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 misusing. Any damage resulting by misuse is not within the
Company’s warranty. Any fault or problem caused by neglecting the manual is also

even the 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.
 In order to make sure the product is used well, please read the Manual carefully.

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 clamping 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 another clamp.
 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 lighting source.

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.
2. Parameter value setting
When the selected item is value need to been modified, the dialog shown in Figure 4
will popup.
Figure 4 Dialog of value setting
