5.1. Rigging the device
CAUTION!
PLEASE CONSIDER THE RESPECTIVE NATIONAL NORMS DURING THE
INSTALLATION. THE INSTALLATION MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A
QUALIFIED PERSON.
•The applicable temperature for the lighting is between -20°C to 45°C. Do not use the
lighting under or above the temperature.
•The installation of the effect has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10
times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.
•The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment，e.g.an
appropriate safety rope.
•Never stand directly below the device when mounting，removing or servicing the fixture.
•The operator has to make sure the safety relating and machine technical installations are
approved by an expert before taking the device into operation for the first time.
•These installations have to be approved by a skilled person once a year.
•Overhead mounting requires extensive experience，including amongst others calculating
working load limits，installation material being used，and periodic safety inspection of all
installation material and the device.If you lack these qualifications，do not attempt the
installation yourself.Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

13
5.2. Rigging using the omega brackets
•Fix the clamp to the bracket by tightening the M12 nut and boltto the bracket through the
Ф13 hole in the middle of the bracket.
•Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the respective holes on the
bottom of the device.Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise.
•Install the second Omega holder.
•Pull the safety cable through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing
system or another suitable rigging point. Insert the end into the carabiner and tighten the
safety screw.
Important：
This step is very important to ensure safe rigging of the fixture.

14
5.3. RIGGING DRAWINGS
•Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.1m away from any flammable materials (decoration
etc.).
•Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental
damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
•Rig the projector high enough to provide clearance for people who may walk beneath the
beam path or establishing a restricted access area that extends beyond the beam hazard
distance.
•While fixed installation at locations other than cinema theaters should be installed at a height
not lower than 3 m vertically. The lowest tip of the Hazard Zone should be no lower than 3 m
measured vertically above the floor. Horizontal clearance to the Hazard Zone should be 2.5 m
measured horizontally. Any human access to the Hazard Zone, if applicable, is to be restricted
by barriers. The fixed installation should be performed by authorized installers, who are
trained to perform installations in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
Important：
Overhead rigging requires extensive experience，including (but not limited to)
calculating working load limits，specifying installation/ rigging materials，and periodic
safety inspection of all installation material as well as the device.If you lack these
qualifications，do not attempt therigging of this device yourself.Improper installation/
rigging can result in serious bodily injury.

6. DMX-512 CONTROL CONNECTION
Connect the provided male side of the XLR cable to the femaleXLR output of your controller and
the female side of the XLR cable to the male XLR input of the device.You can connect
multipledevices together in a serial fashion.The cable needed should be two core，screened cable
with XLR input and output connectors.Please refer to the diagram below.
Address 1 Address 36 Address 71
7. DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR
For installations where the DMX cable has to run over a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment，such as in a discotheque，it is recommended to use a DMX terminator.This
helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal caused by electrical noise.The DMX
terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ωresistor connected between pins 2 and 3，which is then
plugged into the output (female) XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain.Please see
illustrations below.

16
8. DEVICE DMX START ADDRESS SELECTION
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal，so that the
correct fixture responds to the correct control signals.This digital starting address is the channel
number from which the fixture starts to“listen”to the digital control information sent out from the
DMX controller.The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct address
number on the display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures，or set different
addresses for each fixture individually.
If you set the same address on all devices，all the devices will start to“listen”to the same control
signal from the same channel number.In other words，changing the settings of one channel will
affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address，each unit will start to“listen”to the channel number you have set，
based on the quantity of control channels of the unit.That means changing the settings of one
channel will affect only the selected device.
In the case of the LED moving head，in 35 channel mode，you should set the starting address of
the first unit to 1，the second unit to 36(35 + 1)，the third unit to 71 (35 + 36)，and so on.
9. OPERTING INSTRUCTIONS OF THE INTERNAL DMX WIRELESS
SYSTEM
9.1 Equipments：
DMX 512 controller，wireless transmitter，and the fixtures with wireless receiver.
9.2 Message from the LED indicator：
1) Rapid flashing red/Green：logging in to a transmitter.
2) Slow flashing Red/Green：Logged on a transmitter and the DMX line is idle (No DMX is
connected to transmitter).
3) Solid Green：Logged on to a transmitter and receiving DMX data.
4) Solid Red：Not logged on to a transmitter (free).
9.3 WDMX in the menu of the fixture：
On a fixture installed with wireless system，in order to switch between wireless control system
and traditional DMX control (with cable)，a new menu WDMX is added to the display board.
ON：(Activate WDMX)
1) When the fixture is on power，and the WDMX is activated to ON status，but did not
connect to the controller and did not log in to the transmitter，the fixture will search for the
DMX signal source.If the fixture is connected to the DMX controller it can be controlled by
DMX controller；if it is log in to the wireless transmitter，it can be controlled by the
Transmitter.
2) When the fixture is power off, and the WDMX is in ON status，if the fixture is connected
to DMX controller.After the fixture is power on，it can be controlled only by the DMX
controller which connected.The fixture can log in the wireless transmitter，and receive only
radio signal from transmitter，but not DMX from the transmitter.

17
OFF：(De-activate WDMX)
In this status，wireless system is not activated，so the fixture can not log in the transmitter.
REST：(reset WDMX memory)
