of three gobos wheels, one color wheel with CTO, CTW and CMY lters, and two prisms
make easy to play with color palette and eects, to satisfy even the most demanding
light designers. The 3.7 “touch-screen display and the front USB port allow the machine
to be quickly set up, even when the unit is switched o. The set consists of two moving
heads and a ight case with front doors and hook space, to facilitate the installation on
stage especially in live contexts.

4. MAINS CONNECTIONS
Connect the device to the mains with the supplied power cable. Please note that power
voltage and frequency are the same as the marked voltage and frequency of device
when connecting power. Wire correspondence is as follows:
Cable (EU) Pin International
Brown Live L
Blue Neutral N
Yellow/Green Earth
The earth must to be connected! Pay attention to the safety! Before taking
into operation for the rst time, the installation has to be approved by an
expert.
5. DMX CONNECTION
DMX xtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain
connection is where the DATA OUT of one xture connects to the DATA IN of the next
xture. The order in which the xtures are connected is not important and has no eect
on how a controller communicates to each xture. Use an order that provides for the
easiest and most direct cabling.

Pin 1: GND
Pin 2: DMX -
Pin 3: DMX +

female connectors. The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-), and
pin 3 is Data positive (S+).
CAUTION: Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the
xtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
5.1. DMX Terminator
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur.
In order to prevent electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control
signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last xture in the chain to a DMX
terminator, especially over long signal cable runs.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm), 1/4 Watt resistor
connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respectively, pins 2 and 3, which is then
plugged into the output socket on last projector in the chain. The connections are
illustrated below.
120ohm, 1/4
W
Resistor
DMX Terminator
Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit xtures at most.
Signal amplier is a must to connect more xtures.
5.2.3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables
DMX connection protocols used by controllers and xtures manufacturers are not stan-
dardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards: 5-Pin XLR
and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect MOOD 185 WASH to a 5-Pin XLR input
xture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself.

6. INSTALLATION
Pay attention to safety! Please respectively consider the EN 60598-2-17 and
the national standard during the installation. The authorized dealer must
only carry out the installation.
The installation of the xture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold
10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming demolition. The installation must
always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net.
This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the
installation can fall down if the main attachment fails.
When rigging, de-rigging or servicing the xture staying in the area below the instal-
lation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is
forbidden. The operator has to make sure that the safety measure and the machine’s
technical installation is approved by an expert before taking into operation for the rst
time and after changes before taking into operation anther time. He has also to make
sure that an expert approves safety measure and the machine’s technical installation
once a years.
WARNING: The xture should be installed outside areas where persons may
walk by or be seated.
IMPORTANT: Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including (but
not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being
used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the pro-
jector. If you lack these qualications, do not attempt the installation your-
self, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can
result in bodily injury or property loss.
If the xture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing
systems have to be used. The xture must never be xed swinging freely in the room.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of
10 times the projector’s weight.
CAUTION: Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashing down. If you have
doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the
xture!
CAUTION: Use two appropriate clamps to rig the xture on the truss. Follow
the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base. Make sure that the
device is xed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are
attaching the xtures is secure.
DANGER OF FIRE! When installing the device, make sure there is no highly
inammable material (decoration articles, etc.) within a distance of minimum
0.5 meter.

fUse clamps suitable for the section of the truss on which you want to x the mov-
ing head.
fInsert the screw in the central hole of the bracket n.2, and tighten the nut supplied
with the clamp (and any washers always supplied with the clamp).
fPlace the plugs with wings n.3 in the direction of the holes n.5 placed under the
base of the moving head. Screw them clockwise for about 90°, until you hear a click
that indicates the achievement of the correct and safe position.
fHook the moving head to the truss through the two clamps now perfectly xed to
the base, and screw the wing-screw n.4 so as to tighten the moving head and avoid
as much as possible vibrations during the use of the xture.
fFor overhead use, always install a safety rope that can hold at least 10 times the
weight of the xture. Hook the safety cable to the hole n.6 located under the base
of the moving head.

5) M/S CHOOSE
This option gives the possibility to set the device as Master or Slave. Obviously to make
this setting it is necessary to have 2 or more devices available. Set one of the machines
as “Master”, select one of the automatic modes (Auto Run, Sound Ctrl, Scene Mode),
set the other machine as the Slave. The “Slave” machine must have the DMX address
set to 001 to be connected to the DMX signal of the “Master” machine. At this time, the
slave machine accepts the host control, and the functions are synchronized with the
current function. The “M/S Choose” option allows three settings: Master, Slave or Auto.
By using the Auto setting, if there is no signal from DMX, the xture will operate by
built-in program; otherwise, the xture will operate by DMX signal. To select one of the
three settings, touch the display screen at “M/S Choose”.
