WTR-DMX DONGLE is available from WWW.BRITEQ-LIGHTING.COM (order code: 4645)
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.
HOW TO SET UP AND CONTROL THE UNIT
You can operate the unit in several ways:
1) FIXED MANUAL STANDALONE MODE:
•Press the [MENU] button until the display shows [MAn].
•Press the [ENTER] button to enter the setup. The display shows [MAnu].

Some more information on DMX512:
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 light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F 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!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.

ENGLISH USER MANUAL
JB SYSTEMS®9/9 SUNBAR WHITE
With this option you can determine if the unit should let thru the regular DMX information
coming from a controller or another unit, or if it should act as a master and send out signals
for the slaves.
▪Press the [ENTER] button to enter the option settings
▪Use the [UP / DOWN] button to select the desired mode:
•ON = MASTER Mode activated. The unit will not send out the normal DMX
signals anymore but will send out its own signals to control the SLAVE units.
This function should only be used in the Master unit of a Master/Slave
setup.
•oFF = MASTER Mode deactivated. The unit will not interrupt the normal
DMX signals (coming from the controller or other units) anymore. This is the
setting to use the unit in a normal DMX setup.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If units would react in a strange way when they are connected together, please check if the Master Mode of
the units is set in the correct mode (see information just above this line)
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!
