Installation

The HIPAR-120 is supplied with a dual hanging bracket, which can also be used as a free-standing support.

When installing the fixture, ensure all fixings are secure, controls and connections are accessible and allow enough space for air to circulate around the housing. Do not aim directly in line of sight or very close to people where the extremely bright output of the fixture may be harmful to eyesight.

The HIPAR-120 is IP65 weatherproof and all electrical connections are hard-wired with waterproof connectors. An XLR to waterproof connector is provided for adapting the DMX input lead to a standard DMX signal input. A mains plug to waterproof connector is provided to adapt the power input lead to a standard mains supply.

Connect the waterproof connectors securely, ensuring that the notches are aligned for correct polarity. The waterproof plugs have a threaded collar which must be fully tightened onto the waterproof socket.

The HIPAR-120 also has DMX through and power through leads for connecting onto further HIPAR cans in a daisy-chain manner. Ensure that the mains power supply is capable of the total load of all cans connected.

Standalone operation

To operate the HIPAR-120 in standalone (autonomous) mode, choose any of the settings other than DMX. Auto, sound-activated, strobe and manual colour modes described above will operate without DMX control.

To control further HIPAR cans in master-slave mode, connect the DMX through from a master HIPAR-120 in standalone mode to the DMX input of a "slave" HIPAR can that is set to DMX mode with address doo 1. Further HIPAR cans set to doo 1 may be connected from DMX through to DMX input in a daisy chain.

Auto programs RuO I to RuOB are static preset colours.

Au09 is an 8-colur jump sequence and Au10 is a colour scroll, both controlled by SPO I - SP 16 speed setting.

If the strobe setting is 5±0 1 - 5± 16, a flashing strobe effect will be applied to the Auto program (slow to fast)

5001 is a sound activated 8 colour jump sequence and 5002 is a sound activated colour strobe effect.

Adjusting the values of rxxx, 9xxx, bxxx and bxxx gives a manual colour mix for a custom static colour.

DMX operation

The HIPAR-120 is compatible with standard DMX512 control.

Connect the supplied XLR plug to waterproof socket lead to the DMX input lead of the first HIPAR can in line to be controlled. Connect further HIPAR cans from the DMX through of the first can to the DMX input of the second can and DMX through of the second can to the DMX input of the third can etc. until all HIPAR cans are connected in a daisy-chain.

Connect the XLR plug to a DMX controller, ensuring that this connection is protected from the elements. (the XLR plug is not a waterproof connector)

The HIPAR-120 has 8 DMX channels as described in the table below. Set the DMX value to the appropriate start address via the control panel and this will become the DMX address of channel 1.
