THE BASIC FEATURES OF AN EASY SET-UP
1. MOUNTING THE DEVICE
LumiNode 4 is a device that can be mounted in a truss as well as in a rack. Please read
the following instructions to make sure the device is mounted and secured correctly.
1.1 Rack mount
In case you want to mount your LumiNode 4 in a standard 19 inch rack, you first have
to attach the included mounting ears. Connect the longest ear (A) to right hand side
of the device with 4 screws, re-used from the device. Attach the shorter ear (B) to the
left hand side again with the 4 screws . In this way the input connector nicely lines up
with the inputs from possible other devices in the rack.

1.2 Rack mount - two devices
In case you want to mount two LumiNode 4 devices in a standard 19-inch rack you
can mount the two devices together. In space saving way that the two devices will
only consume a single row in your 19-inch rack.
First you attach the shortest mounting ears. Connect the shortest ear (C) to the
left-hand side of the first device with 4 screws, re-used from the device. Attach the
other shortest ear (D), delivered with the second device, to the right-hand side again
with 4 screws. Use a pair of mounting brackets (E) to connect the two devices in the
middle on the frontside. Use a second pair of mounting brackets (E), delivered with
the second device, to connect the devices at the rear. Each pair of brackets musts be
mounted with 2 screws.

To combine a LumiNode 4 device with a Luminex half 19”device, style Gigacore 10,
the mounting procedure differs a little. The bolt (F), not included, replaces the rear
couplers at the rear side of the device. Use the correct bold, M10x20, with a screw wire
no longer as 20mm. You can order this part from Luminex (Part Number: R 90 01042)
Screw the bolt, through the LumiNode 4 back ear, into the side M10 insert and tighten
it. The rest of the mounting procedure remains the same.

1.3 Truss Mount – LumiNode 4
To mount a LumiNode 4 in a truss, you must attach a 10M clamp (G) to the M10 insert
(H). After that, you can mount the clamp to the truss bars. Please also secure the
device by attaching a safety line directly to the truss bars as well (I).
1.4 Truss Mount – LumiNode 2
To mount a LumiNode 2 in a truss, use the two plastic tie wraps that are included.
Bring on each side a tie wrap through holes of the device, around the truss bar and
tighten it (J). Please also secure the device by attaching a safety line directly to the
truss bars as well (K).

1.5 Wall Mount – LumiNode 2
The LumiNode 2 can be mounted to a concrete or wood wall by using applicable
screws and anchors. Make sure that the screw head diameter is between 8 – 10mm
and the screw length is at least 40mm in order to make a strong wall connection.
Drill 4 holes, at the correct distance in both directions as indicated in the picture
on the next page (L). Mount the device in such way that the Ethernet and DMX
ports are facing sideways, and the chassis side is perpendicular to the ground.

2. POWER UP THE DEVICE
Depending on the model there are different ways to power your device:
LumiNode1: Power-up the device with a USB cable (U) or with PoE (N). The
device will automatically switch on. To shut it down after use, just un-plug
the USB cable or the network cable again.
Luminode2: Power-up the device with a network cable with PoE (N). The
device will automatically switch on. To shut it down after use, just un-plug
the network cable again.
LumiNode4 and 12: Power-up the device with a power cable fitted with a
Neutrik PowerCON TRUE1 connector (M) (please contact your local dealer if
you don’t have a suitable power cable at hand). The device will automatically
switch on. To shut it down after use, just un-plug the power cable again.
Alternatively, the LumiNode series are 802.3af compliant (PoE), so that each LumiNode
will act as a PD (Powered Device), and can be powered by any compliant PSE (Power
Sourcing Equipment) such as Ethernet switch, midspan and PoE injector.
For LumiNode 4 and 12, if both 230V and PoE are used the 230V supply will be
prioritized but the PoE will seamlessly take over the running if the 230V fails.
The LumiNode12 offers the option to daisy chain up to 30 devices via the PowerCON
TRUE1 outlet on the rear of the unit.
