INCLUDED ITEMS
Each Strand Acclaim LED Zoom spot luminaire includes the following items:

• Strand Acclaim LED Zoom spot
• Quick Start Guide

INSTALLATION

MOUNTING
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit is fi rmly fi xed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Always use a safety cable that can hold up to 12 times the weight of the unit when installing the fi xture. The luminaire must be mounted by professionals.

GOBO HOLDER INSTALLATION

To install the gobo holder:

• Step 1. Loosen the two screws at A and move the shading plate backward. Tighten the two screws to fix it.
• Step 2. Snap the gobo holder into the luminaire.

IRIS INSTALLATION

To install the iris:

• Step 1. Loosen the two screws at A and move the shading plate backward. Tighten the two screws.
• Step 2. Snap the iris into the luminaire as shown.

COLOR FILTER INSTALLATION

To install the color filter:

• Step 1. Attach the accessory holder to the luminaire as shown. Align the screw holes and tighten the four screws at A.
• Step 2. Open the activity claw. Snap the color filter into the accessory holder and then close the activity claw.

ZOOM AND FOCUS ADJUSTMENT

To adjust the zoom and focus:

• Step 1. Loosen the focus or the zoom locking bolt counter-clockwise.
• Step 2. Slide the focus or the zoom locking bolt forward or backward to achieve the desired focus/zoom edge.
• Step 3. Once the luminaire is focused or zoomed, tighten the locking bolt clockwise..

CONNECTING DATA AND POWER

• A maximum of 32 luminaires may be connected in any one DMX data link.
• A maximum of 9 luminaires may be connected in 120V, 60Hz.
• A maximum of 16 luminaires may be connected in 230V, 50Hz.

NOTE: This maximum limit applies to the luminaire “daisy chain” only. Your system or console may require few-er luminaires on a single data link path. Consult your console documentation for more information.

To connect power and data:

• Step 1. Connect data cable from console to first luminaire in chain at DATA IN connector.
• Step 2. If required, connect additional data cables from DATA THRU connectors to DATA IN connectors of remaining luminaires in link.
• Step 3. At last luminaire in link, install male termination connector at DATA THRU connector. (Luminaires and other devices on the same DMX chain may not function properly without termination.)
• Step 4. Connect AC Input Cable connector to power input source.
• Step 5. Dress AC input and data cables and secure them so that they will not interfere with luminaire head and yoke movement

RDM PARAMETER IDs

Remote Device Management (RDM) is a protocol enhancement to USITT DMX512 that allows bi-directional com-munication between a lighting or system controller and attached RDM compliant devices over a standard DMX line. This protocol will allow configuration, status monitoring, and management of these devices in such a way that does not disturb the normal operation of standard DMX512 devices that do not recognize the RDM protocol.

TROUBLeSHOOTinG

The following are a few common problems that may occur during operation

The unit does not work; light and fan do not turn on

• Check the connection of power and main fuse.
• Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.

Not responding to DMX controller

• Check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
• Check the address settings and DMX polarity.
• If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the unit or the previous one.
• Try to use another DMX controller.
• Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.

CLeAninG

The cleaning of internal must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fi xture operates damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fi xture’s optics.

• Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fl uid.
• Always dry the parts carefully.
• Clean the external optics at least every 30 days.

FAN SPEED AND CONTROL

All Vari-lite and Strand lighting luminaires are governed by the same fan speed versus noise levels and maximum power output rules as detailed below. The noise related to these levels conforms to noise criteria levels detailed within the document.
There are three control parameters that can can be selected separately or in conjunction when permitted to manage fan speed versus noise levels and maximum power output.

NOTE: Not all fi xture have all modes or functions. Refer to DMX map and/or user interface menu tree to verify the modes and functions in your fi xture.

FAN VERSUS OUTPUT PRESET MODES
These modes are selectable at either/or the fi fixtures DMX control chan-nel or via the fi xture user interface screen. Boost mode – LED output boosted to

120% of standard output fan speeds increased manage heat level of LED (may be limited to  only run for hrs). The fixture will not exceed NC45 – NC55 sound levels in this mode Standard mode – Full LED Output + Fan Spin at top speed (loudest set-ting). Fixture will not exceed NC40 sound levels in this mode. Studio mode – Fan speed reduced to the appropriate amount to reduce dB levels 10% of full speed + LED @ max output approximately 80% of Standard output at appropriate level to ensure LED work at optimum temperature and output effi ciency (fan speed remains at a constant speed and do not ramp up or down) NC35. Whisper mode – Fan speed reduced to the appropriate amount to reduce dB levels to >30% of the full speed + LED Max out-put approximately 60% of Standard output at appropriate level to ensure LED work at optimum temperature and output effi ciency (Fan speed remains at a constant speed and do not ramp up or down) NC25. Silent mode – ideally Fans do not spin + output capped at appropriate level to ensure LED work at optimum temperature and output efficiency (Fan should never switch on in this mode or change speed if they on) NC15 target level.
