the device.
� For commercial use the country-specific accident prevention regulations of the government safety
organization for electrical facilities must be complied with at all times.
Caution – material damage
� This device must not be connected to the mains voltage by means of a dimmer.
� Lighting effects are not designed for permanent operation. Consistent operation breaks will ensure
that the device will serve you for a long time without defects.
�
Never switch the device on and off at short intervals. This will considerably reduce the service life of
the device.
� If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuation, do not switch it on immediately.

INSTALLATION
Please note: All devices, lighting effects and crossbeams attached on a stand must be secured with a
secondary attachment!
1. Attach an appropriate adapter or TV-adapter to the top end of the stand and fasten it with the fixation
screw.
2. Attach the mounting bracket of the follow spot onto the TV-adapter and tighten the fixation screw.
3.
The given carrying capacity of the stand must not be exceeded. Please consult the appropriate user
manual for further information.
4. To align the device, release the fixation screws at the mounting bracket, adjust the desired
inclination angle and retighten the fixation screws.
5.
After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot,
deformation and looseness.
CONNECTIONS
DMX512 control
A DMX512 data link is required in order to control the device via DMX. The device provides 3-pin XLR
connectors for DMX connection.
1
Connect the output of your DMX controller to the DMX input DMX IN of the light set with a DMX cable.
2
Connect the DMX output DMX OUT of the light set to the DMX input of the next unit in the chain. Always
connect one output to the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
3 At the last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Plug the terminator with a 120 Ω resistor between
Signal (–) and Signal (+) in the DMX output of the last unit.
XLR connection:
Connection to the mains
The device uses an auto-range power supply that accepts input voltages between 100 und 240 volts.
1
Connect the device via the mains cable to a grounded mains socket. Thus the unit is switched on.
2
To switch off the unit, disconnect the power plug.
3
Do not connect the unit to the mains voltage via a dimmer. For a more convenient operation, use a mains
outlet which is switchable.

OPERATION
After you connected the effect to the mains, the light starts running. The power switch is on the right side of
the panel.
During the reset of 30 seconds, the motors are trimmed and the device is ready for use afterwards.
Via the Lamp ON/OFF switch you can turn the LED on and off.
The strobe fader controls three different strobe effects: Up to 50% of the fader path controls strobe speed,
from 50% to 75% of the fader is pulse effect and from 75% to 100% is random mode.
Half-tones can be created by pressing the desired adjoining color buttons simultaneously.
Please note: white and red can not produce a half-tone.
Focusing
Step 1: Loosen the focus button on the side of the device.
Step 2: Adjust the focus by sliding the lens housing forward or backward.
Step 3: Tighten the focus button.
Zooming
Step 1: Loosen the zoom button on the side of the device.
Step 2: Set the desired beam angle (7° - 13°).
Step 3: Tighten the focus button.
Control Board
The Control Board offers several features: you can easily set the starting address or execute a reset.
Enter the menu by pressing the MODE-button. Browse through the menu by
pressing UP or DOWN. Press ENTER in order to select the desired menu. You
can change the selection by pressing UP or DOWN. Press ENTER in order to
confirm. You can leave every mode by pressing MODE. The functions provided

Setting the DMX starting address
For operation with a controller with DMX512 protocol, the device is equipped with 6 control channels. To be
able to operate the device with a DMX controller, the DMX starting address must be set for the first DMX
channel. The starting address depends upon which DMX controller is being used. Please refer to the
controller’s documentation.
1
Press the MODE button so many times until A001 is indicated in the display. Confirm with the ENTER
button.
2
The red LED above the display will blink when DMX signals are being received. If no control signals are
available, the red LED above the display will not blink.
Note: Please make sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each device
correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX chain. If several devices are addressed
similarly, they will work synchronically.
