SAFE USAGE OF THE PROJECTOR
When unpacking and before disposing of the carton, check there is no transportation damage before using the projector.
Should there be any damage caused by transportation, consult your dealer and do not use the apparatus.
The projector can be used indoors and outdoors, IP67.
The projector is not designed or intended to be mounted directly on to inflammable surfaces.
The projector is only intended for installation, operation and maintenance by qualified personnel.
Do not project the beam onto inflammable surfaces, minimum distance is 5m. 5m
Avoid direct exposure to the light from the lamp. The light is harmful to eyes.
Do not attempt to dismantle and/or modify the projector in any way.
Electrical connection must only be carried out by qualified personnel.
Before installation, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power requirements of the projector.
It is essential that each projector is correctly earthed and that electrical installation conforms to all relevant standards.
Do not connect this device to any other types of dimmer apparatus.
Make sure that the power-cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. Never let the power-cord come into contact
with other cables. Only handle the power-cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power-cord.
Keep the optical system clean. Do not touch the LED lens with bare hands.
When the projector is hanged to a high place, please use a safety cord provided to pass through the projector handles as
a secondary safety fixing for safety seasons. For details, refer to “INSTALL THE PROJECTOR “section.
LED lens shall be changed if they have become visibly damaged to such an extent that their effectiveness is impaired, for
example by cracks or deep scratches.
Exterior surface temperatures of the projector after 5 minutes’ operation is 55℃, when achieving steady state it is 60℃.
There is no user serviceable parts inside the projector, do not open the housing and never operate the projector with the
covers removed.
Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it or
before attempting any maintenance work !
If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to consult your dealer or manufacturer.

When the projector is used, as the left figure above, unfold the support to certain angle and put the projector
onto a flat surface. Make sure it is steady.
When the projector is used at a high place, as the right figure above, fold the support, turn it round to the top of
the projector, connect a lamp hook to the mounting hole reserved in the support by screws, and then hang the
hook to a high place. Eventually, use the safety cord provided to pass through the handles and hang it as a second
safety fixing.

DMX512
Connection between the controller and a projector and between one projector and another must be made with a 2
core-screened cable, with each core having at least a 0.5mm diameter. Please use the projector’s cannon 3- pin signal
input and output cables as connection. The 3-pin signal connections are connected as shown in the figure above.
Note: Care should be taken to ensure that none of the pins touch the metallic body of the plug or each other. The body of
the plug is not connected in any way. The XPar 348 accepts digital control signals in protocol DMX512 (1990).
The amount of projectors connected in parallel is not more than 32. Connect the controller’s output to the first fixture’s
input cable with a 3-pin signal cable, connect the first fixture’s output cable to the second fixture’s input cable and connect
the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually, connect the last fixture’s output cable to a DMX terminator. Note: Only when
all the start addresses of fixtures are set the same, synchronous control could be achieved.
When the first fixture is not connected to the controller, and all the other connections are the same as above, it is master /
slave mode connection. To achieve master / slave mode, set the first fixture master , the others salve( slave is default).
As for power connections, each projector has to be supplied separately by external power. Use the power cord of each
projector to connect the mains power directly, paying attention to the voltage and frequency marked on the panel of the
projector.
Use the power cord of the first projector’s power in cable connect to the mains power directly, then connect the first
fixture’s power out cable to the second fixture’s power in cable and connect the rest fixtures in the same way. Eventually,
all fixture connect finished. When using voltage is 200V, 220V, 230V, 240V, the amount of projectors connected is not
more than 15. When using voltage is 100V, 120V, the amount of projectors connected is not more than 8. Paying
attention to the voltage and frequency marked on the panel of the projector.

DMX TERMINATOR
In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with a DMX terminator. This
prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control signals.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω(ohm) resistor connected across pins 2 and 3, which is
then plugged into the output socket on the last projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.

TO SET THE DMX START ADDRESS
Each Xpar348 must be given a DMX start address so that the correct projector responds to the correct control signals.
This DMX start address is the channel number from which the projector starts to “listen” to the digital control information
being sent out from the controller. The Xpar348 has 3 DMX modes, which are standard mode, extended mode and
short mode. For example, the standard mode has 11 channels, so set the No. 1 projector’s address 001, No. 2
projector’s address 012, No. 3 projector’s address 023, No. 4 projector’s address 034, and so on.
Launch the projector. Press button ENTER for more than 5 seconds to unlock the panel.
Press button FUNC, UP or DOWN to find “AddR” menu.
Then press ENTER to show DMX address and press UP or DOWN to set DMX address.
At this time, the address will flash continuously. Press button ENTER to confirm and it means the setting has been
enabled.
Press button FUNC, it will return to the upper menu one by one.

MAINTENANCE
To prolong the life of the projector, it is very important to do the maintenance work. The environment is hash outdoors,
or if the projector is idle for a long time, damp, smoke or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation
of dirt on its cover and housing. So it should be cleaned to maintain an optimum light output and at the same time to
prevent it from corrupted by acid gas.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates. Soft cloth and typical glass cleaning
products should be used for cleaning. It is recommended to clean projector at least once every 20 days.
Do not use any organic solvent, e.g. alcohol, to clean housing of the apparatus.
