CONSOLE DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES
The TL-5024 is a 24 channel lighting control console
which includes advanced features such as multiple
scene banks, softpatching, multiple user
programmable chases, and a LCD Status Display.
The TL-5024 may be powered by the dimmers it is
controlling which eliminates the need for nearby AC
power. The unit may also be powered by an external
power supply (Required for DMX only operation).
The TL-5024 transmits the LMX-128 multiplex lighting
control protocol. This signal is compatible with other
industry standard multiplex signals. The unit can
optionally be factory equipped to transmit the USITT
DMX-512 protocol. The DMX-512 option can be
factory retrofitted to existing units.
The TL-5024 transmits 256 channels of DMX-512
and 64 channels of LMX-128.
INSTALLATION
The TL-5024 control console should be kept away
from moisture and direct sources of heat.
LMX CONNECTIONS
Connect the unit to a Lightronics (or compatible)
dimmer using a multiplex control cable with 3 pin XLR
connectors. The TL-5024 is powered by the dimmer
which it is connected to. It may also be powered via
an optional external power supply. The unit will
operate with dimmers in both the NSI/SUNN and
Lightronics modes. All dimmers connected to the unit
MUST be in the SAME mode.
DMX CONNECTIONS
Connect the unit to a DMX dimmer using a control
cable with 5 pin XLR connectors. The DMX-512
connection does NOT provide console power
therefore an external power supply (provided with
units having DMX option) must be used. There is
more information about external power supplies at
the end of this manual.
