Setup
Figure 1: The Dracast LED Fresnel 1000 Daylight LED Light, shown with its four-way barndoors open, mounted on a light stand. The blue control panel with a digital display and DMX ports is visible on the side of the fixture.
- Mounting the Fixture: Attach the light fixture's yoke to a compatible light stand using the 5/8-inch receiver. Ensure the fixture is securely tightened to prevent accidental movement.
- Attaching Barndoors: Slide the included 4-way barndoors onto the front of the Fresnel lens. Secure them in place using the integrated clips or locking mechanism.
- Power Connection:
- AC Power: Connect the AC power adapter to the fixture's power input and then plug it into a standard 100-240 VAC electrical outlet.
- DC Battery Power (Optional): If using a 24 VDC battery (not included), connect it to the appropriate DC input port on the fixture.
Operating Instructions
- Power On/Off: Locate the power switch on the control panel and toggle it to the 'ON' position. The digital display will illuminate.
- Adjusting Brightness (Dimming): Use the dedicated dimming knob or buttons on the control panel to adjust the light output from 0% to 100%. The current brightness level will be shown on the digital display.
- Adjusting Beam Angle (Spot/Flood): Rotate the knob or lever on the side of the fixture to adjust the beam angle between 15 degrees (spot) and 60 degrees (flood). This changes the spread and intensity of the light.
- DMX Control:
- Connect a DMX controller to the fixture's DMX IN port using a standard DMX cable.
- If chaining multiple DMX fixtures, connect the DMX OUT of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next.
- Set the DMX address on the fixture's control panel according to your DMX system's configuration. Refer to your DMX controller's manual for specific addressing instructions.
- The fixture supports DMX512 protocol for remote control of brightness and other functions.
- Using Barndoors: Adjust the individual leaves of the 4-way barndoors to shape the light beam and control spill.
Maintenance
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the fixture. For the Fresnel lens, use a lens cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth to avoid scratches. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
- Ventilation: Ensure the passive heat sink fins are free from dust and obstructions to maintain efficient cooling.
- Storage: When not in use, store the light in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case.
