1.5 signal line connection（DMX）
Use standard RS-485 cable：With screening, 120 ohm characteristic impedance, 22
and 24 AWG, low capacitive reactance.Don't use the microphone cable or cable with
different type characteristics .Terminal connection must use 3 or 5 needle type
male/female XLR connectors. Between Terminal plug terminal 2 and 3 must be inserted
into a 120 ohm impedance matching resistance (lowest 1/4 W).
Important tips: lines can not touch with each other or contact with metal shell.

1.6 Lamp install
Lamps can be placed horizontally, hang on and hanging upside down. Always pay
attention to the installation when hang on and hanging upside down.
As shown in picture 2, before positing the lamps ,need to ensure the stability of the
installation place, when for the reverse hanging installation , ensure the lamp don't fell
from the brace ,
need to use safety rope through the brace and handle of lamp for insisting hanging to
make sure safety of prevent fall and slide of lamps.
In the installation and debugging,of the lamp, pedestrians are prohibited from passing
through, and regularly check if the safety ropes are worn or if the hook screws are
loose.
We are not liable for any consequences arising from the fall of the lamp due to the
unstable install.

Chapter 4 Common malfunction &use attention
4.1 Common malfunction treatment
The lamp have professional components such as microcomputer circuit
board and high voltage power supply. For your safety and product life,
non-professionals should not remove lamps and accessories without
authorization
.
4.1.1 bulb does not light
Possible reason：Bulb not totally cooling ,or bulb has reached life, treatment as following:
ÿ＀ÿ Due to improper operation, the bulb has not been completely cooling. Leave the lamp be cooled for
more than 10 minutes to made the bulb can fully recover to normal state, and then restart the power
supply.
ÿ＀ÿ Checking whether the bulb has reached the service life and should replace the new bulb;
ÿ＀ÿ Check whether the bulb and the lamp lighter are leaking, shedding or lose contact;
ÿ＀ÿ Replace the new lamplighter.
4.1.2 Beam look dim
Possible reason: use time of lamp is long or light path is not clean ,treatment as following:
ÿ＀ÿ Check whether the bulb has reached the service life and should replace the new bulb;
ÿ＀ÿ Checking whether optical part or bulb is clean and checking whether bulbs and other optical devices
have accumulated dust, and the lamps and components should be cleaned regularly.

Page 13
4.1.3 Gobo projection is fuzzy
ÿ＀ÿ Checking whether the electron focus channel value is suitable for the current range of the
projection.
4.1.4 The lamps work intermittently
Possible reasons: the internal circuit enters the protection state and treatment as following:
Checking whether the fan is working normally or dirty which made the internal temperature of the
lamp rise.
Checking whether the internal temperature control switch is closed;
Checking weather the bulb has reached the service life and should replace the new bulb.
4.1.5 Not accept console control after Lamp normally reset
Possible reason: the signal line malfunction or the lamp’s parameter setting is not normal, treatment as
following:
Checking the connection of the address code and the DMX signal line (whether the cord cable is in
good condition, and whether connection of Ka Nong head is loose);
Add signal amplifier, add120 ohm terminal resistor;
Checking the parameters of the lamp, make sure the lamps are in "DMX mode", and make sure that
the "CH20 operation mode" channel of DMX channel is located in the "DMX mode" data segment "0
~ 49".
4.1.6 Lamp can’t start
Possible reason: bad power circuit, treatment as following:
Checking whether the insurance of power input socket is fusing ,replace insurance.
Line Contact bad as vibration after lamp is in the long distance transportation.
Check the input power, computer board, etc service.
4.2 Precautions for use
Checking whether the local power supply is reach the requirements of rated voltage,
leakage protector、Load requirements of over-current protector for this products.
Do not use power lines with damaged insulation ,and power lines can not be
overlapped on the other wire;
Lamps USES is strong wind cooling,so accumulate dirt easily, must clean it once a
month, especially the cooling tuyere, otherwise,will be in a dust jam, which lead to
bad heat dissipation,and the lamps will be abnormal.
When install lamps, fixed screw must be tightened, and adds the safety rope, and
check regularly ;
When lamp is installing and positioning , any point on the surface of lamps keep the
minimum distance of 10 meters with anything easy to burn the explosive, and

Page 14
irradiation distance of 2.5 meters, please do not make the lamps directly install on the
surface of something combustible;
Using switching valve, closed time should be not more than 5 minutes, if you need to
close for a longer time ,pls use console( bulb control channel）to close bulb.
In order to ensure many sets of lamps follow scene effect better, lamps should not in
the unfinished scene all the time,while to start the next scene action,and it is better
not more than 3 minutes for this status to make sure many sets lamps can operate
synchronously.
In the process of use, such as lamps has abnormal condition, should stop using
lamps in time to prevent other malfunctions.
