POWERSUPPLY
On the label on the backside of the unit is indicated on this type of power supply must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this, all other voltages than specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged. The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used. No dimmer or adjustable power supply. The unit has a powerconnector output on board. Depending on the local conditions several units can be linked by power connection in- and output. Connect a maximum of four (when using 230V/16A) units in a row. Use an approved three-core cable with a cross- section of at least 1.5 mm. The installation instructions of the manufacturer and the colour coding of the cable must be observed. Do not turn off the unit by turning the powerconnector but use the power on/off switch or schuko!
WARNING! Always connect the unit to a protected circuit lcircuit breaker or fusel. Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
RIGGING
In temporary installations, you can suspend the fixture from a rigging truss by means of a rigging clamp that is approved for the weight of the fixture securely fastened through the hole in the center of the bracket (A). The fixture must be instaled hanging vertically downwards only. When using a rigging clamp, secure the fixture with a safeby cable, that is approved for the weight of the fixture so that the safety cable wll hold the fixture if the rigging clampP fails. Remove as much slack as possible from the safeły cable (by looping it more than once around the truss chord, for example). Check that the truss and all fasteners used can support 10 times the weight of all he fixtures and equipment that they will support. When carrying out any installation, always comply European and national guidelines concerning rigging, truss and all other safety issues. Always let the installation checked out by an authorized dealer!
MOUNTING ON A SURFACE
To anchor the mounting bracket to a wall or other flat surface, use three high-strength corrosion-resistant fasteners that are safe for the application. Use selflocking nuts! Install washers under all nuts and bolt heads. Make sure that there is a washer between each fastener and the bracket. Ensure that the surface and all fasteners used can support 10 times the weight of all the fixtures and equipment that they will support. Fasten the center of the bracket with a 10 mm (25/64inch) shaft diameter bolt in the center hole A. Then use two bolts with 8 mm (5/16 inch) shaft diameter passing through the curved slots B to anchor the fixture. This setup will give approximately 90° of pan adjustment.
DMX512 cONTROL
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMXoutput of
the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain.
Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until
all units are connected
CAUTION
At the last unit, you must close the DMX line with a terminating resistor.
Take an XLR connector and solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and
signal (+) and connect it to the DMX output of the last unit in the line.
RDM CONTROL
This unit can communicate using RDM [Remote Device Management) via DMX512. RDM
is a bi-directional communication protocol for use in DMX512 control systems,
it is the open standard for DMX512 configuration and status monitoring. The
RUM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMXS12 line without
attecting the existing non-RUM equipment. Ihe system allows a controller or
special RUM controller to send and receve commands from specihic fixtures. Ihe
RDM function allows you, for example to remotely set the DMX start address of
your fixtures. I his is especially usetul when the fixture is instaled in an
inaccessible location. Each unit has an RDM UID lunique identification
number).
PROTECTION CLASS IP65
Units with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected
against contact (first code number). They are also protected against splash
water from any angle lsecond code digit. Ihat is why this unit can also be
used out- doors. tvents units are generally only designed for temporary use
however levent lighting) and not for permanent Use outdoors. Ihe specified
protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the
units resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the effects
of sunlight and UV rays). The seals and screw connections of the units must be
checked regularly to ensure a taulE-tree operation.
MAINTENANCE
This unit is virtually maintenance-free, but you should check the unit regularly for mechanical and electrical aspects. Assess the operating environment and establish an inspection and cleaning schedule that follows the guidelines below Disconnect the unit from the power supply and llow it to cool completely before inspecting and cleaning. Check that the screws and bolts used to install the unit are securely tightened and free from corrosion. Check the housing. fixing points and installation points, they must not show any signs of detormation, wear or fatigue. Check the mechanically moving parts, these must not show any signs of wear or fatigue. Check the electrical power and signal cables, they must not show any damage or fatigue. Do not use solvents, abrasives or other aggressive products to clean the unit Wipe the unit and clean the glass plate with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak cleaning solution. Place the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces. Dry the unit, connectors, and contacts with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before re-powering the unit
