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 bond 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 bond. Fasten the safety bond 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.

GOBO REPLACEMENT

• DANGER! Electric shock caused by short-circuit Unplug from mains before replacing gobos!
• CAUTION! Never unscrew the screws of the rotating gobos as the ball bearing will otherwise be opened!
• To replace gobos, remove the snap ring with a pointed object (e.g. paper clip). Remove the original gobo and insert the new gobo. Press the snap ring together and insert it in front of the gobo.

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:

Wireless DMX transmission with QuickDMX
The device features an alternative DMX input for a QuickDMX receiver (sold separately). CRMX and WDMX receivers are compatible and can also be used. The connector allows a DMX control signal to be transmitted wirelessly to the device, eliminating the need for complex wiring to the DMX controller. The connector is designed as a USB port which provides the required 5 V operating voltage for the receiver.
USB port 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 with P-Con plugs 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.

Master/Slave operation

• The master/slave operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master device.
• On the rear panel of the device you can find an XLR jack (DMX output) and an XLR plug (DMX input), which can be used for connecting several devices.
• Choose the device which is to control the effects. This device then works as master device and controls all other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the master device via a DMX cable. Connect the DMX OUT-jack with the DMX IN-plug of the next device.
• Define the master device by setting the desired master mode “Auto”, “Sound” or “Manual”. Set the slave devices to “DMX” mode as well as to any DMX address. Please refer to the instructions under Menu structure.

OPERATION

The built-in control panel of the unit features four operating buttons and a display which shows all operation statuses. After connecting the unit to the mains it requires a short initialization process. During the reset, the motors are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards. The display shortly indicates the firmware version followed by the last operating mode. 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 or in DMX- controlled mode via any commercial DMX controller as well as wirelessly via QuickDMX. The operating modes can be selected manually by means of the display and the control buttons.

Menu structure
Browse through the main menu by pressing Menu. Press Enter in order to select the desired menu item. You can change the selection by pressing Up or Down. Press Enter in order to confirm. You can leave every mode by pressing Menu. The functions provided are described in the following sections. The display shuts off after several seconds of inactivity. By pressing any button it lights up again.

DMX operation

• Setting the DMX starting address
  For operation with a controller with DMX512 protocol, the device is equipped with 13 control channels. 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 UP or DOWN button so many times until DMX Address is indicated on the display. Confirm with the ENTER button.
2. Now the display calls up the menu item for the DMX starting address: 001.
3. Use the buttons UP and DOWN to set the address. Confirm with the ENTER button.
4. Press the UP or DOWN button so many times until DMX Channel is indicated on the display. Confirm with the ENTER button.
5. The display indicates 13 CH (13 DMX channels). Confirm with the ENTER button
6. The display will light up continuously when DMX signals are being received.  

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