1. Introduction
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The Solaris Mozart is an extremely versatile and creative pixel-mapping and decorative lighting tool that can
be placed almost anywhere. Blazing fast (38,400Hz), with Cree™LEDs, Mozarts are ideal for high-speed
photography and video. Modes include 1, 4, or 16 pixels (3 to 48 DMX channels) per fixture.
The 10-way power supply in a rugged ProPlex Mini enclosure is designed for portable use or truss-mounting
with yoke included. Coming soon is the 40-way 2U RackMount power supply which supports DMX, RDM,
ArtNet, and sACN protocols. It features a large front-panel touchscreen, and a dedicated PC configuration
utility.

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS
Upon receipt of the fixture, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are
present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if
any parts appear to be damaged from shipping or if the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the
carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that
the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
POWER REQUIREMENTS
Before powering the unit, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture
accommodates 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. All fixtures must be powered directly from a switched circuit and
cannot be operated with a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used solely for a 0-100% switch.
When powered up, Solaris performs a preprogrammed internal test. On initial power-up the factory default
DMX address appears on the display screen and Solaris is ready for operation. After initial power-up, the
last-saved DMX address will appear.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
•Please keep this User Guide for future reference. If unit is sold to another user, make sure they also
receive this instruction booklet.

fuse. To replace fuse:
1. With a screwdriver turn the fuse cap counter-clockwise to remove fuse cap with fuse.
2. Replace fuse attached to fuse cap.
3. Reinsert fuse cap with new fuse and tighten clockwise.
MOUNTING/RIGGING –MZ10 PSU 10-WAY,MINI ENCLOSURE
Orientation
The Mozart MZ10 PSU 10-way may be mounted on truss or pipe, in any position, using the yoke supplied
with the unit. Always make sure there is adequate room for ventilation.
Rigging – Always consult a certified rigging engineer before suspending any fixture
overhead!
Use ProBurger®couplers or equivalent C- or O-type clamps for attaching to truss. After
establishing the desired position, retighten both knobs.
•Always use safety cables!
•When selecting installation location, consider routine maintenance.
•Never mount Mini enclosure where it will be exposed to moisture, high humidity,
extreme temperatures, or restricted ventilation.
Disconnect the power cord before replacing a

2. Setup
A DMX data link is needed to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 lighting
console. The combined number of channels required by all of the fixtures on the DMX data link will
determine the number of fixtures the DMX data link can support.
Important: Fixtures on a DMX data link must be daisy-chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more
than 32 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 between fixtures: 300 meters (984 ft.)
DMX CONNECTOR CONFIGURATION FOR MOZART 10-WAY PSU
Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis
ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your
fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an ohm meter to verify
correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted
to the shield or each other.

SETTING UP A DMX SERIAL LINK
1. Connect the (male) 5-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 5-pin connector of the
DMX console.
2. Connect the opposite end of the cable (female) to the input connector of the Mozart PSU consisting of a
(male) 5-pin connector.
3. Proceed to connect from the PSU output as stated above to the input of the following PSU and so on.
4. Continue linking until the last fixture is conected in your DMX chain.

RDM
Using RDM you also have an option to locate the device. This will force selected Mozart to strobe its
sequence number in white.
SENSORS
Mozart has 3 sensors:
•Temperature sensor
•Bus current sensor
•Main voltage sensor
Bus current and main voltage values can be seen only using RDM compliant lighting control device (for
example, ProPlex®MasterFade).
To see current temperature of Mozart, press "Address set" button located at the back of fixture.
If Mozarts temperature is below or equal 40°C (104°F), one green pixel (4 LEDs) will appear as shown:
Mozart’s temperature is indicated by the number of illuminated pixels: i.e., one pixel equals 2.5°C increase.
In addition, as Mozart’s temperature increases, more red pixels are illuminated. At 60°C (140°F) the fixture
is prompted to slowly decrease the LEDs’ output intensity to reduce the temperature of fixture.
For example, the diagram below shows the current temperature of a Mozart that is 60°C (40°C base pixel
and 8 additional pixels):

GENERAL MAINTENANCE
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and
environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be
cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to disconnect
power to the fixture before conducting maintenance.
Unplug fixture from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild
solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply solution to
the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical surfaces until they
are free of haze and lint.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean
with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Always dry the parts carefully. Clean the external optics
at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30 to 60 days.
