Installation
Read ‘Safety information’ before installing the xture.
The xture is designed for indoor use only and must be used in a dry location with adequate ventilation.
Ensure that none of the xture’s ventilation slots are blocked.
Fasten the xture to a secure structure or surface. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can
be moved or fall over. If you install the xture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it
falls, secure it as directed in this user manual using a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the
xture if the primary fastening method fails.
Fastening the xture to a at surface
The xture can be fastened to a hard, xed, at surface that is oriented at any angle. Ensure that the
surface and all fasteners used can support at least 10 times the weight of all xtures and equipment to
be installed on it.
Fasten the xture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or fall over. If
you install the xture in a location where it may cause injury or damage if it falls, secure it as directed
below with a securely anchored safety cable that will hold the xture if the primary fastening method
fails.
Mounting the xture on a truss
The xture can be clamped to a truss or similar rigging structure in any orientation. When installing the
xture hanging vertically down, you can use an open-type clamp such as a G-clamp. When installing in
any other orientation, you must use a half-coupler clamp that completely encircles the truss chord.
To clamp the xture to a truss:
1. Check that the rigging structure can support
at least 10 times the weight of all xtures and
equipment to be installed on it.
2. Block access under the work area.
3. Fold the legs of the mounting bracket togeth-
er and bolt a rigging clamp securely to the
mounting bracket. The bolt used must be
M10, grade 8.8 steel minimum. It must pass
through both mounting bracket legs and be
fastened with a self-locking nut.
4. Working from a stable platform, hang the x-
ture with its clamp on the truss and fasten the
clamp securely.
5. Secure the fixture with a safety cable as di-
rected below.
Securing with a safety cable
Secure the xture with a safety cable (or other secondary attachment) that is approved for the weight
of the xture so that the safety cable will hold the xture if a primary attachment fails.
Loop the safety cable through the eyebolt in the back of the fixture and around a secure anchoring
point. Do not loop the safety cable around the xture’s mounting bracket only, as this will leave the x-
ture unsecured if it separates from the bracket.

DMX-512 connection/connection between xtures
DMX/RDM
controller
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller di-
rectly with the DMX-input of the rst xture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to connect DMX-controllers
with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the rst xture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next xture.
Always connect one output with the input of the next xture until all xtures are connected.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator:
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environ-
ment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing
corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug
with a 120 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output XLR socket
of the last xture in the chain.
Caution: At the last xture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 Ω
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the
last xture.
Power connection
Power Requirements
The CTC 300 Fresnel zoom luminaire operates on 100 to 240 volts AC (+/- 10%, auto-ranging). The lumi-
naire contains an auto-ranging power supply.
Power linking between xtures:

The xture with powercon in and out socket. Connect the power out to the power in socket in the next
xture till all are connected.
Caution: maximum power linking - 6 units.
Connection with the mains:
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.

Operation
The CTC 300 Fresnel zoom can operate in three different modes. In each mode you can run the xture
as a stand alone xture or in a master/slave conugration. This next section will detail the differences
in the operating modes.

Addressing
All xtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the correct xture
responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel number from which
the xture starts to listen to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allo-
cation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct number on the display located on the

9V5www.hotion.com
base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all xtures or a group of xtures, or make different address
for
each xture individually.
If you set the same address, all the units will start to listen to the same control signal from the same
channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will affect all the xtures simulta-
neously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to listen to the channel number you have set, based on
the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will af-
fect only the selected xture.
In the case of the CTC 300 Fresnel zoom, which is 3/6 channels xture. If you set, for example, the ad-
dress in the 3 channel mode to channel 4, the device will use the channel 4-6 for control.
Note: After switching on, the device will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is data received at the DMX input, you will see the DMX indicator light in green.
Universal DMX Control
This function allows you to use a universal DMX-512 controller to control the dimmer and strobe. A
DMX controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.
RDM control
The CTC 300 Fresnel can communicate using RDM (Remote Device Management) in accordance with
ESTA’s American National Standard E1.20-2006: Entertainment Technology RDM Remote Device Man-
agement Over DMX512 Networks.
RDM is a bi-directional communications protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the open
standard for DMX512 device conguration and status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without affecting ex-
isting non-RDM equipment. It allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and
receive messages from specic xtures.
With RDM function, you can set the DMX address of your xtures remotely. This is especially useful
when the device is installed in a remote area.

10 V5www.hotion.com
Each CTC 300 Fresnel has a factory set RDM UID (unique identication number).
Note: Before operation, enable RDM function in Advanced settings.

Fixture Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses and mirror should

13 V5www.hotion.com
be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in
which the xture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend clean-
ing on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
To clean the xture:
1. Disconnect the xture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Vacuum or gently blow away dust and loose particles from the outside of the xture with low-pres-
sure compressed air.
3. Clean the surfaces by wiping gently with a soft, clean lint-free cloth moistened with a weak deter-
gent solution. Do not rub glass surfaces hard: lift particles off with a soft repeated press. Dry with a
soft, clean, lint-free cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Remove stuck particles with an unscent-
ed tissue or cotton swab moistened with glass cleaner or distilled water.
4. Check that the xture is dry before reapplying power.
Fuse Replacement
This fuse is located in a fuseholder next to the MAINS OUT socket on the connections panel.
To replace a fuse:
1. Disconnect the xture from power and allow it to cool for at least 10 minutes.
2. Unscrew the cap of the fuseholder and remove the fuse. Replace with a fuse of the same size and
rating only.
3. Reinstall the fuseholder cap before reapplying power.
Troubleshooting
Listed below are a few common problems that you may encounter, with solutions.
The xture does not work, no light
• Check the connection of power and main fuse. Be sure the external fuse has not blown.
• Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
