ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

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 for 1 standalone unit:

• Insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in the last selected stand-alone mode.
  Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between static and sound mode.

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control.

Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:

• Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that has no cable connected to its DMX-input is the "master", the others are the slave units.
• Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
  Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information.
• Done!

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control over the master/slave operation.

Electrical installation for two or more units 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.

• To prevent strange behavior of the DMIX CONTROLLER light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90 to 120 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 start address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the section HOW TO SETUP you will learn how to set the DMX addresses. Remember that each projector uses 1 or 2 channels, a possible address setup for 2ch mode could be: unit1 = 001 ~ unit2 = 003 ~ unit3 = 005 ~ unit4 = 007 ~ etc.

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.
• 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 10 times 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.
• 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.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. Standalone 1unit:

• Just connect the projector to the mains and put on some music. The unit starts working automatically to the rhythm of the music.
  Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between static and sound mode.

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control.

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

• Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together. Refer to the chapter "electrical installation" to learn how to do this.
• Connect all units to the mains and put on some music. The units will start working automatically to the rhythm of the music. Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information.

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control over the master/slave operation.

C. 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

CA-8 input of the first unit (master). Now you can control all the connected units:

BUTTON	ACTIONS
STANDBY	To blackout all the fixtures
FUNCTION	1. Synchronous strobe 2. Two light strobe	Adjust dimmer level from 000 to 255
MODE	Strobe (LED OFF)	Color select (LED ON)

D. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:

• Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter "Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode" to learn how to do this (don't forget to address all units properly!)
• Connect all units to the mains and turn on the DMX controller.

Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit uses 1 or 2 DMX-channels as shown in the DMX chart below:

DMX512 Configuration
Ch1	Ch1	Ch2
ON/OFF	Strobe	Dimmer
128-255 ON 0-127 OFF	249-255 Sound Active 8-248 S 0-7 Stop	255 100% 0%

MAINTENANCE

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
• Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.

During inspection the following points should be checked:

• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be corroded.
• 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!
