1- Safety Instructions

WARNING Please keep this User Manual for future consultation. If you sell the fixture to another user, be sure that he also receives this instruction booklet. Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the fixture. It’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to avoid electric shock. Disconnect main power before servicing and maintenance. Maximum ambient temperature is Ta : 40℃. Don’t operate it where the temperature is higher than this. In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the fixture immediately. Never try to repair the fixture by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. There are no user serviceable parts inside the fixture. Do not connect the device to any dimmer pack. To prevent or reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the fixture to rain or moisture. Do not look directly at the LED light beam while the fixture is on. Do not touch any wire during operation. The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times of the weight of the unit when installing the fixture. Please read the instructions carefully which include important information about the installation, operation and maintenance.12 The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a place where is out of the touch of people and has no one pass by or under it.

4. How To Control The Unit

You can operate the unit in three ways:

1. By master/slave built-in preprogram function

2. By DMX controller

3. By sound detection

Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function The fixture will allow you to link 16 fixtures together and operate without a controller. In Master/Slave mode, the first fixture will control the others to give an15 automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you want an instant show. The first fixture it’s DMX input cable will have nothing connect it, and the other fixtures will be set in slave mode automatically. Their DMX input cables connect the last fixture DMX output cable (daisy chain). Any fixture can act as a Master or as a Slave

DMX Controller The fixture can be set the DMX address remotely by universal DMX controller. First, you need to programming two scenes into a chase, and then link the fixtures to the universal DMX controller. When you run the chase, all the fixtures of the chain will be set the series DMX address automatically. The fixture uses four channels. Please refer to the following diagram to set the address for the first four units. 10 channels DMX protocol : Channel Features Instructions

DMX512 Connections The DMX512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.

If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter-cable.

Connect the fixture together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the fixture to the input of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system

The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit when one of the units’ power is disconnected.

At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal errors. Solder a 120-ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 118 are equal to 1).

3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.

Pin4/5: Not Used. Troubleshooting Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some suggestions for easy troubleshooting: The fixture does not work, no light o Check the connection of power and main fuse. o Measure the mains voltage on the main connector. Not responding to DMX controller o DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly. o If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and DMX polarity. o If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the fixture or the previous one. o Try to use another DMX controller. o Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit. Some fixtures don’t respond to the easy controller o You may have a break in the DMX cabling. o Check the LED for the response of the master/ slave mode signal. No response to the sound o Make sure the fixture does not receive DMX signal. o Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone. Fixture Cleaning The cleaning of internal 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 surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s19 optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Always dry the parts carefully. Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days
