Frequently Asked Questions - Led Parbar MAX

How to connect multiple devices via DMX?

Connect the DMX output of the controller to the input of the first device, then the output of the latter to the input of the next. On the last device, plug a 120 Ω resistor between the (-) and (+) signals on a 3-pin XLR connector to terminate the chain.

Can I use a dimmer with this device?

No, it is strictly forbidden to use a rheostat or dimmer. This could damage the device and void the warranty.

How to clean the lenses of the LED bar?

Use a soft cloth and glass cleaning liquid. Clean external optics at least once a month and internal optics every 30 to 60 days. Internal cleaning must be done by a qualified technician.

What to do if the device does not turn on?

First check that the power cord is plugged in and the socket is powered. If the fuse is defective, replace it with a fuse of the same type and rating (disconnect the device before). If the problem persists, contact a technician.

How to use the infrared remote control?

Point the remote towards the front of the device at a maximum distance of 9 meters. Use keys A1 to A5 for modes (Full on, Chase, Sound, Strobe) and the Color +/- and Speed +/- buttons to adjust color and speed.

Can the device be used outdoors?

No, the device is designed for indoor use only. Do not expose it to rain, humidity, or temperatures outside the range of 5°C to 35°C.

How to replace the fuse?

Disconnect the device from the mains. Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a small screwdriver, remove the old fuse and insert a new one of the same type and rating. Close the fuse holder.

Can I mount the device on the ceiling?

Yes, but it must be mounted at least 50 cm from any flammable material and 1 m from any surface for cooling. Use a support capable of holding 10 times the device weight for one hour without deformation, and add a secondary safety attachment (sling or net) for safety.

How many devices can I daisy chain via DMX?

The maximum number of devices in a DMX chain is not specified in the manual, but it is recommended not to exceed 32 devices to avoid signal loss. Use a terminator on the last device.

What to do in case of condensation after transport?

If the device has been exposed to significant temperature variations, do not turn it on immediately. Leave it off until it reaches room temperature to avoid damage from condensation.

• Housings, fixations and installations spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation
- 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 fixture from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
- The interior of the fixture should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
- Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
• Always dry the parts carefully.
- Clean the external optics at least every month. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.

ATTENTION: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified worker!
