RECHARGEABLE BATTERY OPERATION

Prior to operating the device off mains for the first time, the rechargeable battery must be fully charged.

1. Switch on the device with the power switch. The operating time of the battery depends on the operating mode and the ambient temperature. After the operation, switch the device off.
2. For charging the battery, connect the device to a power outlet via the enclosed adapter (12.6Vdc 2A). The device may be operated during the charging procedure.
3. The device features a protective circuit for charging which prevents overload of the rechargeable battery. However, disconnect the device from the mains after charging. Otherwise, there will be a low current consumption even if the device is switched off.
4. The device will heat up during charging; this is normal.
5. To prevent damage to the battery by deep discharge, recharge a battery completely discharged as soon as possible. Do not store the unit with the battery completely discharged and regularly recharge the battery in case of long storage.

INSTALLATION

CAUTION: Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorized employee or dealer! ****

Attention:

• The installation of the product has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harmful deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
• The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
• The fixture should be installed in the position where persons cannot reach and where persons may walk by or be seated.

CAUTION: When installing the device, make sure there is no higher in inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in between a distance of min 0.5 meters.

DISPLAY

The control board offers several features: you can simply set the starting address, run the pre-programmed program or make a reset. The main menu is accessed by pressing the Mode button, and browse through the submenu by pressing Up or Down.
Press the Enter button in order to select the desired menu. You can change the selection by pressing Up or Down. Confirm every selection by pressing the Enter button.
You can leave every mode by pressing the Mode button. The functions provided are described later in this manual.

DMX-512 CONNECTION

If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.

5-pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufacturers use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables into a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

3-Pin XLR to 5-Pin XLR Conversion

Conductor| 3-Pin XLR Female (Out)| 5-Pin XLR Male (In)
Ground/Shield| Pin 1| Pin 1
Data Compliment (- signal)| Pin 2| Pin 2
Data True (+ signal)| Pin 3| Pin 3
Not Used| | Pin 4 – Do Not Use
Not Used| | Pin 5 – Do Not Use

At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.

MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION

The master/slave operation enables several same units can be controlled by one “master” unit. Connect the first unit “DMX OUT” socket with the second unit “DMX IN”, using a 3pin DMX Cable. Repeat this process with the third, fourth, etc. or see the above section “DMX-512 connection”. Choose the unit that will control all others and set this in master mode via the display. The other units that must react on the master, you must set in slave mode. The “Slave” will synchronously follow the “Master” .
Noted: Any unit can be the “Master” or “Slave”.

REMOTE CONTROLLER

To switch off the lights: Press OFF on the remote control [1].
Manual Color Control: You can set R/G/B colors with the remote by pushing either the Red button for red, the Green button for green, the Blue button for blue, the White button for white, the Amber button for Amber, the Uv button for UV [3].
Preset color mode: Press one of the nine preset colors on the remote control. [4] Program: Press one of the four program buttons to choose between the different auto programs [5]. Speed can be changed with up and down button [1].
**** 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 (1) and at the same time remove the battery support (2). 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.
