Instruction Manual
LCRC48GEP DMX RELAYCONTROLLER Configuration 
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
1 - 
Ensure that relay panel power is off (no indicator LEDs 
glowing on the system motherboard). Remove the metal 
cardframe cover. 
2 - 
Connect the DMX data line at the panel motherboard, with D- 
to the black terminal and D+ to the red terminal. Attach the 
shield drain wire to the SHIELD terminal. 
3 - 
If the DMX line is to be passed through to another panel, 
attach the outgoing wires to the second set of data terminals. 
4 - 
If the relay panel is the last panel on the DMX wire run, it is 
recommended that a 100 or 120 ohm 1/4W termination 
resistor be installed between one pair of black and red data 
line terminals. 
5 - 
Connect switch wiring to the A/B master switch input terminals 
as required. The white terminal is switch common, the red is 
switch "on", and black is switch "off". Connect the pilot lamp to 
the yellow terminal adjacent to the first of the assigned relays. 
6 - 
Plug the controller card and one to four LCRD-12 driver cards 
firmly into the cardframe. 
7 - 
Configure the controller card according to the following DIP 
switch settings. Restore power. 
8 - 
Check that the power LED (between the DIP switch and the 
three rotary switches) is glowing steadily. This indicates +5 
volts present and correct microprocessor operation. A flashing 
LED indicates a defective controller card. 
9 - 
Follow the program mode instructions to program the card for 
optional DMX patch assignment and panel master switch 
inputs. 
10- 
Apply the DMX control signal and observe that the receive 
data LED (at left) is glowing. The LED will not glow if the 
address set on the rotary switches exceeds either 512 or the 
number of dimmer signals present on the data line, if the data 
format does not conform to USITT-DMX512, or if the data 
wires are reversed at the mother board. 
11- 
Verify relay operation with the DMX control system or the 
card's test function, then use the checklist to ensure that 
everything is set correctly before re-installing the cardframe 
cover.
