2. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
PAR-10W-5-B / BW combine all the benets of LED technology with the
portability of battery power and convenience of wireless DMX connection (BW
model only). They are equipped with 5pieces of high brightness and long-life
10W RGBW 4in1 LEDs.
In addition to wired DMX512 control (through the XLR In / Out connectors) and
wireless DMX512 control (only on BW models), the xture can be also con-
trolled from a handy IR remote control.
The PAR-10W-5-B / BW are thus the perfect answer to all those lighting needs
where you do not always have MAINS and DMX connections at hand or
simply do not have time to prepare them, ensuring an operation by up to 5-8
hours depending on the type of use.

Before taking into operation for the rst time, the installation has to be ap-
proved by an expert.
2.3. DMX-512 Connection
The wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the xtures
will not work at all, or will not work properly. Only use a DMX cable, 3-pin XLR
plugs and connectors in order to control with the xture or one xture with
another.

INPUT OUTPUT
If you are using the recommended controllers, you can connect the DMX out-
put of the controller directly with the DMX input of the rst xture in the DMX
chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR output, you need
to use adapter-cables.

ENGLISH
PAR-10W-5-B / BW User manual
Connect the DMX output of the rst xture in the DMX chain with the DMX
input of the next xture. Always connect one output with the input of the next
xture until all xtures are connected.
A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however
errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and there-
fore best practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are
experiencing problems with erratic xture behavior, especially over long signal
cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
DMX Terminator
120ohm, 1/4W
resistor
To build your own DMX Terminator: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and
wire it between pins 2&3 of the last xture. They are also readily available
from specialty retailers.

6.1. IR remote control
PAR-10W-5-B and BW use an IR remote to control the light. It operates within
5m from the xture.
IR Signal Receiver

Remote control
NOTE: Please notice that the remote needs a CR2025 3V Lithium
battery (not included).
Using the remote control does not require any special settings; the only indi-
cation is that the remote control does not operate when the xture is in DMX
mode (and the display shows an “A” followed by the number of current DMX
channel). It is therefore necessary to switch to any other menus (Color, Static
Color, Jump, Strobe, etc.).
