RIGGING DRAWINGS

The fixtures can be installed by sitting on floor, hanging on truss upside down (on ceiling) or hanging vertically (on wall), as shown on the drawing below:

• Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.1 m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.).
• Always use and install a supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
• Rig the projector high enough to provide clearance for people who may walk beneath the beam path or establishing a restricted access area that extends beyond the beam hazard distance.
• CAUTION! Please DO NOT let other external intense lights to shine through the fixture front lens, it may cause significant internal damages!
• When install fixture outdoor at day time (with power off), please make sure that the fixture front lens is NOT facing the sun.
• When use fixture outdoor at day time (with power on), please avoid fixture front lens facing the sun.
• When fixture is on standby outdoor at day time (with power ON and no DMX signal), please make sure the “sun protection” mode is ON (default).

CONNECTIONS – CONNECTING POWER AND SIGNAL CABLES

POWER CONNECTION

• Connect the power cable to the “Power In” socket of the fixture: Insert the power cable connector and turn clockwise until it clicks to lock.
• Connect the power cable plug to the mains: AC100-240 V~, 50/60 Hz, Power 800 W.

DMX-512 / ART-NET CONTROL CONNECTION
Connect the provided male side of the XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the female side of the XLR cable to the male XLR input of the device. You can connect multiple devices together in a serial fashion. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.

DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR
For installations where the DMX cable has to run over a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal caused by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output (female) XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.

DEVICE DMX START ADDRES SETTING
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture responds to the correct control signals This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct address number on the display located on the base of the device. You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different addresses for each fixture individually. If you set the same address on all devices, all the devices will start to “listen” to the same control signal from the same channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously. If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected device.

In the case of the moving head, in 46 channel mode, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 47 (46 + 1), the third unit to 93 (46+47), and so on.

DISPLAY SETTINGS OPERATION
The fixture offers LCD Display and Buttons for setting display menus, you can use the buttons to set or check the Address, Mode, Options, Test, Info and Preset menus.

After accessing the submenu in edit mode, if no operation, it will automatically exit to the main menu after 15 seconds from the last button operation. When the fixture is powered on and the signal is connected, after 5 minutes, the display will switch off automatically.

USING THE DISPLAY MENUS
Double click to activate display, then on the main menu double click to enter into the following menus, click the up button or down button to browse and select the desired menus:

NFC
When the fixture is powered on, you can use a NFC smartphone installed with the Ayrton NFC App to scan the NFC tag area of the fixture to read some of the information or settings inside the display menu, such as product name, software version, UID, DMX Start Address, Universe, User Mode, Options, Information, etc. You can also change some of the settings and push to write inside the fixture menu.
When the fixture is not powered on, you can still use the App to read the NFC info and write the settings into the NFC tag, the written data will be automatically synchronized into the fixture menu at next time the fixture is powered on.

SAFETY SETTINGS
For safety purposes, before the operator begins to control the fixture remotely, the operator must pre-define, from a computer (MAC or PC) App a safety (blanking) zone which prevents operations above the MPE (Maximum Permissible Exposure) within the safety zone(or other). The safety (blanking) zone should be set to include any area in which the fixture may be pointed where there is a reasonable expectation of the public being present. Where the operator determines there will be no members of the public present or no members of the public present within the Hazard Distance of the product (please see table below), no safety (blanking) zone is needed to be set.

• US HD (United States Hazard Distance) = 90 meters (312 feet).
• Non US HD = 70 meters (230 feet).
• Hazard Distance (worst case) is measured at full power and narrowest beam angle for 0.25 seconds.
• However, do not illuminate personnel closer than this distance under any circumstances.

BLANKING ZONE SETTINGS

Steps to set blanking zone: please refer to the“Blanking zone setting guide”

SAFETY PROTECTION
This fixture had been designed with Safety Protection feature: When error occurs, not only the light output itself will be cut immediately, but also the CMY filters, Colour filter and Frost filter will be brought into the light path and the Zoom will go to max immediately to block the light output lens to provide multi-protection layers.

SAFETY MONITORING SYSTEM – SEPARATE REDUNDANCY CONTROL
This fixture had been designed with a Safety Monitoring System with Separate Redundancy Control, the failure safety system shuts down or dims to safe level immediately when any safety monitored value is reported outside of expected value: When light output (as measured by current) is out of expected range; when Pan or Tilt are forced from proper location, or do not arrive at proper location; when zoom is forced from proper location, or do not arrive at proper location.
