Frequently Asked Questions - ML-56 COB CW Eurolite

What is the difference between ML-56 COB CW and WW?

The CW model features a cold white LED (approx. 6000K) while the WW model is warm white (approx. 2900K). The ML-56 COB CW/WW version combines both. The CW model may still have a warm white channel for blending if it is the CW/WW variant, but the product name suggests it is only cold white. However, the manual describes both CW and WW channels.

How do I set up DMX control for this fixture?

Connect a DMX controller to the fixture's DMX IN using a 3-pin XLR cable. Set the DMX address via the control board: press Menu, select 'DMX', then use Up/Down to set the address (default 001). Ensure no overlapping channels with other fixtures.

Can I use this light without a DMX controller?

Yes, you can use the Stand-alone mode. Disconnect the DMX cable and use the control board to set dimmer, color, and strobe effects. You can also set a Master/Slave mode to synchronize multiple units without a controller.

What is the strobe effect range?

The strobe effect is adjustable from 0 (off) to 20 (maximum speed) in stand-alone mode. In DMX mode, channel 4 controls strobe: values 0-10 = no strobe, 11-255 = increasing speed.

Is the fixture suitable for outdoor use?

No, this device is for indoor use only. It must be kept away from rain, moisture, and extreme humidity. Operating temperature range is -5°C to +45°C with relative humidity below 50%.

How do I clean the device?

Disconnect from mains before cleaning. Use a soft, lint-free, damp cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents. Clean the housing and lens gently to avoid scratches.

What safety precautions are needed for overhead rigging?

Use appropriate clamps and a secondary safety bond. The installation must hold 10 times the device weight for 1 hour. Ensure minimum distance of 0.5m from flammable materials. Only qualified personnel should perform rigging.

Does the device support power linking?

No, the manual does not mention power linking. Each fixture must be connected directly to mains with its own power cord. Only DMX data can be daisy-chained.

What is the dimmer speed adjustment?

The DIM setting in the control board allows you to change the response time of the LEDs: 'OFF' gives instant response; 'DIM1-4' simulate halogen lamp fading, from fast (1) to very slow (4). This helps match other lights in a setup.

Where can I find replacement parts or accessories?

Official accessories include barndoors (Art. 51913698), Fresnel lens (51913841), filter frame (51913686), safety bond (58010360), DMX cables, and flightcases. Contact your dealer for spare parts. The device has no user-serviceable internal parts.

INSTALLATION

Overhead rigging

DANGER TO LIFE!

Please consider the EN 60598-2-17 and the respective national standards during the installation! llation must only be carried out by an authorized dealer!

The installation of the device 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 device 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 device 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 device. 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 device has to be installed out of the reach of people.

If the device shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Devices in hanging installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do NOT install the device!

Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device'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.

Mount the device with both brackets to your trussing system using an appropriate clamp.

For overhead use, 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

English

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!

Pull the safety bond through the attachment eyelet and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the quick link and tighten the safety screw.

The maximum drop distance must never exceed 20 cm.

A safety bond which already held the strain of a crash or which is defective must not be used again.

Adjust the desired inclination-angle via the mounting-bracket and tighten the fixation screws.

DANGER TO LIFE!

Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert!

Connection with the mains

Connect the device to the mains with the power-plug.

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.

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 XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.

Occupation of the XLR-connection:

DMX-output
XLR mounting-socket:

1: Ground
2: Signal (−)
3: Signal (+)

DMX-input
XLR mounting-plug:

1: Ground
2: Signal (−)
3: Signal (+)

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.

Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between Signal (−) and Signal (+) in the DMX-output of the last fixture.

OPERATION

After you connected the spot to the mains, the LED ML-56 COB CW/WW 100W Floor starts running.

The display lights up and you can choose the desired mode via the buttons MODE, ENTER, UP, DOWN.

The device has two operating modes. It can be operated in Stand Alone or in DMX-controlled mode.

Stand-alone mode

In the stand-alone mode, you can do without a controller. Disconnect the EUROLITE LED ML-56 COB CW/WW 100W Floor from the controller and call the desired setting. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.

Master/Slave-operation

The master/slave-operation enables that several devices can be synchronized and controlled by one master-device.

On the rear of the LED ML-56 COB CW/WW 100W Floor you can find an XLR-jack (DMX Out) and an XLR-plug (DMX In), which can be used for connecting several devices.

English

Choose the device which is to control the effects. Set the desired Master-mode on the master-device. This device then works as master-device and controls all other slave-devices, which are to be connected to the master-device via a DMX cable. Connect the DMX out connectors with the DMX input plug of the next device.

Set the Slave-mode on every slave-device. Please refer to the instructions under Control Board.

Control Board

The Control Board offers several features: you can simply set the starting address, run the pre-programmed program or select a DMX channel mode.

Browse through the menu by pressing Menu. Press Enter in order to select the desired menu. You can change the selection by pressing Up or Down. Press Enter in order to confirm. You can leave every mode by pressing Menu. The functions provided are listed in the following sections.

DMX-controlled operation

You can control the devices individually via your DMX-controller. Every DMX-channel has a different occupation with different features.

The Control Board allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the LED ML-56 COB CW/WW 100W Floor will respond to the controller.

Please, be sure that you don't have any overlapping channels in order to control each LED ML-56 COB CW/WW 100W Floor correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX-chain.

If several LED ML-56 COB CW/WW 100W Floor are addressed similarly, they will work synchronically.

If you set, for example, the address to channel 5, the device will use the channels 5 to 8 for control.

Controlling:

After having addressed the LED ML-56 COB CW/WW 100W Floor, you may now start operating it via your lighting controller.

Note:

After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is data received at the DMX-input, a dot will flash on the display. If there is no data received, the dot will not 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.
