Installation

DANGER: Install the lamp with the device switched off or unplug from mains!
Fitting/Exchanging the Lamp:
Open the small lamp cover by loosening 3 screws, open the small back cover at the back panel from the lighting, and gently pull the lamp out. If you want to change the lamp, remove the old lamp from the socket.
Do not install the lamp with a higher wattage! If so, the lamp will generate high temperatures, and the device is not designed for that case.
Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Please follow the lamp manufacturer’s announcement! Do not touch the glass bald bare-handed during the installation. Make sure that the lamp is installed tightly into the lamp holder.
Reinstall the top cover of the head and tighten those 4 screws.

Do not operate the fixture with operate housing cover!
The brightness of the lighting has been aligned at the factory. Due to the difference between lamps, fine adjusted may improve light performance. Strike the lighting, open the grating and the diaphragm, adjust the brightness to 100%, then focus the light on a flat surface (e.g. wall). Through using three “A/B/C” adjusting screws, you can make the light focus on the hot spot (the brightest of the light line), Rotate one screw once to drag the hot spot through projectile shadow in the direction of diagonal. If you cannot find the hot spot, adjust the lamp until the light line is even. Through adjusting three “A/B/C” screws at the same time and deasil 1/4 rotate until the light line distribute equably then pull the lamp into, doing so can reduce hot spot. If the light in the edge is brighter than in the center, or the light output is very low, it means the lamp is too back at the reflecting shelf. Through adjusting three “A/B/C” screws at the same time and deasil 1/4 rotate to push out the lamp until the light is bright and distribute equably.

Rigging and Hook:

• Pay attention to the safety!
• Please respectively consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the national standard during the installation! The authorized dealer must only carry out the installation.
• The installation of the projectile shelf has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolishment.
• 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 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 operator for the first time and after changes before taking into operation anther time.
• The operator has to make sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.
• The operator has to make sure that a technician approves the relative safety measure and the machine’s technical installation once a year.
• Procedure: The projectile shelf should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT MATTER! 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.

• The projectile shelf has to be installed out of the reach of people.

• lf the projectile shelf shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The projectile shelf must never be fixed swinging freely in the room. –
  CAUTION: Projectile shelf may cause severe injurers when crashing down! If you have doubted concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the projectile shelf!

• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector’s weight.

• DANGER OF FIRE! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of mini mun 0.5 meter.
  CAUTION! Use two appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

• The moving headlight can be placed directly on the floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation character rustics. There are two possibilities to fix the base of the lighting, Use the rigging clamp to merge M10 or M12 screw—-please check the base. For overhead use, always install a safety rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. You must only use safety rope with screw on carabines.

Connection with the Mains:
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. The occupation of the connection cables is as follow:

The earth has to be connected!
Pay attention to the safety!
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. :
Only use a stereo-shielded cable and 3-pin XLR-plugs/5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to controller with the fixture or one fixture with anther.

Occupation of the XLR Connection
DMX-output  DMX-input
XLR mounting-socket  XLR mounting-plug:
1-Ground
2-Signal (-) 7
3-Signal (+)

If you are using the recommended controllers, 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-output, 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 with a terminator. Solder a 120-ohm resistor between Signal (-) and (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug it in the DMX output of the last fixture.

Addressing

The control board on the front side of the base allows you to assing the DMX fixture the address, which is defined as the first channel. For example, if you set the address to channel 5, this lighting will use the channel 5 to 16 for control
Please be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each lighting correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. .

Addressing setting:

1. Turn on the moving head, wait till finishing the reset (RST flashes on the display).
2. The main menu is accessed by pressing the [MODE] key -press this one until the display shows message“R001”. Press [ENTER] to confirm.
3. Use the [UP] and [DOWN] keys to select the required address.
4. Press [ENTER] to confirm or press [MODE] to cancel:

Controlling:
After having addressed the lighting, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the lighting will automatically detect whether DMX512 signal is received or not. If there is no signal received at the DMX input, the display will not flash. This situation can occur if:

• The three-pin XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the moving headlight.
• 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 link in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link.
