CONDITIONS OF USE
Your NANDOBEAM-S3 is a moving-head luminaire equipped with multiple
LEDs intended for professional use (e.g., architectural, stage, television,
theater, or museum lighting).

USER MANUAL _ 5
The NANDOBEAM-S3 luminaire has an IP20 protection rating. It is intended
strictly for indoor use. It must never be partially or fully submerged, even
temporarily.
Condensation may form on your NANDOBEAM-S3 in the following cases:
Immediately after turning on the heating
In places with fog or a high level of humidity
When the luminaire is suddenly moved from a cold to a warm
environment, or vice versa.
In such cases, you must wait until the luminaire readjusts to the ambient
temperature of the room where it will be installed for operation.
Do not shake the NANDOBEAM-S3 while installing or handling.
Do not pull the NANDOBEAM-S3 by one of its cables to move it. Lift the
luminaire by its handles.
Choosing the appropriate place to install the NANDOBEAM-S3 is essential.
The following points should be observed:
Do not expose it to a heat source.
Do not install it near flammable materials.
Be sure that dust or miscellaneous debris cannot clump around the
body of the luminaire as this may interfere with its optimal cooling and
proper operation.
The NANDOBEAM-S3 must be installed out of reach of the public and
all persons not authorized to operate the luminaire.
We recommend a minimum distance of 20 cm between the outside
surface of the light and the illuminated object. The color mixture of the
NANDOBEAM-S3 can be improved if the illuminated surface is very close
to the luminaire (up to about 50 cm).
Due to the nature of its cooling principle, you should never prevent air
from circulating around the body of the luminaire. You must provide a
minimum clearance of 20 cm around your NANDOBEAM-S3 to allow for
cooling.
The NANDOBEAM-S3 can be installed in a ground pit or any other
confined enclosure only under certain conditions. With this kind of
installation, a system of forced ventilation should be used up to allow
air to circulate freely around the luminaire(s). The air must be constantly
renewed because the luminaire cannot be operated in closed system.
Failure to comply with these requirements may destroy or prematurely
wear the NANDOBEAM-S3, and AYRTON cannot be held responsible.
Please consult your AYRTON dealer for more information on this type of
installation.
No load should be placed on the NANDOBEAM-S3. The fixture must not
be installed in such a way as to allow a person, vehicle or any object to
run over or park on it.
Never lay or drop any hard, heavy, or blunt,objects on the NANDOBEAM-S3.
This includes items made of glass or porcelain (e.g., bottles, dishware,
or glass beads). The luminaire is made of materials such as plastic and
extruded aluminum, making it resistant but not unbreakable. Objects
made of hard materials such as steel or glass that fall on the unit may
cause breakage of the plastic parts or the body. AYRTON cannot be held
responsible for the luminaire’s broken plastic parts or body, which are not
covered under warranty.
The temperature of the room where the NANDOBEAM-S3 is installed must
never exceed 45°C (Ta = 45°C).
The NANDOBEAM-S3 luminaire requires a 110-240 VAC supply voltage.
Check that your luminaires have been installed for an application that is
compatible with this information.
Check that the brackets on which you hang or attach your NANDOBEAM-S3
can sustain the weight of the luminaire (9,1 kg), taking into consideration
all necessary safety factors.
Do not use your NANDOBEAM-S3 before being familiar with these
recommendations and do not allow unqualified personnel to handle the
product.
To transport your NANDOBEAM-S3, we strongly recommend that you use
the complete original packaging, including the dense protective foam
inserts.
If your NANDOBEAM-S3 is not being used for a long period, you should
disconnect the luminaire from the power source.
Never dispose of the NANDOBEAM-S3 in a rubbish bin. Ensure that it
is recycled. Please consult the current legislation in your country on
recycling electronic equipment.
WARNING!
The number of daisy chain, or tandem, connections to the
NANDOBEAM-S3 (power input and output sockets on the luminaires)
is limited for safety reasons. The maximum authorized number of
connections is as follows, with the power line protected by a 10A
circuit breaker:
6 NANDOBEAM-S3 units on the same source at 230 VAC or
3 NANDOBEAM-S3 units on the same source at 110 VAC.
PRESENTATION AND FEATURES
NANDOBEAM-S3 is a non-waterproof moving head wash light (IP20
protection rating) using the latest generation of high-performance of LED-
type lamps.
This luminaire can be controlled remotely by an external DMX512 signal.
The NANDOBEAM-S3 incorporates multi-chip LEDs using 4 colors: Red,
green, blue and white.
This color-light luminaire operates on the CMY additive color principle and
along with white light can potentially render a palette of 4.2 billion colors.
The NANDOBEAM-S3 has a total of 19 LEDs that can be controlled by four
independents zones. The luminaire requires from 17 to 28 DMX channels
to be controlled via an external command system that sends a DMX512
signal (see below for details).
To adjust the settings on the NANDOBEAM-S3 (i.e., DMX address, DMX
operating mode and other options), a Remote Device Management
(RDM)-type DMX controller may be required. The DMX RDM protocol is a
universal, widely used standard.

