from epilepsy.
DESCRIPTION:
1. BRACKET: with knobs on both sides to fasten the unit and a mounting hole to fix a mounting hook.
2. DMX INPUT: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect the projector with the DMX controller or with the
previous unit in the DMX chain.
3. MAINS INPUT: with ProCon socket, connect the supplied mains cable here.
4. [MENU] button: used to browse the different functions in the menu.
5. [▲] button: to increase the values shown on the display.
6. [▼]button: to lower the values shown on the display.
7. [ENTER] button: used to confirm your choice or to enter the setup mode of a function.
8. M-DMX INPUT: Please note that this USB-connector is NOT used for updates or to connect the unit to a
PC! Instead this USB-connector makes it very easy to add wireless DMX to the unit! Just add the
(optional) WTR-DMX DONGLE from BRITEQ®and you will get wireless DMX! Moreover you will be able
to connect other DMX-controlled equipment to the DMX-output so you can share the wireless DMX
function with all connected units! No extra settings to be made in the setup menu, just follow the
procedure in the user manual supplied with the WTR-DMX DONGLE from BRITEQ®. The separate
WTR-DMX DONGLE is available from WWW.BRITEQ-LIGHTING.COM (order code: 4645)
9. MAINS OUTPUT: with ProCon connector. You can use a special XLR/Powercon cable to connect up to
max. 16A (power).
10. DMX OUTPUT: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the projector with the next unit in the DMX
chain.
11. DISPLAY shows the various menus and the selected functions.
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.
•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
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:
•Insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in the last selected mode.
•Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between the different working modes.
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
•Connect the units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that has no cable
connected to its DMX-input is the “master”, the others are the slave units.
•Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
•Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information.
Electrical installation for two or more units 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 good quality
balanced cable.
•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!

ENGLISH USER MANUAL
JB SYSTEMS®5/10 RAVE BAR
•Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
•Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper start address so it knows which commands from
the controller it has to decode. In the section HOW TO SETUP you will learn how to set the DMX
addresses. Remember that each projector uses 2 channels, a possible address setup could be: unit1 =
001 ~ unit2 = 003 ~ unit3 = 005 ~ unit4 = 007 ~ etc.
HOW TO SETUP:
MAIN MENU:
•To select any of the menu options, press the
[MENU] button up to when the required option is
shown on the display.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
A. Standalone 1unit:
•Just connect the projector to the mains.
•Select the desired STANDALONE MODE ([Shou –Soud –Colo –StAt])
•Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to make the settings.
B. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
•Connect several units together. Refer to the chapter “electrical installation” to learn how to do this.
•Select one of the STANDALONE MODES on the master (the first Rave Bar in the DMX chain)
•Set all the other projectors in SLAVE mode.
•The projectors will now follow the program of the master projector so they all work synchronously.
C. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:
•Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter “Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-
mode” to learn how to do this (don’t forget to address all units properly!)
•Connect all units to the mains and turn on the DMX controller.
Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit
uses 1, 2, 6, 34 or 37 DMX-channels, depending on the DMX-mode you have selected in the menu. See

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
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
•Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
•Always dry the parts carefully.
Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
