The installation of the projector has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person once a year. Procedure: The projector should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated. IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury and.or damage to property. The projector has to be installed out of the reach of people. If the projector shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The projector must never be fixed swinging freely in the room. Caution: Projectors may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the projector! Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the projector's weight. DANGER OF FIRE! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly-inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of min. 0.5 m.

CAUTION! Use an appropriate clamp to rig the fixture on the truss. Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.00085201, Version 1.1 39/59 The fixture’s base enables to be mounted in two ways. The Moving-Head can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics (see the drawing). Make sure that the Omega-holder is always in line with the truss structure when installing the device vertically. For overhead use (mounting height >100 cm), always install an appropriate safety bond. You must only use safety bonds and quick links complying with DIN 56927, shackles complying with DIN EN 1677-1 and BGV C1 carbines. The safety bonds, quick links, shackles and the carbines must be sufficiently dimensioned and used correctly in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations (e. g. BGV C1, BGI 810-3). Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have to be followed that this manual can only give in part. The operator must therefore inform himself on the current safety instructions and consider them. The manufacturer cannot be made liable for damages caused by incorrect installations or insufficient safety precautions! Install the safety bond by inserting the quick link in the hole on the bottom of the base. Pull the safety bond over the trussing system etc. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the fixation screw. The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm. A safety bond which already hold the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again. DANGER TO LIFE! Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!

Screw the clamp via a M10 screw and self locking nut onto the Omega-holder. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the Omega-holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the device. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise.00085201, Version 1.1 41/59 Installation of the optional wireless receiver for WDMX-operation (FUTURELIGHT WDR-G4) CAUTION! Prior to installation, disconnect the device from the mains. Risk of electric shock! Installation steps

1. Remove the wireless DMX receiver from the packaging. The module consists of a threaded rod

antenna, a wireless PCB and a connecting cable.

2. Remove the four screws from the control board on the front panel and carefully open the control

board cover, laying it face down. On the left side of the display board you will find two connectors for the wireless DMX receiver.

3. First screw the rod antenna onto the antenna jack then place the antenna along the display board, in

the control board cover.

4. To attach the wireless PCB, loosen the three screws on the display board and remove them. Insert

the plug contacts of the wireless module into the socket on the display board and screw the three screws on again. Insert the plug of the connecting cable into the designated socket.

5. Carefully replace the control board cover onto the control board and tighten the four screws on the

C D00085201, Version 1.1 42/59 DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures

The wires must not come into contact with each other, otherwise the fixtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.

Please note, the starting address depends upon which controller is being used.

Only use a DMX-cable and 3-pin, or 5-pin, XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another. Occupation of the XLR-connection:

If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly with the DMX-input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables. Building a serial DMX-chain: Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected. Not suitable as signal splitter! Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX-output of the last fixture.00085201, Version 1.1 43/59 Connection with the mains Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable. The occupation of the connection-cables is as follows: Cable Pin International Brown Live L Blue Neutral N Yellow/Green Earth

The earth has to be connected! If the device will be directly connected with the local power supply network, a disconnection switch with a minimum opening of 3 mm at every pole has to be included in the permanent electrical installation. The device must only be connected with an electric installation carried out in compliance with the IEC- standards. The electric installation must be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30 mA. Lighting effects must not be connected to dimming-packs. The device is equipped with a lockable power input connector. Plug in the power cord and turn it to the right until it locks. Plug the power cord into a grounded electrical outlet that matches the rated voltage of the machine. On the rear panel, there is a socket (Power Out). Connect the output with the mains input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected. Please note: A maximum of 8 devices may be linked together. After every 8 devices, the fixtures must have a renewed connection with the power mains. OPERATION With the power switch, you can switch the device on and off. After you connected the effect to the mains, the DMB-160 starts running. During the Reset, the motors are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards. Stand Alone operation In the Stand Alone mode, the DMB-160 can be used without controller. Disconnect the DMB-160 from the controller and call the internal program. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board. DMX-controlled operation You can control the projectors individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different features. The individual channels and their features are listed under DMX-protocol. Addressing The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX starting address, which is defined as the first channel from which the DMB-160 will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address in the 17 channel mode to channel 18, the DMB-160 will use the channel 18 to 34 for control. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each DMB-160 correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.00085201, Version 1.1 44/59 If several DMB-160 are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically. Press the Up/Down-buttons for setting the desired starting address. Now you can start operating the DMB- 160 via your lighting controller. Note: After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the display will flash. This situation can occur if: - the XLR plug (cable with DMX signal from controller) is not connected with the input of the device. - the controller is switched off or defective, if the cable or connector is defective or the signal wires are swap in the input connector. Note: It’s necessary to insert the XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last lighting in the link in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link. DMX-protocol

Excursion: A Master unit can send up to 3 different data groups to the Slave units, i.e. a Master unit can start 3 different Slave units, which run 3 different programs. The Master unit sends the 3 program parts in a continuous loop. The Slave unit receives data from the Master unit according to the group which the Slave unit was assigned to. If e.g. a Slave unit is set to „Slave 1“ in the menu „Set to Slave“, the Master unit sends „Auto Program

Part 1“ to the Slave unit. If set to „Slave 2“, the Slave unit receives „Chase Part 2“.

Error Messages When you turn on the fixture, it will make a reset first. The display may show an error message while there are problems with one or more channels. The error message stands for the channels equipped with a testing sensor. For example, when the display shows “Err channel PAN”, it means there is some error in the horizontal movement (PAN), control-channel 1. If there are some errors on several channels at the same time, you may see the error messages flash repeatly for 2 times, and then the fixture will generate a reset signal, all the stepper motors will reset. If the error messages maintain after performing reset more than 2 times, only the channels which have errors can not work properly, others can work as usual. The respective error message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the channels magnetic-indexing circuit malfunction (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The channel feature is not located in the default position after the reset. The different error messages are: PAN Color Wheel Prism Rotation TILT Static Gobo Wheel Focus00085201, Version 1.1 58/59

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test. The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are inspected by a skilled person once a year. The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

1) All screws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tighly connected and must not

2) There must not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling, suspension,

3) Mechanically moved parts like axles, eyes and others must not show any traces of wearing (e.g. material

abrading or damages) and must not rotate with unbalances.

4) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages, material fatigue (e.g. porous cables) or

sediments. Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled installer and any safety problems have to be removed. Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation! DANGER TO LIFE!

We recommend a frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents! The lens has to be replaced when it is obviously damaged, so that its function is impaired, e. g. due to cracks or deep scratches! CAUTION!

The objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to building up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. The cooling-fans should be cleaned monthly. The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum-cleaner or an air-jet. There are no serviceable parts inside the device. Maintenance and service operations are only to be carried out by authorized dealers. Replacing the fuse If the fine-wire fuse of the device fuses, only replace the fuse by a fuse of same type and rating. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead. Procedure: Step 1: Unscrew the fuseholder on the rearpanel with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti- clockwise). Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuseholder.
