INSTALLATION

MOUNTING
This luminaire is supplied with a separate mounting plate. If using the mounting plate refer to the fitting instructions supplied with it.

POWER SUPPLY REQUIREMENTS
This luminaire is powered by a 12V Power Supply Unit or 12V Constant Voltage Driver. Remove the PSU/driver from its box.
Connect the jack plug into the socket in the back, and the illuminator is now ready for connection.

OPERATION

CONNECTION
There are 3 connections required – the fiber port, the mains supply and the DMX cable. The fiber port should be connected first. Connect and secure the fiber optic connector into the silver collar and secure using the M5 locking screw
RJ45 DMX data sockets are provided at the rear of the Illuminator.
DMX data connection details are as follows.

Note:
A termination resistor of 120Ώ should be fitted at the end of DMX universes across DMX + and DMX-. Although systems having a few devices and short cable runs may work well without, it is always recommended that a termination plug be fitted
Plug the mains plug into the electrical supply socket. Switch on power the led Indicator will illuminate and the Illuminator will start up automatically. Before connecting up to DMX control it is recommended that the Illuminator be tested in Standalone manual control

STANDALONE CONTROL
To enter Standalone Mode switch DIP Switch 10 ON (down) and the twinkle wheel will turn slowly. The Illuminator can now be controlled using the DIP switch on the rear as shown in the following table. Colors can be mixed by switching ON different colors at the same time

WHITE COLOURS
In the table above, dip switches 7 and 8 are white only. 9 is rainbow white (white with varying colors)

REMOTE DMX CONTROL
Now set the DMX address and connect up the Illuminators with the Remote Controller using the RJ45 sockets provided on the back of the Illuminator – it doesn’t matter which socket is used.

SETTING THE DMX ADDRESS

The DMX address of each illuminator is set manually using the DIP switch accessible on the rear panel. Each switch number 1-9 indicates a binary number which added together make up the DMX address.
Alternatively use the online calculator from: http://www.sabretechnology.co.uk/calc.asp

Example on right

1. – On
2. – Off
3. – Off
4. On
5. – Off
6. – On
7. – On
8. – Off
9. – Off
10. – Off
    = Address 105

Each illuminator occupies 5 DMX channels see Channel Table below

The Twinkle wheel oscillates backwards and forwards avoiding the open segment. When Channel 5 value is set to 0 the Twinkle wheel will stop opposite the open segment to give full light.

Please note that Canary (bright yellow) is difficult to achieve using the composite colors, and as such is a poor match.

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.
