Safety instructions
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to movements of the device The head of the device can move quickly (pan, tilt) and can produce very bright light. This is also valid immediately after you turn on the device, when the device operates in automatic mode or under remote control and when you turn off a DMX controller that is connected to the device. Persons staying near the device could be injured or frightened. Before you turn on the device and during the operation, always ensure that nobody stays close to the device. If work has to be performed in the area of movement or in the near vicinity of the device, it must remain turned off. NOTICE! Risk of fire Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.
NOTICE! Operating conditions This device has been designed for indoor use only. To prevent damage, never expose the device to any liquid or moisture. Avoid direct sunlight, heavy dirt, and strong vibrations. Only operate the device within the ambient conditions specified in the chapter `Technical specifications' of this user manual. Avoid heavy temperature fluctuations and do not switch the device on immediately after it was exposed to temperature fluctuations (for example after transport at low outside temperatures). Dust and dirt inside can damage the unit. When operated in harmful ambient conditions (dust, smoke, nicotine, fog, etc.), the unit should be main- tained by qualified service personnel at regular intervals to prevent overheating and other malfunction. The device must not be moved during use. NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire. NOTICE! Fire hazard due to exceedance of the maximum current The device can power other devices of identical construction. The current consumption of all other devices connected in series must not exceed the values indicated in the technical specifications. Otherwise you risk injuries and irreparable damages to the device. Only connect so many identical devices that the maximum current consumption is not exceeded. Ensure the sufficient dimensioning (wire cross section) of the power cables used for all devices connected in series. NOTICE! Possible staining The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your surface and after some time cause permanent dark stains. In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the surface and use a suitable underlay if necessary, i.e. felt pads or similar. NOTICE! Risk of overheating The distance between light source and the illuminated surface must be more than 1.5 m. Provide sufficient ventilation. The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C. NOTICE! Possible damage due to installation of a wrong fuse The use of different types of fuses can cause serious damage to the unit. Fire hazard! Only fuses of the same type may be used.

5 Starting up
Connections in DMX mode
Starting up
Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 , ¼ W).
Connections in master/slave mode
When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will con- trol the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This func- tion is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.

Introduction
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equipment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in `Sound & Light' caution is indicated: Even if a plug fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a short circuit or `just' a not working light show!
DMX connections
The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suit- able XLR plug.
Pin Configuration

Troubleshooting
10 Troubleshooting
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordinary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or amplifiers.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
Symptom
The unit does not work, no light, the fan does not run
No response to the DMX con- troller
Remedy
Check the mains power connection and the main fuse.
1. The DMX indicator should light up. If it doesn't, check DMX connectors and cables for proper con- nection.
2. If the DMX indicator lights up but with no response, check the address settings and DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check whether the DMX cables lie near or adja- cent to high voltage cables, which could cause damage or interference with a DMX interface cir- cuit.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
