13. Installation
Unpack, identify all the parts and keep the packaging in a safe place.
Make sure the product is appropriately earthed.
Mounting:
1. Choose an appropriate mounting location, bearing in mind the following:
Make sure there is easy access to the product for maintenance and
programming purposes.
Adequate ventilation is required –at least 50cm from adjacent surfaces.
The product should be plugged in directly to the mains without using dimmers.
Any fixture used must be capable of supporting the weight of the product and
must appropriate to the construction of the surface the product will be attached
to.
Use a safety cable/chain to further secure the LED Shadow.
If linking multiple products, ensure these are close enough together for power
linking cables to reach.
The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the
product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.
Using tools could damage the knobs.

AC Power:
The LED Shadow™ has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input voltage
range of 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit
breaker, power outlet and wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the
product or refer to the product specification chart. The listed current rating indicates the
product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (Circuit breaker or fuse). Make sure that
the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resister) or dimmer circuit, even if the
rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 –100% switch.
Fuse Replacement:
Disconnect the product from the power outlet before replacing the fuse.
Wedge the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the slot of the fuse holder.
Pry the fuse holder out of the housing.
Remove the blown fuse from the holder and replace with a fuse of the exact same
type and rating.
Insert the fuse holder back in place and reconnect power.
Configuration (DMX Linking):
The LED Shadow can work with a DMX controller. Set the product in DMX mode to control
with a DMX controller.
Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket
on the product.
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the
product uses. If you choose a starting address that it too high, you could restrict the access
to some of the product’s channels.
The LED Shadow uses 3 DMX channels which defines the highest configurable address to
510.
To select the starting address, do the following:
Press <MENU> repeatedly until “Addr” shows on the display
Press <ENTER> and d001-510 will show on the display
Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the starting address.

Press <ENTER>.
DMX Channel Assignments and Values:
You will require a suitable DMX controller and appropriate serial data link cables.
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained on one single line.
Cabling must have a male XLR connector at one end and a female XLR connector on the
other end.
Setting up a DMX Serial Link:
Connect the male 3 pin connector of the DMX cable to the female output 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 connector of the next fixture (a male 3 pin connector).
Repeat for further devices.

Standalone/Master-Slave Fixture Linking:
Connect the male 3 pin connector of the DMX cable to the female output 3 pin connector of
the first device.
Connect the end of the cable coming from the first device (which will have a female 3 pin
connector) to the input connector of the next device (a male 3 pin connector).
Repeat for further devices.
Operation:
To access the control panel functions, use the four buttons located under the display. Please
refer to the Product Overview to see the button locations on the control panel.
Configuration (stand-alone):
Set the product in one of the stand-alone modes to control without a DMX controller.
Connect the product to a suitable power outlet.
Note: Never connect a product that is operating in any stand-alone mode to a DMX string
connected to a DMX controller. Products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that
could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.

Auto Programmes:
To run an auto program, do the following:
Press <MENU> repeatedly until Aut shows on the display
Press <ENTER> and Aut0-5 will show on the display.
Use <UP> or <DOWN> to select the desired program.

Press <ENTER>.
Master/Slave Mode:
The Master/Slave mode allows a single LED Shadow product (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more LED Shadow products (the Slaves) without the need of a DMX
controller. The master product will be set to operate in either Automatic mode or Sound-
Activation mode, while the slave products will operate in unison with the master product.
Configure the products as indicated below:
Slave products:
Press <MODE> until SLA shows on the display.
Press <ENTER> to accept. SLAV will show in the display.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave product to the DMX output of the master product.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slave products to the DMX output of the previous
slave product.
Finish setting and connecting all the slave products.
Master Product:
Set the master product to run in Auto mode or Sound Activation Mode.
Make the master product the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
Configure all of the slave products before connecting the master to the daisy chain.
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave operation
because the controller may interfere with the signals from the master.
Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.
14. Care and Maintenance
Clean the device regularly –typically twice a month. Dust can cause over-heating
and reduces light output.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
Always unplug after use and before cleaning or any maintenance. Allow the product
to cool before handling –allow at least 15 minutes. The fixture surface may reach
temperatures of up to 160°C (320°F).
Use a vacuum cleaner or dry compressed air and a soft brush to remove dust from
external surface and vents. Clean all glass with a mild solution of glass cleaner and a

soft lint-free cloth or lens tissue. Apply the solution to the cloth and drag dirt to the
outside of the lens. Gently polish optical surfaces till they are clean and free of haze
and lint. Do not touch the glass with your hands during cleaning. Periodically clean
internal and external lenses and/or mirrors to optimize light output. Allow all parts
to dry properly. Clean external optics at least every 20 days. Clean internal optics at
least every 30 days.
Should the product fail, cease use immediately. Do not attempt to repair this
product yourself. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the unit. Please contact
ROMPA® in the case of product failure.
Once this product is eventually exhausted, please dispose of it appropriately and
responsibly.
To eliminate unnecessary wear and improve its lifespan, during periods of non-use,
completely disconnect the product from power.
