Improper installation can result in bodily injury and or damage to property.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety precautions.
For overhead use, always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment such as a safety bond or safety net.
Make sure that the area below the installation place is blocked when rigging, derigging or servicing the device.
For commercial use the country-specific accident prevention regulations of the government safety organization for electrical facilities must be complied with at all times.

Caution – material damage

This device must not be connected to the mains voltage by means of a dimmer.
Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks will ensure that the device will serve you for a long time without defects.
Never switch the device on and off in short intervals. This will considerably reduce the service life of the device.
If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation, do not switch it on immediately. The resulting condensation may destroy the device. Allow the device to reach room temperature before connecting it. Wait until the condensation has evaporated.
Please use the original packaging to protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage.
If a serial number label is affixed to the device, do not remove the label as this would make the warranty void.

Rigging

WARNING! Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure that the device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.
Rigging
Rigging

Safety-rope
Clamp
Omega-holders
Quick-lock fastener

The device may be placed on the floor or fastened to a truss or similar rigging structure. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the device. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of suitable rigging hardware and follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Screw one clamp each via a M10 screw and selflocking nut onto the Omega-holders. Insert the two quick-lock fasteners of the Omega-holders into the respective holes on the bottom of the device. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise.
Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment must be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. An appropriate eyelet is mounted on the device for fixation of the safety bond. Install the safety bond by inserting the quick link in the eyelet on the bottom of the base. Pull the safety bond over the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the fixation screw. Fasten the safety bond in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm.
After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation and looseness.

CONNECTIONS

DMX512 connection / connection between fixtures

The wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

Please note the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.

DMX512 control

A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX connection.

Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the device with a DMX cable.
Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the device to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended to insert a DMX level amplifier to ensure proper data transmission.

XLR connection:

DMX512 control

Wireless DMX transmission with QuickDMX
The device features an alternative DMX input for a QuickDMX receiver (sold separately). This connector allows for wireless transmission of DMX control signals to the device. The connector is designed as a USB port which provides the required 5 V operating voltage for the receiver. With QuickDMX devices, extensive cabling between the DMX controller and the device is not required.

Occupation of the USB port:

Connection to the mains
The device uses an auto-range power supply that accepts input voltages between 100 und 240 volts.

Connect the device via the enclosed mains cable to a grounded mains socket.
Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains outlet which is switchable.

OPERATION

With the power switch, you can switch the device on and off. After you connected the effect to the mains, the device starts running. During the Reset, the motors are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.
The operating modes can be selected by means of the display and the control buttons. All settings remain stored even if the device is disconnected from the mains.

The device has two operating modes. It can be operated in stand-alone mode via the control board or in DMX-controlled mode via any commercial DMX controller and wireless via QuickDMX with the optional available EUROLITE QuickDMX USB Wireless Transmitter/Receiver.

Stand-alone operation
In stand-alone mode, the LED TMH-S200 can be used without controller. Disconnect the LED TMH-S200 from the controller and call up the internal program. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.

Master/Slave operation

The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master device.
On the rear panel of the device you can find an XLR-jack (DMX Out) and an XLR- plug (DMX In), which can be used for connecting several devices.

Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX cable. Connect the DMX OUT-jack with the DMX IN-plug of the next device.
Set the master device to the desired master mode “Auto1”, “Auto2”, “Random” or “Sound”. Set all slave devices to the mode “DMX”. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.

Control Board

The Control Board offers several features: you can easily set the starting address, run the pre-programmed program or make a reset.

Press OK until the display is lit. Browse through the mode menu by pressing the arrow buttons (up and down). Press OK 2 x in order to select the desired menu.
