Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
●Infinity TCYC-7 Cyclorama
●Neutrik PowerCON to Schuko power cable (1,4 m)
●Safety cable
●2x brackets
●User manual
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.

07) Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141).
08) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
09) When the Cyclorama is not connected with a DMX cable, it functions as a stand-alone device.
10) Please see pages 19 and 20 for more information about the Manual control mode.
Multiple Cycloramas (DMX Control)
01) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141).
03) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
04) Use a 3-pin/5-pin XLR cable to connect the Cycloramas and other devices.
05) Link the units as shown in fig. 12. Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to
the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.
06) Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's PowerCON socket, then plug
the other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the
first unit. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.

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 fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @120V: 4 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @230V: 8 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX 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.
DMX Data Cables
●DAP 110 Ohm cable with digital signal transmission. Ordercode FL0975 (0,75 m),
FL09150 (1,5 m), FL093 (3 m), FL096 (6 m), FL0910 (10 m), FL0915 (15 m), FL0920 (20 m).
●DAP data cable FL08 DMX/AES-EBU, XLR/M 5-pin > XLR/F 5-pin.Ordercode FL08150 (1,5 m), FL083
(3 m), FL086 (6 m), FL0810 (10 m), FL0820 (20 m).

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 Cyclorama will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 21 channels.
When using multiple Cycloramas, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Cyclorama should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Cyclorama should be 1+21=22 (022); the DMX address of the third Cyclorama should be 22+21=43 (043),
etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Cyclorama
correctly. If two or more Cycloramas are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Cyclorama fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Cyclorama will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If not the problem may be:
●The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Cyclorama.
●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.
