DESCRIPTION:

1. LED PIPE SIGNAL INPUT: low voltage signal input to be connected with the signal output of the previous tube or with the signal output cable from the controller. Extra 1m, 5m or 10m signal cable extensions are optionally available.
2. LED PIPE SIGNAL OUTPUT: low voltage signal output to be connected with the signal input of the next tube. Extra 1m, 5m or 10m signal cable extensions are optionally available.
3. POWER INPUT CABLE: To be connected with power output cable of the previous tube or directly with the mains.
4. POWER OUTPUT CABLE: To be connected with the power input cable of the next tube.
5. LED PIPE HOLDERS: Needed to fix the tubes easily against a surface. The shape of the enclosure and the holders makes it possible to hide your cables perfectly behind your construction.
6. DIP SWITCHES: used to setup the different user modes of the tube.
7. PLASTIC COVER: The milky white plastic cover is used to mix the 3 primary colors. If you like you can install the LED PIPE tubes behind a big milky white opaque surface to create an "ever color changing wall". In this case you can try to remove the plastic cover from the LED PIPE to obtain more light output. This can be easily done by removing the 2 small screws on one side of the plastic cover. Once the end cap removed you can easily slide the plastic cover out of the base.

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.
• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device's weight.
• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
• 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 + SETUP

Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.

You can install the tubes in 2 ways: with or without controller.

INSTALLATION WITH CONTROLLER:

1. Fix all the tubes properly to wall or ceiling.
2. Connect the signal cables of all tubes together. Make sure to fasten the plastic ring well. (see n^3 on the picture)
3. Connect the power cables of all tubes together and connect the first unit to the mains. (see n°2 and 3 on the picture) PS: to connect the first unit to the mains, you need an optional mains cable with IEC-socket on one end.
4. Connect the signal input cable of the first tube to the signal output connector of the LED PIPE controller. Eventually use the optional extension cables. (See n°1 on the picture)
5. Switch the controller on and follow the setup of the controller like suggested in the manual of the LED PIPE controller

1. Done!

Remarks:

You can daisy chain up to 1000 tubes on 1 controller. The DIP-switch settings on the individual LED PIPE have no effect in a setup with controller. For detailed explanations on how the controller works and how you can control your setup by DMX, please refer to the user manual for the LED PIPE controller.

INSTALLATION WITHOUT CONTROLLER:

The installation without controller is almost identical so please refer to points 1 to 3 above.

When no controller is connected, the first unit in the chain will act as the master: only use the DIP-switches on this master unit. The DIP-switch settings on the other (slave) LED PIPES have no effect.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

• Once connected to the mains the devices start running.
• You can also connect the units to the LED PIPE controller for extra functions and DMX-control. When used with the controller, please also check its user manual.
• Do not switch the unit on and off in short time intervals as this reduces the lamp life.
• Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before replacing the bulb or start servicing.
• In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
• Important: Don't use the effect in the presence of persons suffering from epilepsy.

MAINTENANCE

• Make sure the area below the installation is free from unwanted persons during servicing.

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.

• The cleaning of 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.