USER MANUAL _ 6
There are a multitude of RDM DMX controllers on the market from different
manufacturers (excluding AYRTON). It is worth noting that an RDM DMX
controller is not required to change the settings on the NANDOBEAM-S3.
A light console or any standard DMX-type controller is sufficient.
The NANDOBEAM-S3 consists of a metal frame and plastic covers. The
power connectors and DMX512 signal connectors are on the back of the
fixture’s base.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING!
During installation please observe the instructions according to
GB7000.15 / EN60598-2-17 standards and other national standards
applicable. This luminaire should be installed by a qualified
technician.
The fixture should be used in an environment with a temperature between
-5°C and +45°C. Do not operate the luminaire outside this temperature
range.
The luminaire must be hung so that the weight of this unit multiplied by
10 can be sustained for 1 hour without causing the suspension system or
the supporting structure to be deformed.
The installation must always be secured at a second attach point, e.g., by

USER MANUAL _ 7
a safety cable of the appropriate size.
Do not stand under the luminaire while it is being installed, dismantled
or serviced.
The operator must ensure that a qualified technician has approved the
installation of the luminaire for safety before it is first operated.
Installation should be inspected once a year by a qualified technician
WARNING!
The installation of this luminaire must be validated by a qualified
technician before it is used for the first time.
The luminaire should be installed in a location where the public cannot,
touch, walk or sit on the luminaire.
Suspending the luminaire and/or installing it high up requires considerable
experience, e.g., calculating load, selecting and adapting quality fastening
materials, and periodically inspecting the entire installation. Without this
skill and knowledge, do not attempt to install this unit by yourself. Improper
installation may cause an accident resulting in personal injury or death.
WARNING!
The luminaire should be connected to an electrical source by a
qualified electrician.
Before installing the luminaire make sure that the selected installation
spot can support at least 10 times the weight of the unit. Connect the
luminaire to the power source by the power cord.
INSTALLATION METHOD USING TRUSS HOOKS
Refer to the following diagram when installing the NANDOBEAM-S3 with
truss hoos using omega bracket:
4
Attach the clamp to the omega bracket using an M12 screw.
Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the omega bracket into the respective
holes on the base of the unit. Turn the quick fasteners fully clockwise.
Insert the safety cable through the holes at the bottom of the base and
the truss or a stable attachment point. Insert the end into the hole and
tighten the safety screw.
Note: The last step is very important to ensure that the luminaire does
not fall.
DMX512 CONNECTION
Connect the DMX input (XLR connector) cable of the luminaire to the DMX
output (female XLR connector) of your controller. You can connect multiple
luminaires to this same DMX line in a daisy chain. The DMX cable must
be a shielded twisted pair that is equipped with male and female XLR
connectors.
Refer to the following diagram when connecting the NANDOBEAM-S3
luminaires in a daisy chain:
Address 41 Address 21 Address 1
DMX512 CONNECTION WITH TERMINATION PLUG
For installations where the DMX cable must extend over long distances,
or if it is located near areas with major electrical disturbance, it is
recommended to use a DMX termination plug. This helps prevent
luminaires from malfunctioning due to interference. The DMX termination
plug, composed simply of a male XLR input connector with a 120-Ohm
resistor, is soldered between pins 2 and 3. This plug must be connected
to the DMX output of the last luminaire in the chain.
Refer to the following diagram:

