REMOTE RANGE WALK TEST

Once the Illuminator is fully installed carry out a complete range walk test and record the range in the table below. This information is essential for maintenance purposes to determine if the range/sensitivity is reducing and also to record dead areas within the Remote Controller’s range due to RF obstructions and/or RF interference.
NOTE 2: Where a Illuminator has more than one Remote Control, reduction in operating range may be experienced when both (or multiple) Remote Controls are used simultaneously.

Description| Date| Max Range|
---|---|---|---
Controller 1| | |
Controller 2| | |
Controller 3| | |
Dead Areas|

STANDALONE OPERATION

To disable the remote and revert to manual operation press one of the buttons on the rear of the Illuminator. The Illuminator will now respond to manual commands from the 2 control buttons as detailed below

OPERATION
The LED Illuminator has 2 color cycles each with 3 different speed settings as detailed below

Cycle| Color 1| Color 2| Color 3| Color 4| Color 5| Color 6| Color 7
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
1| White| Red| Orange| Jade| Green| Cyan| Blue
2| Pink| Red| Orange| Jade| Green| Cyan| Blue

The Illuminator is controlled using the 2 push buttons on the rear of the unit.
The Lower button STOPS and STARTS the color Cycle
The Upper button is used to select the Cycle speed as follows. Push the Lower button repeatedly until the color White is displayed. The illuminator is now in Cycle 1 speed A as detailed below. Each push reduces the speed. On the third push the color Red will be displayed. The illuminator is now in Cycle 2 speed A

Cycle| SPEED A – Fastest| SPEED B – Slower| SPEED C – Slowest
---|---|---|---
1 (White Start)| Push Once| Push Once| Push Once
2 (Red Start)| Push Once| Push Once| Push Once

At any time the cycle can be stopped on a color and started again using the Lower push button
To disable manual operation and revert to remote controller operation, recycle the power to the Illuminator. The Remote Controller may need to be matched to the Illuminator as detailed on page 5.

DMX OPERATION
The MicroLED4000x2 is programmed as a Master unit (See Mode designation label on rear of unit) and is capable of interlinking to a MicroLED 4000SLx2 Slave Illuminator using a RJ45 cable. In this Master /Slave configuration the Slave Illuminator will follow the Master Illuminator, but no control from a remote DMX controller is possible. Remote DMX control can only be achieved using MicroLED SLAVE Illuminators. See MicroLED SLAVE User Guide for DMX wiring connections

MAINTENANCE AND SAFETY GUIDANCE

MAINTENANCE
To ensure a long working life and the safe, reliable operation of the illuminator, it is very important to maintain it properly and ensure it is installed in an appropriate and safe location.
Before performing any maintenance on the illuminator it should be disconnected from the power supply and allowed to cool down.

  • The illuminator vents should be blown out with compressed air at least every 12 months, or more often if located in a dusty environment.
  • After the illuminator has been installed, check the vents to ensure they are clear of dust and debris. Blow out with compressed air if required.
  • The body of the illuminator can be cleaned using a soft damp cloth. Do not use any abrasives on the unit.

Note that a record of all maintenance MUST be kept in the table below, indicating what maintenance was undertaken. This must be dated and is required for warranty purposes.

SAFETY GUIDANCE

  • A gap of 200mm (8”) MUST be left around the unit. This is to allow air to circulate and prevent overheating. The location must have free ventilation and must not have an ambient temperature higher than that specified for the luminaire.
  • The outer body of the illuminator may become hot – keep away from all combustible materials and DO NOT locate this illuminator within 200mm (8”) of any flammable surface.
  • The illuminator must not be run without the fiber optic harness fitted.
