• Follow all instructions

Symbols Meaning

The symbol is used to indicate that some hazardous live terminals are involved within this apparatus, even under the normal operating conditions, which may be sufficient to constitute the risk of electric shock or death.

The symbol is used to describe important installation or configuration problems. Not following advice and information on how to avoid such problems may lead to product malfunction.

This symbol indicates a protective grounding terminal.

WARNING: Describes precautions that should be observed to prevent the danger of injury or death to the operator.

To protect the environment, please try to recycle packing material and exhausted consumables as much as possible.

Don’t throw this product away just as general trash, please deal with the product follow the abandon electronic product regulation in your country.

MOUNTING AND RIGGING

Pay attention to safety! Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the national standard during installation. Only authorized technicians can carry out it.

Rigging

• The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolition. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.

• When rigging, de-rigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden. The operator has to make sure that the safety measure and the machine’s technical installation is approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation anther time. He has also to make sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation once a years.
  IMPORTANT: Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or property loss.

• If the fixture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

CAUTION: Use appropriate clamps to rig the fixture on the truss. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

Heat

• Do not use in a confined space. Always install the product in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20in (50 cm) from adjacent surfaces.
• The apparatus should be located away from heat sources such as radiators, stoves or other appliances that produce heat.

Don not use it when maximum ambient temperature is higher than 50°C. Work temperature ranges from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F).

Servicing

Do not implement any servicing other than those means described in the manual. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel only. The internal components of the equipment must be purchased from the manufacturer. Only use accessories/attachments or parts recommended by the manufacturer.

Product Overview

Product Setup

Rear Panel Description

The operation panel includes power and DMX connectors, as well as LED display and control buttons.

Power Input Socket
Plug the power-cord into an AC socket properly configured for this fixture. Please read “6.2. Power and Wiring” on page 9 for details.

Power Output Socket
POWER OUT socket – Mood 1818WP is equipped with an out power connector to be used as power mains source in case of cascade connection up to a maximum of 10 fixtures.

DMX Input
Male 3-pin XLR sockets for connection to a DMX control device

DMX Output
Female 3-pin XLR socket for sending the DMX control signal to other units.

4 Digit LED Display & Control Buttons
This section of rear panel shows the operating mode and allows the user to setup the unit

1. MENU Button – Short-press it to switch the setting pages (please read paragraph “7 – Menu Operation” on page 11 for further details about menus and settings).
2. UP Button – It scrolls up individual items in the selection menu and sub-menus for system settings (DMX address, Operation Mode, etc.) and increases values/ settings of parameters.
3. DOWN Button – It scrolls down individual items in the selection menu and submenus for system settings (DMX address, Operation Mode, etc.) and decreases values/settings of parameters.
4. ENTER Button – Press ENTER to access menu levels and confirm parameter value changes.

Power and Wiring

• Always make sure that the voltage of the outlet to which you are connecting the product is within the range stated in paragraph “10 – Specification”  on page14 or rear panel of the product (AC100V-240V 50/60Hz).
• Make sure the power cord is not crimped or damaged. Never connect this product to a dimmer pack or rheostat.
• Never disconnect the product from power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• To avoid electric shock, all fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable ground and circuit breaker.

Mains Connections

Connect the device to the mains with the supplied power cable. Wire correspondence is as follows:

 The earth must to be connected! Pay attention to the safety! Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert.

Dmx Connection

When use a DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference sources (e.g. intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source).

DMX machines are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which the machines are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to each of them. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.

Connect machines using shielded 2-conductor twisted pair cable with 3 pin XLR male to female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-), and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

CAUTION: Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

DMX Terminator

DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur.
In order to prevent electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last fixture in the chain to a DMX terminator, especially over long signal cable runs.

The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier is a must to connect more fixtures.

3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables

DMX connection protocols used by controllers and fixtures manufacturers are not standardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards:
5-Pin XLR and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect this fixture to a 5-Pin XLR input fixture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself. Below you can see the wiring correspondence between 3-Pin and 5-Pin plug and socket standards.
