Danger due to electricity

• To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not open any part of the device. There are no serviceable parts inside the device.
• Only connect the device to a properly installed mains outlet. The outlet must be protected by residual current breaker (RCD). The voltage and frequency must exactly be the same as stated on the device. If the mains cable is equipped with an earthing contact, then it must be connected to an outlet with a protective ground. Never deactivate the protective ground of a mains cable. Failure to do so could possibly injure the user.
• For outdoor use make sure to connect a rubber cable H05RN-F or H05RR-F. For installations in the ground an underground power cable NYY must be used. All valid instructions concerning the installation of cables outdoors or in the ground must be adhered.
• The mains outlet must be easily accessible so that you can unplug the device quickly if need be.
• Never touch the mains plug with wet or damp hands. There is the risk of potentially fatal electric shock.
• The mains cable must not be bent or squeezed. Keep it away from hot surfaces or sharp edges.

INSTALLATION

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.

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.

1. The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
2. Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
3. 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.
4. Secure the device with a safety rope 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 rope. Fasten the safety rope in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm.
5. To align the device, release the fixation screws at the mounting bracket, adjust the desired inclination angle and tighten the fixation screws.
6. After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of corrosion, deformation and looseness.

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.

1. Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the device with a DMX cable.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. 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:

POWER SUPPLY

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

1. Connect the device via the mains cable to a grounded mains socket. Thus the unit is switched on.
2. To switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug.
3. Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains outlet which is switchable.
4. The jack POWER OUT allows for power supply of further devices. To interconnect several devices, connect the jack POWER OUT to the input POWER IN of the next unit until all units are connected. Matching power cables are available as accessories. In this manner, up to 8 devices can be linked at 230/240 input voltage and up to 4 devices at 110/115 input voltage.
5. Please make sure that open contacts are closed with caps in order to avoid humidity and dirt in the device.

OPERATION

After connecting the device to the mains it is ready for operation. The display indicates the last operating mode. 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 can be operated in stand-alone mode via the control board and the EUROLITE IR-7 remote control or in DMX-controlled mode via any commercial DMX controller as well as wireless via QuickDMX with the optional available EUROLITE QuickDMX USB Wireless Transmitter/Receiver.

Notes:

• The remote control is supplied with a battery inserted. An insulating foil between the battery and the battery contacts prevents the battery from being discharged during storage. Prior to the first operation remove the foil from the battery support on the rear side of the remote control. Otherwise operation of the remote control is not possible.

• If the range of the remote control decreases, replace the battery. For this purpose, on the rear side of the remote control press the small bar with the groove to the right and at the same time remove the battery support. For operation, one 3 V button cell type CR 2025 is required. When inserting, pay attention that the positive pole of the button cell shows upwards in the support.

• Remove the battery from the remote control as a precaution if the device is not used for a longer period of time.

DMX operation
Setting the number of DMX channels and the DMX starting address
For operation with a controller with DMX512 protocol, the device is equipped with 9 control channels.
However, it can also be switched to a mode with 3, 4, 5 or 6 channels if different functions are required. To be able to operate the device with a DMX controller, the DMX starting address must be set. The starting address depends upon which DMX controller is being used. Please refer to the controller’s documentation.

1. Press the MENU button so many times until DMX is indicated in the display. Confirm with the ENTER button.
2. The display indicates 3 CH (3 DMX channels), 4 CH (4 DMX channels), 5 CH (5 DMX channels), 6 CH (6 DMX channels) or 9 CH (9 DMX channels). Use the buttons UP and DOWN to select the desired DMX channel mode. Confirm with the ENTER button.
3. Now the display indicates the menu item for the DMX starting address Addr***. Use the buttons UP and OWN to set the address. Confirm with the ENTER button.
4. If no DMX control signals are available, the display will flash.

Note: Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each devicecorrectly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX chain. If several devices are addressedsimilarly, they will work synchronically.
