Safety Instructions for Installation

WARNING

• Incorrect installation can cause serious injuries and damage of property.
• If trussing systems are used, installation must be carried out only by instructed or skilled persons.
• Follow all applicable European, national and local safety regulations concerning rigging and trussing.

Personal Protective Equipment

During installation and rigging wear personal protective equipment in compliance with the national and site-specific regulations.

Installation Site Requirements

• The device can be used only indoors.
• The device can be mounted to a truss or another rigging structure in any orientation.
• The minimum distance to other objects must be bigger than 0,5 m.
• The maximum ambient temperature ta = 45 °C must never be exceeded.

Beamshaper Installation

The device is delivered with 2 beamshapers (10° and 40°). To install the beamshapers, follow the steps\ below:

1. Put the beamshaper on the lens of the device. The magnets in the beamshaper will keep it in position.
2. To remove the beamshaper, hold it by the edge and pull it off.

Connecting to Power Supply

DANGER

• Electric shock caused by short-circuit
• The device accepts AC mains power at 100–240 V and 50/60 Hz. Do not supply power at any other voltage or frequency to the device.
• This device falls under IEC protection class I. Make sure that the device is always electrically connected to the ground (earth).

Before connecting the device to the socket-outlet:

• Make sure that the power supply matches the input voltage specified on the information label on the device.
• Make sure that the socket-outlet has ground (earth) connection. Connect the device to the socket-outlet with the power plug. Do not connect the device to a dimmer circuit, as this may damage the device.

Power Linking of Multiple Devices

• This device supports power linking. Power can be relayed to another device via the power OUT connector. Note that the input and the output connectors have different designs: one type cannot be connected to the other.
• Power linking of multiple devices must be carried out only by instructed or skilled persons.

WARNING

Incorrect power linking may lead to overload of the electrical circuit and result in serious injuries and damage of property.

To prevent overload of the electrical circuit, when power linking multiple devices:

• Use cables with sufficient current-carrying capacity. The power cable supplied with the device is not suitable for power linking of multiple devices.
• Make sure that the total current draw of the device and all connected devices does not exceed the rated capacity of the power cables and the circuit breaker.
• Do not link more devices on one power link than the maximum recommended number.

Maximum recommended number of devices:

• at 100–120 V: 50 devices
• at 200–240 V: 50 devices

Setup

Warnings and Precautions

Attention

Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.

Stand-alone Setup

When the Accent Spot SW is not connected to a controller or to other devices, it functions as a standalone device. It can be operated manually.
For more information about the control modes, refer to 6.2. Control Modes on page 18.

DMX Connection

DMX-512 Protocol

• You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a master/slave operating mode.
• The Accent Spot SW has 3-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
• The pin assignment is as follows: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+).
• Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the
• DMX channels of the connected devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.
• To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link.
• In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated splitter/booster, otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.

Note:

• Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m
• Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices

DMX Cables

• Shielded twisted-pair cables with 3-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite
• International dealer or make your own cables.
• If you use XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and unreliable operation of the DMX network.
• When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as shown in Fig. 08.

Master/Slave Setup

• The Accent Spot SW supports master/slave control mode. To connect multiple devices in master/slave setup, follow the steps below:
• Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector.
• Repeat step 1 to connect all devices as shown in Fig. 09. The first connected device will be automatically recognized as the master device.
• Set all subsequent devices as slave devices. See 6.6.5. Slave Mode on page 26 for more information.
• Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device in the setup.

DMX Linking

To connect multiple devices on one DMX data link, follow the steps below:

1. Use a 3-pin DMX cable to connect the DMX OUT connector of the lighting controller to the DMX IN connector of the first device.
2. Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a 3-pin DMX cable.
3. Repeat step 2 to connect all devices in a daisy-chain as shown in Fig. 10.
4. Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device on the data link.

DMX Addressing

In a setup with multiple devices, make sure that you set the DMX starting address of each device correctly. The Accent Spot SW has 3 personalities: 3 channels, 5 channels and 10 channels. If you want to connect multiple devices on one data link and use them in 10-channel mode, for example, follow the steps below:

1. Set the starting address of the 1st device on the data link to 1 (001).
2. Set the starting address of the 2nd device on the data link to 11 (011), as 1 + 10 = 11.
3. Set the starting address of the 3rd device on the data link to 21 (021) as 11 + 10 = 21.
4. Continue assigning the starting addresses of the remaining devices by adding each time 10 to the previous number.

Make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Accent Spot SW correctly. If two or more devices are addressed similarly, they will work similarly
