1. Introduction
Before Using the Product
Important
Read and follow the instructions in this user manual before installing, operating or
servicing this product.
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of
this manual.
After unpacking, check the contents of the box. If any parts are missing or damaged, contact your
Highlite International dealer.
Your shipment includes:
●Showtec Performer Pendant 75 Q6
●1 x safety cable

●User manual
Fig. 01
Intended Use
This device is intended for professional use as a theater spot and is suitable for fixed indoor installation
only. This device is not suitable for households and for general lighting.
Any other use, not mentioned under intended use, is regarded as non-intended and incorrect use.
Product Lifespan
This device is not designed for permanent operation. Disconnect the device from the electrical power
supply when the device is not in operation. This will reduce the wear and will improve the device’s
lifespan.
LEDs Lifespan
The light output of the LEDs gradually decreases over time (lumen depreciation). High operating
temperatures contribute to this process. You can extend the lifespan of the LEDs by providing adequate
ventilation and operating the LEDs at the lowest possible brightness.
Text Conventions
Throughout the user manual the following text conventions are used:
●Buttons: All buttons are in bold lettering, for example “Press the UP/DOWN buttons”
●References: References to chapters and parts of the device are in bold lettering, for example:
“Refer to 2. Safety”, “turn the adjustment handle (05)”
●0–255: Defines a range of values
●Notes: Note: (in bold lettering) is followed by useful information or tips

Rigging
The device can be mounted to a truss or other rigging structure in any orientation, as shown in Fig. 09.
Make sure that all loads are within the pre-determined limits of the supporting structure.
CAUTION
Restrict the access under the work area during rigging and/or derigging.
To mount the device, follow the steps below:
01) Use a clamp to attach the device to the supporting structure, as shown in Fig. 09. Make sure that the
device cannot move freely.
02) Secure the device with a secondary suspension, for example a safety cable. Make sure that the
secondary suspension can hold 10 times the weight of the device. If possible, the secondary
suspension should be attached to a supporting structure independent of the primary suspension. Put
the safety cable through the safety eye (06), as shown in Fig. 09. You can use the safety cable
supplied with the device.

Connecting to Power Supply
DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
The device is supplied with a power cord without a plug. The device is suitable for direct connection to
the mains supply. Connection of the device to the mains supply must be carried out only by skilled or
instructed persons.
The device accepts AC mains power at 100–240 V and 50/60 Hz. Do not supply mains power at any other
voltage or frequency to the device.
This device falls under IEC protection class I. Make sure that the device is always electrically connected
to the ground (earth).
Fig. 11
●Before connecting the device to the mains supply, make sure that the power supply matches the
input voltage specified on the information label on the device.
●Make sure that the conductors are connected correctly.
●Do not connect the device to a dimmer circuit, as this may damage the device.

Power Linking of Multiple Devices
This device supports power linking. Power can be relayed to another device via the power OUT
connector. Note that the input and the output connectors have different designs: one type cannot be
connected to the other.
Power linking of multiple devices must be carried out only by instructed or skilled persons.
WARNING
Incorrect power linking may lead to overload of the electrical circuit and result in serious
injuries and damage of property.
To prevent overload of the electrical circuit, when power linking multiple devices:
●Use cables with sufficient current-carrying capacity. The power cable supplied with the device is not
suitable for power linking of multiple devices.
●Make sure that the total current draw of the device and all connected devices does not exceed the
rated capacity of the power cables and the circuit breaker.
●Do not link more devices on one power link than the maximum recommended number.
Maximum recommended number of devices:
●at 100–120 V: 12 devices Performer Pendant 75 Q6
●at 200–240 V: 25 devices Performer Pendant 75 Q6

5. Setup
Warnings and Precautions
DANGER
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Attention
Connect all data cables before supplying power.
Disconnect power supply before connecting or disconnecting data cables.
DMX Connection
DMX-512 Protocol
You need a DMX serial data link to run light shows of one or more devices using a DMX-512 controller or
to run synchronized shows of two or more devices set in a master/slave operating mode.
The Performer Pendant 75 Q6 has 5-pin DMX signal IN and OUT connectors.
The pin assignment is as follows:
●5-pin: pin 1 (ground), pin 2 (-), pin 3 (+), pin 4 (N/C), pin 5 (N/C)
Devices on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. The number of devices that you can
control on one data link is limited by the combined number of the DMX channels of the connected
devices and the 512 channels available in one DMX universe.
To comply with the TIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link.
In order to connect more than 32 devices on one data link, you must use a DMX optically isolated
splitter/booster, otherwise this may result in deterioration of the DMX signal.
Note:
●Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 300 m
●Maximum recommended number of devices on a DMX data link: 32 devices
DMX Cables
Shielded twisted-pair cables with 5-pin XLR connectors must be used for reliable DMX connection. You
can purchase DMX cables directly from your Highlite International dealer or make your own cables.
If you use 3-pin XLR audio cables for DMX data transmission, this may lead to signal degradation and
unreliable operation of the DMX network.
When you make your own DMX cables, make sure that you connect the pins and wires correctly as
shown in Fig. 12.

19
Performer Pendant 75 Q6
Product code: 33149
Fig. 12
DMX Linking
To connect multiple devices on one DMX data link, follow the steps below:
Use a 5-pin DMX cable to connect the DMX OUT connector of the lighting controller to the DMX IN
connector of the first device.
02) Connect the first device’s DMX OUT connector to the second device’s DMX IN connector with a
5-pin DMX cable.
03) Repeat step 2 to connect all devices in a daisy-chain as shown in Fig. 13.
04) Connect a DMX terminator (120 Ω resistor) to the DMX OUT connector of the last device on the data
link.
