The LSC ePlates are an addition to the EKO installation dimmer. They provide remote control push button or slide fader control of the EKO dimmer for applications such as entrances, side stage lighting control, emergency controller interface and other applications where it is not practical or suitable to use DMX. Each ePlate is fully programmable using the LSC toolbox software making the system extremely versatile. The ePlates and EKOs dimmers are networked together using standard CAT5/6 - RJ45 cable and can form a very simple network, or if used with the ancillary LNET support products, they can form an extensive and flexible network of lighting control. With full status feedback, backlight illumination, legend able front panels and slim line design they will complement most installations and decors. The status of all network nodes (EKO and Eplates) may be monitored using the LSC Houston software and the LNET/USB interface connected to a PC. This tool provides real time system information about every node in the network.
