1.1 Notes and Installation Notes and Installation
Thank you for choosing our company's products! This product has good
performance and complete packaging when it leaves the factory. For your safe
and effective use of this product, please read this instruction manual carefully
and completely before you use this product. This manual contains important
information for installation and use. Please install and operate in accordance
with the requirements of the manual. At the same time, please keep this
manual properly for use at any time. Our company does not assume all
responsibility for damage to lamps or other performance due to personal
failure to follow the instructions during installation, use, and maintenance.
This manual is subject to technical changes without notice。
⚫Maintenance
⚫Please disconnect the power before performing maintenance。
⚫The lamp should be kept dry and avoid working in a humid environment。
⚫Intermittent use will effectively extend the life of the lamp。
⚫In order to obtain good ventilation and lighting effects, it is necessary to
clean the fan, fan net and lens frequently。
⚫Do not wipe the lamp housing with organic solvents such as alcohol to
avoid damage。
⚫Product precautions
⚫This lamp is for professional use only.
⚫Before operation, make sure that the power supply voltage matches the
power supply voltage required by the equipment.
⚫Do not place the product in a place that is easy to loose or shake.
⚫Stop using the lamp in time if the lamp is abnormal during use.
⚫In order to ensure the service life of the product, this product must not be
placed in a humid or leaking place, and it must not be used in an
environment where the temperature exceeds 60 degrees.
⚫When the bulb is in use, the power supply voltage should not change more
than ±10%. Too high voltage will shorten the life of the bulb, and too low
voltage will affect the light color of the bulb.
⚫After the power is cut off, it takes 20 minutes before the lamp is fully cooled
before being powered on again.
⚫The rotating parts of the lamp and the pasted accessories must be
checked regularly. If there is any looseness, the shaking should be
reinforced in time to prevent accidents.
⚫To ensure the normal use of this product, please read this manual
carefully。
⚫1.2 Product introduction
⚫Light source power: 250W;

⚫Voltage: AC 200V~240V/50~60Hz;
⚫Color wheel: each color wheel is composed of 13 color chips + white
light;
⚫Gobo plate: 14 pattern effects;
⚫540° pan, 270° tilt。
⚫Overheat protection;
⚫Control mode: DMX512/master-slave/auto;
⚫IP20 protection level
1.2 Signal line connection
The lamp is equipped with standard DMX input and output 3-pin or 5-pin XLR
sockets. Please use shielded twisted pair signal wire specially designed for
DMX 512; the signal wire is generally connected at a distance of 150 meters,
and DMX512 signal amplifier must be added for long distance signal
transmission.
Use a shielded twisted pair signal cable to connect from the DMX output port of
the controller to the DMX input port of the first device, and from the DMX
output port of the first device to the DMX input port of the second device, and
so on, Until all the lamps are connected, install a terminal plug on the output
3-pin jack of the last connected lamp of each connection. (Weld a 4/1W, 120Ω
resistor between the 2 and 3 pins of the 3-pin XLR plug).
Important note: the wires cannot touch each other or the metal shell。
➢Figure 1 Diagram of DMX signal line connection
Calculation method of lamp start address code:
The starting address code of the current fixture is equal to (the starting address
code of the previous fixture) + (the number of channels of the fixture)
1: The starting address code value of the first lamp is A001.
2: The number of basic channels of the controller should be greater than or
equal to the total number of channels used by the lamp.
3: Note: When using any controller, each lamp must have its own start address
code. If the start address code of the first lamp is set to A001, the number of
channels of the lamp is 16CH; then The start address code of the two lamps is
set to A017; the start address code of the third lamp is set to A033; and so on,
(this setting method also needs to be determined according to different

consoles)
1.2 Fixture Lamp installation
The lamps can be placed horizontally, hung diagonally and upside down.
Pay attention to the installation method when hanging diagonally and upside
down.
As shown in Figure 2, before locating the luminaire, ensure the stability of
the installation site. When reversing the hanging installation, you must ensure
that the luminaire does not fall down on the support frame. You need to use a
safety rope to pass through the support frame and the luminaire lift. Hand
assist hanging to ensure safety and prevent the lamp from falling and sliding.
When the lamps are installed and debugged, pedestrians are prohibited
from passing underneath. Regularly check whether the safety ropes are worn
and the hook screws are loose.
Our company will not bear any responsibility for all the consequences
caused by the falling of the lamp due to the unstable installation of the hanging.

2.2.1 Manual
This interface is used to control the current lamp and automatically enter the host
state (do not receive DMX signals, send DMX signals to the bus to the slave).
The manual menu will display 16 channels or 20 channels according to the standard
16-channel or extended 20-channel mode set in the setting menu.

2. Common faults
1. For some common faults, corresponding solutions are
proposed. Any problems that cannot be solved should be handled
by professionals. Before servicing the lamp, please disconnect the
power supply.
2. Light bulb does not light up
⚫Check whether the voltage matching the lamp is installed;
⚫Check whether the connection of the power supply of the lamp

or the control switch is bad;
⚫Check whether the power supply is insufficient;
⚫Check if the DMX512 controller has sent instructions。
3.After the lamp is reset normally, it does not accept the control
of the console
⚫Check whether the numerical start address and function options
of the lamp are correct;
⚫Check whether the connection of the communication control line
is correct, the communication line is too long or has been
interrupted;
⚫Check whether the control equipment is invalid, and check
whether the serially connected signal amplifier is invalid;
⚫Check whether the communication line is too long or other
equipment interferes with each other;
⚫Optimize wiring, shorten the length of control signal lines, and
separate high-voltage and low-voltage lines;
⚫Add signal amplifier;
⚫The signal line adopts high-quality shielded twisted pair;
⚫Connect a signal terminal resistor (120 ohm) at the end of the
lamp。

3. fixture cannot be started
⚫Check whether the power supply parameters are consistent with
the lamps;
⚫Check that the lamp has poor contact due to extrusion
deformation, internal parts vibration, moisture and other
reasons during long-distance transportation
⚫Or fall off.
⚫Please check whether the internal wire product connector of the
lamp is off or loose.
⚫Check whether the electronic components of the lamp (such as
electronic transformers, PCB boards, motor control boards, etc.)
are loose, short-circuited and burned out。
4.When working, the X-axis or Y-axis of the lamp does not work
properly
⚫Check one by one according to the previous step;
⚫Check whether the transmission belt corresponding to the X and
Y axis directions in the lamp is off or broken;
⚫Check whether the data feedback receiver (optocoupler)
corresponding to the X and Y directions in the lamp is damaged;
⚫Reboot and reset once
