INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized employee or dealer!

Attention

The installation of the product has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.

Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.

The fixture should be installed in the position where persons cannot reach and where persons may walk by or be seated.

CAUTION: When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min 0.5 meters.

DISPLAY

The control board offers several features: you can simply set the starting address, run the pre-programmed program, or make a reset. The main menu is accessed by pressing the Mode button, and browsing through the submenu by pressing Up or Down.
Press the Enter button to select the desired menu.
You can change the selection by pressing Up or Down. Confirm every selection by pressing the Enter button.

You can leave every mode by pressing the Mode button. The functions provided are described later in this manual.

DMX-512 CONNECTION

If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.

At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.

MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION

The master/slave operation enables several same units can be controlled by one “master” unit.
Connect the first unit “DMX OUT” socket with the second unit “DMX IN”, using a 3pin DMX Cable. Repeat this process with the third, fourth, etc., or see the above section “DMX-512 connection”. Choose the unit that will control all others and set this in master mode via the display. The other units that must react on the master, must set in slave mode. The “Slave” will synchronously follow the “Master”.
Noted: Any unit can be the “Master” or “Slave”.

FIXTURE CLEANING

The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky, or particularly dirty surroundings can cause a greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.

Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing
Housings, fixations and installations spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected

To protect the fixture from overheating the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air jet.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.

Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every month. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.

ATTENTION: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified workers!
