Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power
requirements of the unit.
It’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to avoid electric shock.
Ambient temperature TA: 0℃-40℃.
DO NOT connect the device to any dimmer pack.
During initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not

during
its operation, and allow about 15 minutes for cooling the unit down before replacing bulb or
maintenance as it could be very hot.
Avoid any inflammable liquids, water or metal objects entering the unit. Once it happens, cut off
Please read the instruction carefully which includes important information about
the installation, usage and maintenance.
the mains power immediately.
1/12

DO NOT operate in dirty or dusty environment, do clean fixtures regularly.
DO NOT touch any wire during operation as there might be a hazard of electric shock.
Avoid power wires together twist other cables.
The minimum distance between light output and the illuminated surface must be more than 18
meters.
Disconnect mains power before fuse/lamp replacement or servicing.
Replace fuse/lamp only with the same type.
In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.
Never turn on and off the unit time after time.
The housing, the lenses, or the ultraviolet filter must be replaced if they are visibly damaged.
DO NOT open the unit as there are no user serviceable parts inside.
Never try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to
damage
or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center if needed.
Disconnect the mains power if the fixture is has not been used for a long time.
DO use the original packing materials before transporting it again.
Cautions:
To prevent or reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the unit to rain or
moisture.
Hot lamp explosion hazard. DO NOT open the unit within 15 minutes after switching off.
DO replace the bulb once it is damaged, deformed or life-expired.
DO NOT look directly at the light while the bulb is on.
Never touch bulb with bare fingers, as it is very hot after using.
DO NOT start on the unit without bulb enclosure or when housing is damaged.

7. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions
for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connect power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
3. Check the power on LED to see if it can be light up or not.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if they are linked properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and DMX
polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the unit
or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check to see if 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.
10/12

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 mains voltage either too high or too low.
2. Internal temperature may be too high. Check if replacement of fan is needed on the head.
E. If The pan belt is broken
1. Turn off the mains power.
2. Loosen the screws (A)，open the cover(B).
3. Loosen the motor gear (C).
4. Loosen the screws (D)
5. Unplug all the connect wires over the belt.
6. Change a new belt (E), put the belt around the axis gear and motor gear.
7. Plug all the connect wires back upon the belt.
8. Tighten all the screws.
F. If The tilt belt is broken
1. Turn off the mains power.
2. Loosen all the screws (A) and open the right arm cover (B).
3. Loosen the screws (C) that fix the bridge.
4. Change a new belt (D). Please adjust the tension of the belt properly. Note: do not fix the belt too
tight as it is can easily rupture.
5. Reverse the procedures from step 3 to 2.
8. Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintenance:
A. As the pictures shown above, please replace the cable or cable joints immediately once they’ve
turned yellow.
B. Do maintain the fixtures every two months and make sure that all the screws and terminals have
been locked firmly to make sure the normal performance of the fixtures. Negligence of
maintenance would cause malfunction of the 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
11/12

unit’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth and use normal glass to clean liquid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60
days.
