POWERSUPPLY
The label on the backside of the unit indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply.
**WARNING! Always connect the unit to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
RIGGING**
The unit may be set up on a stable and even surface. By means of the fixing facilities of the baseplate, the unit can also be mounted upside down to a truss, see the below picture. For fixing, certified clamps with the correct save working load are required. According to the figure, the quick lock bolts of the omega brackets are placed into the openings provided in the base plate and turned clockwise until they lock (to the stop). The mounting place must be of sufficient stability and be able to support a weight of 10 times the unit’s weight. Secure the unit with a safety cable so that it cannot fall down. When carrying out any installation, always comply with European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss, and all other safety issues. Always let the installation be checked out by an authorized dealer!

OMX512 CONTROL
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.

CAUTION At the last unit, you must close the DMX line with a terminating resistor. Take an XLR connector and solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) and connect it to the DMX output of the last unit in the line.

ROM CONTROL
This unit can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) via DMX512. RDM is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open standard for DMX512 configuration and status monitoring. The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 line without affecting the existing non-RDM equipment. The system allows a controller or special RDM controller to send and receive commands from specific fixtures. The RDM function allows you. for example to remotely set the DMX start address of your fixtures. This is especially useful when the fixture is installed in an inaccessible location. Each unit has an RDM UID (unique identification number).

DISPLAY
This unit has a touchscreen display as well as 4 control buttons. Navigate the menu structure by pressing the buttons on the side of the display, or touching the desired menu option on the display directly. The touchscreen can be calibrated through the display options in the menu.

| MENU| Exits from the current menu or function
---|---|---
| UP| Navigates upwards through the menu list or increases the numeric value when in a function
| DOWN| Navigates downwards through the menu list or decreases the numeric value when in a function
| ENTER| Enables the currently displayed menu or sets the currently selected value into the selected function

BATTERY POWERED DISPLAY
The display and control panel are powered by an onboard battery. This gives access to the most important functions in the control panel, including DMX addressing, when the unit is not connected to AC power. To activate the display when the unit is not connected to power, press and hold the Menu button for a few seconds. The display extinguishes after 60 seconds automatically when no activity.

TRANSPORT SECURITY

The unit is equipped with Pan/Tilt lock to prevent damage during transport.
WARNING! Pan/Tilt transport protection must be unlocked before the unit will be in use!
LOCK
Lock the unit by sliding the lock pin to the left (horizontally) for Pan or up ( vertically) for Tilt.
UNLOCK
Unlock the unit by sliding the lock pin to the right (horizontally) for Pan or down ( vertically) for Tilt.

EXCHANGING GOBOS
WARNING! Turn the unit off, disconnect the mains power supply and let the unit cool down sufficiently before you will start inserting or exchanging gobos.
If you wish to use other patterns as the standard gobos, make sure that the gobo which you want to insert or exchange has exactly the same size, please follow the instructions below:

• Remove the spring with an appropriate tool.
• Remove the gobo and insert the new gobo.
• Press the spring together and insert it in front of the gobo.

GLASS GOBO
Coated glass gobos are inserted with the coating against the rim of the holder (away from the spring). Textured gobos are inserted with the smooth side against the spring.

GOBO DIMENSIONS

Outer Diameter (0.D): 24.8mm
Image Diameter (I.D) : 21mm
Max. thickness:1.1 mm

CLEANING
The buildup of dust, dirt, and other airborne particles will reduce the unit’s light output. It will also prevent the unit from cooling correctly, and this will reduce the unit’s lifetime. The rate of dirt buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as airborne dust, the use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The unit’s cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present in the atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog. To get the best performance and lifetime from the unit, inspect it regularly and clean it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup. Assess the operating environment each time you begin to use the unit. In dusty or smoky conditions, inspect the unit after a few hours and check it frequently the unit may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw up a cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build up. Use the following guidelines:

• Disconnect the unit from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives, or any other aggressive product to clean the unit.
• Vacuum or use low-pressure compressed air to remove dust and lose particles from surfaces and air vents. Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you aim a vacuum or air jet at the fan, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
• Clean glass components by wiping gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Put the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
• Dry the unit with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before reapplying power.

REPLACING THE FUSE
If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug the main lead.
Procedure:
Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.
Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
