Pay attention to safety! Please respectively consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the national standard during the installation. Only authorized technicians can carry out the installation.

Rigging

• The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolition. 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, de-rigging 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 operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation anther time. He has also to make sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation once a years.

IMPORTANT: 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.

• If the fixture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

CAUTION: Use appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

7. Security Eye-Bolt
   In case of rigging, hook a safety cable here. This eye-bolt is intended as a second-ary safety attachment, to prevent damages in the event of fall down if the main attachment (C-Bracket) fails.

 About Power Connection

• Always make sure that the voltage of the outlet you are connecting the product to is within the range stated in paragraph “9 – Specification” on page 15 or rear panel of the product (AC110V-240V 50/60Hz).
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged. Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
• Never disconnect the product from power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• To avoid electric shock, all fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable ground and circuit breaker.
• Wire correspondence is as follows:
  Cable (EU)| Pin| International
  ---|---|---
  Brown| Live| L
  Blue| Neutral| N
  Yellow/Green| Earth|

Earth must be connected! Always pay attention to safety! Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert.

About Dmx Connection

When use a DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference sources (e.g. intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source).

DMX machines are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the machines are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each of them. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling .

Connect machines using shielded 2-conductor twisted pair cable with 3-pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-), and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

CAUTION: Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

DMX Terminator

DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. In order to prevent electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last fixture in the chain to a DMX terminator, especially over long signal cable runs.

The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

Complimentary signal cable can transmit signals to 20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier is a must to connect more fixtures.

3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables

DMX connection protocols used by controllers and fixtures manufacturers are not standardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards: 5-Pin XLR and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect this fixture to a 5-Pin XLR in-put fixture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself. Below you can see the wiring correspondence between 3-Pin and 5-Pin plug and socket standards

MENU OPERATION

By pressing MENU button, the display will cycle through 8 menus. Press ENTER but-ton to enter the corresponding menu, press UP or DOWN to modify current parame-ter value. Then, press ENTER button again to save current value.

Press UP and DOWN keys to adjust address; press ENTER to confirm.

Setting the DMX Address

When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the product channels. PLOT 200FZ uses 2 or 3 DMX channels, which defines the highest configurable address, respectively, to 511 or 508 to have all channels controllable. This allows you to control of up to 256 units in the 2-channel control mode, or 170 units in the 3-channel mode.

DMX Channel Assignments and Values

Below you can see both the 2-channel and 3-channel DMX assignments.
