
lengths) but you can also make your own cables with CAT5e cable and RJ45 connectors you can buy from
any computer shop. However we like to warn you that
making your own cables is not easy and requires special
tools and some experience! The cables should be wired

LED-projectors is 80meters.

IMPORTANT: not all LED-projectors are connected the same way, two different types are used:
TYPE 1: these LED-projectors always have a small cable with RJ45 connector attached. For example:
LD-AQUA, LD-BAR, LD-UPLIGHT, ...
If you connect more than one projector to the LD-POWER, you should always use a splitter! Two
different splitters are available:
o LD-SPLIT RJ45: used for normal indoor applications (ex. LD-BAR)
o LD-SPLIT IP68: used for waterproof outdoor applications (ex. LD-AQUA, LD-UPLIGHT)
TYPE 2: these LED-projectors always have two female RJ45 connectors (in/out). For example: LD-
BRICK, LD-DOWNLIGHT, ...
You can simply daisychain these projectors with standard patch cables.
Example of an installation
Electrical installation DMX-inputs:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
"daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality balanced cable.
Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these
cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5
not used.
To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a
90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won't work!
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Each unit in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode. In the next section you will learn how to set the DMX addresses.
