3. Try to use another DMX controller.
4. Check in the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
D. The lamp is cutting out intermittently
1. The lamp is not working well. Check the main voltage either too high or too low.
2. Internal temperature may be too high. Check and if necessary replace the fan.
9. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors 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 unit’s optics.
yClean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
yAlways dry the parts carefully.
yClean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.

1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. 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 unit.
2. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit
to the input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. DMX
512 is a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or
corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit,
when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have a DMX address to receive the data by the controller.
The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin4, Pin5
not used.
7.2 Dedicated Controller
IF-series has 6 channels for international protocol DMX512. It can finish all operations via
dedicated controller without using other controllers. When the power is switched on, the
projector automatically starts to run the self-test. After finishing these, the fixture is ready for
operation.
ATTENTION
Only connect the universal controller to the “DMX IN” connector, or it wil burnt out!
Termination reduces signal errors and to avoid signal transmission problems and
interference. It is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal (Resistance 120 ohm 1/4W

yBecause of its high internal pressure, there might be a risk that the Discharge
lamp would explode during operation. The lamp emits intense UV radiation which
is harmful to the eyes and skin. The high luminance of the arc can cause severe
damage to the retina if looks directly at the lamp.
yTo protect the lamp, always turn off the lamp first (via control panel or DMX
controller) and let the unit run at least five minutes before switching off the mains
supply, never handle the lamp or luminaire when it is hot.
yDo not touch the bulb with bare hands. If this happens, clean the lamp with
denatured alcohol and wipe it with a lint free cloth before installation.
yThe lamp generates UV radiation. Never operate the lamp without appropriate
shielding.
yWhen lighting up, the lamp operates at high pressure and there is a slight risk of arc
tube rupture. The risk increases with age, temperature and improper handling of the
lamp. Do not use the lamp longer than its lifespan.
yMake sure the lamp is located in the center of the reflector for the best projection.
