The Gobo Accessory Slot allows for the insertion
of a gobo pattern to project. When not used, a
cover can be slid and fixed by two screws to
prevent light spillage from the fixture. The gobo
holder features a hole to attach an optional safety
cable to it.
This gobo holder accepts a metal gobo, with an
outer diameter of 31.3mm and a maximum image
area diameter of 23.9mm.
Basic Setup Wiring Diagrams
There are two basic ways to use the fixture. One is in standalone, which does not require the
use of any data lines to be connected nor any controller, each fixture would operate
independently based solely on the menu setting. The second method, is to use DMX512 control.
This second method requires the fixtures to be wired together via the DMX DATA in and out
cables. This allows the units to receive data either from the master unit or the DMX controller.
Data wiring is explained in more detail in the DMX Data Connection section of this manual.

DMX-512 Control
Fixtures require a "Start Address" from 1 to 512, setting the first DMX channel containing data
for the fixture (see DMX Background). Before addressing fixtures, consult the manual of the
system’s DMX controller to select a desirable addressing scheme. Valid Start Addresses range
from 1 to 512. Fixtures requiring more than one channel for control will read subsequent
channels up to the total number of channels required. Since this fixture requires a maximum of
10 channels of DMX, if set to a Start Address of 11 it would use data from channels: 11, 12, 13,
14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, and 20. Choose a Start Address so the channels used do not overlap
with other fixtures. In some cases, it may be desirable to set two or more same type fixtures to
the same Start Address. In this case, the fixtures will be slaved together and respond to the
same data. Because all fixtures see the same data, fixtures may be set to any address without
concern for the order they are connected by the DMX cables.
DMX Data Connection
This fixture uses XLR type connectors. Use shielded twisted pair cable approved for EIA-
422/EIA485 use. Fixtures are connected in Daisy Chain topography: Connection is
made from the controller to the DMX-IN of the first light, then from the DMX-OUT to the
DMX-IN of the next light and so on. Only one data source can be on a chain and no
branching is allowed. The physical order in which the fixtures are connected is not
important, use the most convenient.
Data Terminator
A Data Terminator can be purchased to connect to the DMX-OUT of the last fixture to
reduce the effects of signal noise. To make a Terminator, connect a 120-ohm ¼ watt
resistor across pin 2, Data Negative (S-) and pin 3, Data positive (S+). A qualified
technician can determine if a Data Terminator is required.

Adapters for 3 or 5 pin XLR
Systems using a mix of 3 and 5 pin XLR DMX interfaces can be accommodated by
purchasing adapters or building adapter cables. Numbers designating each pin can be
found on connectors. Converting between the two XLR types is done pin-to-pin. Shield
wire connects to pin 1, then connect pin 2 to pin 2 and pin 3 to pin 3, regardless of either
connector’s gender or pin count. No connection is made to Pins 4 & 5.
DMX Start Address
More than one fixture may have the same start address, but they will behave the same.
Giving a unique start address that does not overlap with any other units allows you to
individually control that fixture’s features fully. Never allow channels to overlap. This
fixture features a 3 channel DMX mode. This will determine the spacing of channels you
will need to avoid overlapping of channels when selecting your start addresses.
Example Select Start Addresses for 4 fixtures each requiring 3 channels of DMX.
For this example, start with the first unit set to the first possible Start Address = 1.
This fixture occupies 3 DMX channels 1 thru 3.
The next DMX channel available for a Start Address is found by adding the previous fixture’s
Start Address to its channel requirement: 1+3=4. To maximize channel usage leave no empty
channels between fixtures, so the second Start Address is set to DMX channel 4 and that fixture
occupies channels 4 thru 6.
The third fixture will be addressed 4+3=7 and occupy channels 7 thru 9.
The last fixture is addressed 7+3=10 and will occupy channels 10 thru 12.
Thus, 4 fixtures using 3 channels each have Start Addresses of 1, 4, 7 and 10, leaving the next
free channel in the system is 10+3=13.

