Mounting and peration
Clamp ounting: The Nano Beam moving head provides a unique mounting bracket
assembly that integrates the bottom of the base, and the safety cable rigging point in one
unit.
When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the
included omega bracket using a 10 screw fitted through the center hole of the “omega
bracket”.
As an added safety measure be sure to attached at least one properly rated safety cable
to the fixture using on of the safety cable rigging point integrated in the base assembly.
Features
•60w RGBW Beam LED fixture with a 2 degree beam angle.
•Fast 540 degree pan and 270 degree tilt.

Safety Precautions
Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another user, be
sure that they also receive this instruction manual.
Caution: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating

Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a
minimum point load of 10 items the device’s weight.
Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an
appropriate safety cable.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing the fixture.
From a ceiling, or set on a flat level surface (see illustration below). Be sure this fixture is kept
at least 0.5m (1.5ft) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.).

DMX Setup
DMX Basics
DMX5 2 stands for digital multiplex 5 2. This means that 5 2 channels are controlled
digitally through data cable.
A channel is a set of 255 steps that are assigned to control attributes in each light. This
may be a color like red, green or blue, and intensity, strobe, pan/tilt or other attributes.
Multiple sets of 5 2 “universes” may be used. Only universe will travel on a DMX cable,
but through networked DMX (Art-Net or sACN E .3 ), many universes can travel over a
network.
DMX Wiring
DMX works by connecting or multiple lights to the output of a DMX lighting console or
software with a DMX interface.
DMX lights connect in what is called a “daisy-chain”. Your first DMX cable will plug it’s
male DMX connector into the female DMX connector on your lighting console. The
remaining female connector will then connect to the DMX input on your first light.
You may then connect your next fixture to the output of your first light, and continue the
chain.
32 Fixture Rule – DMX only allows you to connect up to 32 fixtures in a single daisy
chain for signal strength. Sometimes, depending on the fixtures and cable length, this
number is less (or more).
DMX Cables can be 3-pin or 5-pin. These use the same type of data, and in the 5-pin
only pins , 2, and 3 are used. The cable should be a 2 conductor, shielded cable of at
least 0 ohms resistance. Microphone cable is not DMX cable.
Please refer to the diagram below:
Nano Beam – GAMMA LED Vision Page 8 of 3

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise and reflections. The DMX
terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 20 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,
which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please
see illustrations below:

DMX Modes and Configuration
The Nano Beam has multiple DMX modes, sometimes called “personalities”, “profiles”, or
as we will use here “modes”.
In general, modes with more DMX channels offer a greater level of control or options but
take up more of your output channels on your lighting console or software.
Modes with less DMX channels often offer less control, but may be plenty for your needs.
Depending on your needs and control solution, you may not need channels for
automated programs, strobes, or macros – your console may have great effects! In this
case, you can use a lesser channel mode and fit more lights per DMX universe.
View the DMX mode charts below to find the mode that best suits your needs.
