READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS.

• For indoor, dry location use only. Do not use outdoors unless fi xture is suitably IP rated.
• Use safety tether when mounting.
• Equipment should be mounted in locations and at heights where it will not be readily subjected to tampering by unauthorized personnel.
• Not for residential use. Do not use this equipment for other than intended use.
• Note distance requirement(s) from combustible materials or illuminated objects. Do not mount near gas or electric heaters.
• Install only in locations with adequate ventilation. Ensure sure that ventilation slots are not blocked.
• Ensure that the voltage and frequency of the power supply match the power requirements of the fi xture.
• The fixture must be earthed/grounded to the appropriate conductor.]
• Do not operate fixture outside the specifi ed ambient temperature range.
• Do not connect the fixture to any dimmer pack.
• The use of accessory equipment not recommended by the manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition and void warranty.
• Refer service to qualifi ed personnel. This fixture contains no user-serviceable parts.
• Prior to fi rst use, carefully inspect fixture to ensure no damage has occurred during shipping.
• Materials used in the manufacturing process can cause strong odors when the product is new. These odors dissipate over time.
• Prior to each use, carefully inspect power cables and replace any damaged cables.
• Exterior surfaces of the luminaire will be hot during operation. Take appropriate precautions.
• Continuous use of the fixture may shorten the lifespan. Power down the fixture when not in use.
• Do not cycle power on and off repeatedly. Disconnect mains power if the fixture is not used for an extended period.
• Clean fi xtures regularly, particularly when working in a dusty environment.
• Never touch power cables or wires while the fi fixture is powered on.
• Avoid entangling power wires with other cables.
• In the event of a serious operating problem, immediately discontinue using the fixture.
• It is hazardous to operate luminaires without lens or shield. Shields, lenses, or ultraviolet screens shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired, for example, by cracks or deep scratches.
• Original packing materials can be reused for transporting the fi texture.
• Do not look directly at the LED light beam while the fi xture is on.
• This is a Class A product. In a domestic environment, this product may cause radio interference, in which case, the user may be required to take adequate measures.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS.

WARNING: Refer to National Electrical Code® and local codes for cable specifi cations. Failure to use proper cable can result in damage to equipment or danger to personnel. Caution Against Direct Sunlight Through Front Lens Assembly

CAUTION AGAINST DIRECT SUNLIGHT THROUGH FRONT LENS ASSEMBLY
The design and nature of the front lens assembly in Vari-Lite LLC luminaires is to efficiently focus the light ener-gy from the luminaire’s lamp for maximum light output.

• When the front lens assembly is exposed to direct sunlight or intense light from neighboring fixtures, the lens will collect and intensify this light and focus it back into the fixture. Intense sunlight or beams from other fi xtures can cause damage to internal assemblies contained within the fixture.
• When fi fixture is not in use and direct sunlight or other intense light is present, position luminaires so their front lens assembly it not directly exposed to the light source.

CAUTION AGAINST POWERING LUMINAIRES FROM DIMMER CIRCUITS
It is not recommended to power any Vari-Lite LLC luminaire from a dimmer – even in ‘NONDIM’ mode. Dimmer and non-dim modules are not suitable sources of power because their output modifi es the AC waveform. This may work for a short time, but eventually results in power problems, luminaire misoperation and/or failure.

• When using a power distribution rack, do not use dimmer or non-dim modules to power any Vari-Lite LLC luminaire. Damage to the luminaire can occur.
• Using a dimmer or non-dim module to power your Vari-Lite LLC luminaire will void your luminaire’s warranty.

CAUTION AGAINST THE USE OF THIRD-PARTY PARTS OR ACCESSORIES

• Heat and heat distribution are important factors when operating Vari-Lite LLC luminaires. Vari-Lite LLC luminaires are designed to dissipate heat effi ciently and safely. Any blockages or obstructions, such as aftermarket baffles, covers, enclosures, etc. can interrupt the luminaire’s ability to dissipate heat properly and can damage the luminaire.
• Vari-Lite LLC cannot be responsible for issues arising from non-approved parts and accessories installed on or used with any Vari-Lite LLC product. Customers of such products should contact the manufacturer directly for assistance and support.

