INTRODUCTION / INTENDED USE
The PlutoFresnel from ASTERA is a LED Fresnel for professional use in the event
and film industry. The PlutoFresnel is designed for direct or indirect illumination
of objects and people. Due to its built-in battery it can be quickly set up at places
where traditional lights cannot be mounted easily. It has the Titan LED Engine
and oers excellent color and light qualities. The PlutoFresnel generates white
or colored light and the color temperature can be adjusted in many ways. It can
be controlled with the AsteraApp or with wired DMX or wireless CRMX. It is also
possible to view and change settings via wireless RDM. The fixture can also be
controlled by the integrated display or by infrared remote control. Thanks to its
built-in Bluetooth it can be used as BluetoothBridge (BTB).
The PlutoFresnel can be used standing or hanging. For this purpose, the device is
equipped with AirlineTracks to attach the appropriate mounting accessories. The
PlutoFresnel can be used indoors and outdoors and has an IP55 rating.

5. Connect Bluetooth Bridge (BTB)
To control your lights with the AsteraApp,
first connect a Bluetooth Bridge (BTB). It
forwards the AsteraApp signal to paired
lights. You may use an AsteraBox as BTB
or choose a light with built-in BTB, like
PlutoFresnel, AX9, NYX Bulb, PixelBrick,
Titan Tube BTB, Helios Tube BTB.
Connect AsteraBox as BTB
Please power on the AsteraBox. Connect
the AsteraBox directly from the AsteraApp
main menu by following the instructions
there.

~ 9 ~
Connect light as BTB
Please note: This ONLY works for Astera lights with built-in Bluetooth.
Please power on the light. Hold down the
power button for 3 seconds until the light
flashes blue. In the AsteraApp press
„Manage Bluetooth Bridges“, then “+” and
follow instructions on screen to connect.
The light which is connected as BTB
shows a small Bluetooth icon in the
display.
6. Pair with lights
Once the AsteraApp is connected to a
BluetoothBridge, you can pair your lights with
the app:
Please power on the light(s). Then hold down
the power button for 3 seconds until the lights
flash blue. Go to “Pair with Lights” dialog in
the AsteraApp. Then press OK.
7. Linking to a CRMX transmitter
The PlutoFresnel can be controlled via Wireless DMX/ CRMX. To do this, it must
first be connected to a CRMX transmitter. There are two dierent methods to do
this: either the connection is established by pressing a button on the transmitter or
a linking key is set that matches the transmitter.

9. Charging
While the power cable is connected, the display shows the charging status. Charge
immediately when the battery is empty. Do not store the unit when the battery is
empty.
10. Rigging
The PlutoFresnel is
equipped with Airline-
Tracks on all four sides to
attach various Astera
mounting accessories.
When installing accesso-
ries on the airline tracks,
they must audibly click into
place!
With the included multi-functional yoke, PlutoFresnel
can be easily hung or placed on the floor. When hanging,
always secure with a safety wire at the safety eyelet on
top of the light's housing. Make sure the light cannot
drop more than 20cm if primary mounting fails.
The PlutoFresnel can also be mounted on tripods. For
this purpose, a TVMP (TV to motion picture) adapter
that can be attached to the yoke of the PlutoFresnel
is included with the product.
Yoke (AF80-YK) attachment with YokeBase (AF80-YKB) - Quick Release
To attach the PlutoFresnel yoke, the two
YokeBases must first be inserted into the
AirlineTracks on opposite sides. To secure the
YokeBase, turn the BaseLock clockwise.
The scales in the AirlineTracks help to ensure
that the same position is selected on both sides.
There is a default position for the YokeBase.
You can move the YokeBase to balance
the light or to use it in a dierent
configuration. It is important that the
YokeBase is oriented so that the opening of the V
points downward. When the light is properly prepared,
the yoke can be inserted into the YokeBases from the
bottom up.

In this application, the TVMP T-Bolt can be
stowed on a dedicated thread on the yoke to
prevent it from being lost.
TrackHandle (AX-THD)
The included TrackHandle easily converts the
PlutoFresnel into a handheld light. To do this, simply
attach the TrackHandle with its robust double stud
fitting to one of the PlutoFresnel's AirlineTracks.
The TrackHandle is also a useful accessory
for general handling of the light.
11. Beam modifiers
PlutoFresnel can not only be used as Fresnel but also be
used as an open face light without any beam modifiers.
In addition to the Fresnel lens, Barndoors are included in
the product scope.
Fresnel Lens (AF80-FL)
With the included Fresnel lens
PlutoFresnel provides a beam
from 15° to 60°.
To insert the Fresnel lens, pull the
barndoor lock upwards (1) and turn
it to the side (2). Now slide the
Fresnel lens into the holder (3) and
close the barndoor lock by lifting
and turning it again (5). Make sure
that the barndoor lock is properly
engaged before moving the light.

Barndoor (AF80-BD)
8 leaf barndoor is included as standard. They are inserted in front of the Fresnel
lens in the same way as the Fresnel lens (4).
Zoom
The built-in zoom allows adjustment of the beam between
15° and 60°. There is a scale on the side of the lens tube for
reference.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Problem Possible cause Solution
The fixture does not turn on. The battery may be empty. Connect it to power and try
again.
The fixture turns on and the
display is on, but the LEDs do
not emit light.
The fixture could be set
to BLACKOUT mode. Set
to display black color or is
operating in DMX mode and
doesn’t receive a valid signal.
It is good practice to do a
RESET SETTINGS.
The fixture is not working
correctly - it does not display
the color or eect chosen.
The fixture may still be
operating under a previous
setting.
It is good practice to do a
RESET SETTINGS between
setups.
The power cable is connected
but the fixture is not charging.
The battery may be fully
charged.
The fixture will only
commence charging when its
battery has a temperature of
45° C or less. Turn the fixture
o and let it cool down; once
cold enough, it will start
charging.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit dierent from that to which
the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC Caution:
• Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible
for compliance could void the user‘s authority to operate this equipment.
• This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference
that may cause undesired operation.

EINFÜHRUNG / BESTIMMUNGSGEMÄSSER GEBRAUCH
Der PlutoFresnel von ASTERA ist ein LED-Fresnel-Scheinwerfer für den
professionellen Einsatz im Event- und Filmbereich. Der PlutoFresnel ist für die
direkte oder indirekte Beleuchtung von Objekten oder Personen konzipiert.
Dank des eingebauten Akkus kann er schnell an Orten angebracht werden, an
denen herkömmliche Leuchten nicht ohne weiteres eingesetzt werden können.
Er verfügt über die Titan LED-Engine und bietet hervorragende Farb- und
Lichtwiedergabewerte. Der PlutoFresnel erzeugt weißes oder farbiges Licht,
wobei die Farbtemperatur auf vielfältige Weise eingestellt werden kann. Er kann
sowohl mit der AsteraApp als auch mit drahtgebundenen oder drahtlosen CRMX
gesteuert werden. Zudem ist es möglich, Einstellungen über drahtloses RDM
einzusehen und zu ändern. Die Lampe kann auch über das integrierte Bedienfeld
oder über die Infrarot-Fernbedienung gesteuert werden. Dank des integrierten
Bluetooth kann er als Bluetooth Bridge (BTB) verwendet werden.
Der PlutoFresnel kann sowohl stehend als auch hängend verwendet werden.
