2. Safety Instructions.
This device has left the factory in perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a
safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning
notes written in this user manual. ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is a high voltage fixture. Be careful
when dealing with high voltages.
Please read this manual. If you do not read this manual and damages occur to the ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1), then it could void the warranty.
During shipping, the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) may have been exposed to high temperature
changes or humidity changes. So, as a precaution, do not switch the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) on
immediately. Condensation can damage the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) so leave the ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1) switched off until it has reached room temperature. The ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1)
is an INDOOR operational fixture. Do not operate this fixture outdoors or anywhere there is high
humidity.
The electric connection must carry out by a qualified person and it is absolutely essential that the
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) be grounded. So under no circumstances break off the ground pin on the
Edison plug or use the fixture where a ground is not present. A ground pin, like the fuse for the
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is there for safety.
Always disconnect the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) from the power source, when the fixture is not in
use or before cleaning it. Only unplug ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) from the power source holding onto
the Edison plug. Never pull out the Edison plug out by just pulling on the power cord itself.
Please keep the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) away from children and the general public. Please be
intelligent and use common sense when operating the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1).

3. General Guidelines.
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in clubs, theatres,
churches etc.
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors.
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week).
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) needs operation breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without
problems. Please do not shake the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) and avoid using brute force when
installing or operating it.
Please read this below. It is important to understand and realize the following:-
The lens encapsulates each of the leds. This way the maximum output is attained. However this
means that, if the fixture is dropped or the front lens assembly is struck, then it is possible for leds to
be crushed. So please exercise care and attention. This is not a par64 that can be abused at will!
When choosing the location to install the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1), please make sure that it is not
exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust and never install it outdoors. Make sure that the fixture has
a good amount of free space around it for air flow. Do not install it in a confined space or have
insulation around the fixture. The minimum distance between the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) and the
illuminated surface must be more than 3 feet.
Always mount the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) with an appropriate safety cable.
Operate the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) only when you are familiar with the features on the fixture.
Do not permit operation by persons not qualified.
All modifications to the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) will invalidate the warranty. There are
absolutely no exceptions.
If ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual,
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) maybe damaged and the guarantee will be void.
4. Installation.
Please ensure that the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is hung using the appropriate "C" clamp or half
cheeseboro. A safety chain or cable should also be used as a secondary point of holding the fixture in
case the clamp comes loose. Never hang the fixture without a safety chain or cable.
If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) then do
NOT hang it.
Do not clamp the safety cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.
A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) if the
"C" clamp or half cheesboro fails. Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the fixture from
falling to the ground. So do NOT fix the safety cable to the same place that the "C"clamp is attached.

5. DMX-512 Control Connection.
Connect an XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of your ElektraLite CP16/24 or other DMX
controller. The other end should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the ElektraLite eyeBall
(5-in-1). Then daisy-chain out of the first ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) into the next ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1) or other dmx device. Never “Y” split the DMX connection.
If you need more cable, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 5 pin XLR input and
output connector. Please refer to the diagram below.

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically “noisy”
environment, it is recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the
digital control signal. The DMX terminator is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 Ωresistor
connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1) or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.

120
The eyeBall also has 3-pin XLRs for the DMX. Pins 1, 2 and 3 correspond to 5-pin XLR. However the
physical position of the pins is different. So please study the 3-pin XLR carefully before putting a
resistor across pins 2 and 3.