TRANSPORTING LUMINAIRES
When shipping or transporting luminaires, Vari-Lite LLC recommends that the luminaire(s) be sufficiently pro-tected against any (including, but not limited to) shock, vibration, drops, jarring, exposure to the environment, etc.
Failure to suffi ciently protect any Vari-Lite LLC luminaire during shipping or transportation will result in damage and void the luminaire’s warranty. Vari-Lite LLC will not be responsible for any shipping damage or breakage of any product under any circumstances. Vari-Lite LLC will not be responsible for any third party case manufactur-er’s cases.

NOTE: As with all automated luminaires, proper handling and suitable protective shipping cases should be used when transporting fixtures to reduce the risk of damage.

TRANSPORTATION AND SHIPPING CASE REQUIREMENTS
Cases to transport Vari-Lite LLC luminaires should meet the following loading requirements:

• Luminaire head, yoke, and enclosure sub-assemblies shall be equally supported and constrained where no one sub-assembly (head, yoke, or enclosure) fully supports the entire mass of the luminaire.
• The interior of the case shall be of high-quality and uniform-density foam. The foam shall be of the same type and density throughout as to equally and uniformly support loading at every contact surface.
• The case shall, when laid on any of its six (6) surfaces, maintain the loading requirements outlined above.
• All cases not meeting the aforementioned loading requirements, with wheels, shall have markings
• on the exterior of the case that the unit is to be transported on it wheels only (e.g. “Case must be transported and remain [at all times] on its wheels”).

DMX512 CONNECTION

• At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120Ω 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 5-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last unit.
• Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the input of the next unit. The cable cannot branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very high-speed signal. Inad- equate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
• The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
• Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
•  The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
• 5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin 4/Pin 5: Not used.

RDM PARAMETER IDs

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bidirectional communication between a lighting or system controller and attached RDM compliant devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and management of these devices in such a way that does not disturb the normal operation of standard DMX512 devices that do not recognize the RDM protocol.

Appendix A CARE AND MAINTENANCE

TROUBLeSHOOTinG

The following are a few common problems that may occur during operation.

Luminaire does not work; light and fan do not turn on.

• Check power connection and main fuse.
• Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.

Not responding to DMX controller.

• If DMX LED is not illuminated, verify that the DMX cables are properly connected.
• If the DMX LED is illuminated and there is no response, verify DMX address settings and the DMX polarity.
• If you experience intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on the connectors or on the PCB.
• Test with a diff erent DMX controller.
• Check if the DMX cables run near or alongside high voltage cables that may cause interference to the DMX interface circuit.

Cleaning
Cleaning the inside of the luminaire must be carried out periodically in order to optimize the light output.Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates. Damp, smoky or particularly dusty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.

• Clean with a soft cloth using glass cleaning fl uid.
• Dry parts carefully.
• Clean the external optics at least every 30 days.

Appendix B

FAN SPEED AND CONTROL

AddendUM

Fan Speed And Control
All Vari-Lite luminaires will be governed by the same fan speed vs. noise levels. vs. maximum power output rules as detailed below. The noise related to these levels will conform to the Noise Criteria levels, details of which are contained within this document.
There are three control parameters that can be selected separately or in conjunction (when permitted) to manage fan speed vs. noise levels vs. maximum power output.
NOTE: Not all fi xtures have all modes or functions. Refer to DMX map and User Interface menu tree to see if your product has one or more of these functions.

Output Modes
These modes are selectable at the fixture’s DMX control channel or via the fixture’s user interface screen.
Boost mode – LED output boosted to >100% of standard output. Fan speeds increased to manage heat level of LED (may be limited to only run for XX hours). Fixture will not exceed NC45-NC55 sound levels in this mode.

Standard mode – Full LED output. Fan speed is set to cool LED appropriately but not exceed NC40 sound level in this mode. Studio mode – Fan speed reduced to achieve 10% dB reduction from Standard mode and not exceed NC35 sound level. LED output is approximately 80% of Standard output to ensure LEDs operate at optimum temperature and output efficiency. Fan speed remains constant and does not ramp up or down.

Whisper mode – Fan speed reduced to achieve 30% dB reduction from Stand-ard mode and not exceed NC25 sound level. LED output is approximately 60% of Standard output to ensure LEDs operate at optimum temperature and output efficiency. Fan speed remains constant and does not ramp up or down. Silent mode – fans are turned off or turn very slowly to not contribute to fixture noise. LED output is capped to ensure LEDs operate at optimum temperature and output efficiency. Fans are either off or fan speed remains constant. Target
NC15 sound level in this mode.
