 Plug and connection assignment

Introduction
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equipment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!
DMX connections The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suitable XLR plug.

Troubleshooting

NOTICE!
Data transfer errors due to improper wiring!
If the DMX connections are wired incorrectly, this can cause errors during the data transfer.
Do not connect the DMX input and output to audio devices, e.g. mixers or amplifiers.
Use special DMX cables for the wiring instead of normal microphone cables.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

Symptom

|

Remedy

---|---

The unit does not work, the fan does not run

|

Check the mains connection and main fuse.

No response to the DMX controller

|

1. The [DMX] status LED should light up. If it doesn’t, check that the DMX connectors and cables are properly connected.

2. If the [DMX] status LED lights up and there is no reaction, check the address settings and the DMX polarity.

3. Try using another DMX controller.

4. Check whether the DMX cables run near or parallel to high-voltage cables that may cause damage or interference to a DMX interface circuit.

If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.

Cleaning

Optical lenses
Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the device.

  • * Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no. 280122).
    • Always dry the parts carefully.

Fan grids
The fan grids of the device must be cleaned of any contamination, such as dust, etc. on a regular basis. Before cleaning, switch off the device and disconnect mains-operated devices from the mains.
