ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL OVERHEAD RIGGING In case of replacement of the lamp or maintenance, do not open the fixture within 10 minutes until the unit cools down after switching off. Always unplug the unit before servicing! Always use the same type of spare parts (bulbs, fuses, etc.) When replacing parts, please only genuine spare parts. Switch off the unit and unplug the mains cable. Wait for about 10 minutes until the unit has been cooled down. Unscrew the 2 screws that close the lamp compartment on the back of the fixture. (number 1 on the picture ) On the inside you will see the lamp socket. Tear the lamp socket gently out of the lamp compartment. Unplug the old lamp. Hold the lamp socket while unplugging the lamp. Hold the lamp socket while pressing the new lamp gently in the socket. Attention! Check the label on the backside of the device or see the technical specifications in this manual to know which lamp should be used. Never install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with higher wattage generate temperatures the device was not designed for. If the device uses a lamp transformer, it will burn due to current overload. Don’t touch the bulb with bare hands! This drastically shortens the lifespan of the lamp. If you touched the lamp, clean it with a cloth and a little denatured alcohol. Wipe the lamp off before installing. Put the new lamp back inside the unit. Be sure that the wires don’t touch the lamp. Close the lamp compartment with the screws. Turn on the unit and point the beam to a white surface. Use the three adjustment screws indicated by “lamp adjust”. Gently turn these three screws until you obtain maximum light output. Done! 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. 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.

HOW TO CONNECT THE UNIT BY DMX 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 light effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. 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! Focus Adjust Used to help you adjusting the focus of the light beam and gobos. Press the MENU button untill is blinking on the display. Press the ENTER button and the unit will focus on center position You are able to adjust the focus with the UP/DOWN buttons on the unit (the display shows the current focus status). To go back to the functions press the MENU button. 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. HOW TO SET THE THE RIGHT STARTING ADDRESS: Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit. The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user manual which starting addresses you have to set because this completely depends on the controller you will use… So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you must set.

HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT

DMX-CONFIGURATION OF IROCK 7S-7B: Every time you turn the unit on, it will show Ir7b/Ir7s on the display and move all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built-in programs. You can operate the unit in three ways: o By master/slave built-in preprogram function o By CA-8 easy controller o By universal DMX controller BY MASTER/SLAVE BUILT-IN PREPROGRAM FUNCTION: 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 “Main Menu” paragraph. SLAVES have 2 working options: The other units are set to slave mode (slaveLED is constantly on). In order to create a great light show you can introduce contrast movements (pan/tilt of slave is inverted) In the menu of the slave units you can go to option and select: Normal slave: slave works in sync with the master. 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: Stand by Blackout the unit Strobe 1.Gobo/Color sync. strobe Function Mode JB SYSTEMS® 9/58 iROCK 7S-7B 2.Sync. strobe 3.Two-light strobe Sound 1 (LED off ) JB SYSTEMS® X/Y moving show mode selection ( Show 1 ~ Show

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!
