04/ Fixture Installation
DO install and operate by qualified operator. Fixture(s) should be installed in areas
outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas were unauthorized personnel
might reach the fixture by hand. NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging,
removing or servicing.
Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping off during
operation. Ensure that the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times
the weight without any deformation. Always attach a safety cable that can hold at least
12 times the weight of the fixture whenever installing this fixture in a suspended
environment to ensure that the fixture will not fall if the clamp fails.
This fixture is fully operational in two different mounting positions: hanging, or fix on the
ceiling. Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent
accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
Hanging the fixture:

- 7 -
Fix the fixture on the ceiling:
1. Drill an expansion screw hole (for M12 expansion screw) in the ceiling.
2. Unscrew the washer and nut of the expansion screw, and insert the expansion screw tube
and screw into the drilled screw hole.
3. Align the hole on the bracket of the fixture with the screw, then put the washer and nut of
the expansion screw in turn and tighten it with a wrench.
4. After tightening the nut, check whether the fixture is installed firmly, then adjust the
fixture to the required angle through the bracket knob.

05/ Control By Universal DMX Controller
5.1 DMX512 Connection
1. To avoid erratic behavior, make sure that the output of the last DMX device in the chain
is terminated by a resistor (120-ohm 1/4W) which is connected between RJ45 PIN 1 (XLR
PIN 3) and RJ45 PIN 2 (XLR PIN 2) of a RJ45 connector (a male XLR connector).
2. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by network cable from the output of the
unit to the input of the next unit. The cable can only be used in series and cannot be
connected in parallel. DMX512 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 1-512.
5. The end of the DMX512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. This device transmits DMX512 signal through RJ45 port.
Positive signal: RJ45 (PIN 1) corresponds to XLR (PIN 3)
Negative signal: RJ45 (PIN 2) corresponds to XLR (PIN 2)
GND: RJ45 (PIN 7/PIN 8) corresponds to XLR (PIN 1)

5.2 Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address
between 1 and 512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.

07/ Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work and no light
Check the connected power.
Measure the voltage.
Check the power indicator to see whether it can be lit up or not.
B. Not responding to the DMX controller
Check whether the DMX connectors and the DMX cables are connected correctly.
Check whether the DMX address is correctly set.
If the intermittent DMX signal problem occurs, check whether the XLR socket and the
signal cable are well connected.
Try it with another DMX controller.
Check whether the DMX cables run near or alongside to the high-voltage cables, which
may damage or interfere with the signal circuit.
08/ Fixture Cleaning
It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean to ensure the maximum light-output
and allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life. The fixture must be cleaned
regularly to avoid dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues building up on or within the fixture. The
cleaning frequency depends on the application environment. Clean the fixture immediately if
the dust enters it to avoid damage to the optical lens due to excessive dust.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended,
under no circumstances should solvents be used.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optical lens at least every 20 days and the internal optical lens every
30 days.
