• Unpack and check carefully that there is no transportation damage before using the unit
  Please read these instructions carefully and follow the instructions.
  Observe all safety warnings. Never remove safety warnings or other information from the equipment.
• Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked; otherwise the unit will overheated.

WARNING! Before connecting the equipment to the power outlet, first verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the values specified on the equipment. If the equipment has a voltage selection switch, connect the equipment to the power outlet only if the equipment values and the mains power values match. If the included power cord or power adapter does not fit in your wall outlet, contact your electrician.

After connecting the unit, check all cables in order to prevent damage or accidents, e.g., due to tripping hazards.
Make sure that the power cord is never crimped or damaged. Check the unit and the power cord from time to time.
Always disconnect power from the mains, when unit is not used or before cleaning! Only handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.
Unplug the power cord and power adapter from the power outlet if there is a risk of a lightning strike or before extended periods of disuse.

POWERSUPPLY

The label on the backside of the unit indicates the mains voltage to which it must be connected. Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this. Any other voltage than the one indicated may cause irreparable damage to the unit. The unit must also be connected directly to the mains voltage and no dimmer or adjustable power supply may be used.

WARNING! Always connect the unit to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure the unit has an appropriate electrical ground to

avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

CAUTION! The remote control is supplied with a battery inserted. An insulating foil between the battery and the battery contacts prevents the battery from being discharged during storage. Prior to the first operation remove the foil from the battery support on the rear side of the remote control. Otherwise operation of the remote control is not possible.

If the range of the remote control decreases, replace the battery. For this purpose, on the rear side of the remote control press the small bar with the groove to the right (1) and at the same time remove the battery support (2). For operation, two AAA batteries required. When inserting, pay attention that the positive pole of the button cell shows upwards in the support.

CLEANING

The buildup of dust, dirt and other airborne particles will reduce the unit's light output. It will also prevent the unit from cooling correctly, and this will reduce the unit's lifetime. The rate of dirt buildup will vary depending on environmental factors such as airborne dust, use of smoke machines, airflow from ventilation systems, etc. The unit's cooling fans will accelerate buildup, and any smoke particles that are present in the atmosphere will increase the tendency for dirt to clog.

To get the best performance and lifetime from the unit, inspect it regularly and clean it as soon as you see signs of dirt buildup.

Assess the operating environment each time you begin to use the unit. In dusty or smoky conditions, inspect the unit after a few hours and check it frequently the unit may attract dirt faster than you expect. Draw up a cleaning schedule that will make sure that dirt is removed before it can build up.

Use the following guidelines:

• Disconnect the unit from power and allow it to cool completely before cleaning.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives or any other aggressive product to clean the unit.
  Vacuum or use low-pressure compressed air to remove dust and loose particles from surfaces and air vents. Prevent the blades of cooling fans from turning before you aim a vacuum or air jet at the fan, or you may spin the fan too fast and damage it.
• Clean glass components by wiping gently with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak detergent solution. Put the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
• Dry the unit with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before reapplying power.

REPLACING THE FUSE

If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.

Procedure:

Step1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.

Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.

Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.

Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.

MAINTENANCE

This unit is virtually maintenance-free, but you should check the unit regularly for mechanical and electrical aspects.

Assess the operating environment and establish an inspection and cleaning schedule that follows the guidelines below:

• Disconnect the unit from the power supply and allow it to cool completely before inspecting and cleaning.
• Check that the screws and bolts used to install the unit are securely tightened and free from corrosion.
  Check the housing, fixing points and installation points, they must not show any signs of deformation, wear or fatigue.
• Check the mechanically moving parts, these must not show any signs of wear or fatigue.
• Check the electrical power and signal cables, they must not show any damage or fatigue.
• Do not use solvents, abrasives or other aggressive products to clean the unit.
  Wipe the unit and clean the glass plate with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth moistened with a weak cleaning solution. Place the solution on the cloth and not on the surface to be cleaned. Avoid rubbing glass surfaces.
  Dry the unit, connectors and contacts with a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air before re-powering the unit.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

The checklist below may help you troubleshoot in the unlikely event that a problem occurs while using the product:

SYMPTOM	POSSIBLE CAUSE	SUGGESTED ACTION
No response from unit.	No power to unit.	Check that power is turned on. Check cables and connections. Replace mean fuse or contact Beamz support or Beamz authorized service partner. Do not remove base or yoke covers. Do not attempt to replace a fuse or carry out any repairs or service that are not described in this User Manual unless you have both authorization from Beamz support or Beamz authorized service partner.
	Fuse blown or internal fault.
Unit resets correctly but does not respond (or does not respond correctly) to the controller.	The controller is not connected. Bad DMX-line.	Connect controller. Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables. Insert DMX terminator plug in DMX output socket of last unit on DMX-line.
	DMX-line has no end resistance.
	Incorrect unit addressing. A unit is defective and is disturbing data transmission on the DMX-line.	Check unit address and DMX mode settings. Unplug DMX IN and OUT connectors and connect them directly together to bypass one unit at a time until normal operation is regained. Have defective unit serviced by an authorized technician.
	Pin 2 and 3 are reversed in XLR connection.	Inspect connections and cables. Install a phase-reversing cable between the units or swap pin 2 and 3 in the unit, that behaves erratically.
Error after unit reset.	Effect requires mechanical adjustment.	Check unit's software version and error messages for more information. Contact Beamz support or Beamz authorized service partner.
Light output cuts out intermittently.	Unit too hot.	Allow unit to cool. Reduce ambient temperature. Ensure free airflow around unit. Clean unit if necessary.
	LEDs damaged.	Disconnect unit and contact Beamz support or Beamz authorized service partner.
	The power supply settings do not match local AC voltage and frequency.	Disconnect unit. Check settings and correct if necessary.
