Features
3 Features
The LED PAR is particularly suitable for professional lighting tasks, for
example at events, on rock stages, in theatres and musicals.
Special features of the device:
n Five RGBAW+UV 6-in-1 LEDs, each 15 W n 16-bit technology n Control via DMX
(5 channels) and buttons and display on the unit n Six preprogrammed automatic
shows n Sound control n Master / Slave mode n Colour macros n Noiseless
operation due to convection cooling n Robust aluminium housing
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their
lifetime. This effect increases with higher operating temperature. You can
extend the service life of the illuminants by providing adequate ventilation
and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.

NOTICE! Possible data transmission errors For error-free operation make use of
dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi- nary microphone cables. Never
connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli-
fiers.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during
operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

Troubleshooting
Symptom
The unit does not work, no light
No response to the DMX con- troller
Remedy
Check the mains connection and the main fuse.
1. If the unit is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is connected and turned
on, the `d’ is flashing in the first digit of the display. If it doesn’t, no
valid DMX signal is received. Check whether the DMX controller is switched on.
Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper connection.
2. If the display is not flashing but there is still no response, check the
address settings and the DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check whether the DMX cables run near or parallel to high-voltage cables
that may cause damage or interfer- ence to a DMX interface circuit.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
