When the light is reverse hanging, make sure the light will not fall from the truss, use the safety cable go through the truss and bracket of the light as a supporting, to avoid the light to fall down. There is no entrance to the work area during mounting. Periodically check if the safety cable has fretted away or clamp is loosened. We will not take any responsibility for damages caused by a badly installed unit.

Power Supply and Signal Cable Connection

1. Mains Power connection

The exclusive plug should be used between the connection of unit and power. Please ensure that the rated voltage and frequency are accordance with the power supply. The required input voltage and frequency are: 100-240VAC

We suggest that every light has an independent switch so that you can turn on or turn off the light randomly.

Note: the ground wire (yellow/green double-color wire) must be safely connected; the electrical installation must be in accordance with the related standards

CAUTION: When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material within a distance of min.5m!

2. Connection of Signal Cable

You can use the 3-pin XLR cable to connect the output socket of the master and the input socket of the slave light. Connect the DIGITAL OUT socket of the master and the IN socket of the slave light, then, connect the OUT socket to the IN socket of the next light. Ordinal to connect all the lights as below:

1 2 3 IN OUT OUT IN OUT IN X R0 X R0

The connection between the output of master and input of product, it's available to use the 3 pins XLR cable which provided by the manufacturer. Signal cable from the DMX output of the controller to the input of the first master light, and connect to the DMX input of second slave light from the DMX output of the first master light, analogously, till connected all the slave lights, and insert the last connector to the output of the final light. (Notice: the diameter of core of every cable should be 0.5mm at least, double core shelter cable should be used). The signal connecting must use the attached 3 pins XLR cable. Notice, all the internal lead wire of the 3 pins XLR cable should not touch to each other or connect to the connector.

A DMX signal terminator is recommended on the last unit of the chain. DMX terminator is a XLR connector with a 120Ω resistor between the pin 2 and pin 3 of the XLR connector
