INSTALLATION

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.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate safety rope.

Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture.

ORIENTATION

This fixture may be mounted in any position provided there is adequate room for ventilation.

RIGGING

The LED moving head provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the bottom of the base, the included 'omega bracket' and the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see illustration). When mounting this fixture on a truss, be sure to use an appropriate

(1) Omega-blockers (2) Clamp (3) Safety-rope (4) Quick-lock fastene

clamp with the included omega bracket using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the 'omega bracket'. As an added safety measure, be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture using one of the safety cable rigging points integrated in the base assembly.

FUSE REPLACEMENT

Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always replace with the same type fuse. With a screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its housing.

Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exactly the same type of fuse.

Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.

Warning: If after replacing the fuse you continue to blow fuses, STOP using the unit. Contact customer support for further instructions. Continuing to use the unit may cause serious damage.

FIXTURE LINKING

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures that the data link can support.

Important: Fixtures on a serial/data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 100 meters.

Data Cabling

To link fixtures together you must use data cables. If you choose to create your own cable, please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

CABLE CONNECTORS

Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

DMX connector configuration

Termination reduces signal errors. To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to connect a DMX signal terminator.

POWER LINK

You can power up to 5 units via the POWER IN/POWER OUT connectors from one single mains outlet. Connect a POWERCON cable from the POWER OUT connector of the 1st unit to the POWER IN connector of the second unit, etc.

Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the controller.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the controller which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3 pin connector.
3. Then, proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.

Master/Slave Fixture Linking

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture

3. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of the first fixture.

4. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3 pin connector to the input connector of the next fixture

Often, the set up for Master-Slave and Stand-alone operation requires that the first fixture in the chain be initialized for this purpose via either settings in the control panel or DIP-switches. Secondly, the fixtures that follow may also require a slave setting. Please consult the "Operating Instructions" section in this manual for complete instructions for this type of setup and configuration.
