19 × 20 W RGBW beam with motorised zoom 5.8° – 55°, lens rotation and pixel mapping
Operating manual. Please read in full before first use and keep for future reference.

Foreword
Thank you for choosing the Luminus LU1920 — a powerful LED beam moving head with 19 RGBW LEDs, motorised zoom, lens rotation and full individual LED control (pixel mapping).
This document describes set-up, operation, care and troubleshooting of the fixture. Read the manual — in particular the chapter Safety Instructions — in full before first use and keep it with the fixture. If the fixture is passed on to third parties, the manual must be included.
The LU1920 is a professional lighting fixture for indoor use on stages, in discotheques, in television and film studios and at events. Any other use — in particular outdoors or in humid environments (IP20) — is considered improper and voids the warranty.

Chapter 01
Read this chapter in full before first use. Damage caused by disregarding these instructions is excluded from the warranty.
The LU1920 is mounted to a truss or stand via the screw holes in the base using the supplied Omega brackets. Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel. The LU1920 can be operated in three positions: hanging (head down) from a ceiling, sideways on the truss or standing on a level surface.

The LU1920 is controlled via DMX-512. Controller and fixture require a 3- or 5-pin XLR connection for data input and output. Use only shielded DMX cables with 110 – 120 Ω impedance — no microphone cables.
| Pin 1 | Shield / GND |
| Pin 2 | Data − (DATA −) |
| Pin 3 | Data + (DATA +) |
| Pin 4 / 5 | not used (5-pin) |
Do not connect the shield to the ground lug — risk of short circuit.
| Fixture | Address | Channels used |

Several fixtures can be linked through via the PowerCon IN / OUT sockets. Without an external controller, slave fixtures follow a master that plays an auto or sound program (“Mode” menu).

The LU1920 offers seven DMX channel modes. The compact modes (21 / 23 / 35 CH) control all LEDs together; the pixel modes (78 – 99 CH) address each of the 19 LEDs individually.
| Channels | Mode | Content |
|---|---|---|
| 21 | Colour compact | RGBW mixing, macro colours, strobe, pan / tilt, zoom, lens rotation |
| 23 | Movement & pattern | Movement first, plus static / dynamic patterns and back colour |

The pixel modes control each of the 19 LEDs individually (pixel mapping) — for arrows, numbers, letters and custom patterns. They consist of a base block (identical to the compact modes) followed by a pixel block with the individual LED channels.
| Mode | Base block | Pixel block (per LED) |
|---|---|---|
| 78 CH | 21 channels | 19 × R, G, B → CH 22 – 78 |
| 92 CH | 35 channels | 19 × R, G, B → CH 36 – 92 |
| 97 CH | 21 channels | 19 × R, G, B, W → CH 22 – 97 |

Below you will find solutions to the most common problems. For other faults, contact your dealer or Luminus service.
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | Check the mains connection and main fuse. |
| 2 | Measure the mains voltage at the PowerCon connector (AC 100 – 240 V). |
| 3 | Check the power LED on the fixture. |
| # | Check |
|---|---|
| 1 | The DMX LED on the display must light up. Otherwise check XLR cables and connections. |
| 2 | If the DMX LED lights but there is no response: check DMX address, channel mode and DMX polarity. |
| 3 | Intermittent dropouts: check the XLR pins on the connectors and on the PCB of the fixture or the preceding one. |
| 4 | Test with a different controller to rule it out as the source of the fault. |
| 5 | Do not run DMX cables parallel to high-voltage cables — interference possible. |
Chapter 07
Regular cleaning of the optics is essential for light output. Humid, smoky or dusty environments require shorter intervals.
Store in the original packaging or flight case. Storage temperature −25 °C to +50 °C, relative humidity < 70 %, non-condensing. Clean the optics and check screw connections before stowing.
