2 Safety instructions
This device is intended to be used as an electronic illumination effect using LED tech-
nics. The device is designed for professional use and is not suitable for use in house-
holds. Use the device only as described in this user manual. Any other use or use
under other operating conditions is considered to be improper and may result in per-
sonal injury or property damage. No liability will be assumed for damages resulting
from improper use.
This device may be used only by persons with sufficient physical, sensorial, and intel-
lectual abilities and having corresponding knowledge and experience. Other persons
may use this device only if they are supervised or instructed by a person who is
responsible for their safety.
DANGER!

Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and
are not within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the
like) from the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Hazardous voltage
The wiring, as well as all maintenance and repair work on the electrical
installation of the device must only be performed by qualified electrical
personnel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock and risk of fire
and loss of life.
Before starting work on the electrical installation, the device must be
turned volt-free.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present.
Never remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive
persons should avoid looking at strobe lights.
NOTICE!
Risk of fire
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any
direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked flames.
NOTICE!
Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet)
matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is pro-
tected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result
in damage to the device and possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused
for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire.
NOTICE!
Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly
react with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC floor
and after some time cause permanent dark stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the floor, but use
felt-pad floor protectors or a carpet.

3 Features
Special features of the device:
n36 RGBW LEDs (each 15 W)
nStand-alone and DMX mode operation (6 different modes)
nEasy operation via display and buttons on the unit
nBuilt-in automatic show programmes
nAutomatic colour gradients
nMaster / Slave mode
nRugged aluminium housing
nProtection class IP65 allows outdoor operation
nW-DMX module for wireless DMX control
nBarn doors, diffusion filter and two Omega brackets included
nPhoenix® protective vent with GORE® membrane integrated
Equipment with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected
against contact (first code number). They are also protected against splash water
from any angle (second code digit). That is why this equipment can also be used out-
doors. Event technology equipment is generally only designed for temporary use
however (event lighting) and not for permanent use outdoors.
The specified protection class does not make a statement about the weather resist-
ance of the equipment (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against
the effects of sunlight and UV rays).
The seals and screw connections of the equipment must be checked regularly to
ensure a fault-free operation. In cases of doubt, consult a specialist workshop in due
time.

4 Installation
Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the
unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration,
dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or
your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively.
DANGER!
Hazardous voltage
The wiring, as well as all maintenance and repair work on the electrical
installation of the device must only be performed by qualified electrical
personnel. Failure to do so may result in electric shock and risk of fire
and loss of life.
Before starting work on the electrical installation, the device must be
turned volt-free.
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules
that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary
safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).
NOTICE!
Use of stands
When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a
safe and stable position and that the weight of the device does not
exceed the maximum permissible load capacity of the stand.
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not
use ordinary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers
or amplifiers.

The quick lock openings on the housing bottom are used for secure attachment of
the supplied Omega brackets. Here you can attach the flight adapters (such as the
supplied C-hooks). The safety rope must pass through the notches on the bottom
case as shown in the following figure.
You can install the unit in hanging or standing position. When in use, the device must
always be attached to a solid surface or an approved truss.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the
unit. In doing so, the area underneath the unit must be cordoned off.

5 Starting up
Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality
cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping
hazards.
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or
another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the
second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the
last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼W).
When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will con-
trol the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This func-
tion is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of
the master device to the DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX
output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so
on.
Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.
