Menu operation

Notes:

1. The display flickering slowly indicates the current MENU option. If the display is flickering quickly, the data shown on the display will become current once entered.
2. During changing the MENU settings, if no input has been received after 10 seconds, the MENU will return to A001 display and be locked (the last 3 numbers show the DMX address). The unit will continue to operate in the last program it was set to. To UNLOCK the menu display, hold down enter for 3 seconds, then press up or down. Again, after no input or change for 10 seconds or more, the display will lock and revert to A001 display.

DMX-512 Control Connection
Using a 3 pin XLR cable, you can connect the product to a DMX controller and then to other fixtures with 3 pin XLR inputs and outputs. When not using DMX, multiple fixtures can be connected together and operate under master/slave control. The signal cable should have two core with shielded cable, the signal connectors are XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the below diagram:

DMX Address Setting

• When being used in conjunction with a DMX controller, each fixture must be set a specific starting address. When receiving signal, fixture will receive channel control signals of this address from the DMX controller.
• For simplicity, the user can use the same address for multiple fixtures but this will result in each fixture providing exactly the same output and fixtures with the same DMX address cannot be individually controlled.
• To control each fixture individually via DMX, each fixture must have its own unique DMX address. As this fixture uses 13 DMX channels, each address must be at least 13 apart.
• So for example – assuming the first fixture is DMX channel 1, the second fixture would need to be on channel 14, then the 3rd channel 27 and so on. Some DMX controllers may group fixtures in lots of 16 channels – so in that case, fixture 1 on channel 1, fixture 2 on channel 17, 3 on 33, and so on. Refer to your DMX controllers’ instruction manual on how best to manage your DMX channel allocation.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
A DMX terminator helps to reduce ‘noise’ on the DMX chain, and makes the light respond to control more accurately. It should be plugged in to the last fixture in any chain. For Terminator connections please see below:

Error Messages

• In the event of an error or problem within the fixture, the display will show an error message such as “PAN-ERR”. A pan error could be caused by an obstruction to the rotation of the ball. If this is the case, power off the unit and clear the obstruction.
• With any error message, the unit should be powered off, then turned on again after a few seconds. If the error message persists, please contact your local dealer for advice or repairs.
• There are no user-serviceable parts within this product – do not attempt to open and repair yourself. Doing so will result in any warranty being voided.

Rigging

Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first holder into the respective holes on the base of the product. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. The mounting bracket can then be attached to a stand, trussing or lighting bar securely. Be sure to use a safety chain which connects through the lug with the hole in it on the base and around the trussing or bar on which the product is being mounted.

Cleaning and maintenance

• From time to time it is recommended the product is cleaned to ensure maximum light output and performance. Use a wet cloth to clean the housing as well as the lenses and base. Glass cleaner is also suitable but alcohol based cleaners and solvents cannot be used as they will cause damage to the product.
• When used in a fixed long term installation such as a venue or club, the unit should be periodically taken down from the installation and professionally cleaned. Dust build-up within the unit can cause damage and ultimately failure of components.
