IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read these instructions carefully before use and retain for future
reference.
• When using electrical appliances basic safety precautions should always be
followed.
• Check the product before use for any damage. Should you notice any damage on
the cable or casing, do not use.
• Check that the voltage indicated on the rating plate corresponds with that of the
local network before connecting the product to the mains power supply.
• Keep this product away from rain and moisture.
• Caution: Never look directly into the light source.
• Always disconnect from the mains when the product is not in use or before
cleaning.
• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.
• Do not operate or store in an environment of high humidity or where moisture may
enter the product as this can reduce insulation and lead to electric shock.
• Do not connect the product to a dimmer pack.
• Never carry the xture solely by its head.
• The LED lamps in this product are not replaceable.
• Refer all servicing and repair work to qualied personnel.
Safety Information for Installation and Operation:
• When installing, make sure that the product is not exposed to extreme heat,
moisture or dust.
• If you’re using a smoke machine, make sure that the product is never exposed to
the direct smoke jet and is installed at least 0.5m away.
• The maximum ambient temperature is 40°C (104°F). Do not operate the product in
temperatures higher than this.
• The relative humidity must not exceed 50% with an ambient temperature of 45°C.
• The minimum distance between the light-output and the illuminated surface must
be more than 0.5m.
• This product is allowed to be installed via a mounting bracket. In order to have
sufcient ventilation, leave 50cm of free space around the device. Ensure no
ventilation slots are blocked.
• A secondary means of suspension must be provided, such that in the event of a
failure of the primary suspension, no part of the luminaire can fall.
• The housing must not touch any surrounding surfaces or objects.
• The operator must make sure that safety related matters are observed and that
the installation is approved by a qualied installer before taking into operation for
the rst time.
• Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing the fuse
and be sure to replace with the same fuse size and type.

PRODUCT OVERVIEW
SETUP
Fuse Replacement:
• With a at head screwdriver, prise the fuse holder out of its housing.
• Remove the defective fuse from its holder and replace with the same fuse
specication.
• Put the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect the power.
Fixture Linking:
• You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more xtures using a
DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more xtures set to a
master/slave operating mode.
• The combined number of channels required by all the xtures on a serial data link
determines the number of xtures the data link can support.
• Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single
line. To comply with the EIA-485 standard no more than 32 devices should be
connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32 xtures on one serial data
link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration
of the digital DMX signal.
• Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 500m (1640ft).
Data Cabling:
• To link xtures together you must obtain data cables.If you choose to create your
own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and
are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

CABLE CONNECTIONS
• Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR
connector on the other end.
• Caution: Do not allow contact between the common and the xture’s chassis
ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your xture may
perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to
make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.
3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART
• Note: If you use a controller with a 5pin DMX output connector, you will need to
use a 5-pin to 3-pin adaptor.
Conductor 3-pin female (output) 5-pin male (input)
Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1
Data (-) signal Pin 2 Pin 2
Data (+) signal Pin 3 Pin 3
Termination reduces signal errors. To
avoid signal transmission problems and
interference, it is always advisable to
connect a DMX signal terminator to the
output of the nal xture in the chain.
DMX Data Cable:
• Use a Belden 9841 or equivalent cable that meets the specications for EIA RS-
485 applications. The cable will have the following characteristics:
- 2-conductor trwitsed pair plus a shield
- Maximum capacitance between conductors - 30pF/ft
- Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield - 55pF/ft
- Maximum resistance of 20Ω / 1000ft
- Nominal impedance 100-140Ω.
• Standard microphone cable cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long
distances.
SETUP

SETTING UP A DMX SERIAL DATA LINK
• Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of
the DMX cable to the output (female) 3-pin
connector of the controller.
• Connect the end of the cable coming from
the controller, which will have a (female) 3-pin
connector, to the input connecotr of the next
xture consisting of (male) 3-pin connector.
• Then proceed to connect from the output
as stated above to the input of the following
xture and so on.
MASTER/SLAVE FIXTURE LINKING
• Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female)
3-pin connector of the rst xture.
• Connect the end of the cable coming from the rst xture, which will have a
(female) 3-pin connector, to the input connector of the next xture consisting of a
(male) 3-pin connector.
• Then proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the
following xture and so on.
• Often, the setup for Master-Slave and Standalone operation requires that the rst
xture in the chain is initialised for this purpose via either the settings in the control
panel, or DIP switches.
• Secondly, the xtures that follow may also require a slave setting. See “Operating
Instructions” on page 6 for guidance on this type of setup.
MOUNTING
Orientation:
• This xture may be mounted on a suitable base in any position provided there is
adequate room for ventilation.
