Setup Instructions

1. Unpacking: Carefully remove the fixture from its packaging. Ensure all components, including the scissor yoke, are present and undamaged.
2. Mounting:
   • The included scissor yoke allows for versatile mounting. It can be used to hang the fixture from a truss or lighting stand, or as a floor stand.

   • Always use appropriate safety cables when suspending the fixture.
3. Power Connection:
   • Connect the provided IEC power cable to the IEC IN socket on the rear of the fixture.
   • Plug the other end into a compatible power outlet (100~240V, 50/60Hz).
   • Multiple fixtures can be daisy-chained using the IEC OUT socket to connect to the IEC IN of another fixture, up to the maximum power draw capacity.
4. DMX Connection (Optional):
   • For DMX control, connect a 3-pin DMX cable from your DMX controller's output to the DMX IN socket on the fixture.
   • To daisy-chain multiple DMX fixtures, connect a DMX cable from the DMX OUT socket of the first fixture to the DMX IN of the next fixture in the chain.
   • Ensure the last fixture in the DMX chain has a DMX terminator connected to its DMX OUT socket for stable signal transmission.

Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures optimal performance and longevity of your LP 42 RGBW fixture.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the fixture, especially the lens, with a soft, lint-free cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
• Fan Vents: Ensure the fan vents are clear of dust and debris to maintain proper cooling. Blocked vents can lead to overheating and reduced lifespan.
• Cable Inspection: Regularly inspect power and DMX cables for any signs of wear, cuts, or damage. Replace damaged cables immediately.
• Storage: When not in use, store the fixture in a dry, dust-free environment, preferably in its original packaging or a protective case.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LP 42 RGBW fixture, refer to the following common troubleshooting steps:

• No Power:
  • Check if the power cable is securely connected to both the fixture and the power outlet.
  • Verify the power outlet is functional.
  • Check the fuse (F2A 250V) on the fixture's rear panel and replace if blown.
• No Light Output:
  • Ensure the fixture is receiving power.
  • Check the selected operating mode. In DMX mode, ensure the DMX signal is present and the DMX address is correctly set.
  • Verify dimming levels are not set to 0%.
• Incorrect DMX Control:
  • Confirm the DMX address on the fixture matches the address set on your DMX controller.
  • Check DMX cable connections for proper seating and damage.
  • Ensure a DMX terminator is used at the end of the DMX chain.
  • Verify the DMX channel mode (4 or 8 channels) selected on the fixture matches your controller's settings.
• Overheating:
  • Ensure adequate ventilation around the fixture.
  • Clean any dust or obstructions from the fan vents.
  • Avoid operating the fixture in excessively hot environments.
