Installation

Read ‘Safety information’ before installing the fixture

The fixture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate ventilation. Ensure that none of the fixture’s ventilation slots are blocked.
Fasten the fixture to a secure structure or surface. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed in this user manual using a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface

The fixture can be fastened to a hard, fixed, flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.
Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If you install the fixture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed below with a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the fixture if the primary fastening method fails.

Mounting the fixture on a truss

The fixture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When installing the fixture hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a G-clamp. When installing in any other orientation, you must use a half-coupler clamp that completely encircles the truss chord.

To clamp the fixture to a truss:

1. Check that the rigging structure can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.
2. Block access under the work area.
3. Fold the legs of the mounting bracket together and bolt a rigging clamp securely to the mounting bracket. The bolt used must be M10, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass through both mounting bracket legs and be fastened with a self-locking nut.
4. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture with its clamp on the truss and fasten the clamp securely.
5. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as directed below.

Securing with a safety cable

• Secure the fixture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable will hold the fixture if a primary attachment fails.
• Loop the safety cable through the eyebolt in the back of the fixture and around a secure anchoring point. Do not loop the safety cable around the fixture’s mounting bracket only, as this will leave the fixture unsecured if it separates from the bracket.

DMX-512 connection/connection between fixtures

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.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator:

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain.

Caution

• At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator.
• Solder a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 5-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

Power connection

Power Requirements

• The Event 100T luminaire operates on 100 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging).
• The luminaire contains an auto-ranging power supply.

Connection with the mains:

• Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.

The occupation of the connection cables as below:

Operation

The Event 100T can operate in three different modes. In each mode you can run the fixture as a stand alone fixture or in a master/slave configuration. This next section will detail the differences in the operating modes.

Addressing

• All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct fixture responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which the fixture starts to listen to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the base of the device.
• You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or make different address for each fixture individually.
• If you set the same address, all the units will start to listen to the same control signal from the same channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
• If you set a different address, each unit will start to listen to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected fixture.
• In the case of the Event 100T, which is 1/2/3/5 channels fixture. If you set, for example, the address in the 1 channel mode to channel 2, the device will use the channel 2 for control.

Note

• After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not.
• If there is data received at the DMX input, the dot in the display will flash.

Universal DMX Control

• This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the dimmer and strobe. A DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.

Rotary control

This function allows you to control the dimmer and color temperature of the Event 100T with the knob in the rear panel.

1. Press the MENU button and select “UOL”.
2. Press the ENTER button.
3. Adjust the dimmer and CCT through the knob on the panel. left knob control dimmer, right knob control CCT.

Zoom

This function allows you to adjust the beam width of the fixture.

• Step 1: Loosen the zoom buttons on the side of the device.
• Step 2: Adjust the zoom by sliding the back lens-housing forward or backward.
• Step 3: Tighten the zoom buttons.

Fixture Cleaning

Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.

To clean the fixture:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the fixture with low-pressure compressed air.
3. Clean the surfaces by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub glass surfaces hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscented tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water.
4. Check that the fixture is dry before reapplying power.

Fuse Replacement

This fuse is located in a fuse holder next to the MAINS OUT socket on the connections panel. To replace a fuse:

1. Disconnect the fixture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Unscrew the cap of the fuse holder and remove the fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same size and rating only.
3. Reinstall the fuse holder cap before reapplying power.

Troubleshooting

Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter, with solutions.