Maintenance
Make sure fixture is cool and disconnected from power mains before any service.
Weekly operating hours and environmental conditions will establish how often the fixtures need
cleaning. Fixtures should be cleaned and inspected at least once a month to maintain optimum
performance. Accumulation of dust and fog residue increases heat build up, can lead to
malfunctions, overheating and reduction in maximum light output, reduced fixture life and over
all performance. Before conducting any maintenance, disconnect fixture from power mains.
1) Disconnect fixture from power mains.
2) Use a vacuum with a soft brush to remove dust collected on external vents and internal
components. If using an air compressor, use low pressures and extreme care to
prevent damaging any internal parts or effects.
4) Clean all optical elements when the fixture is cold. Use a soft lint free cotton cloth or tissue
and cleaner safe for plastics.
5) Inspect clamps and safety cables to ensure fixture is secure and safe.
Troubleshooting
Diagnostic technique for DMX issues: Set suspect fixture’s Start Address the same as a correctly
functioning fixture. If both units then function correctly, issue is programming.
Symptom Possible Cause / Solution
No Power Check for power on mains
Check power cord inserted correctly
Erratic / No response to DMX Check data cables: connection and proper wiring
Check Display, fixture in DMX512 Mode
Verify Start Address of Fixture
Incorrectly responds to DMX Check for overlapping addresses
Check Fixture Channel Mode
Check Menu settings
Cycle Power and Retest
No Output or Image Partially Obstructed Check Framing Shutter positions and Gobo
Image is Backwards Check Gobo Orientation in GOBO Holder

DMX-512 Background
DMX-512 is a digital data transmission standard developed by the United States Institute for Theater Technology
(USITT). It is designed to enable control of lighting equipment. DMX deals solely with the formatting of data for
transmission and does not dictate how the data is created or used.
Under DMX, signals are transmitted in much the same way a computer modem transmits data. The Data, divided
into channels, is "Framed" using a start bit, high (1), eight data bits and finally, two stop bits, both high (1). DMX
uses no parity to check the integrity of the signal. Instead, DMX relies on the ultra low probability of an error
occurring in the same place when the data is resent. The rate at which data is sent is fixed at 250k bps, almost
four and a half times faster that a 56k modem. This speed allows all data on a DMX chain to be updated more
than 44 times every second.
The transmitted data follows a specific format. DMX allows for 512 channels each with eight data bits, giving each
channel the possibility of 256 values. When a data "Packet" is sent, all channels are transmitted one after another.
Even if the data on a specific channel has not been changed, it must be sent. In a packet, a "start code" of all
zeros is sent before the data to identify the signal as a Standard DMX transmission. This start code is transparent
to the user and is handled by the controller.
The physical signals are transmitted using a twisted pair of wires and a common shield, a configuration called
Balanced. The controller and all receiving equipment are connected using a “Daisy Chain" connection. The signal
is jumped from the controller to a piece of DMX equipment. From there, the signal is jumped to the next piece of
equipment and so on until the last piece of equipment is connected. No branches are allowed and the signal does
not come back to the controller. The final piece of equipment will have only one cable connection. As a result, all
equipment connected to the chain will see exactly the same signal whether it is first or last. When connecting
equipment, no particular attention needs to be paid to the order in which the equipment is connected. Depending
on the conditions and equipment, a line terminator may be required. If there is any question, in most circumstances
the addition of a terminator will not degrade the signal. To make a terminator, attach a 120-ohm resistor between
the Signal Data Negative and Signal Data Positive pins of a connector in the last piece of equipment in the chain.
The DMX Standard uses 5 pin XLR connectors. However, it is common to see
fixtures with 3 pin XLR connectors as these types of balanced or “Lo-Z” cables
are common in the audio industry. In either case, pin numbers are the same
and carry the same signals.
