Information about protection class IP65

Equipment with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact (first code number). They are also protected against splash water from any angle (second code digit). That is why this equipment can also be used outdoors. Event technology equipment is generally only designed for temporary use however (event lighting) and not for permanent use outdoors. The specified protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the equipment (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the effects of sun‐light and UV rays). The seals and screw connections of the equipment must be checked regularly to ensure a fault-free operation. In cases of doubt, consult a specialist workshop in due time. For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This effect increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.

Installation

Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.

• WARNING! Risk of injury from falling devices that were inadequately secured!
  If devices are not properly secured during assembly, they can cause severe injury and considerable damage by falling. When installing and operating, make sure to follow the standards and regulations that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.

• NOTICE! Risk of overheating due to bad ventilation!
  If the device is badly ventilated, the device can overheat. Do not operate the unit at ambient temperatures outside the specified temperature range (see chapter “Technical data” of the user manual). Always ensure sufficient ventilation at the operating location.

• NOTICE! Potential property damage due to unsuitable stands!
  If the device is mounted on an unsuitable stand, there is a risk that the stand will fall over and cause damage. Only use stands whose maximum bearing capacity is at least as high as the weight of the device. Always ensure that the stand is stable.

• 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 ampli‐fiers. Use special DMX cables for the wiring instead of normal microphone cables.

• NOTICE! Possible damage due to moisture penetrating into open connectors!
  Moisture entering open connectors (plugs and couplings) of DMX and power supply cables can cause short circuits and damage to connected fixtures. Always seal unused connectors with end caps intended for this purpose (www.thomann.de).

Mounting options

You can install the device on the wall, the ceiling or on the floor. When in use, the device must always be attached to a solid surface or an approved mount. Two mounting brackets and Omega brackets are included.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the device. While you do this, the area underneath the device must be cordoned off. The safety cable must be threaded through the openings in the bracket.

Starting up

Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.

Connections in ‘DMX’ mode

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one and so on, to form a series connection. Such a chain may consist of up to 30 DMX devices. Make sure that the output of the last device in the chain is terminated by a resistor (110 Ω, ¼W).

Connections in ‘Master /Slave‘ mode

When you configure a group of devices in ‘Master / Slave’ mode, the first unit will control the others. This feature is especially useful to start a show without much programming. Connect the DMX output of the master unit to the DMX input of the first slave unit. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave unit to the DMX input of the second slave unit and so on.

Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.

Plug and connection assignments

Introduction

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ment 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! 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.

DMX connections

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 ampli‐fiers. 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:

, no valid DMX signal is being received. Check that the DMX controller is switched on. Check the DMX connections and cables for proper connection.
2. If the display is not flashing but there is still no response, check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
3. Replace the DMX cable.
4. Check whether the DMX cables run near or parallel to high-voltage cables that may cause damage or interfer‐ ence 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.
