Product Overview

Two diffusers are supplied with the spotlight, each with a different beam angle (32°, 45°). The beam angle of the spotlight can be set at 22° (without diffuser), 32°, or 45°. Insert the desired diffuser in front of the light- emitting lens and turn it anti-clockwise like with a bayonet cap until the four outer nibs on the edge of the diffuser grip in position in their brackets in the lens hood. The four magnets in the diffuser and the four opposing magnets set into the lens hood are now directly over each other and the diffuser is securely held in place. Ensure that the side of the diffuser with the magnets set into it is facing the spotlight and that the recess in the edge of the diffuser is in the flat area of the lens hood.

INSTALLATION AND MOUNTNG

Thanks to the wide stand and mounting bracket, the spotlight can be positioned in a suitable location on a level surface. Installation on a traverse is possible with a traverse clamp, which is attached to the mounting bracket (A). Suitable traverse clamps are optionally available. Ensure firm connections and secure the spotlight by attaching a suitable safety cable to the securing lug on the mounting bracket. When installing on a truss, ensure that the mounting bracket is securely attached to the spotlight housing with the four T20 Torx screws (B).

Important safety notice: Overhead mounting (especially above people) requires extensive experience, including calculation of the load limit values of the installation material, and regular safety inspection of all installation materials and spotlights. If you do not have these qualifications, do not attempt to perform an installation yourself. Refer instead to a qualified professional.
Installation Instructions

In order to effectively use the tilt function with the tilt screw when using as an uplight, and to achieve a more inconspicuous look, you must use a suitable tool to remove the mounting bracket by releasing the four T20 Torx screws (B) that secure the mounting bracket to the spotlight housing.
Installation Instructions

DMX TECHNOLOGY

DMX-512
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is the designation for a universal transmission protocol for communications between corresponding devices and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data to the connected DMX device(s). The DMX data is always transmitted as a serial data stream that is forwarded from one connected device to the next via the “DMX IN” and “DMX OUT” connectors (XLR plug-type connectors) that are found on every DMX capable device, provided the maximum number of devices does not exceed 32 units. The last device in the chain needs to be equipped with a terminator (terminating resistor).

DMX CONNECTION
DMX is the common “language” via which a very wide range of types and models of equipment from various manufacturers can be connected with one another and controlled via a central controller, provided that all of the devices and the controller are DMX compatible. For optimum data transmission, it is necessary to keep the connecting cables between the individual devices as short as possible. The order in which the devices are integrated in the DMX network has no influence on the addresses. Thus the device with the DMX address 1 can be located at any position in the (serial) DMX chain: at the beginning, at the end or somewhere in the middle. If the DMX address 1 is assigned to a device, the controller “knows” that it should send all data allocated to address 1 to this device regardless of its position in the DMX network.

SERIAL CONNECTION OF MULTIPLE LIGHTS

Connect the male XLR connector (3-pin or 5-pin) of the DMX cable to the DMX output (female XLR socket) of the first DMX device (e.g. DMX-Controller).
Connect the female 3-pin XLR connector of the DMX cable connected to the first projector to the DMX input (male 3-pin socket) of the next DMX device. In the same way, connect the DMX output of this device to the DMX input of the next device and repeat until all devices have been connected. Please note that as a rule, DMX devices are connected in series and connections cannot be shared without active splitters. The maximum number of DMX devices in a DMX chain should not exceed 32 units.

The Adam Hall 3 STAR, 4 STAR, and 5 STAR product ranges include an extensive selection of suitable cables

DMX CABLES
When fabricating your own cables, always observe the illustrations on this page. Never connect the shielding of the cable to the ground contact of the plug, and always make certain that the shielding does not come into contact with the housing of the XLR plug. If the shielding is connected to the ground, this can lead to short-circuiting and system malfunctions.
