Important! Do not throw away the protective shock-absorbing materials from the flightcase when you
unpack panels. The protective materials will be needed when panels are repacked in the
flightcase.
Using for the first time
Before applying power to the panel:
• Carefully review “Safety Information” on page 3.
• Check that the local AC power voltage is within the ranges listed on the serial number label and in “Power
and fuses” on page .12
• To supply the panel with power, use the supplied power cable or install an Amphenol C016 20 D 003 100
12 connector on a UL-listed, minimum 16 AWG or 1.5 mm2 SJT (or better) power cable as described in
“Power connection” on page .13
LC Plus flightcases
Important! To ensure that LC Plus panels can withstand the shocks
that normally occur during transport, they must be
packed in a Martin flightcase and transported in an
upright position following the instructions in the
flightcase (see Figure 2). Damage caused to panels that
are incorrectly packed or exposed to abnormal shocks is
not covered by the product warranty.
When removing panels from the flightcase, keep all protective
material for use when repacking.
Important! Transport and store flightcases standing in an upright
position only. Do not transport flightcases lying flat on
their side.

Physical installation
Warning! Read “Safety Information” on page 3 before installing the LC Plus.
Warning! The safety and suitabilit installation locatioy of lifting equipment, n, anchoring method,
mounting hardware and electrical installation is the responsibility of the installer. All local
safety regulations and legal requirements must be observed when installing and connecting the
LC Plus.
Warning! Installation must be carried out by qualified professionals only. Contact your Martin
supplier for assistance if you have any questions about how to install this product safely.
Warning! The surface of the heatsink in the base of the panel can become hot during normal
operation. Install so as to prevent accidental contact by members of the public.
Warning! Use two conical couplers to fasten a panel to a supporting structure or to another
panel. When lifting a panel, use two conical couplers as attachment points for lifting gear. Do
not use only one conical coupler or any other method to suspend, lift or attach panels. Do not
use the ventilation holes in the top rail or the LED tubes as attachment points.
Warning! Secure every panel with two safety cables that are approved for the weight they secure
and installed as described in this manual.
Warning! When stacking panels one on top of another or suspending panels one from another,
do not exceed the limits given in Figure 3. If an installation needs to be taller than the limits
given in Figure 3, additional support points must be provided to bear the weight of the
additional panels.
Warning! When stacking panels, secure them so that they cannot tip or fall.
The LC Plus can be installed in a standing position alone or stacked, flown in a vertical curtain or
suspended in any orientation from a truss or supporting structure.

AC power
Warning! The safety of the installation is the responsibility of the installer. Read “Safety
Information” on page 3 before creating an installation or connecting an LC Plus panel to AC
mains power. Disconnect the entire installation from power before carrying out installation
work.
Warning! A maximum of FIVE LC Plus 2140 panels in total or TEN LC Plus 1140 panels in total
may be interconnected using power throughput connectors to form one chain that draws power
via the first panel’s power input cable. If you do not respect these limits you will overload cables
and components and create a serious safety hazard. Each time you reach the maximum
permitted number of interconnected panels in one daisy-chain and want to supply more panels
with power, you must create a new daisy-chain that draws power from a separate power outlet.
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the panel must be grounded (earthed). Power
distribution circuits must be fitted with a current overload fuse or circuit breaker and
ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Warning! When connecting LC Plus panels to single-phase power, use the supplied
single-phase power input and throughput cables with black connector shells. When connecting
to 2-phase power, use the supplied 2-phase power input and throughput cables with blue
connector shells.
Warning! LC Plus panels do not have a power on/off switch. They are powered on as soon as
mains power is applied to the power input connector and remain powered on until mains power
is shut down at source or disconnected from the panel. The external power switch or power
outlet socket must be located near the LC Plus and easily accessible so that power to the LC
Plus can easily be shut down or disconnected if necessary.
Important! Connect the panels in the installation and the P3 controller to AC mains power at the
same outlet point in the power distribution circuit, or you may experience ground/earth loop
problems or create differences in potential that can damage devices. Damage caused by
differences in potential if devices are incorrectly connected to power is not covered by the
product warranty.
Power and fuses
Warning! Fuses are not user-replaceable. Contact Martin Professional for assistance if you
suspect that a fuse has blown.
Warning! Double pole/neutral fusing.
The LC Plus features an auto-sensing switch-mode power supply that accepts 200-240 V nominal AC mains
power at 50 or 60 Hz. Connect the panel to power that is within this voltage range only.
The LC Plus can be connected to mains power in either:
• a single-phase 200-240 VAC system, or in
• a 3-phase delta system or split-phase mid-point neutral system using two phases to obtain 200-240 VAC.
Power and current figures are given in “Typical power and current” on page 25. Allow a sensible safety
margin when calculating the AC mains power distribution circuits current headroom required for an LC Plus
installation.
Each LC Plus 2140 panel is protected by one 10 AT (slow-blow) main fuse when connected using the
supplied single-phase power cables and protected by two 10 AT (slow-blow) main fuses when connected
using the supplied 2-phase power cables. Fuses are not user-replaceable.
Inrush current
Inrush current peaks are unlikely to occur at exactly the same time in multiple panel installations and only
have a duration of a few microseconds, but bear in mind that inrush current when powering on may cause
unintentional tripping of circuit-breakers, especially if these have poor resistance to momentary current
peaks.

