Setup
1. Mounting
The moving head light can be placed on a flat surface or mounted to a truss or ceiling using the provided handle accessories. Ensure the mounting surface or truss can support the weight of the fixture (6.45kg/14.2lbs) and any additional equipment. Always use a safety cable as a secondary attachment.
2. Electrical Connection
Connect the provided power cord to the "POWER IN" port on the rear panel of the fixture and then to a suitable AC110V-240V 50/60HZ power outlet. The unit also features a "POWER OUT" port for daisy-chaining power to other compatible fixtures.
3. DMX Connection
For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the "DMX IN" port of the first fixture. For multiple fixtures, daisy-chain them by connecting the "DMX OUT" of the first fixture to the "DMX IN" of the next, and so on. Use three-core XLR cables for DMX connections.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On/Off
After connecting power, use the ON/OFF switch located on the rear panel to power the unit on or off.
2. LCD Display and Navigation
The 1.77-inch color LCD display allows for easy navigation and setting adjustments. Use the MENU, UP, ENTER, and DOWN buttons to browse through options and confirm selections.
3. Basic Functions
- Color Mixing: The 19x10W RGBW LEDs allow for mixing 16.7 million colors, providing independent 4-color effects and unlimited combinations.
- Dimming: Features 0-100% linear dimming for smooth intensity control.
- Strobe: Adjustable strobe frequency from 1-20Hz.
- Zoom: Electronic focus allows for a variable light output angle (beam angle) from 10° (zoom out) to 55° (zoom in).
- Movement: The fixture offers 540° horizontal (X-axis) and 270° vertical (Y-axis) rotation with automatic calibration and positioning.
Control Modes
- DMX Control: Connect to a DMX controller using standard DMX512 protocol. The fixture supports 16 or 24 control channels. Refer to the DMX channel chart in the full manual (if available) for specific channel assignments.
- Master-Slave Mode: Link multiple fixtures together. Set one unit as the "Master" and others as "Slaves." The slave units will mimic the master's movements and effects.
- Voice Control (Sound Active): The fixture will react to sound and music, changing patterns and movements in sync with the audio.
- Self-Propelled (Auto Mode): The fixture will run through pre-programmed internal shows and patterns automatically.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Regularly clean the optical lenses and the exterior casing with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
- Cooling System: Ensure the cooling fan and air vents are free from dust and debris to maintain optimal operating temperature and extend the lifespan of the LEDs. The unit features an aluminum heat dissipation and air cooling system.
- Inspection: Periodically check all cables, connections, and mounting hardware for any signs of wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| No power | Power cable disconnected, power switch off, no power from outlet | Check power cable connection, ensure power switch is ON, test outlet with another device. |
| No DMX control | Incorrect DMX cabling, incorrect DMX address, DMX controller issue | Verify DMX cable connections (IN/OUT), check DMX address settings on fixture and controller, ensure DMX controller is functioning. |
| Fixture not moving/responding | Incorrect operation mode selected, motor error | Check the selected operation mode (DMX, Master-Slave, Auto, Sound Active). Power cycle the unit. If issue persists, contact support. |
| Overheating | Blocked ventilation, high ambient temperature | Ensure vents are clear and there is adequate airflow. Reduce ambient temperature if possible. |
User Tips
- For optimal beam clarity and effect, ensure the optical lens is kept clean.
- Experiment with different DMX channel modes (16CH vs 24CH) to find the balance between control granularity and channel usage that suits your setup.
- When using multiple units in Master-Slave mode, ensure the master unit is set up first and then power on the slave units.
- Consider using a DMX terminator on the last fixture in a DMX chain for more reliable signal transmission, especially over long cable runs.
