6. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in
which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater
accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
yClean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
yAlways dry the parts carefully.
yClean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.

5. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
3. Check the power on LED.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and
DMX polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB
of the unit or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some units don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the
master/ slave mode signal.
2. Wrong DMX address in the unit. Set the proper address.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the unit does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone
E. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition

moisture.
yDo not open the unit within five minutes after switching off.
Please read carefully the instruction, which includes important information
about the installation, usage and maintenance.

3-
yThe housing, the lenses, or the ultraviolet filter must be replaced if they are visibly
damaged.
Caution
There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt
any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact
your nearest dealer.
Installation
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit
is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. And make sure that the
structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10
times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times of the
weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a place where is out
of the touch of people and has no one pass by or under it.

4.5 DMX512 Connection
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin
adapter-cable.
2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 ohm
1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it
in the DMX-output of the last unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to
the input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is
a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded
connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit,
when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the
controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin 4/Pin 5:
