MOUNTING AND RIGGING

Pay attention to safety! Please respectively consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the national standard during the installation. Only authorized technicians can carry out the installation.

Rigging

• 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 demolition. 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 anther time. He has also to make sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation once a years.

IMPORTANT: Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use 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.

CAUTION: Use appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

Water / Moisture

• The product is for indoor use. In order to prevent risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose to rain or moisture.
• The unit can not be used near water; for example near a bathtub, a kitchen sink, a swimming pool, etc.

Heat

• Do not use in a confined space. Always install the product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50 cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots on the product’s housing are blocked.
• The apparatus should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other appliances that produce heat.

Don not use it when maximum ambient temperature is higher than 45°C. Work temperature ranges from -25°C to 45°C (-13°F to 113°F).

Servicing

• Do not implement any servicing other than those means described in the manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel only. The internal components of the equipment must be purchased from the manufacturer. Only use accessories/attachments or parts recommended by the manufacturer.

INTRODUCTION

This Laser Beam moving head of the Spire Series is an ulta compact, lightweight and stylish moving head with a White Laser source, integrated with a unique high resolution optical system.

The fixture features a 0.7° beam angle which helps to provide an ultra long- throw beam effect that is close to a parallel beam, and it is designed with a range of effects: 19 static gobos, 17 dichroic colors, 6-color wheel, 2 prism wheels, frost, focus, etc. The Spire LS2000 provides a 360° continuous, fast and smooth Pan/Tilt movement with variable speed which delivers an even more vivid visual effect to the show. It supports DMX and RDM (Remote Device Management) control. The fixture’s exterior housing is beautifully balanced and based on a modern design philosophy, with a supremely harmonious interior structure for remarkable control. The body of the Spire LS2000 has more than just a striking look, the 2 fastening omega clamps, available for vertical and horizontal plug-in, make installations fast and easy.

About Power Connection

• Always make sure that the voltage of the outlet you are connecting the product to is within the range stated in paragraph ”11 – Specifications” on page 19 or front panel of the product (AC100V-240V 50/60Hz).
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged. Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
• Never disconnect the product from power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• To avoid electric shock, all fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable ground and automatic switch.
• Wire correspondence is as follows:

Earth must be connected! Always pay attention to safety! Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert.

About Dmx Connection

When use a DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference sources (e.g. intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source).

DMX machines are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the machines are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each of them. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.

Connect machines using shielded 2-conductor twisted pair cable with 3-pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-), and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

CAUTION: Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly

DMX Terminator

DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. In order to prevent electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last fixture in the chain to a DMX terminator, especially over long signal cable runs.

The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the outputsocket on last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

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

Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables

DMX connection protocols used by controllers and fixtures manufacturers are not standardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards:
5-Pin XLR and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect this fixture to a 5-Pin XLR input fixture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself. Below you can see the wiring correspondence between 3-Pin and 5-Pin plug and socket standards:

MENU OPERATION

Thanks to the LCD display, it’s very easy to set up and change operating mode. By pressing the MENU button, and the RIGHT button when in submenus (point 2 and 5 on”5.1. Front Panel” on page 9), the display will cycle through 7 different menus and 31 submenus. Press the OK button (3) to access selected menus, press UP (4), DOWN (6) or RIGHT (5) to navigate in the menus and change functions and values, then press OK (3) to confirm.

To exit menus and go back without making any changes, use the MENU button (2).

Troubleshoot Ting

Phenomenon                                           Solution

Fixture cannot start to work|

1. Check if the power fuse is burned out

Fixture starts normally, but not re- sponding to the DMX controller|

1. Check if the DMX start address is correct
2. Check if the XLR signal cable is damaged

Dark light, brightness decreased| Check whether the internal and external optical system is clean
Beam is seriously distorted|

1. Check whether the lens is broken
2. Clean the dust or oil on lens

MAINTENANCE

When the lens have fracture and other damage, they should be replaced in time. When the fixture does not start, please check if the fuse is burned out. The Spire LS2000 is installed with an overheating protection device. When it is overheated, the

overheating protection device will automatically cut off power.

In order to maintain the smooth rotation and movement of the mechanical parts, it is suggested to add grease every two months. Please use good quality grease.

In order to ensure the fixture works well, it should be cleaned once every 30 days. To optimize the output light efficiency, it is recommended to periodically clean internal and external optical lens, reflector and color filters. Do not use any chemical solvents. Clean the fixture according to usage and the surrounding environment. Clean with a soft cloth and cleaning products for glass.
