ATTENTION!
Installation overhead needs a high level of experience. This includes (but is not just limited to) calculation and
definition of load capacity, used installation material and regular safety inspections of used material and the fixture
itself. Never try to do the installation by yourself if you are not qualified, instead you have to instruct a skilled installer.
Inappropriate installations can cause injuries and/or damage of property.
•Spotlighthastobeinstalledoutsideareaswherepeople can touch it.
•Professional truss system or similar licensed suspension systems have to be used if the spotlight is used in
suspension from ceiling or other constructions. Spotlights can never be installed freely suspended!
ATTENTION!
Spotlights can cause injuries when fall off. If you are not trained in questions of safety for the different kinds of
installation do NOT install the spotlight!
•Assure that the mounting surface can hold at least ten times the point load of the spotlight before installing the
fixture.
ATTENTION!
Assure the specified safety distances to flammable material.
•Attach the spotlight with its yoke and the use of a suitable hook/clamp to your truss system. According to your
installation also similar but approved suspension devices are possible. The therefor used opening has a
diameter of about 10 mm.
•Wheninstallingthespotlightoverheadmakesureto safe the fixture by a safety chain which is specified at least
with a load limit of 12 times of the spotlights weight. Only safety chain with approved connective can be used.
Attach the safety chain to its designated opening and attach it to the truss system or a similar and safe
attachment point. Assure to close the fasteners as specified.
•Toadjusttheangleofthefixtureopenthelocking screw, set the fixure in its position and close it by hand.

OPERATION
•This device has several DMX- and Stand-Alone-Modes. In DMX-mode, multiple devices can be connected and
controlled by a controller. The device accepts the settings of the DMX-controller, as soon as the corresponding
start address is set.
•Slave mode:
Connect the DMX-output of the master device (XLR female) to the DMX-input of the slave device (XLR male).
Set the slave device to mode Slave (display shows: <SLAVE>). The slave device accepts all settings of the
master device (such as programm, programm speed, color).
•Displaydescription:
The display shows the different DMX-modes & the DMX-start address or programm, programm speed, etc.; the
first line shows the mode, the second line the corresponding value.
•Button description:
Press the MENU button to get access to the menu. Press the UP/DOWN button to select the relevant topic.
Press ENTER button to change the relevant topic; change the relevant topic by pressing UP/DOWN button to
set the DMX-start address or any of the pre-programmed modes or the speed values. Use the UP button to
increase the value. Use the DOWN button to decrease it. Press ENTER button again to save your settings and
get access to next menu.
NOTE!
If you hold the UP or DOWN button for longer, the value changes faster. The device has an automatic storage for all
settings. When you turn the device off and on again, it works with the previously set values. If the unit is not operated or
about 30 seconds, the buttons are locked. Unlock these by pushing one of the backside buttons for about three seconds.
•Theunitisadditionallyequippedwithaninfraredremote control. The use of this infrared remote control is
possible in every mode. Point the infrared remote control in direction of the infrared receiver on top of the
fixture. Choose a color or a program by use of the infrared remote control. To leave infrared-mode press the
button “OFF” on the remote control, press one of the backside buttons on the fixture or switch off the unit and on
again by removing the mains plug from the mains.

WIRELESS DMX-MODE
The unit is equipped with a connector for an optional LumenRadio CRMX Wireless DMX-module. The module is
compatible to CRMX transmitter units from LumenRadio and Wireless Solutions transmitter units version G3 and
G4.
For the use with CRMX the LumenRadio CRMX Wireless DMX-module needs to be plugged to the backside USB-
connector and the unit must be set to one of the five DMX-modes. Press MODE button and use UP/DOWN buttons
until display shows „DMX Chan“. Press ENTER and choose the right mode by use of UP/DOWN buttons.
Furthermore you need to choose the corresponding DMX-start adress. Which mode is the right one for you is up to
the range of functions you would like to use, the library and the channels of the used DMX-controller. Please read
chapter DMX-Mode of this manual to get an idea of which channels can be controlled in which DMX-mode.
Up next there is a need for logical connection (pairing) of the unit with external DMX-transmitter. Press CONNECT
button on DMX-transmitter shortly. The transmitter searches for all available units and connects to them. The logical
connection (pairing) is done and safed until it is released manually.
NOTE!
If a unit is not connecting to an external DMX-transmitter it is already connected logical to another transmitter. In this
case the connection needs to be released manually. Press and hold CONNECT button on the LumenRadio CRMX
Wireless DMX-Module for at least 3 seconds. After this please repeat the procedure for logical connection (pairing)
whilst pressing CONNECT button on DMX-transmitter shortly again.
