DESCRIPTION:
1. SAFETY EYE: used to attach a safety cable when the unit is rigged,
see paragraph “overhead rigging”
2. MAINS INPUT: connect the included mains cable here. You can also use
any power cord with a PowerCon connector.
3. DMX INPUT: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect the projector with
the DMX controller or with the previous unit in the DMX chain.
4. M-DMX INPUT: Please note that this USB-connector is NOT used for
updates or to connect the unit to a PC! Instead this USB-connector makes it
very easy to add wireless DMX to the unit! Just add the (optional) WTR-DMX
DONGLE from BRITEQ® and you will get wireless DMX! Moreover you will be able
to connect other DMX-controlled equipment to the DMX-output so you can share
the wireless DMX function with all connected units! No extra settings to be
made in the setup menu, just follow the procedure in the user manual supplied
with the WTR-DMX DONGLE from BRITEQ®. The separate WTR-DMX DONGLE is available
from WWW.BRITEQ-LIGHTING.COM (order code: 4645)
5. MICROPHONE: is used to trigger the sound controlled functions and
programs
6. DISPLAY shows the various menus and the selected functions.
7. DMX OUTPUT: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the projector
with the next unit in the DMX chain.
8. MAINS OUTPUT: you can use this output to power the mains input of the
next unit in the DMX chain (for easier linking up to 10A). You can also use a
Combi Cable to link power and DMX signal with one cable
9. FUSE HOLDER: Important: Always replace the fuse by a model with
exactly the same specifications !
10. GROUND CONNECTOR: if extra grounding is required, the connection can
be done here
11. MENU button: used to browse the different functions in the menu
12. UP button: to increase the values shown on the display.
13. DOWN button: to lower the values shown on the display.
14. ENTER button: used to confirm your choice or to enter the setup mode
of a function
OVERHEAD RIGGING
- Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
- Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
- The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
- Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s weight.
- Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
- The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
- Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
- The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent
light equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the
connected light effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent
strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a
90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables,
this simply won’t work!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode.

MAINTENANCE
- Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
- Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
- All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be corroded.
- Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation.
- When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
- The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.
- In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
- The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
- The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
• Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
• Always dry the parts carefully.
Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
