EUROLIGHT LC2412
+Attention: Storing data on a storage location that already contains some data automatically replaces this data. Similarly, the data on the console’s memory is replaced when you transmit the data from the memory card. If you wish to keep this data, make sure to first store it to a memory card.
+Since the LC2412 uses its own data format, once you format a memory card on it, you can no longer read this card on a PC!
7.7 Adjusting differing illumination levels
The EUROLIGHT LC2412 lets you adjust illumination levels of various lighting elements to one another so they better match each other. This lets you increase illumination levels of lighting elements whose illumination is insufficient for a specific fader position. In that case, the lighting element whose illumination level was insufficient shines sufficiently brightly.
Program this setting by doing the following:
1.Press UTILITY 1.
2.Select the “MORE” option using SOFT B.
3.Select “SELECT CURVE” using SOFT A.
4.The display now shows in its upper left portion the channel, to its right the status “LINEAR” (standard setting) or “CURVE” (increase). You can now set up the desired setting for this channel by using SOFT A or SOFT B.
5.By using the DATA wheel you can select the desired channel.
6.Complete the programming procedure by pressing QUIT.
7.8Erasing all settings/ displaying software version
To erase all programmed settings and start from scratch, do the following:
1.Press and keep pressed the SOFT A and SOFT B keys. Then press the FLASH 1 key. The software version is shown in the display.Die
2.“DELETE ALL” appears in the display, along with the “YES” option. Select this option with SOFT B.

3.We have created an additional step for your safety. Use the Soft A (“NO”) or Soft B (“YES”) keys located under the respective options to select one or the other. Selecting “YES” erases all memories and stored chases. In doing so, all settings relevant to the console’s functions are reset to their factory settings (SOLO ALL ENABLED, CURVE ALL LINEAR).
8. DIMMER CONTROL

8.1 Analog control
In addition to the modern DMX512 interface, you can control your EUROLIGHT LC2412’s dimmers using the conventional analog
outputs (ANALOG OUT 
, 0 - 10 V DC). However, this lets you control only twelve dimmer channels plus two special channels (only “0 Volts” or “10 Volts”).
+Whenever possible, use a multicore cable to connect your LC2412 to the dimmer rack, and apportion the cable to individual dimmer packs only once the cable reaches the rack.
8.1.1 Controlling analog dimmers via DMX512
What at first seems like an error is in reality a very useful feature: By using a
The advantage of such a configuration is apparent: you can address the demultiplexer freely, that is, it can for example begin with channel 12 and therefore convert control commands from console channels 13 - 24 into analog signals (DMX channel 0 is controlled
8.2Digital control via DMX512
8.2.1Digital control features
The EUROLIGHT LC2412 features a modern digital interface according to the DMX512 Digital Data Transmission Standard For Dimmers And Controllers, that was established in April 1990 by the USITT Engineering Commission (United States Institute for Theatre Technology, Inc.). Since virtually all modern equipment
