Frequently Asked Questions - LED-UV212 BEGLEC

How to install the LED-UV212 projector overhead?

Installation must be carried out by qualified personnel. Use a standard clamp to attach the unit to an aluminum superstructure. Ensure the mounting point can support at least 10 times the weight of the unit. Always use a secondary safety cable capable of supporting 12 times the weight, and ensure no part can fall more than 20 cm if the main support fails.

How to set the DMX start address?

Press MENU until Rddr is displayed. Press ENTER, then use DOWN and UP to change the address. Confirm with ENTER. For automatic addressing of multiple units in a chain, connect all DMX inputs/outputs, power on the units, then on the first unit press MENU until MENU is displayed and press ENTER. Subsequent addresses will be assigned automatically.

How to use master/slave mode?

Connect 2 to 16 units using balanced DMX cables. The unit without a cable connected to its DMX input becomes the master; the others are slaves. Power on all units: they will operate synchronized to the music. You can connect a CA-8 remote to the master for more control.

What to do if the unit does not power on?

First check the power cable and the mains outlet. Make sure the voltage matches that indicated on the label (100-240 V). If nothing happens, the fuse may have blown: disconnect the unit, replace the fuse with an identical one (250 V, 6.3 A slow-blow, 20 mm glass). If the problem persists, contact a qualified technician.

How to clean the projector lenses?

Disconnect the unit and let it cool down. Use a soft cloth with a glass cleaning product. Clean external optics at least once every 30 days and internal optics every 90 days. For internal cleaning, call a professional.

What are the available operating modes?

The unit offers several modes: standalone (constant intensity or music-synchronized), master/slave (up to 16 units), and DMX (1 or 2 channels). In DMX mode, channel 1 controls on/off; channel 2 allows variable strobe, music control, and dimming. In standalone mode, you can manually adjust strobe and dimmer via the HdnU menu.

Can I use this projector outdoors?

No, this unit is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain, moisture, or temperatures above 40°C. Condensation can damage the unit; let it adapt to ambient temperature after transport.

How to daisy chain multiple units for power?

Use a special IEC cable to connect the IEC output of one unit to the IEC input of the next. You can form a chain of up to 50 units. Ensure total power does not exceed circuit capacity.

What to do if the screen displays an error message or does not respond?

Try resetting the unit by disconnecting it from the mains for a few seconds. If the problem persists, check that you are using the correct buttons: press MENU to navigate, ENTER to select, DOWN/UP to change. To exit a menu, hold MENU for 2 seconds or wait 8 seconds. If nothing works, contact customer service.

How to adjust strobe and dimmer in standalone mode?

Press MENU until HdnU is displayed. Press ENTER. Use DOWN/UP to select Stro (strobe) or dIM (dimmer). Confirm with ENTER, then set the value from 000 (minimum effect) to 255 (maximum effect). Confirm again. To return to normal mode, hold MENU for 2 seconds.

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.
