INTRODUCTION
Dear customer,
after the great success of the LED luminaire ASTERION II, we are introducing a
new range of this fitting. The luminaire ASTERION II is a giant technological leap
forward. It has all the modern technologies, including wireless DMX with the
support of RDM from the Swedish company Lumen Radio.
The luminaire ASTERION II builds on the successful concept of the previous
optical type with an approx. 40% increase in light output at a slight increase in
power consumption from 280W to 300W. The light homogenity is increased by
using a large number of LEDs (360 pieces) in one narrow line.
The luminaire ASTERION II has only passive cooling, therefore the operation of
the fixture is totally silent. The well-arranged graphic OLED display allows quick
setting of all functions and parameters of the fixture.
We wish you a lot of pleasant working experiences with the ASTERION II prod-
uct.
The team of the firm
Art Lighting Production, s.r.o.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PRODUCT 01
1. Disc / flange for installing fastening elements - the arresting disc
of the luminaire, which is always its part, is used for installing the fasten-
ing elements. The fastening elements can be selected by the customer
and are not part of the basic delivery. You may select the individual fas-
tening elements in the chapter II. Optional accessories. All elements for
assembly of the optional accessories are part of it.
2. Protecting light diffusion plate - The protecting light diffusion plate
is always part of the basic delivery!
3. Powercon input for power supply 230V - The power supply of the
luminaire is made with a special cable with Powercon terminal on one
side and Schuko plug connector on the other. The Powercon connector
must be, after inserting in the luminaire, turned around until its locking.
For disconnecting of the power supply cable the slider of the safety lock
must be moved away from the luminaire and then you can turn the con-
nector and pull it out.
4. Powercon output for power supply 230V - If you want to connect
several floodlight battens then you shall use Powercon interconnecting
cable The Powercon is designed for a load of 10A. You shall not connect
in series more than 8 ASTERION luminaires!

02 DMX ADDRESS AND MENU
2.2 Quick setup of the DMX address
We can change the DMX address by pressing
the UP or DOWN button and the selection is

not confirm the changed number of the DMX
address, the change is not saved and the dis-
play returns to the default settings!
2.3 Working with MENU
To enter the main menu, press ENTER. The
display will show the menu items. To move
to the individual folders of the menu press
the buttons UP / DOWN, to select the item
for setting press the button ENTER. To return
press X.
2.1 Initial MENU
After connecting ASTERIONU II to power supply the welcome logo of the company Art
Lighting Production will be shown for a short time and the display will run on the initial
status. In the basic display we can see all the active functions of the ASTERION fixture
and the large digits indicate the currently selected starting DMX fixture address.

When selecting the function DMX Mode the display will show 4 DMX Modes, which will
be subsequently described.
3.1 3 Channels - MIS
To help you remember the function of each
channel next behind the number of chan-
nels of the mode the initials of the func-
tions of each channel are shown: Memory /
Intensity / Strobo in the order in which they
are arranged consecutively.
MEMORY - is the internal memory of the luminaire, which holds 30 cues. We will explain
the principle of saving cues later. This channel is used as so called virtual colour changer.
It is used in case of pre-defined colors that you upload into the luminaire a) in order to
save the number of DMX channels, or b) in Stand Alone and Work light mode.

INTENSITY - is a channel for the light intensity control (dimmer). In the personalities
should be assigned to the wheel for controlling light intensity, as all of the conventional
luminaires.

STROBO – the Strobo channel has two functions. A) control of the Strobo frequency
(speed) B) switching on and off of the halogen performance function. By the luminaires
with conventional or halogen bulbs the switching off or switching on is delayed. This
effect is caused by the filament of the bulbs, which need some time to warm up and to
cool down again.
The LEDs do not have this characteristic. They respond immediately to the current val-
ue, which is sent to them. Even if these steps are synchronized in 16 bit DMX the dim-
ming will never be continuous. Therefore the dimming process is controlled by software.
Between the individual steps the time slips are programmed, which are smoothing the
step course of the LED dimming.
DMX VALUE FUNCTION DESCRIPTION
0 The function of the halogen performance of the luminaire is active.
1 - 254 The function of the halogen performance is switched off and the Strobo is active with
an adjustable speed in the range of DMX value of 1 - 254
255 The function of the halogen performance is switched off and the dimming responds
erratically to an immediate change of the intensities. The Strobo can be programmed
on the control console.
3.2 6 Channel Mode – RGBWIS
The six-channel mode is the most widely used mode. There are controlled the RGBW
values, Intensity and Strobo, which for most projects is enough.

2 Green (G)
3 Blue (B)
