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.).
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental
damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
DO NOT connect the device 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 device is defective, and it will decrease gradually within 15 minutes.
Don’t try to modify the fixture without any instruction by the manufacturer.

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.

corresponds to each function listed on the right in the given mode.

Standalone Mode and Configuration
By linking the units with DMX cable in a Master/Secondary connection, the first unit will
control the other units to give an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized light show
when the Nano Beam is placed into Standalone mode by the on-board menu and keys.
There are multiple Secondary unit id’s selected via the menu to make different units sync
with each other in different ways.

3. Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
The cleaning of lens must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning
frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smokey, or
particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s
optics.
• Clean with a damp, soft cloth..
• Always dry the parts carefully.
• Clean the external optics at least every 20 days in demanding environments.
Troubleshooting Problems
The following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work:
•Check that the unit is plugged in to a working power connector.
•Press the menu button to confirm that the unit is powered on. If the screen does
not light up, the unit has no power.
B. Not Responding to the DMX Controller
•Check DMX cables to verify that they are plugged in and functional.
•Check the DMX address and mode – does it match the address and mode patched
in the lighting console or software?
•Plug the light directly into the DMX controller with a cable that you know is good.
Unplug all other lights – does it work?
•Try to use another DMX controller.
