INSTALLATION

WARNING! Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure that the device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by a specialist who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.

The device may be placed on the floor by unfolding the brackets or fastened to a truss or similar rigging structure. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

1. The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.

2. Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.

3. Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the
   device. Please refer to the “Accessories” section for a list of suitable rigging hardware.

4. Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment  must be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. Use the hole in the bracket for fixation of the safety rope. Fasten the safety rope in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm

5. To align the device, release the fixation screws at the mounting bracket, adjust the desired inclination
   angle and retighten the fixation screws.

6. After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation and looseness.

CONNECTIONS

DMX512 control
A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX connection.

1. Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the light set with a DMX cable.
2. Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the light set to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always connect one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
3. At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
4. If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended to insert a DMX level amplifier to ensure proper data transmission.

Connection to the mains
The device uses an auto-range power supply that accepts input voltages between 100 und 240 volts.

1. Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. Thus the unit is switched on.
2. To switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug.
3. Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains outlet which is switchable.

OPERATION

After connecting the device to the mains it is ready for operation. The display indicates the last operating mode. The operating modes can be selected by means of the display and the control buttons. All settings remain stored even if the device is disconnected from the mains. The device can be operated in stand-alone mode via the control board and the EUROLITE IR-7 remote control or in DMX-controlled mode via any commercial DMX controller.

Notes

• The remote control is supplied with a battery inserted. An insulating foil between the battery and the battery contacts prevents the battery from being discharged during storage. Prior to the first operation remove the foil from the battery support on the rear side of the remote control. Otherwise operation of the remote control is not possible.
• If the range of the remote control decreases, replace the battery. For this purpose, on the rear side of the remote control press the small bar with the groove to the right and at the same time remove the battery support. For operation, one 3 V button cell type CR 2025 is required. When inserting, pay attention that the positive pole of the button cell shows upwards in the support.
• Remove the battery from the remote control as a precaution if the device is not used for a longer period of time.

DMX OPERATION

Setting the number of DMX channels and the DMX starting address
For operation with a controller with DMX512 protocol, the device is equipped with 8 control channels. However, it can also be switched to a mode with 3, 4 or 4-1 channels if different functions are required. To be able to operate the device with a DMX controller, the DMX starting address must be set for the first DMX channel. The starting address depends upon which DMX controller is being used. Please refer to the controller’s documentation.

1. Press the MENU button so many times until Addr is indicated in the display. Confirm with the ENTER button.
2. The display indicates 3 CH (3 DMX channels), 4 CH (4 DMX channels), 4-1 C (4-1 DMX channels) or 8 CH (8 DMX channels). Use the buttons UP and DOWN to select the desired number of DMX channels. Confirm with the ENTER button.
