INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS EUROLIGHT LD6230
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
DETAILED SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS: 1) Read these instructions. 2) Keep these instructions. 3) Heed all warnings. 4) Follow all instructions. CAUTION: The units installation and initial operation must be done under the supervision of a qualified professional. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover (or the rear section). No user serviceable parts inside; refer servicing to qualified personnel. To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this appliance to rain and moisture. 5) Do not use this device near water. 6) Clean only with a dry cloth. 7) Do not block any ventilation openings. Install in accordance with the manufacturers instructions. 8) Do not install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat. 9) Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet. 10) Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, extension cords, and the point at which they exit the unit. 11) Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer. 12) Use only with the cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table specified by the manufacturer, or sold with the device. When a cart is used, use caution when moving the cart/ device combination to avoid injury from stumbling over it.

WARNING:

This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to the presence of uninsulated dangerous voltage inside the enclosurevoltage that may be sufficient to constitute a risk of shock.
This symbol, wherever it appears, alerts you to important operating and maintenance instructions in the accompanying literature. Please read the manual.
13) Unplug this device during lightning storms or when not used for long periods of time. 14) Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the unit has been damaged in any way, such as power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the device, the unit has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.
The BEHRINGER EUROLIGHT LD6230 Dimmer Pack was developed to meet the highest demands of light engineering. Its wide-ranging functions make it an all-purpose workhorse for various commercial applications (TV studios, theatre or live events). The EUROLIGHT LD6230 has all the important features needed to control your lighting equipment, yet its controls are clearly arranged and simple to use. You can select between digital DMX or analog control. You get trouble-free operation with the extensive LEDs used for signal error detection.
SAFETY AND INITIAL OPERATION
As soon as you connect your LD6230 to the mains, internal controls are activated. The six automated fuses (circuit breakers) can all handle 10 A and serve as overload protection for the connected equipment. Please keep in mind that activating circuit breakers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6 also means that the respective channels can conduct voltage.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Electronic controls are additionally protected with triple highsensitivity fuses located on the main board.
Installation as well as initial operation must be performed by qualified personnel. Always assure that your LD6230 is completely disconnected from the mains before removing the casing cover. The LD6230 was designed for indoor use only. Please keep in mind that sudden temperature changes (e.g. bringing your equipment from colder environments into warmer environments) may cause condensation on electronic components, leading to possible equipment damage and physical harm to the operator. Please adhere to all applicable national safety standards during installation. Please read the installation instructions and the enclosed users manual in their entirety to familiarize yourself with the LD6230 and all of its functions. Please follow all instructions and store both the installation instructions and the manual in a safe place for future reference. Please assure that your EUROLIGHT is sufficiently cooled and that it is not placed near heat sources that could cause overheating. If you want to run your EUROLIGHT on mains voltage other than factory-specified voltage, contact the nearest BEHRINGER service center. To effectively limit harmonic currents and avoid voltage fluctuations that could affect other electrical appliances, connect this equipment to an AC outlet that complies with all applicable technical standards. In all other cases, contact your local power supply provider for advice prior to usage.
Defective fuses must be replaced with fuses with identical rating!
The LD6230 is a Class I device in which a low-Ohm protective ground wire is an integral part of its safety design. During the installation, make sure that a low-Ohm protective conductor (< 0,1 Ohm) exists between all bare metal parts and the grounding on the main connector.

CONNECTOR TERMINAL STRIP

The connector terminal strip of your LD6230 is laid out for cables with diameters between 0.326 mm 2 (AWG 22) and 4 mm2 (AWG 12). When using flexible access lines, cable end contacts corresponding to manufacturer specifications have to be used. To assure good contact, skin the cable endings between 9 - 13 mm. During the installation, all applicable national standards need to be adhered to.
MAINS/ILLUMINANT CONNECTORS
To facilitate additional flexibility, your dimmer pack has a connector terminal strip. Cable bushings for connecting to the mains and your illuminants are located in the back. Flexibility is further enhanced with the option to retrofit a CEE connector and a 16-pin HARTING connector. Both fixed and mobile installations require compliance with IEC 61010-1:2001 (EN 6110-1:2001). In particular, a 3-phase separator (pursuant IEC60947-1 and IEC60947-3) needs to be included in the installation. This separator needs to be labeled according to IEC 60417-50008 and IEC 0417-5007. To assure compliance with Directive 89/336/EEC, only use specified upstream line filters with your EUROLIGHT. Using it without line filters specified by BEHRINGER may lead to electromagnetic interference. More detailed information on this subject can be found at www.behringer.com.

Illustration: LD6230 connector terminal strip When your LD6230 leaves the assembly plant, all incoming and outgoing neutral conductor connectors are bridged. The incoming phases L1/L1, L2/L2 and L3/L3 are always connected to one another in pairs and switched to the overload protection of the channels 1 to 6. They protect output connectors E1 to E6. Each of the channels can handle currents of maximum 10 Amperes. The green-yellow conductors (PE) may only be used as protective conductors.
The lowest cable gauge between L1 and L3, incoming neutral conductor (N) and protective earth (PE) is 4 mm 2 (AWG 12). For outgoing channels E1 to E6, use cables with gauges corresponding to the loads used (2.5 mm2 (AWG 14) or 1.5 mm2 (AWG 16)).

During the installation, please adhere to all manufacturer instructions. Regardless from mains supply voltage, the maximum output current of the EUROLIGHT LD6230 is 10 A per dimmer circle. Please make sure that each dimmer load is connected to a separate channel. Never connect more than one output to just one common neutral conductor. ATTENTION: Due to electrocution danger, do not use your dimmer pack if there are bare cables visible.
CEE connector pin allocation
Removable mains connector cables with mains interconnections (pursuant IEC60320) must match the minimal load-carrying capacity of the connector or must comply with the IEC60799 standard. The interconnection and the cable must comply with prevalent nominal values (maximal voltage and current). During the installation, please adhere to the instructions provided by the connector manufacturer.
CONNECTION OPTIONS FOR FLEXIBLE USAGE
OUTPUT CONNECTOR (HARTING) In the back of your LD6230 there is a cable bushing for connecting your illuminants. Open the flap on the top of the LD6230 to get to the terminal clamps used for this purpose. Here you have the option to retrofit a 16-pin HARTING connector. To do that, you first have to remove the back-bearing cover sheet and connect the HARTING connector to the terminal clamps.
