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.

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 for 1 standalone unit:  Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode. Remark1: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control. Refer to “how to operate the unit” to learn how to do this. Remark2: if there’s no output, please make sure to set the unit in master mode (see next chapter)

1. Mains input with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect the supplied mains cable here.

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

 Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. Put the first unit of the chain in master mode, the rest must be set to slave mode (SL1 or SL2). See the next chapter for more information.  Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.  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 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.

 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

 HOW TO SET THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS:

HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT YOU CAN OPERATE THE UNIT IN 3 WAYS: o By master/slave with built-in preprogrammed functions o By CA-8 easy controller o By any universal DMX controller (1 & 3 channel DMX mode)

 MASTER/SLAVE WITH BUILT-IN PREPROGRAMMED FUNCTIONS: Select this function when you want an instant show. By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. Its DMX input will have nothing plugged into it, and its master-LED will be constantly on and sound-LED will flash to the music. Important! This function only works when the blackout mode in the menu of the master is set to OFF, otherwise nothing will happen! Read more about this option in the “How to setup” paragraph.  MASTER has 8 built-in shows: You can select (show 0) to (show 8) directly in the menu of the master.  SLAVES have 2 working options: These units are set to slave mode (slave-LED is constantly on). In order to create a great light show you can introduce contrast movements  In the menu of the slave units you can go to option and select: o  Normal slave: slave works in sync with the master. o  2 light show: slave works in opposite with the master.  BY EASY CONTROLLER: When used in Master/slave mode we strongly advice you to use the CA-8 “Easy controller” Just connect this small controller to the 1/4” jack of the master unit, and you will be able to control the following FUNCTIONS: Standby

 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!
