JB SYSTEMS® 2/37 LED DEVIL ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL DESCRIPTION: ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING

Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country. Electrical installation in DMX-mode: The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality balanced cable. Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these cables are compatible with balanced audio cables. Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work! Make sure that all units are connected to the mains. Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will learn how to set the DMX addresses.

1. Internal microphone

2. ¼” jack to connect the optional CA-8 controller.

3. DMX input: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables. This input receives

instructions from a DMX-controller or from another Led Devil in master/slave mode.

4. DMX output: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the Led Devil with the next unit in the DMX

chain or with another Led Devil when used in master/slave mode.

5. Large heatsink for the 10W RGB LED (don’t cover!)

6. Mains input with IEC socket, connect the supplied mains cable here. Mains output with IEC socket: you

can use a special IEC power cable to connect this output with the mains input of the next Led Devil for easier linking

8. DIP switches, to set the DMX-starting address.

9. Lenses (don’t expose to direct sunlight!)

10. Hanging bracket with 2 knobs to fasten the unit and a mounting hole to fix a mounting hook.

OVERHEAD RIGGING Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety. Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing. Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls. The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s weight. Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails. The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered! Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating. JB SYSTEMS® 3/37 LED DEVIL DMX input DMX output How to set the DIP-switches to obtain the right starting address: Each of the first 9 DIP-switches correspond to a certain DMX-value: DIP

#10 Slave inversion not used in DMX-mode You can combine the values of these switches to become any starting address between 1 and 512: Begin address = 01 switch 1=ON values: 1 Begin address = 04 switch 3=ON values: 4 Begin address = 07 switch 1+2+3=ON values: 1+2+4 = 7 Begin address = 10 switch 2+4=ON values: 2+8 = 10 Begin address = 62 switch 2+3+4+5+6=ON values: 2+4+8+16+32 = 62

HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT

1. Standalone 1unit:

Important: The DMX address MUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch = ON, all other are OFF) Dipswitch 2 has two functions: OFF: Performs the built-in programs automatically to the rhythm of the music. ON: Auto mode. Eight Chases (dip switch 3 changes the direction of rotation, dip switch 4,5,6 changes the speed)

2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:

Connect 2 or more units together using good quality balanced XLR microphone cables. The unit that has no cable connected to its input will react as master, the others are the slave units. JB SYSTEMS® 4/37 LED DEVIL ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL Important: On the master unit the DMX address MUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch = ON, all other are OFF) The slave units can have any DMX address value but NOT 001! You can inverse the behavior of one or more slave units by changing the position of DIP-switch n°10 on these slaves. Just try it and see if the effect becomes better. Changing DIP-switch n°10 on the master has no effect.

3. Connect the optional CA-8 controller for more control:

The CA-8 controller can only be used in standalone or master/slave mode. Connect the controller to the jack input of the first unit (master). Now you can control all the connected units: Stand by Function Mode Blackout the unit (LED ON) Push for

When the units are connected in DMX-mode, they can be controlled using the following DMX-chart: ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation. When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced. The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected. In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly. The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet. The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products. Always dry the parts carefully. Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days. Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
