Features

The LED bar is particularly suitable for professional lighting tasks, for example at events, on rock stages, in theatres and musicals. It has low power consumption and a long service life.
Special features of the device:

• 10 individually controllable RGBW LEDs at 20 W each
• Extremely sharp beam
• 220 ° tilt range
• Control via DMX (3 different modes) and via buttons and the display on the unit
• Pre-programmed pixel effects
• Robust metal housing

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.

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
A five-pin XLR socket serves as DMX output, a five-pin XLR plug serves as DMX input.
The drawing below and the table show the pin assignment of a matching coupling.

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, no light| Check the mains connection and the main fuse.
No response to the DMX con‐ troller| 1. Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper connection.
2. Check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check whether the DMX cables run near or par‐ allel 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.
