OVERHEAD RIGGING

Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.

• Locate the fixture in a well-ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.

• The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

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

• Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.

• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!

• Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.

• The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION : USE WITH BATTERIES:

The projector can also be powered by 1 or 2 rechargeable batteries, equipped with the V-LOCK standard. V-LOCK batteries come in different voltages and capacities: the BT-TVPANEL can use both 14.8V and 26V versions. You can even use both battery models together, only the light output and usage time will be different. Examples, based on 14.8V and 26V batteries, both with 260Wh capacity:

One 14.8V battery installed: the fixture works with 150W reduced output and 1h max. usage time.
Two 14.8V batteries installed: the fixture works with 150W reduced output and 2h max. usage time.
One 26V battery installed: the fixture works with 260W output and 1h max. usage time.
Two 26V batteries installed: the fixture works with 260W output and 2h max. usage time.
14.8V + 26V battery installed: first the 26V battery will be used, followed by the 14.8V battery. NOTE: The max. usage time depends on the capacity (xxx Wh) of the used batteries.

HOW TO INSTALL / REMOVE THE BATTERIES & POWER SUPPLY

Removing the power supply (or battery with V-lock):
Remove both power supply cables from the power supply.
Press the button (C) and slide power supply (or battery) backwards to release it from the contacts (A).
Installing the power supply (or battery):
Slide power supply (battery) into the empty base, making sure the battery is firmly seated in the V-mechanism (B). In doing so, you will hear a “click” sound.
At the power supply, connect both cables. (the battery does not need any cables)

Remark: the BT-TVPANEL has no internal charger, the batteries must be charged in a separate battery charger.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION FOR TWO OR MORE UNITS IN WIRED DMX-MODE : Use this function when you want to control the projectors by any DMX controller.

• Connect the projectors as shown in the drawing below.

• First put the projectors in the desired DMX-mode: see the different DMX- charts and choose the one that suits you best.

• Give all projectors a start address: each projector shows its start + end address, make sure that the addresses do not overlap!

Some general information on DMX:

• The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected units with a balanced cable of good quality.

• Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.

• Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1=GND ~ Pin2=Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3=Positive signal(+)

• Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1=GND ~ Pin2=Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3=Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.

• To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work! • Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.

• Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION USING WIRELESS DMX:

Here we also have different options.

OPTION 1: completely wireless

See the previous chapter to learn how to setup the wireless DMX functions. In this case the W-DMX transmitter send the wireless DMX signal to all the projectors.

OPTION 2: combined wireless + wired DMX

See point 9 in the chapter “Descriptions” to learn about the wireless DMX option. A W-DMX transmitter sends the wireless DMX signal to the first device. This device is the first in a wired DMX chain and acts as a wireless DMX receiver to transfer the entire DMX universe to the other DMX units.

BRITEQ® 10/14 BT-TVPANEL TW

Note: when the projector is switched on the display shows “UPDATE WAIT …” This message informs you that IF you want to upgrade the firmware, you should do it while this message is shown on the display. For normal use you can ignore this message completely.

A. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:

• Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter “Electrical installation” for two or more units in DMX-mode” to learn how to do this (don’t forget to address all units properly!)

B.Standalone 1unit – Manual operation:

• Just connect the projector to the mains.

• In the setup menu the option NO DMX Mode should be set to [Stand-Alone]

• Adjust the DIMMER and CCT knobs

• Refer to points 10+12+13 in chapter DESCRIPTION for more information.

RDM FUNCTIONS / REMOTE SETUP

RDM means “Remote Device Management”. This projector works with a brief set of RDM-functions which means that it can setup a bi-directional communication with an RDM-compatible DMX-controller. Some of these functions are briefly explained below, others will be added in the future.

• The DMX-controller sends out a “discovery command”, all RDM devices respond and send their unique device ID.

• The DMX-controller asks each RDM device for some basic data so it knows which devices are connected. The projector will respond:

• Device name: BT-TVPANEL TW

• Manufacturer: Briteq®

• Category: LED Dimmer

• Firmware: x.x.x.x (firmware version of the projector)

• DMX address: xxx (current DMX start address of the projector)

• DMX footprint: xx (number of DMX-channels used by the projector)

• Personality: xx (current personality or DMX-working mode used by the projectors) • The DMX-controller can send certain commands to each RDM device which allow remote setup of the units. Thanks to this the projector can be setup remotely.

The following functions can be managed remotely:

No more need to take a ladder and set all units one by one!

• DMX START ADDRESS: The start address can be set remotely from 001 to xxx.

• PERSONALITY: The DMX working mode (DMX-chart) can be set remotely.

These 2 functions make it possible to prepare a complete DMX-patch of all projectors on the DMX-controller and send these data to all projectors at once. More functions will be added later.

MAINTENANCE

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.

• Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down. During inspection the following points should be checked:

• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be corroded.

• Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation.

• When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.

• The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.

• In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.

• The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.

• The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.

• Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.

• Always dry the parts carefully.

Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