16 LC Plus user manual
P3 communication link
LC Plus series panels communicate using the Martin™ P3™ signal format via Ethernet cable. The P3
signal contains both video data and command signals.
Each LC Plus panel has two RJ-45 Ethernet sockets (see A and B in Figure 1 on page 6) for connection to
the P3 link. All sockets are bi-directional, handling both P3 signal input and output.
Cable and connector types
Use good-quality CAT 5e or better STP (shielded twisted pair) Ethernet cable for the P3 link in an
installation with LC Plus panels. RJ-45 connectors should be shielded type, with the shield around the
connector terminals electrically connected to the cable shield.
The two Ethernet sockets on each panel are mounted in Amphenol IP67-rated reverse bayonet-mount
housings. For outdoor use, RJ-45 plugs installed in Amphenol RJF RB 6 housings (as supplied with the
panel) must be used at all times. Any unused sockets must be sealed with the cap attached to each socket.
For indoor use in dry locations, non IP-rated standard RJ-45 Ethernet connectors and patch cables may be
used.
Suitable IP67-rated and non IP-rated patch cables in various lengths and suitable connector housings are
available from Martin (see “Accessories” on page 26).
Planning the P3 link
Figure 11 shows an example of P3 system layout.
Media source
As a media source, we recommend the use of a product from the Martin™ Maxedia™ series. Maxedia
products offer fast processors, advanced features, DVI output and an intuitive user interface. Besides a
Maxedia media server/processor, any video camera or video source with an S-video, composite video or
component video output can be used as a video source.
P3 link requirements in large installations
A single P3-100 system controller can drive up to 400 LC Plus 2140 panels, up to 800 LC Plus 1140 panels,
or any combination within a limit of 500 000 pixels, provided that Ethernet switches are used to split and/or
amplify the P3 signal as described in this section.
Using Ethernet switches to split the link into chains
See Figure 11. If the LC Plus installation consists of more than 50 panels, you must first run the P3 signal
output from the P3-100 S GB Ethernet switch. Divide the panels into separate ystem Controller to a 1
daisy-chains with no more than 50 panels on any single chain, and use the outputs from the Ethernet switch
to send the P3 signal to each chain.
Figure 11 shows a 1 GB Ethernet switch on the P3 link as an example, but the switch is not necessary if
there are 50 panels or less in the installation.
Using Ethernet switches to extend the link
See Figure 11. The maximum permitted cable length between any two devices on the P3 link before a
signal amplifier is required is 100 m (328 ft.) if good quality Ethernet cable is used for the link. A 1 GB
Ethernet switch on the P3 link is an ideal signal amplifier. If the P3 link will exceed the 100 m cable length
limit at any point in the installation, insert a switch to boost the signal. If necessary, more switches can be
added each time the link reaches the 100 m limit.
Figure 11 shows the 1 GB Ethernet switch inserted between two panels on the P3 link as an example only:
the switch can be inserted in any position on the link where the cable length between any two devices would
exceed 100 m.
More expensive, sophisticated switches tend to carry out additional processing that can cause latency. You
should therefore choose a relatively cheap unmanaged gigabit Ethernet switch.

Configuration and testing
This section covers the needs of the installer and technician only. It explains the options available for
configuration and testing of LC Plus panels, but it does not explain how to allocate addresses to panels or
the options available for displaying video. For details of these, see the P3-100 System Controller user
documentation.
When repacking panels in a Martin flightcase after operation, follow the instructions in the flightcase (see
“LC Plus flightcases” on page 8).
Control panel, display and status indicators
Basic configuration, status checking and testing without a P3-100 connected can be carried out using the
control panel and LED display on the back of the frame base.
Five LEDs give information about panel and system status.
Using the control panel and control panel display
The panel’s address appears in the 7-segment 4-character LED display when an LC Plus panel is powered
on.
The control panel is used as follows:
• To enter the control menus (see Table 5), hold MENU pressed in for one second. The red status LED at
the bottom right of the panel will flash quickly to indicate that you are about to enter the control menus.
After a second, the panel address will fade out and the first control menu Addr
Addr
Addr
AddrAddr will fade in. The red status
LED at the bottom right of the panel will light constantly.
• To scroll between menus or options in menus such as values, press PREV and NEXT.
• To select a function or submenu or to confirm a selection, press ENTER.
• To escape a function or menu, press MENU.
If no buttons are pressed for 25 seconds, the menu indicator LED will start flashing slowly. If no buttons are
pressed for a further 5 seconds, the panel will automatically exit the control menus.
When exiting the menu system (either manually or automatically), the menu display will fade out and the
panel address display will fade in. The red status LED at the bottom right of the panel will now be off to
indicate that the control menus are disabled.

Control menus
The following menu commands and options are available in the control panel:
Resetting and rebooting panels
If it becomes necessary to reset an LC Plus panel, it is possible to force a 'normal reboot' (which causes the
panel to reset and start up as it normally would when power is applied), or a 'factory reboot' (which causes
the panel to start up the original factory-programmed firmware). The factory reboot is a fail-safe way to
ensure the panel can be started up if there is a problem with the most recently uploaded firmware. It should
not be required during normal operation.
Normal reboot: Press all four control panel buttons simultaneously. The display will show rSet
rSet
rSet
rSetrSet. Release
the buttons within five seconds. The panel will boot up normally as though power has just been applied.
Factory reboot: Press and hold all four buttons for 5 seconds or longer. The panel will display FAct

the buttons are released, the panel display will alternate between FAct

LoAdLoAd a few times to indicate
that the factory firmware is about to be loaded. The panel will then boot the original factory-programmed
firmware.
Note that performing a factory reboot will only cause the panel to boot the factory firmware once. At the next
power cycle (or reset), a normal reboot will be carried out unless all four buttons are held in to force a factory
reboot again.
