2.0 GETTING CONNECTED
2.1 MAINS INPUT
An IEC Mains Input socket is located on the rear panel and a mains power lead is provided. The
MINIM has an internal power supply that will operate on voltages between 190 volts and 260 volts
AC with a frequency range from 47 to 63 HZ. 110 volt models are available direct from the factory.
Plug the mains lead into the MAINS INPUT socket and connect it to a source of mains power. A
Power Switch located next to the Mains Input connector allows you to switch the MINIM off and on
without removing the mains lead. The Mains Input socket is fused with a M205 sized 500mA fuse.
2.2 DMX512 OUTPUT
The MINIM transmits a digital signal based on the DMX512/1990 standard.
The output of the MINIM is DMX512-A “ready”. DMX-512A is an upgrade of the standard that is still
under development.
Connect a DMX512 data cable from the 5 pin AXR style connector on the rear panel to the
DMX512 input of your equipment. Set the required DMX512 start address on your equipment.
At this point, with the mains power and DMX512 connected, the MINIM is ready to be operated.
Simply switch on the “POWER” switch located near the Mains Input connector. The MINIM will
commence its start up procedure and will then commence operating in exactly the same state that it
was in when it was last switched off. All the Scenes and Chases will be as they were.
Hint; If you are starting a new lighting session, LSC recommends that you perform a “RESET” of the
MINIM. This will ERASE all previously recorded memories and will prevent you being confused by
previous recordings and settings. If you need to keep your memories, save them to the optional plug-
in memory module.
You are now ready to start controlling your lights!
