Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master / slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures 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 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures 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 DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @110V: 92 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @240V: 184 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. 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.

DMX Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign DMX fixture addresses, which is the first
channel with which the LED Pinspot will respond to the controller.
Please note, when you use the controller, the unit has 8channels.
When using multiple LED Pinspots, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first LED Pinspot should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second LED
Pinspot should be 1+8=9 (009); the DMX address of the third LED Pinspot should be 9+8=17 (017), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each LED Pinspot
correctly. If two or more LED Pinspots are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all LED Pinspot fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the LED Pinspot will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not.
If not, the problem may be:
●The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the LED Pinspot.
●The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert an XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 20 seconds
When no button is pressed for 20 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press the MODE, SETUP, UP or DOWN button.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and
must not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The LED Pinspot Q4 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light-
output very quickly.
Troubleshooting
No Light
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply, the LEDs, the internal fuse.
01) Power supply. Check if the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LEDs. Return the LED Pinspot to your Showtec dealer.
03) The internal fuse. Return the LED Pinspot to your Showtec dealer.
04) If all appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the LED Pinspot, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
