4. Setup

4.1 Mounting

The PAR64 light comes with a dual-yoke bracket for flexible mounting. It can be securely mounted on a truss, on the floor, or on a wall. Ensure the mounting surface or structure can support the weight of the fixture and any additional equipment. Use appropriate clamps and safety cables (not included) when mounting overhead.

4.2 Power Connection

Connect the provided power cable to the 'POWER IN' port on the rear of the fixture. Plug the other end into a suitable AC90-240V, 50-60Hz grounded power outlet. For daisy-chaining multiple units, use the 'POWER OUT' port to connect to the 'POWER IN' of the next fixture. Ensure the total power consumption does not exceed the circuit's capacity.

4.3 DMX Connection (Optional)

For DMX control, connect a DMX controller to the 'DMX IN' port using a 3-pin XLR cable. To link multiple fixtures, connect the 'DMX OUT' of the first fixture to the 'DMX IN' of the next, and so on. A DMX terminator is recommended for the last fixture in a chain to prevent signal reflection.

5. Operating Modes

The TC-Home PAR64 LED Stage Light offers multiple control modes, selectable via the LED digital display and control buttons (MENU, UP, DOWN, ENTER) on the rear panel.

5.1 DMX512 Mode

This mode allows for professional control using a DMX controller. The fixture uses 10 DMX channels. Refer to the DMX Channel Chart (typically provided in a separate DMX manual or online) for specific channel functions (e.g., Red, Green, Blue, White, Amber, UV intensity, Dimmer, Strobe, Color Macros, etc.).

• Set the DMX address for each fixture using the control panel. Each fixture in a DMX chain must have a unique address.
• Connect the DMX controller to the 'DMX IN' port.
• Ensure the DMX signal input and output are correctly wired (3-core XLR).

5.2 Sound Activated Mode

In this mode, the light reacts to ambient sound. The built-in microphone detects sound, and the light's patterns and colors change in sync with the music or audio. This mode is ideal for dynamic, responsive lighting without external control.

5.3 Auto Mode

The fixture cycles through pre-programmed internal shows and color sequences automatically. This mode is suitable for continuous, unattended operation, providing a variety of lighting effects without manual intervention.

5.4 Master-Slave Mode

This mode allows multiple fixtures to operate in synchronization without a DMX controller. Designate one fixture as the 'Master' and others as 'Slaves'. The Master fixture's settings (e.g., Auto mode, Sound mode) will control all connected Slave fixtures. Connect the 'DMX OUT' of the Master to the 'DMX IN' of the first Slave, and continue the chain.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the optimal performance and extends the lifespan of your PAR64 LED Stage Light.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens and housing with a soft, lint-free cloth. For stubborn dirt, use a mild glass cleaner. Ensure the fixture is powered off and cool before cleaning.
• Inspection: Regularly check power cables, DMX cables, and connectors for any signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Ventilation: Ensure the cooling fins on the housing are free from dust and debris to maintain proper heat dissipation.
• Storage: When not in use for extended periods, store the fixture in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case.
