DMX OPERATION 
 
If the DMX option is installed in the TL-4008 then it will transmit both DMX and LMX signals simultaneously. 
The DMX-512 connection does NOT provide console power therefore an external power supply (provided with 
units having DMX option) must be used. 
 
QUICK START INSTRUCTIONS 
 
The bottom cover of the TL-4008 contains brief instructions for using scenes and chases. The instructions are not 
intended as a substitute for this manual and should be viewed as "reminders" for operators who are already 
familiar with TL-4008 operation. 
 
MAINTENANCE AND REPAIR 
 
TROUBLESHOOTING 
 
Check that the multiplex cable is not defective. 
To simplify troubleshooting - reset the unit to provide a known set of conditions. 
Make sure the dimmer address switches are set to the desired channels. 
 
OWNER MAINTENANCE 
 
The best way to prolong the life of your TL-4008 is to keep it dry, cool, clean and covered when not in use. 
 
The unit exterior may be cleaned using a soft cloth dampened with a mild detergent/water mixture or a mild spray-
on type cleaner. DO NOT SPRAY ANY LIQUID directly on the unit. DO NOT IMMERSE the unit in any liquid or 
allow liquid to get into the controls. DO NOT USE any solvent based or abrasive cleaners on the unit. 
 
The faders are not cleanable. If you use a cleaner in them – it will remove the lubrication from the sliding 
surfaces. Once this happens it is not possible to re-lubricate them. 
 
The white strips above the faders are not covered by the TL-4008 warranty. If you mark on them with any 
permanent ink, paint etc. it is likely that you will be unable to remove the markings without damaging the strips. 
 
There are no user serviceable parts in the unit. Service by other than Lightronics authorized agents will void your 
warranty.
