OVERHEAD RIGGING
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electric installation for one unit in Standalone mode:
Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode.
See chapter ‘STANDALONE MODE” for more information on how to select an automatic or sound
controlled program.
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
Connect 2 or more units together using balanced microphone cables of good quality.
Don’t connect any cable to the DMX input of the first unit in the chain: this first unit will be the master.
The other units must be set to DMX channel 1. See the next chapter for more information about the
menu settings.
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Done!
Electrical installation in DMX-mode:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
“daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected units with a balanced cable of good quality.
Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these
cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~
Pins4+5 not used.

To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won’t work!
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will learn how to set the
DMX addresses.
HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT
YOU CAN OPERATE THE UNIT IN 2 WAYS:
oStandalone + master/slave using the built-in preprogrammed functions
oBy using any universal DMX controller (1 & 6 channel DMX mode)
STANDALONE MODE:
The effect can work by its own via several build in automatic modes or music controlled modes.
You can choose between:
7 different automatic color modes. The rotation speed can be set at 9 different levels.
2 different sound controlled modes. The rotation speed and color changing will be controlled by the build-in
microphone.
AUTOMATIC MODES:
Connect nothing to the DMX input of the LED DIAMOND
Press the MENU button to browse the different automatic color modes. You can choose one of
the following modes:
oA1: red + orange
oA2: green + white
oA3: blue + purple
oA4: alternating colors mode 1
oA5: alternating colors mode 2
oA6: fading colors
oA7: strobe effect
When you have reached the color mode you would like to use, then use the UP and DOWN
buttons to select a rotation speed between 1 and 9.
When the setting of the speed is done, press the ENTER button to confirm.
The LED DIAMOND will now run your selection.
SOUND CONTROLLED MODES:
Connect nothing to the DMX input of the LED DIAMOND
Press the MENU button to browse the different sound controlled modes. You can choose
between the following modes:
oSo 1:sound controlled strobe mode
oSo 2: sound controlled color mode
Press the ENTER button to confirm your choice.
MASTER / SLAVE MODE:
Select this function when you want an instant show. By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first
unit will control the other units to give an automatic or sound activated, synchronized light show.
Connect nothing to the DMX input of the first LED DIAMOND, because this will be the Master Unit.
Select in this Master unit one of the automatic or sound controlled modes like mentioned in the
previous chapter ‘STANDALONE MODE”

Press the ENTER button to confirm. d.001 or A001 will appear on the display what means that
the unit is now in DMX mode, that it has start address 001 and that it is waiting for information
from the master unit to be activated.
DMX MODE:
The LED DIAMOND can be controlled by any universal DMX controller via 1 DMX channel or via 6 DMX
channels.
This is how you set the DMX channel mode + the DMX start address:
Press the MENU button until d.xxx or Axxx (d. or A followed by 3 numbers) appears on the display
o1 Channel mode = d.xxx (d. followed by the 3 numbers of the DMX address).
o6 Channel mode = Axxx (A followed by by the 3 numbers of the DMX address)

MAINTENANCE
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.
The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
