3.4 Installation Instructions - Rigging the Fixtures

CAUTION: Please consider national norms during installation. Installation must be carried out by a qualified person.

• The installation must be able to hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without deformation.
• Always secure with a secondary safety attachment (e.g., safety rope).
• Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing.
• Ensure safety and technical installations are approved by an expert and inspected annually.

Rigging Using the Omega Brackets

1. Fix the clamp to the bracket using the M12 nut and bolt.
2. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the device's bottom holes and tighten clockwise.
3. Install the second Omega holder.
4. Pull the safety cable through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system or rigging point. Insert the end into the carabiner and tighten the safety screw.

CAUTION: This step is very important to ensure safe rigging.

Rigging Drawings

Fixtures can be installed by sitting on the floor, hanging upside down, or hanging vertically.

• Keep the fixture at least 0.1 m away from any flammable materials.
• Always use a safety cable.
• Rig the projector high enough to provide clearance for people.
• CAUTION: DO NOT let other external intense lights shine through the fixture front lens, as it may cause significant internal damages.
• When installing outdoors during the day (with power off), ensure the fixture front lens is NOT facing the sun.
• When using outdoors during the day (with power on), avoid the fixture front lens facing the sun.
• When the fixture is on standby outdoors (with power on) and no signal is present, ensure the "sun protection" mode is ON (default).

3.5 Connections - Connecting Power and Signal Cables

Power Connection

• Connect the power cable to the "Power In" socket of the fixture.
• Connect the power cable plug to the mains (AC100-240 V~, 50/60 Hz, Power 200 W).

DMX-512 / Art-Net Control Connection

• Connect the provided male side of the XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller and the female side of the XLR cable to the male XLR input of the device.
• Multiple devices can be connected in series. Use a two-core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.

3.8 DMX Protocol

Scan the QR code on the cover page to download the DMX CHART.

3.9 Safety Settings

Define a safety (blanking) zone to prevent operations above the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) within the safety zone. This is done using the "Ayrton Fixture Manager" software.

BLANKING ZONE SETTINGS:

• Download and install the "Ayrton Fixture Manager" App.
• Determine areas within the hazard distance where public members are present.
• Once Blanking Settings are done, the fixture is ready to be controlled via DMX console. The operator cannot override the Blanking Zone remotely.
• At the end of each use, clear previous settings to factory defaults.

Safety Protection

When an error occurs, light output is cut, and CMY filters, Colour filter, and Frost filter are brought into the light path.

Safety Monitoring System - Separate Redundancy Control

This system shuts down or dims to a safe level immediately when any safety monitored value is reported outside of the expected value (e.g., light output out of range, Pan/Tilt forced from location).
