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, de-rigging or servicing the fixture 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 the safety measure and the machine’s technical installation is approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation an-ther time. He has also to make sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation once a years.
  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 projector. 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 or property loss.

• If the fixture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
  CAUTION : Use appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

INTRODUCTION

• Scenic C1018Z is a compact and lightweight LED Par designed for live events, club installations and all those indoor applications where colored lights with variable beam are required. The projector is equipped with a motorized zoom controllable by DMX with angle between 10° and 65°. The light source features 18x10W RGBW 4in1 LEDs, designed to create bright and intense colors.
• Its main strengths are reliability and flexibility. The first is based on quality and selection of LED chips, the quality of optical lenses and the use of digital processor technology for LED chip temperature and fan speed control in order to preserve LED life and color brilliance. The second point, flexibility, means that users can choose to turn off the fan by renouncing part of luminance and make the fixture totally silent. This could be very useful to rental companies and professionals in all those “on the fly” situations, where total silence is needed (houses of worship, theaters, confer-ence halls, etc.) and do not have silent multicolor fixtures enough or simply because the installation requires more fixtures than those available.
• Scenic C1018Z is color at hand, without hassles in any venue.

Features

• High brightness / long lifespan LED chips with high-quality lens.
• RGBW 4in1 color mixing
• Flicker-free LED emission for broadcast applications
• DMX-512 control with RDM
• Motorized zoom with beam angle from 10° to 65°
• Advanced dimmer system and strobo effects
• Intelligent fan speed and control with different settings
• Lightweight aluminum housing with all-directional ventilation system

3. Power Input / Output Sockets
   Plug the power-cord included with SCENIC C1018Z into an AC socket properly con-figured for this fixture. Please read “5.2. About Power Connection” on page 10 for details. This fixture is also equipped with an output power connector to be used as power mains source in case of cascade connection up to a maximum of 5 fixtures.

4. DMX Input / Output Sockets
   DMX Input is a 3-pin male XLR socket for connection to a DMX control device. DMX output is a3-pin female socket for sending the DMX control signal to other units.

About Power Connection

• Always make sure that the voltage of the outlet you are connecting the product to is within the range stated in paragraph “8 – Specification” on page 16 or rear panel of the product (AC110V-240V 50/60Hz).
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged. Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
• Never disconnect the product from power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• To avoid electric shock, all fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable ground and circuit breaker.
• Wire correspondence is as follows

Earth must be connected! Always pay attention to safety! Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert.

About Dmx Connection
When use a DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference sources (e.g. intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source).

DMX machines are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the machines are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each of them. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.

Connect machines using shielded 2-conductor twisted pair cable with 3-pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-), and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

CAUTION : Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

DMX Terminator

DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. In order to prevent electrical noise from dis-turbing and corrupting the DMX control signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last fixture in the chain to a DMX termina-tor, especially over long signal cable runs.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

****Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier is a must to connect more fixtures.

3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables
DMX connection protocols used by controllers and fixtures manufacturers are not standardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards: 5-Pin XLR and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect this fixture to a 5-Pin XLR in-put fixture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself. Below you can see the wiring correspondence between 3-Pin and 5-Pin plug and socket standards

MENU OPERATION

By pressing MENU button, the display will cycle through 14 different menus. Press ENTER button to enter the corresponding menu, press UP or DOWN to modify cur-rent parameter value. Then, press ENTER button again to save current value.

Fan Noise & LED Temperature Control

• SCENIC C1018Z is equipped with a digital processor that controls fan speed and LED temperature. Users can choose among 3 operative modes from FAN0 to FAN2 as explained in “6 – Menu Operation” on page 12.
  Users can select the desired mode by pressing MENU button until they reach the “FAN-” page. Press ENTER; you see the current value. Then press UP or DOWN to choose from FAN0 to FAN2. Press ENTER to confirm and MENU to go back to the selection of menu pages.

• FAN0 keeps the fan off when LED temperature is below 40°C (104°F). It comes into operation form 41°C (105°F ca.), and the DSP increases fan speed according to LED board temperature. Heat protection limit is fixed at 90°C; in normal conditions, this limit is never exceeded, as fan would act to cool the chip. Maximum noise @ 1m
  (max. fan speed) is 43dBA ca.

• FAN1 (Silent Mode) always switches the fan off. Internal DSP controls the LED temperature and adjusts its brightness to keep the chip always cooled. Brightness reduction starts from 41°C (0% reduction) to 87°C (40% reduction ca.). Fan noise is 0dBA.

• FAN2 preset keeps the fan always working, so the LED board temperature will always be kept cooled. Fan noise @ 1m is 43dBA ca.

Master/Slave Mode
In case you need to control more SCENIC C1018Z simultaneously (all fixtures operate exactly the same way) without the use of a DMX controller, you can use the Master/Slave function. There is no specific function to be activated on the display; simply the master unit must be connected first, all the others in daisy-chain through the DMX IN-OUT connections. All units (master and slaves) should be in DMX Channel 001 only, and have same Channel Mode (all 7CH or 11CH).
