Chapter 1 Installation and attention
1. Maintenance
 To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
 Intermittently using will extend this item’s service life.
 Please clear the fan ,fan net , and optical lens in order to keep good work state.
 Do not use the alcohol or any other organic solvent to wipe the shell.
2. Statement
The product has perfect performance and integrity packing. All users should be strictly complying
with the warning and operating instructions as stated. Or we aren’t in charge of any result by

environment over 60degress.
 Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.
 Install or dismantle should operate by professional engineer.
 Using lamp，the change rate of power voltage should be within±10%，If the voltage is too
high，it will shorten the light’s life; If it’s not enough, will influence the effect.
 Please restart it 20 minutes later after turning off light , until full-cooling. Frequent switching
will reduce the life span of lamps and bulbs; intermittent using will improve the life of bulbs
and lamps.

5. Cable connection（DMX）
Use a cable conforming to specifications EIA RS-485: 2-pole twisted, shielded, 120Ohm characteristic
impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity. Do not use microphone cable or other cable with characteristics differing
from those specified. The end connections must be made using XLR type 3 or 5-pin male/female connectors. A
terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120Ohm (minimum 1/4 W) between
terminals 2 and 3.
IMPORTANT: The wires must not make contact with each other or with the metal casing of the connectors.
The casing itself must be connected to the shield braid and to pin 1 of the connectors.
Figure 1 DMX Cable connection
6. Rigging (Optional)
This equipment can be positioned and fixed by clamp in every direction of the stage. Locking
system makes it easy to fasten to the bracket.
Attention! Two clamps is needed to fix the equipment. Every clamp is locked by fastener of 1/4
kind. Fastener can only be locked clockwise.
Attention! Fasten a safety string to the additional hole of side aluminum piece. The secondary
accessory can not hang on the delivery handle. Nip the equipment on bracket.
 Check if rigging clamp (not including the one inside) damaged or not? If stand ten times
weight as the equipment. Make sure the architecture can stand ten times weight as all the

equipments, clamps, wirings and other additional fixtures.
 Screws for cla
mping must be fixed firmly. Take one M12 screw (Grade 8.8 or higher) to
clamp bracket, and then screw the nuts.

Level the two hanging points at the bottom of clamp. Insert fastener to the bottom, lock the
two levers by 1/4 rotating clockwise; then install

Install on safety string which stands at least ten times weight as equipment. Terminal of the
accessory is designed for clamps.

Make sure pan/tilt lock unlocked or not. Keep the distance more than 1M from equipment to
flammable material or l
ighting source.

Chapter 2 Panel operation
1. Brief
The light panel diagram show as Figure 3, Left area is TFT Displayer, support touch, and right
area is encoder button, both of touch and coder button can operate light and setting.
Display & operation just like ‘Android operation system’, touch the item will set or modify
setting.
Note: Prevent damage the touch or TFT displayer, Can not use sharp objects chick displayer.
Figure 3 Panel diagram
2. Operation
1. Operate light with touch or encoder button
 The left area is TFT Displayer and touch, chick item or value with finger will to complete
operation of set light setting(parameters) or view light state.
 The area on the right hand side is rotary encoder with button, As auxiliary input interface, if
disable touch function,, the encoder can been choose to set or view the item, and then press
the encoder button to confirm the selection, rotary encoder again set the parameter value,
finally, Press encoder button one again to save value or setting.
