LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving your lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in providing
for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of BEAM-20LEDs on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase IMG Stage Line cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.
We recommend IMG Stage Line cables:
CDMXN-150/SW
CDMXN-300/SW
CDMXN-500/SW
CDMXN-1000/SW
The BEAM-20LED Beam can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in
stand-alone mode.

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the BEAM-20LED will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 12 channels.
When using multiple BEAM-20LEDs, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first BEAM-20LED should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second one
should be 1+12=13 (013); the DMX address of the third BEAM-20LED should be 13+12=25 (025), etc.
Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each BEAM-20LED
correctly.
If two or more BEAM-20LEDs are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’.
Controlling:
After having addressed all BEAM-20LED fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the BEAM-20LED will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the problem may be:
•The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the BEAM-20LED.
•The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
