3. Installation
3.1 Rigging the fixture
Ensure that the structure (truss, wall) t which y u are attaching
the fixture is secure.
Mounting via two Omega holders Mounting points for permanent installation
The mounting holes in the Omega holders have a diameter of 13 mm. Use the clamps with M12 bolts only.
The four mounting holes in the fi ture base have a diameter of 17 mm. Use M16 screws for fastening.
The fi ture can be placed directly on the stage floor or can be rigged on the structure via two omega holders in
the following positions:
For securing of the fi ture on a flat surface in the position B serves two mounting slots of diameter 8.5mm in the
fi ture base.
The four mounting holes of diameter 17mm are intended for permanent installation on the flat surface, especially
in position C.
Enhanced care has to be considered during the installation of the fi ture in the position D via clamps.The clamps
should be fastened to the upper support in order to anable the fi ture holding onto the bottom support. In case,
that the clamps are installed on the bottom support, the fi ture could move down on account of its weight.

Both LED modules can be adjusted to the desired position either together by means of the the tilt-locks for both
LED modules or individually. For individual adjusting of the LED module you do not need any tool as a friction
locks keep adjusted position of each LED module.
Danger f injury! Tw w rkers have t handle with the fixture including adjusting the LED m dules t
the desired p siti n. The LED m dules are very heavy.
IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including calculating working load limits,
installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fi ture. If you lack
these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger.
Improper installation can result in bodily injury or damage to property.
For overhead use, always install a safety rope that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fi ture. You must
only use safety rope with screw-on carbine. Pull the safety rope through the apertures in the fi ture base and over
the trussing system.
Caution: Fi tures may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a
possible installation, do not install the device.
3.2 Connection to the mains
Fixtures must be installed by a qualified electrician in acc rdance with all nati nal
and l cal electrical and c nstructi n c des and regulati n.

3.3 Installation of the barn doors, top/half top hats
You can install barn-doors or top hats to better define illuminated surface.
Before installing the equipment disconnect the fi ture from the mains.
1. Fit the barn-doors module (1) or top/half top hat (2) on the LED module (4) and fasten it by means of the
12 screws (3) as shown on the picture below.
2. Repeat the same steps for the second LED module of the fi ture.
Never close the barn-doors during fixture operation!
3.4 Changing the beam angle
If you need to get a wide beam angle (25°), you have to install frost glasses to both LED modules.
Before installing the frost glasses disconnect the fi ture from the mains.
1. Unscrew the ten countersunk screws (1) from the LED module (3).
2. Lift the frame (2) with the gasket strip and carefully remove the clear glass (5) from its placing.
Place the frost glass insted of the clear one.
3. Place the frame (2) with the gasket strip back on the LED module (3) and screw it with ten screws (1).
4. Repeat the same steps for the second LED module of the fi ture.

3.5 DMX 512 connection
The fi ture is equipped with 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable
designed for RS-485 and 5-pin XLR- connectors in order to connect the controller with the fi ture or one fi ture
with another.
Wiring of the XLR connectors:
DMX output DMX input
XLR socket (rear view): XLR plug (rear view):
1– Shield 2 - Signal (-) 3- Signal (+) 4– Not connected 5– Not connected
To build a DMX chain
1. Connect the DMX output of the controller directly with the DMX input of the first fi ture in the DMX chain.
2. Connect the DMX output of the first fi ture in the DMX chain with the DMX input of the ne t fi ture.
3. Always connect the DMX output with the input of the ne t fi ture until all fi tures are connected.
Do not overload the link. Ma . 32 fi tures may be connected on a DMX link.
Terminate the link by installing a termination plug in the output of the last fi ture. The termination plug is a male
5-pin XLR plug with a 120 Ohm resistor connected between Signal (–) and Signal (+).
3.6 Master/slave connection
To build a master/slave-chain:
Connect the DMX output of the master fi ture in the data chain with the DMX input of the first slave. Always
connect output with the input of the ne t slave until all slaves are connected (up to 32 fi tures).
Caution: It is necessary to terminate the input of the master fi ture and the output of the last slave with a 120 Ohm
resistor in order to ensure the proper transmission on the data link.
3.6 Stand alone operation
The fi tures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can e ecute pre-set programs which can be
different for every fi ture. To set the program to be played, see the "Stand-alone setting" (menu "St.AL.").
"Stand-alone operation" can be applied to the single fi ture or to multiple fi tures operating synchronously.
Synchronous operation of multiple fi tures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is
set as a master (master mode) and the rest as the slaves (slave mode).
To set the fi ture as the master or slave, see the " Fi ture Address " (menu "A001").
Only one fi ture can be set as the master.
The master fi ture starts simultaneous program start in the other slave fi tures. All fi tures have a definite,
synchronized starting point when playing back their programs. The number of running program is the same in all
slaves and depends on the master's choice (menu "St.AL.“). Every fi ture runs its program repeatedly, starting the
program step No.1 when requested by the master.
E ample:
If the slave fi ture has a shorter program length, it will continuously repeat its program until the master fi ture
finishes its own program and restarts its program running (slave 1- prog.step 3 will not be finished).
If the slave fi ture has a longer program length, it will restart at prog. step 1 before it completes all its prog.steps
(slave 2 - prog.step 5 will not be played)- see the picture bellow.

Note: Disconnect the fi tures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data collisions
can occur and the fi tures will not work properly!

6.6 Stand alone setting
The fi tures on a data link are not connected to the controller but can e ecute pre-set programs which can be
different for every fi ture. “Stand-alone operation” can be applied to the single fi ture or to multiple fi tures
operating synchronously.
Synchronous operation of multiple fi tures requires that they must be connected on a data link and one of them is
set as a master (“MASt“) and the rest as the slaves (“SLA“). Up to 32 fi tures can be connected in a master/slave
chain. Only one fi ture can be set as the master.
Note: Disconnect the fi tures from the DMX controller before master/slave operating, otherwise data collisions can
occur and the fi tures will not work properly. See the chapters “Stand-alone operation“ and “ Master/slave
connection“.

7. RDM
This fi ture is ready for RDM operation.RDM (Remote Device Management) is a bi-directional communications
protocol for use in DMX512 control systems, it is the new open standard for DMX512 device configuration and
status monitoring.
The RDM protocol allows data packets to be inserted into a DMX512 data stream without adversely affecting
e isting non-RDM equipment. By using a special „Start Code,“ and by complying with the timing specifications for
DMX512, the RDM protocol allows a console or dedicated RDM controller to send commands to and receive
messages from specific moving lights.
RDM allows e plicit commands to be sent to a device and responses to be received from it.
