IP rating information

PLEASE READ THE BELOW CAREFULLY BEFORE USING THE FIXTURE IN OUTDOOR/EXTREME ENVIRONMENTS

IP Rating:
The IP (International Protection) rating classifies and rates the degree of protection provided against intrusion of foreign objects such as dust and water into housings and electrical enclosures.
The rating consists of the letters IP followed by two digits (i.e. IP65) where the numbers define the level of protection. The first digit (solids) stands for the level of protection the enclosure provides against solid bodies, whilst the second digit (liquids) stands for the degree of protection of the equipment inside the enclosure against water. An IP65 rated fixture is one which has been designed and tested to protect from all ingress of dust (6) and water projected by low pressure jets (6.3mm) from any angle (5).
Marine/Coastal Installations:
Although this fixture has an IP rating it is NOT suitable for installation in a coastal/ marine environment. Installing this fixture in a coastal/marine environment could cause corrosion and excessive wear to the internal and/or external components. Any damages,
faults or performance issues resulting from the installation in one of the environments listed above will void the manufacturers warranty and will NOT be subject to any warranty claims, parts or repairs.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
If this fixture is installed in extreme outdoor and/or wet conditions, it MUST be powered ON and operated for a minimum of 30 minutes every 1-2 weeks. Excessive usage in extreme outdoor and/or wet conditions without a consistent usage cycle as described above can lead to component damage and/or a reduced fixture lifetime. Any damage to the fixture found to be a direct result of not following the above guidelines will void the manufacturers warranty and will NOT be subject to any warranty claims, parts or repairs. Please ENSURE all connections are sealed with the rubber caps if provided and the correct cables are used and connected correctly to prevent dust and/or water ingress, condensation and/or corrosion.

Installation

Before installing the fixture, the supporting structure (ie. truss) must be able to hold a minimum of 10 times the fixtures weight without any deformation (eg. 15kg – 150kg point load). The fixture must be secured with a secondary safety attachment when being installed (ie. an appropriate safety cable). Never stand directly below the fixture when mounting, removing, and/or servicing.
Overhead installation requires experience and qualifications to calculate working load limits, the material being used at the installation area and periodic safety inspections of the fixture and installation material. If you do not have the relevant experience and/or qualifications please do not attempt the installation yourself. The installation should be checked annually by a qualified person.

attempt

The Spectra Par 30Q8 PRO can be operated in a number of mounting positions as shown in the diagram above, hanging upside-down from the ceiling or truss, mounting sideways on truss or stood upright on a flat level surface. Always use a safety wire as an extra safety precaution to prevent damage/injury in the event a clamp fails (see the next page for clamp installation). Never use the carry handles for secondary attachments.
Installation:

  1. Fasten each clamp to the omega clamps with a bolt and lock nut through the hole in the omega clamp.
  2. Align and insert the omega clamps quick-lock fasteners with the respective holes on the bottom of the unit.
  3. Tighten both locking fasteners clockwise on each omega clamp ensuring they’re fully secure.
  4.  Mount the fixture onto your truss system via the clamps and tighten to ensure secure.
  5. Pull the safety cable through the safety cable holes located on the top rear of the fixture and around the truss.

DMX setup

Setting the DMX address:
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.
DMX 512:
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DMX linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit.
Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output, see images below.

Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight Concepts dealers.
Please quote: 5-Pin: CABL185 – 2m CABL187 – 5m CABL188 – 10m
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice:
Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables.
Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs  outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.

Line termination:
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour. Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour. (3-pin – Order ref: CABL90, 5-pin – Order ref: CABL89)
Termination reduces signal transmission problems and interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4W) between pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
5-pin XLR DMX connectors:
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.

Multiple fixture power linking

Power linking:
This fixture provides power linking via the power output on the rear allowing multiple units to be connected together. The maximum number of fixtures that can be connected is 2 fixtures @ 240V or 1 fixture @ 120V (including the first fixture). After the maximum number of fixtures are connected a new power run will need to be started.
Please note: Caution should be used when power linking other fixtures to the Spectra Par 30Q8 PRO as the power consumption of other fixtures will vary. Fixtures fitted with lamps often require 2/3 times more current on startup, these may require their own power source.
