INSTALLATION
A risk assessment should be carried out before

bracket provided. To conform with Health & Safety
legislation, a safety chain will also be required. Attach
the safety chain to the "Safety Eye" on the rear panel.
If permanently installed, the luminaire must be installed
by a competent electrician in accordance with the latest
IEE Wiring Regulations.
Either plug the lead into a 13 A socket, or remove the
13 A plug fitted, and wire directly to a fused spur, or
connect the luminaire to a switching unit such as the
NJ938.
The wires are colour-coded as follows:
• Brown = Live (phase)
• Blue = Neutral
• Green/Yellow = Earth
• The NJ174 must be earthed for safe and reliable
operation.

the DMX start address + 1, the 3rd DMX channel is at
the DMX start address +2, etc.
DMX mode:
The NJ174 may be controlled from DMX in 6 different
modes:
2-channel mode uses two channels to control the
luminaire - the first channel selects the program, and the
second channel selects the speed.
In 3-channel mode the luminaire is entirely illuminated
in the same colour. The three channels select the colour
as follows:
first channel - sets the brightness of the red LEDs.
second channel - sets the brightness of the green LEDs.
third channel - sets the brightness of the blue LEDs.

4-channel mode operates similarly to 3-channel mode
but with the addition of a master dimmer:
The first channel sets the brightness of the red LEDs.
The second channel sets the brightness of the green
LEDs.
The third channel sets the brightness of the blue LEDs.
The fourth channel is the master dimmer.
In 7-channel mode , the channels operate as follows:
The first channel is the master dimmer.
The second channel sets the brightness of the red LEDs.
The third channel sets the brightness of the green LEDs.
The fourth channel sets the brightness of the blue LEDs.
The fifth channel selects the program.
The sixth channel sets the speed.
The seventh channel sets the flash time.
In 14-channel mode , the luminaire is controlled in four
segments.
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd channels control the first
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 4th, 5th and 6th channels control the second
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 7th, 8th and 9th channels control the third
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 10th, 11th and 12th channels control the fourth
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 13th channel sets the flash rate.
The 14th channel is the master dimmer.
Page 7

26-channel mode operates similarly to 14-channel
mode , except that the luminaire is divided into eight
segments instead of four.
The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd channels control the first
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 4th, 5th and 6th channels control the second
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
The 7th, 8th and 9th channels control the third
segment, red, green and blue LEDs.
