Lighting Control Engine - Device Overview

Designed to control large and complex projects, the Lighting Control Engine (LCE) is a high performance server with the e:cue software suite pre-installed. As a central control unit this versatile lighting control server orchestrates all devices and fixtures within a project. The LCE is able to output DMX/RDM, e:net, and other protocols such as KiNet and ArtNet. This and the capability to integrate various audio/video, external triggering as well as other devices and content, the LCE is the ultimate solution for the most demanding projects. A built-in touch- screen monitor on the front panel of the attractive, durable aluminum casing provides user interaction with custom graphic user interface designs. The LCE can be mounted in a 19-inch rack.

Lighting Control Engine - Important Notes

Only use the device in compliance with the environmental conditions specified in the LCE data sheet.

Operate the server only in environments having a low dust content in the ambient air.

To prevent the device from overheating, only operate it in well-ventilated environment. The LCE ventilation slots may not be obstructed.

4.1 Safety instructions

4. Important Notes

Actions described in this manual may only be performed with special care by skilled personnel.

LCE repairs may only be carried out by authorized, specially trained personnel. When in doubt, contact e:cue service.

Device components can reach high temperatures.

8

4.2 Transport

Lighting Control Engine - Important Notes

Only transport the LCE in its original packaging. This protects the server from damage.

Only unpack the LCE at its installation location.

To protect the device against condensation water, unpack it and wait until all moisture remaining in the LCE has evaporated. Condensation can occur when the device is moved from a cold to a warm location.

4.3 Cleaning

To clean the device, disconnect it from the line power supply. Disconnect all devices connected to the server.

Depending on the operating environment, the server interior must be cleaned. This cleaning may only be carried out by skilled personnel.

Do not use any cleaning agents containing solvents (e.g. acetone, alcohol or thinner) or abrasives.

The housing surface and touch-screen can be cleaned with a moist, lint-free cloth. Ensure that no water penetrates into the housing. Otherwise, this could damage the electronics.

9

Lighting Control Engine - Commissioning

Ensure that the server rack is sufficiently ventilated.

5. Commissioning5.1 Inspect the delivery scope

Unpack the LCE and inspect all parts for completeness (see also Chapter 2). Keep the packaging for use in case of further transport. If there is apparent damage to the device or parts are missing from the delivery scope, please contact e:cue service.

5.2 Set up the deviceYou can use the LCE as a desktop or rack-mounted device. As delivered, the server is configured as a desktop device. The hardware for mounting in a 19" rack is included in the delivery scope. To mount in a rack, fasten the rack brackets and 19" installation brackets to the server. Then, fasten the brackets to the front and rear of the server rack.

5.4 Switching on/off

- In case of desktop operation, place a non-slip pad beneath the server. This prevents damage to the server and the installation location.

- Do not obstruct the ventilation slots.

- There must be at least 10 cm distance to other devices or objects.

- Do not stack several devices on top of each other, otherwise this could lead to overheating.

- Install the server in a location where the device is protected against dust, heat, moisture and vibration.

- Only install the device in a vertical position. All other operating modes are prohibited.

Initial start upConnect your devices to the server and connect with the line power supply. Once the line power supply is connected, the LCE switches on automatically. The front LED indicators light up in green. Red blinking of the LEDs indicates hard drive activity. You can now see on the touch-screen that the server has started.

Switching on againFor normal switching on of power, press the On switch on the left side of the LCE.

Normal switching offOnly switch off power to the LCE by shutting down the operating system. Disconnecting the operating voltage can lead a loss of data.

Switching off in case of errorIf the operating system does not respond, press the Off switch on the LCE and keep pressed until the LCE switches itself off.

Lighting Control Engine - System Configuration

6. System ConfigurationAll steps shown here relate to the English version of Microsoft® Windows 7™. If you have a different language version, it is possible that expressions change. The default language of the operating system is English.

6.1 Touch-screen calibration

Open the menu in task bar and right-click on the "Touchmon" icon.

12


Click on "4 points calibration"; a window opens for calibrating the touch-screen. Follow the instructions on the screen.

To change the network address of one of the installed network cards, click on the "Start" icon and enter "Connections" in the search box.

6.2 Changing the computer's network address

13

Select "View network connections" in the hit list.

You now see all available connections. Right-click on the desired connection and select "Properties".


14


In this open window click on "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)", then press the "Properties" button.

Enter the appropriate address for the network. Confirm your input by clicking on the "OK" button. You can close all windows now. The network connection is now configured.

15


Start "Programmer Enterprise 5".

Click on "Extras" and select "Application Options".

6.3 Adjust the programmer's network settings

16


In the menu, under the "Advanced" tab, you can specify which network card the programmer software e:net should output to. You can also specify this setting for the "ArtNet" and "KiNet" protocols. e:cue recommends only outputting one protocol per network card.

17

6.4 Performing maintenance


This section contains instructions for maintaining the server hardware. Consult with e:cue before performing any of this work. Work on the server may only be performed by trained personnel and in compliance with the ESD guidelines. Non-compliance can cause damage to the system.

Open the server housingTo open the housing, remove the LCE from the 19" rack if necessary. Unfasten the six screws. The red cover can now be taken off as shown.
