SETUP

Installation

Pay attention to the safety! Please respectively consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the national standard during the installation. The authorized dealer must only carry out the installation.

The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolishment. 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.

When rigging, de-rigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden. The operator has to make sure that the safety measure and the machine’s technical installation is approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time. He has also to make sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation once a year.

WARNING: The fixture should not be installed in outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT: Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, lnowledge of the installation material used, and periodic safety inspection of it and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead consult a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or property loss.

If the fixture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room. Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s weight.

CAUTION: Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashing down. If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the fixture!
CAUTION: Use two appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.
DANGER OF FIRE! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of minimum 0.5 metre.

The moving-head light can be placed directly on the floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics. Use the rigging clamp to merge the M10 or M12 screw – please check the base.

Connections

Mains Connections
Connect the device to the mains with the power-plug. The wire correspondence is as follow:

The earth must to be connected! Pay attention to the safety!

Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert.

DMX-512 Connection

The wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Only use a stereo-shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to control the fixture or one fixture with another.

If you are using the recommended controllers, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMXchain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-output, you need to use adapter-cables.

Building a Serial DMX Chain
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX- input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.

A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.

To build your own DMX Terminator: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2&3 of the last fixture. They are also readily available from specialty retailers.

Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier is a must to connect more fixtures.

Master-Slave control mode
Set up one fixture as Master fixture (triggering) and other fixtures as Slave fixtures (receiving trigger signals). A fixture is automatically set as Master when it is the first in the DMX chain, and fixtures connected after it will behave as Slave units. Make sure that all fixtures have the same DMX address.
