Power Connection

Connect the provided powerCON input cable to the fixture's power input. For power linking multiple units, use powerCON-compatible output connections to daisy-chain fixtures. Always ensure the total current draw does not exceed the circuit's capacity.

DMX/D-Fi USB Connection

For DMX control, connect a DMX cable from your DMX controller to the fixture's DMX input. For wireless Master/Slave or DMX control, insert a D-Fi USB transceiver (sold separately) into the D-Fi USB port on the fixture.

Operating

Control Panel

The EVE E-50Z features a digital display and control buttons (Menu, Up, Down, Enter) on the rear panel for navigating settings and DMX addresses. Refer to the display for current settings and DMX values.

Manual Zoom and Focus

Adjust the manual zoom and focus knobs located on the fixture body to achieve the desired beam angle and sharpness. The zoom allows you to project from various distances, while the focus ensures a clear projection.

Framing Shutters

Utilize the four adjustable framing shutters to precisely shape the light beam. These shutters allow you to create sharp, defined edges and highlight specific areas on a stage or set.

Gobo and Gel Frame Installation

The EVE E-50Z accepts size 'D' steel and glass gobos. Insert your desired gobo into the designated holder. The included gel frame can be used to add color filters or diffusion materials to the light output. Ensure gobos and gels are securely seated before operation.

DMX and Standalone Modes

The fixture can be controlled via DMX for integration into larger lighting systems or operated in standalone mode using its internal programs. Use the control panel to select the desired operating mode and adjust parameters.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your EVE E-50Z fixture.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the fixture with a soft, dry cloth. Ensure the lens and internal optics are free from dust and debris to maintain light output quality. Use a mild glass cleaner for the lens if necessary, applied to a cloth, not directly to the lens.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect all cables, connectors, and mounting hardware for any signs of wear, damage, or loose connections. Address any issues promptly to prevent operational problems or safety hazards.
• Cooling: Ensure that the fixture's ventilation openings are clear and unobstructed to allow for proper airflow and prevent overheating.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your EVE E-50Z, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power: Check the power cable connection, ensure the power outlet is active, and verify that the fixture's power switch (if applicable) is in the 'on' position.
• No Light Output: Confirm the fixture is receiving power and is not in a 'blackout' or 'dimmed' state. Check DMX connections and settings if using DMX control.
• Incorrect DMX Behavior: Verify the DMX address and mode settings on the fixture match your DMX controller. Check DMX cable integrity and termination.
• Overheating: Ensure adequate ventilation around the fixture. Clear any obstructions from the cooling vents. If the issue persists, reduce ambient temperature or operating time.
• Unresponsive Controls: Power cycle the fixture. If the control panel remains unresponsive, contact customer support.
