DIAMOND7
- 1 - INTRODUCTION
1.1 DESCRIPTION
DIAMOND7 is the smallest luminaire in the DIAMOND family oering all the advantages of WBFX tech-
nology. WBFX technology establishes a new concept of versatility oering three operating modes: high
performance Washlight with advanced color calibration , punchy Beam light and amazing FX graphic gen-
erator, revealing itself as a true creative tool for the LDs.
DIAMOND7 is equipped with 7x15W RGBW/Full Color Osram Ostar LED driven to 1A and it is the brightest
LED xture in its category oering one of the highest lumen/W ratio in the industry, through the combi-
nation of high-end LED source, new optic design ,and the most advanced liquid-cooling system and PSU
managment on the maket. A 1:11 Fast-Zoom system oers a fully variable beam of 6°-66°, remaining even
in the whole range and making this xture useful in both indoor venues as TV studios and music hall and
outdoor large environments as stadium and arenas.
The“Wash-mode”features a perfect color calibration system and homogeneous light distribution through
the application of reex-technique where color are pre-mixed in the internal optical channels. The “Beam-
mode” enters in action when DIAMOND7 is zoomed to 6° featuring a parallel beam and the xture be-
comes an ultra-bright mid-air eect light. The “FX-mode” is obtained through a state of the art com-
bination between the honey-comb gapless optic design, pixel control of every individual LED and the
advanced rmware features.
DIAMOND7 oers several DMX mode with mltiple pre-built static and dynamic patterns which can be con-
trolled on dierent layers and variable in speed and position also in the basic DMX mode with low chan-
nels requirements. Extreme speed and precision of movements is guaranteed by the ultra-lightweight
chassis and by usage of special motors, allowing DIAMOND to be fast, reactive and precise in its move-
ments. SHINE series electronic design oers advanced features as colorful high-denition LCD display with
multi-language Menu, battery backup, RDM, hibernation, color bounce, advanced diagnostic, dimmer
control and color managment system.

- 2 - INSTALLATION
2.1 MOUNTING
The DIAMOND7 may be set up on a solid and even surface. By means of the xing facilities of the base-
plate, the unit can also be mounted upside down to a cross arm. The base plate is shown in g.3. For xing,
stable mounting clips are required. According to the gure, the bolts of the brackets are placed into the
openings provided in the base plate and turned clockwise until they lock (to the stop). Always ensure that
the unit is rmly xed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. The mounting place must be of
sucient stability and be able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. When carrying out any
installation, always comply scrupulously with all the regulations (particularly regarding safety) currently
in force in the country in which the xture’s being used. Always additionally secure the projector with the
safety rope from falling down. For this purpose, fasten the safety rope at a suitable position so that the
maximum fall of the projector will be 20 cm.

3.4 SLAVE RECEIVE MODE
This mode will allow you to link up the units together without a controller. Choose a unit to function as the
Master. The unit must be the rst unit in line; other units will work as slave with the same eect.
A Master unit can send up to 3 dierent data groups to the Slave units, i.e. a Master unit can start 3 dier-
ent Slave units, which run 3 dierent programs. The Master unit sends the 3 program parts in a continuous
loop.
The Slave unit receives data from the Master unit according to the group which the Slave unit was as-
signed to.
For example, if a slave device is set to Receive Part 1, the Master unit Slave unit will send the automated
Chase Part 1; if set to Receive Part 2, the Chase Part 2 Slave units will receive from the Master.

For operation via light control unit with DMX512 protocol, is sucient connect the controller to DIA-
MOND7. To able to operate the DIAMOND7 with a light controller, adjust the DMX start address for the
rst a DMX channel. If e. g. address 33 on the controller is provided for controlling the function of the rst
DMX channel, adjust the start address 33 on the DIAMOND7. The other functions of the light eect panel
are then automatically assigned to the following addresses.
An example with the start address 33 is shown below:

3.13 CONNECTION OF THE DMX LINE
DMX connection employs standard XLR connectors. Use shielded pair-twisted cables with 120Ω imped-
ance and low capacity.
The following diagram shows the connection mode:
ATTENTION
The screened parts of the cable (sleeve) must never be connected to the system’s earth, as this would
cause faulty xture and controller operation.
Over long runs can be necessary to insert a DMX level matching amplier.
For those connections the use of balanced microphone cable is not recommended because it cannot
transmit control DMX data reliably.
• Connect the controller DMX input to the DMX output of the rst unit.
• Connect the DMX output to the DMX input of the following unit. Connect again the output to the input
of the following unit until all the units are connected in chain.
• When the signal cable has to run longer distance is recommended to insert a DMX termination on the
last unit.
3.14 CONSTRUCTION OF THE DMX TERMINATION
The termination avoids the risk of DMX 512 signals being reected back along the cable when they reach-
es the end of the line: under certain conditions and with certain cable lengths, this could cause them to
cancel the original signals.
The termination is prepared by soldering a 120Ω 1/4 W resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the 5-pin male XLR
connector, as shown in gure.
