Safety Recommendations
- Please read the instructions carefully. They contain important information about the installation, operation and maintenance.
- Keep this User Manual for future reference. If you sell the unit to another user, be sure that he also receives this instruction booklet.
- Unpack and check the unit carefully that it has not been damaged during transport before using the unit.
- 1Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power requirements of the unit.
- The unit is for indoor use only in a dry location.
- It is essential that the unit is earthed. Only connect to a wall outlet with earth connection.
- The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 0.5m from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
- Disconnect mains power before fuse replacement or servicing.
- Make sure there are no inflammable materials close to the unit during operation.
- In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.
- Never try to repair the unit by yourself. Repair carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center and always use the same type of spare parts.
- Do not touch any wires during operation as high voltage might be causing electric shock.
- The light source of this unit is not replaceable. If it is faulty, the unit must be discarded.
- The product is for decorative purposes only and not suitable as a household room illumination.
DISCONNECT DEVICE
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device,
the disconnect device shall remain readily operable.
The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol, within an equilateral Triangle,
is intended to alert the user to the presence of not insulated dangerous
voltages within the product’s enclosure that may be of sufmcient magnitude to
constitute a risk of electric shock to persons.
The exclamation point within an equilateral triangle is intended to alert the
user to the presence of important operating and maintenance (servicing)
instructions in the literature accompanying the appliance.
Installation
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure
that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating.
Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure
and able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Also always use
a safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the unit when installing
the fixture. The equipment must be fixed by professionals at a place where is
out of the reach of people and where nobody can pass by or under it.
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures
using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more
fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels
required by all fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of
fixtures that the data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial/data link must be daisy chained in one
single line. Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 100 meters (1640
ft.) Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a serial data link: 32 fixtures
CABLE CONNECTORS
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector
on the other end.
DMX connector configuration
Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal transmission problems and
interference, it is always advisable to connect a DMX signal terminator.
CAUTION
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground.
Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform
erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to check correct polarity and to
make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link
- Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the controller.
- Connect the end of the cable coming from the controller which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
- Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.
DMX address setting
Each fixture must have a specific starting address. When receiving signal
transmission, every fixture will receive channels control signals for its own
starting address.
The user can set several fixtures to the same address or set up a separate
address for every device. If more than one fixture is set to the same address,
all of them receive the same DMX channels signals. All connected fixtures are
jointly controlled; the controller can’t control a device separately. If every
device is set to a different address, it will receive different DMX signals
corresponding to its starting address.
This device has 9 or 17 channels. So, if the device is set to 9CH and the
first device’s starting address is set to 1, second is 10 (1+9), third is 19
(10+9) and so on.
Control Panel
The control panel is the mechanism for configuring the settings. It has a
small LCD screen and four buttons, which are described below.
