Setup

AC Power
The EVE P-130 RGB has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the product’s average current draw under normal conditions.

  • Always connect the product to a protected circuit (a circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
  • To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of nonuse completely disconnect the product from power via breaker or by unplugging it.

Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Fuse Replacement

  1. Disconnect the product from power.
  2. Using a flat-head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder cap from the housing.
  3. Remove the blown fuse.
  4. Replace with a fuse of the same type and rating.
  5. Screw the fuse holder cap back in place and reconnect power.

Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.

Master/Slave Mode (Wired)

The Master/Slave mode allows a single EVE P-130 RGB product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more EVE P-130 RGB products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller. The master product will be set to operate in Stand-Alone, while the slave products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:

  1. Press repeatedly until 3-CH, 4-CH, or 9-CH shows on the display.
  2. Press to accept.
  3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
  4. Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
  5. Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous slave product.
  6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

  1. Set the master product to operate in Stand-Alone mode.
  2. Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
  • Configure all the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
  • Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
  • Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

Master/Slave Mode (D-Fi USB)

The D-Fi USB allows a single EVE P-130 RGB product (the “master”) to control the actions of one or more EVE P-130 RGB products (the “slaves”) without the need of a DMX controller or DMX cables. The master (transmitter) product will be set to operate in Stand-Alone mode, while the slave (receiver) products will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below.
Slave products:

  1. Press repeatedly until 3-CH, 4-CH, or 9-CH shows on the display.
  2. Press to accept.
  3. Set the DMX address to d 1.
  4. Set the D-Fi USB to receive on a specific channel, 1–16.
  5. Plug in the D-Fi USB.
  6. Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.

Master product:

  1. Set the master product to operate in Stand-Alone mode.
  2. Set the D-Fi USB to transmit on the D-Fi channel the slaves are receiving on.
  3. Plug in the D-Fi USB.
  • All products must be set to the same DMX personality, DMX address, and D-Fi channel.
  • Configure all the slave products before configuring the master to transmit.
  • Never connect a DMX controller to a D-Fi channel configured for Master/Slave operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.

Maintenance

Product Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life and/or mechanical wear. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean your lighting products at least twice a month. However, be aware that usage and environmental conditions could be contributing factors to increase the cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:

  1. Unplug the product from power.
  2. Wait until the product is at room temperature.
  3. Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on the external surface/vents.
  4. Clean all transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution, ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
  5. Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
  6. Softly drag any dirt or grime to the outside of the transparent surface.
  7. Gently polish the transparent surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

Always dry the transparent surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
