1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you very much for the confidence you have placed in us by purchasing the EUROLIGHT LC2412. You now own an outstanding, ultra-compact light mixing console, that features the state-of-the-art digital DMX512 control. In addition, your LC2412 is equipped with an analog output which allows to use it virtually in every environment you can think of. The design of the LC2412 (how it operates and how it is programmed) was constructed with controlling dimmer packs and standard spotlights in mind. To optimally use multi-function spotlights such as scanners and moving heads, you should use control consoles specifically created for this purpose.

This user’s manual is designed to give you an overview of all the controls, so that you get to know all possible applications the LC2412 offers. General safety instructions are followed by a structured overview of the control panel. Afterwards, all functions of your LC2412 are described in detail.

Future-minded BEHRINGER technology

To allow for the highest possible level of operational safety, we manufacture our equipment under the highest quality standards in the industry.

Your LC2412 has been manufactured under ISO9000 certified management system.

+The following user’s manual is intended to familiarize you with the unit’s control elements, so that you can master all the functions. After having thoroughly read the user’s manual, store it at a safe place for future reference.

1.1 Before you get started

1.1.1 Shipment

The LC2412 was carefully packed at the assembly plant to assure secure transport. Should the condition of the cardboard box suggest that damage may have taken place, please inspect the unit immediately and look for physical indications of damage.

+Damaged units should NEVER be sent directly to us. Please inform the dealer from whom you acquired the unit immediately as well as the transportation company from which you took delivery of the unit. Otherwise, all claims for replacement/repair may be rendered invalid.

1.1.2 Initial operation

Please make sure the unit is provided with sufficient ventilation, and never place the EUROLIGHT on top of an amplifier or in the vicinity of a heater to avoid the risk of overheating.

+Before plugging the unit into a power socket, please make sure you have selected the correct voltage:

The fuse compartment near the power plug socket contains three triangular markings. Two of these triangles are opposite one another. The voltage indicated adjacent to these markings is the voltage to which your unit has been set up, and can be altered by rotating the fuse compartment by 180°. ATTENTION: This does not apply to export models that were for example manufactured only for use with 120 V!

+If you alter the unit’s voltage, you must change the fuses accordingly. The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter “TECHNICAL DATA”.

+Faulty fuses must be replaced with fuses of appropriate rating without exception! The correct value of the fuses needed can be found in the chapter “TECHNICAL DATA”.

Power is delivered via the cable enclosed with the unit. All requiered safety precautions have been adhered to.

+Please make sure that the unit is grounded at all times. For your own protection, you should never tamper with the grounding of the cable or the unit itself.

1.1.3 Warranty

Please take a few minutes and send us the completely filled out warranty card within 14 days of the date of purchase. You may also register online at www.behringer.com. The serial number needed for the registration is located at the top of the unit. Failure to register your product may void future warranty claims.

1.2 The user’s manual

The user’s manual is designed to give you both an overview of the controls, as well as detailed information on how to use them. In order to help you understand the links between the controls, we have arranged them in groups according to their function. If you need to know more about specific issues, please visit our website at http://www.behringer.com.

1.3 General features and functions

“LC2412” means: 24 preset channels and 12 memory channels. But that’s hardly all: You can simultaneously control 78 dimmer channels via the DMX512 digital interface (26 console channels x 3 DMX channels). And because several light units can be operated on a single dimmer channel, this console gives you a plethora of mixing possibilities.
