1. Introduction
The SubDrive 1 serves for power and control of the ArcSource Submersible II LED module.
2. Safety information
FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY
BEFORE POWERING OR INSTALLING YOUR SubDrive 1 !
Save it for future reference.
DANGEROUS VOLTAGE CONSTITUTING A RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK IS PRESENT WITHIN THIS UNIT!
The xture was designed for outdoor use and it is intended for professional application only. It is not for house-
hold use.
Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated on the xture.
Be careful when removing xture cover in order to get access to the control display and the xture is under
voltage. If you do not need to set the xture, always disconnect the xture from AC power before removing its
cover.
Do not install the xture near an open ame.
Refer servicing to qualied service personnel.
This xture falls under protection class I. Therefore this xture has to be connected to a mains socket outlet
with a protective earthing connection.
Do not connect this xture to a dimmer pack.
Keep combustible materials at least 10 cm away from the xture.
Do not cover the xture with cloth or other materials.
When choosing the installation spot, please make sure that the xture is not exposed to extreme heat or dust.
Only operate the xture after having checked that the housing is rmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.
Operate the xture only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualied for operating the xture.
Please consider that unauthorized modications on the xture are forbidden due to safety reasons!
Please use the original packaging if the xture is to be transported.
If this device will be operated in any way di󰀨erent to the one described in this manual, the product may suf-
fer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like
short-circuit, burns, electric shock etc.
Immunity of the equipment is designed for electromagnetic environments E1, E2, E3 according to
the standard EN55103-2 ed.2 Electromagnetic compatibility. Product family standard for audio, video,
audiovisual and entertainment lighting control apparatus for professional use. Part 2: Immunity.
The installation company should check levels of possible interferences above the tested levels E1,E2,E3 given
by this standard (e.g. transmitters in surrounding area) before installing the equipment.
The product (covers and cables) must not be exposed to a high frequency electromagnetic eld higher than 3V/m.
Emission of the equipment complies with the standard EN55032 Electromagnetic compatibility of multimedia
equipment – Emission Requirements according to class B.

4. Mounting
Fixture must be installed by a qualied electrician in accordance with all national
and local electrical and construction codes and regulations.
Maximum cable length between between the SubDrive 1 and the ArcSource Sub-
mersible II depends on the operating mode:
Minimum mode: 100 m
Medium mode: 50 m
Maximum mode: 25 m
1. Unscrew four fastening screws (2) on the top cover (1) of the SubDrive 1 to get access to the PCB RB 3092
(11) with a display and connection blocks.
2. Fasten the SubDrive 1 on a non-ammable at surface via four mounting holes (9) of a diameter of 6 mm
in the housing.
3. Remove end caps (2) from cable glands before passing cables into the SubDrive 1.
Two cable glands M20x1.5 serve for cable of diameter of 7-13mm and two cable glands M12x1.5 serve for
cable of diameter of 3-7mm.
We recommend to apply an adequate layer of the paste LOCTITE 5331 on the plastic holder of each cable
gland before inserting it into the body of the gland.
Note: enclosed reducing seal (P/N 13051388) serves for cable of diameter of 4-8mm. Original seal has to be
removed from the cable gland before installing the reducing seal.
This device falls under protection class I. Therefore the SubDrive 1
has to be connected to a mains socket outlet with a protective earthing connection.
4. Connect the power cable to the terminal block (10) and rest of cables to the terminal blocks on the PCB (11)
according to the tables below, check their connection.
5. Fully tighten cable gland nuts and check that cables are properly fastened in the cable glands.
Note: To keep declared IP rating, every cable gland has to be covered with the end cap if this cable gland is
not used for cable passing.

