Safety Precautions
Please keep this User Guide for future onsultation. If you sell the unit to another user, be
sure that they also re eive this instru tion manual.
Caution: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating
areas, or in areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personnel.
Arion 300 IP Page 5 of 18

Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10 items the de ice’s weight.
Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an
appropriate safety cable.
Ne er stand directly below the de ice when mounting, remo ing, or ser icing the fixture.
From a ceiling, or set on a flat le el surface (see illustration below). Be sure this fixture is kept
at least 0.5m (1.5ft) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.).
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to pre ent accidental
damage and/or injury in the e ent the clamp fails.
DO NOT connect the de ice to any dimmer pack.
During initial start-up some smoke or smell may arise. This is a normal process and does not
necessarily mean that the de ice is defecti e, and it will decrease gradually within 15 minutes.
Don’t try to modify the fixture without any instruction by the manufacturer.
Warranty is oided if there are any malfunctions from not following the user manual while
operating or any hazardous operation, like shock short circuit, electronic shock, lamp broken,
etc.

DMX Setup
DMX Basics
DMX512 stands for digital multiplex 512. This means that 512 hannels are ontrolled
digitally through 1 data able.
A hannel is a set of 255 steps that are assigned to ontrol attributes in ea h light. This
may be a olor like red, green or blue, and intensity, strobe, pan/tilt or other attributes.
Arion 300 IP Page 9 of 18

Multiple sets of 512 “universes” may be used. Only 1 universe will travel on a DMX able,
but through networked DMX (Art-Net or sACN E1.31), many universes an travel over a
network.
DMX Wiring
DMX works by onne ting 1 or multiple lights to the output of a DMX lighting onsole or
software with a DMX interfa e.
DMX lights onne t in what is alled a “daisy- hain”. Your first DMX able will plug it’s
male DMX onne tor into the female DMX onne tor on your lighting onsole. The
remaining female onne tor will then onne t to the DMX input on your first light.
You may then onne t your next fixture to the output of your first light, and ontinue the
hain.
32 Fixture Rule – DMX only allows you to onne t up to 32 fixtures in a single daisy
hain for signal strength. Sometimes, depending on the fixtures and able length, this
number is less (or more).
DMX Cables an be 3-pin or 5-pin. These use the same type of data, and in the 5-pin
only pins 1, 2, and 3 are used. The able should be a 2 ondu tor, shielded able of at
least 110 ohms resistan e. Mi rophone able is not DMX able.
Please refer to the diagram below:
For installations where the DMX able has to run a long distan e or is in an ele tri ally
noisy environment, it is re ommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing
Arion 300 IP Page 10 of 18

orruption of the digital ontrol signal by ele tri al noise and refle tions. The DMX
terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor onne ted between pins 2 and 3,
whi h is then plugged into the output XLR so ket of the last fixture in the hain. Please
see illustrations below:
Arion 300 IP Page 11 of 18

DMX Modes and Configuration
The Arion 300 IP has multiple DMX modes, sometimes alled “personalities”, “profiles”, or
as we will use here “modes”.
In general, modes with more DMX hannels offer a greater level of ontrol or options but
take up more of your output hannels on your lighting onsole or software.
Modes with less DMX hannels often offer less ontrol, but may be plenty for your needs.
Depending on your needs and ontrol solution, you may not need hannels for
automated programs, strobes, or ma ros – your onsole may have great effe ts! In this
ase, you an use a lesser hannel mode and fit more lights per DMX universe.
View the DMX mode harts below to find the mode that best suits your needs. For most
xLights Users, the 14CH mode is ide l, nd th t is wh t we provide model of.

3. Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
The leaning of lens must be arried out periodi ally to optimize light output. Cleaning
frequen y depends on the environment in whi h the fixture operates: damp, smokey, or
parti ularly dirty surrounding an ause greater a umulation of dirt on the fixture’s
opti s.
• Clean with a damp, soft loth..
• Always dry the parts arefully.
• Clean the external opti s at least every 20 days in demanding environments.
Troubleshooting Problems
The following are a few ommon problems that may o ur during operation. Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work:
•Che k that the unit is plugged in to a working power onne tor.
•Press the menu button to onfirm that the unit is powered on. If the s reen does
not light up, the unit has no power.
Arion 300 IP Page 15 of 18

B. Not Responding to the DMX Controller
•Che k DMX ables to verify that they are plugged in and fun tional.
•Che k the DMX address and mode – does it mat h the address and mode pat hed
in the lighting onsole or software?
•Plug the light dire tly into the DMX ontroller with a able that you know is good.
Unplug all other lights – does it work?
•Try to use another DMX ontroller.