USER MANUAL _ 8
THE NANDOBEAM-S3 DMX ADDRESS SETTING
All luminaires have a DMX start address correctly set when using a DMX
signal to control them. The DMX start address is the channel from which
the luminaire “listens” to the digital control information sent by the DMX
controller.
The start address must conform to the one recorded on the DMX controller
to run the luminaire. This address is the DMX value that appears on the
luminaire’s display. You can set the same address for all the luminaires, or
some of them, but you can also set a different address for each luminaire,
as needed.
If you do set the same address for all the luminaires, they will all “listen”
from the DMX channel you have set. The instructions sent by the DMX
controller will affect all luminaires at the same time. If you set a different
address per luminaire, the DMX controller can control each independently.
If, for instance, the fixtures are preset in 28-channel DMX mode (required
for full control), you will need to adjust the DMX address for the luminaires
as follows: The first unit with DMX address 001, the second with DMX
address 029 (28 + 1), the third with DMX address 057 (29 + 28), etc.
CONTROL PANEL (MENU OPTIONS)
A large number of settings are accessible from the fixture’s control panel.

MASTER/SLAVE MODE SETTINGS
A MASTER fixture can send up to 3 different sets of data to a SLAVE
fixture (e.g., a MASTER fixture can control 3 different SLAVE fixtures which
will each perform 3 different programs). The MASTER fixture sends the 3
programs in a continuous loop.
The SLAVE fixture receives data from the MASTER fixture according to the
group to which the SLAVE fixture is assigned. For example, if the SLAVE
fixture has been assigned to “Slave 1” in the menu “Set to Slave”, the
MASTER fixture sends “Auto Program Part 1” to this SLAVE fixture. If it

ERROR MESSAGES
When you turn on the NANDOBEAM-S3, it will first perform an automatic
reset. The display may show “Err channel is XX” indicating there is
a problem with one or more of the channels. “XX” represents channel
1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6, which contain the testing sensor for positioning. For
example, the message, “Err channel is Red LED -all arrays”, indicates an
error in channel 1. If there is an error on channel 1 and channel 3 at the
same time, the following error message may appear: “Err channel is Pan
movement”, “Err channel is Tilt movement”. The system will flash twice,
and the fixture will generate a second reset. If the error message persists
after more than two resets, the channels showing errors will not work
properly but the other channels will function normally.
Please contact your authorized dealer or manufacturer for service and do
not attempt to repair the luminaire yourself.
PAN- movement Er
(PAN-yoke movement error): This message will appear after the reset
if the yoke’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (failed sensor or
magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (also caused by its
driving IC on the main PCB). The PAN- movement does not return to the
default position after the reset.
TILT- movement Er
(TILT-head movement error): This message will appear after the reset
if the head’s magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or
magnet missing) or the stepping-motor is defective (also caused by its
driving IC on the main PCB). The TILT- movement does not return to the
default position after the reset.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
The care and maintenance of your NANDOBEAM-S3 should be ensured by
a qualified technician. Your NANDOBEAM-S3 requires regular servicing.
The frequency depends essentially on its operating conditions and
environment. Intensive use in a dusty environment, or a lack of ventilation
around the fixture, may disrupt operation, result in overheating and cause
damage that is not covered by the warranty.
WARNING!
Disconnect from mains before servicing.
UPDATING THE LUMINAIRE
Ayrton is continually upgrading this product line. It is therefore possible
that a new software version is available that will increase the unit’s
capabilities.

To display the version of your device, go into the “Info” menu and select
“Software version” (see options details under the “INFO” menu). It is
advisable to use the same software version for multiple fixtures.
CLEANING
Your NANDOBEAM-S3 requires cleaning at regular intervals. Be aware
that accumulated dust and residue on the air vents, body and glass of the
fixture may reduce efficiency and impair proper operation.
Before cleaning, disconnect the power cable from source.
Use compressed air to blow away dust particles accumulated on and
between the cooling fins at the rear of the luminaire’s optical system.
Clean the glass of the fixture with a slightly damp soft cloth. When