2. Press the ENTER button.
3. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to select the required menu item.
4. Press the ENTER button to conrm the choice.
"P.O.ti" ---Power On time. Use the menu item to read the number of operation hours of the SubDrive 1 and
connected ArcSource Submersible II module.
"P.O.t.b." - the function shows the total number of operation hours of the SubDrive 1 since
the SubDrive 1 has been fabricated.
"P.t.b.r." - the function shows the number of operation hours of the SubDrive 1 since
the counter was last reset.
In order to reset this counter to 0 you have to press and hold the UP and DOWN
buttons and at the same time press the ENTER button.
"P.O.t.L." - the function shows the total number of operation hours of the connected ArcSource
Submersible II since this ArcSource Submersible II been fabricated.
"P.t.L.r." - the function shows the number of operation hours the connected ArcSource Submersible II
since the counter was last reset. In order to reset this counter to 0 you have to press and hold the UP
and DOWN buttons and at the at the same time press the ENTER button.
"dM In" ---DMX input values. Select this function to read DMX values of each channel received by the xture.
"tEMP" ---LED module temperature. Select this menu to read temperature of the connected ArcSource
Submersible II module:
"Cur.t." --- the current temperature of the ArcSource Submersible II.
"Hi.tE." --- the maximum temperature of the ArcSource Submersible II since the ArcSource Submersible
II has been fabricated.
"rSEt" --- the maximum temperature of the ArcSource Submersible II since the counter was last reset.
In order to reset this counter to 0 you have to press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons
and at the same time press the ENTER button.
Note: If DMX signal has been disconnected,
DMX address blinks.

The temperature can be displayed in either °C or °F - see option “tEM.U“ in the menu “PErS“.
"Ver.S." ---Software Versions. Select this function to read the software version of the SubDrive 1 and
connected ArcSource Submersible II.
"VEr.I" --- version of the SubDrive 1.
"VEr.2" --- version of the connected ArcSource Submersible II.
5.3 Personality ("PErS")
Use this menu to modify the Control unit operating behaviour.
"dM.Pr." --- DMX mode. Select this menu item to set a desired DMX mode. Please refer to the DMX protocol
for detail description of each DMX mode.
"M. F.ti." --- Max. fade time. Select this menu item to set a desired max. fade time (0.1-25.5 sec.). This adjusted
fade time inuences fade of red, green, blue, white and dimmer during DMX operation:
If time between two receiving DMX values is > than fade time set in the item “M.F.ti.“, the entire adjusted fade
time will be used.
If time between two receiving DMX values is < than fade time set in the item “M.F.ti.“, the adjusted fade time
will be reduced to ll entire time between the two receiving DMX values.
e.g “M.F.ti.“ = 2sec. and xture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive red=255 DMX. It means,
that red will go to full intensity during 2 seconds.
“M.F.ti.“ = 8 sec. and xture has received Red=0 DMX, after 5 seconds will receive red=255 DMX. It means,
that red will go to full intensity during 5 seconds. (Max, fade time is reduced from 8 sec. to 5 sec.).
Value "OFF" means, that this function is disabled.
"rGb.C." --- White counting. If this function is On, a white channel uses red, green and blue channels in a
proportion to the intensity of the white channel in order to maximize white output of the ArcSource Submersible II.
If you wish to light only with white LEDs at white channel, switch this function to OFF.
"tEM.U" --- Temperature Unit. Use this menu in order to display the ArcSource Submersible II temperature
in desired units: °C or °F.
"LoAd" --- Load. Use this menu to set a desired power to the connected ArcSource Submersible II.
"Min." - Minimum mode (35W).
"MEd." - Medium mode (70W).
"MAX." - Maximum mode (100W).
"In.Po." --- Init e󰀨ect positions. Use this function to set e󰀨ects to desired positions to which they will move
after switching the xture on without receiving DMX.
"dF.SE" --- Default Setting .The menu item sets certain xture parameters to the default (factory) values:
"M. F.ti." = 0.1
"rGb.C." = On
"tEM.U" = °C
"LoAd" =MEd
5.4 Manual mode ("Man.C.")
