1. Safety Introductions
WARNING
Please keep this User Manual for future consultation. If you sell the fixture to another
user, be sure that they also receive this instruction booklet.
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the fixture.
It’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to avoid electric
shock.
Disconnect main power before servicing and maintenance.
The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from
adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
Maximum ambient temperature is Ta : 40℃. Don’t operate it where the temperature is
higher than this.
Unit surface temperature may reach up to 85 ℃. Don’t touch the housing bare-hand
during its operation. Turn off the power and allow about 15 minutes for the unit to cool
down before replacing or serving.
In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the fixture immediately. Never try
to repair the fixture by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to
damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance
center. Always use the same type spare parts.
Do not connect the device to any dimmer pack.
Do not touch any wire during operation and there might be a hazard of electric shock.
To prevent or reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the fixture to rain
or moisture.
The housing must be replaced if they are visibly damaged.
Do not look directly at the LED light beam while the fixture is on.
There are no user serviceable parts inside the fixture. Do not open the housing or
attempt any repairs by yourself. In the unlikely event your fixture may require service,
please contact your nearest dealer.
Due to the magnifying type lens, please keep the lens out of contact with direct sunlight.
Direct sunlight can cause heat to build up inside of the unit, which will seriously damage
unit.
Please read the instructions carefully which includes important
information about the installation, operation and maintenance.

3. Installation
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the
unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the
structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10
times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times of the
weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a place where is
out of the touch of people and has no one pass by or under it，the range of mounting height

7. DMX512 Connections
mode connection：

10
1. Connect the fixture together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the
fixture to the input of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y”
cable. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
2. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit
when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
3. At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal
errors. 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 fixture.
4. Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the
controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. 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 (+),Pin4/5:
not used
8. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The fixture does not work, no light
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and

11
DMX polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB
of the fixture or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some fixtures don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling.
2. Check the LED for the response of the master/ slave mode signal.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the fixture does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone.
E. 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.
9. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal 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 fixture’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.