7. Auto Programs.
The ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) can be set into one of 5 auto programs.
They are labelled Auto 0 through 4.
Use the Menu button to get to Auto. The second line of text will display the current Auto program
loaded into the RAM but not running. To run the program, press Enter. The Auto program number will
be flashing. If the program running is the choice then nothing else needs to be done. If another Auto
program is required, use the ↑or ↓key to choose the program. One further change can be made to the
Auto program and that is the speed at which the program moves. A second press of the Enter button
will reveal a new screen. An example of this for Auto Program 2 would be:-
AUTO-02
SP: 01
SP (speed) will be flashing. Use the ↑or ↓key to increase or decrease the speed. Once the right speed
is chosen no further button needs pushing.
If a dmx input is plugged in and is active (in other words the dmx controller is turned on), then the Auto
program is “overruled” by the DMX signal. The moment the dmx signal is removed or turned off, the
Auto program returns.
8. Static Look.
The ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) can be set to a single static look. Use the Menu button to get to Static.
On the second line of text, it will read
either <Manu C> or <Fix C>.
<Manu C> is Manual Control of all the 5 colors to any level of output required.
<Fix C> is Fixed Colors which are already preprogrammed into the eyeball.
<Manu C>
If the screen reads Static <Fix C> but <Manu C> is required then press Enter so the words <Fix C>
flashes. Then press ↑. You will now have the <Manu C> option flashing. If you now press Enter again
the screen will read
Manual C
R = 255
R will be flashing. If you wish to change the output of Red (R), then press enter.
The R will stop flashing and now 255 will be flashing. Using the ↑or ↓increase or decrease the value of
Red. If the next color requires a change in output press the Enter button again. It will change back to R
flashing and then use the ↑or ↓to move to the next color.
Once the last color adjustment is made, the fixture can be left in this mode running the static look. If a
dmx input is plugged in and is active (in other words the dmx controller is turned on), then the static look
is “overruled” by the DMX signal. The moment the dmx signal is removed or turned off, the static look
returns.
(Sidebar:- Setting up the static look to have all led colors at full, is a good as an emergency light setting.
This way when the DMX controller is turned off in an emergency the lights come to full on).
<Fix C>
With Static <Fix C> displayed, press Enter. <Fix C> will flash press enter. The display will now read
<Fix C>
<RGBWA_>
If the ↑or ↓keys are used, choices of different colors are displayed. Once the right color combination is
found stop pressing the ↑or ↓key. The color is fixed. Once again if a DMX signal is detected the static
look is overruled.

9. DIM
The Dimmer function allows different Dimmer curves to be chosen. There are 5 choices.
Choice 1:- this is Dim off. The Dimmer curve is 0 which means any change in dimmer level is
instantaneous.
Choice 2:- Dim 1. The dimmer curve has the shortest fade in and fade out time.
Choice 3:- Dim 2. The dimmer curve has the 2nd shortest fade in and fade out time.
Choice 4:- Dim 3. The dimmer curve has the 3rd shortest fade in and fade out time
Choice 5:- Dim 4. The dimmer curve has the longest fade in and the fade out time.
To access the DIM function, use the menu button to get to Dim Mode <_______>. Press Enter and then
use the ↑or ↓buttons to choose the DIM curve. Choices are <OFF>, <DIM1>, <DIM2>, <DIM3> and
<DIM4>. There is no need to press Enter upon completion of choice.
Please note the DIM function under the menu in the fixture does not work when one of the personalities
chosen has the DIM function included. The lighting controller will now control the dimmer curve.
10. Backlite.
The display screen by default turns off after 30 seconds. The display screen can be on all the time if
required. This is done by pressing the Menu button until Backlite is shown. Press Enter and then use
the ↑or ↓buttons to turn the display ON or OFF.

19. Cleaning and maintenance.
Now ignoring maintenance and cleaning is very good way of creating problems "down the road" and many companies and
installations do just that. However the net result is, no matter what the fixture, premature failure!
Changing the oil in a car most people do on a regular basis.
So with the fixtures regular maintenance it an excellent practice, if you want the fixtures to last.
So what is the maintenance for the fixture?
Clean the fan! That’s really it!
Turn off the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1).
Using a small vacuum cleaner, suck the dust and “fur balls” out.
Do not use a can of co². That will just blast the dust and dirt everywhere!
The fans keep the LEDs cool and keep the electronics cool too.
Without the fans working efficiently and dust free, the fixtures will fail and that will be a lot more costly than having
someone vacuum the fixtures on a regular basis.
How often should the fans be cleaned? It depends on where the fixtures are; in a very dusty atmosphere once a week. So
check the fan on a regular basis, it may not need cleaned every week but a quick “visual inspection” should be done.
The clear front plastic cover for the lenses should be cleaned so the light output is maintained. With the ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1) turned off, use only a moist lint-free cloth, and clean the plastic cover. Never use alcohol or solvents to
clean the fixture. Never spray anything onto the fixture at the front or in any place on the fixture.
