Signal Connection:
Lights and controllers must be connected using a two-core shielded wire with a diameter not less than 0.5 mm. Ensure XLR plugs and sockets do not contact the inner shell or other cores. For XLR-XLR control lines, connect the DMX outlet of the controller to the DMX input of the first machine, and subsequently connect the DMX outlet of each machine to the DMX input of the next. Complete the loop by connecting the last lamp's signal output. This ensures the controller mode connection is finished.
The control display board menu is designed for various moving lights with different control modes, offering easy operation. Some settings may be invalid for specific light types.

Light Protection and Maintenance:
Replace lenses promptly if damaged. Replace bulbs if deformation or damage is observed, as aging bulbs pose a blowout risk. Check the power fuse if the light fails to start. Use a 5X20 T10A/250V fuse when replacing. The light has an overheating protection device that cuts off power when necessary. Check fan operation and clear any dirt or obstructions between the fan and fan grilles. Only qualified technical personnel should perform repairs.
Light Cleaning:
Regular cleaning is essential for reliable performance. Clean the fan every 15 days. Periodically clean the internal and external optical lenses, mirror, and coating color filter to optimize light output. Do not use chemical solvents on the color filter. Cleaning frequency depends on usage and environment. Use a soft cloth and general glass cleaning products. Clean the external optical system approximately every 20 days and the internal optical system at least every 30-60 days. Avoid using alcohol or organic solvents on the light's shell to prevent damage.
