INSTALLATION
Overhead rigging
DANGER TO LIFE!
Please consider the EN 60598-2-17and the respective national standards during
the installation!
The installation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!
The installation of the device has to be built and constructed in a way that
it can hold 10 times the weight for
1 hour without any harming deformation.
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, derigging or servicing the device 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 safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the
first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of
an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by a skilled person once a year.
Procedure:
The device should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
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 device. 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 and or damage to property.
The device has to be installed out of the reach of people.
If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional
trussing systems have to be used.
The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when
crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible
installation, do NOT install the device!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point
load of 10 times the device’s weight.
DANGER OF FIRE!
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material
(decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.
Mount the device to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.
For overhead use, always install an appropriate safety bond.
You must only use safety bonds complying with DIN 56927, quick links complying
with DIN 56927, shackles complying with DIN EN 1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The
safety bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be sufficiently
dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety
regulations (e. g. BGV C1, BGI 810-3).
Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of
safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only give in
part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety
instructions and consider them.
The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect
installations or insufficient safety precautions!
Pull the safety bond through the attachment eyelet and over the trussing
system or a safe fixation spot.
Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.
The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.
A safety bond which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective
must not be used again.
Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the
fixation screws.
DANGER TO LIFE!
Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be
approved by an expert!
DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures
will not work at all, or will not work properly.
Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used
Only use a DMX-cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR outputs, you need to use adapter cables.
Building a serial DMX chain:
Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain with the DMX
input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the
next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last fixture.
Stand-alone operation
In the Stand-alone mode, the device can be used without controller. You can do
without a controller as the device features internal programs. For Stand-alone
operation, disconnect the device from the controller.
Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.
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 EUROLITE LED WF-10 you can find an XLR-jack and an
XLR-plug, 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.
Set the master device to the stand-alone operation mode. For this adjust one
of the programs (p–1 – p–4).
Set each slave device to the same DMX address “d001”.
Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.
The occupation of the connection cables is as follows:
The earth has to be connected!
If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network,
a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be
included in the permanent electrical installation.
The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in
compliance with the IEC standards. The electric installation must be equipped
with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30 mA.
OPERATION
The Control Board offers several features: you can e. g. simply set the
starting address.
Enter the menu by pressing the MODE button. You can change the selection by
pressing UP or DOWN. You can leave every mode by pressing the MODE button. The
functions provided are described in the following sections.
After you connected the effect to the mains, the LED WF-10 starts running and
the display indicates:
DMX-controlled operation
You can control the devices individually via your DMX controller. Every DMX
channel has a different occupation with different features.
Addressing
Each EUROLITE LED WF-10 occupies 2 DMX channels. The Control Board allows you
to select the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from
which EUROLITE LED WF-10 will respond to the controller.
If you set, for example, the address to channel 3, the LED WF-10 will use the
channel 3 to 4 for control.
Please make sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to
control each EUROLITE LED WF-10 correctly and independently from any other
fixture on the DMX data link.
If several EUROLITE LED WF-10 are addressed similarly, they will work
synchronically.
Note:
The modes of DMX512 data are shown via the blinking control LED in the display
of the device:
After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX512 data
is received or not. If the data is received, the display will show “d.001”
with the actually set address.
If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will show “d001”
with the actually set address.
This situation can occur if:
- the 3 PIN XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device.
- the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input connector.
Note:
It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last
device in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data
link.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
DANGER TO LIFE!
Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation!
We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents!
CAUTION!
The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged,so that its function
is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches!
The objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to
building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans
should be cleaned monthly.
There are no servicable parts inside the device except for the fuse.
Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized
dealers.
Replacing the fuse
If the fine-wire fuse of the device fuses, only replace the fuse by a fuse of
same type and rating.
