DO NOT allow children to operate the fixture.
Use safety chain when fixing the unit. Handle the unit by carrying its base
instead of head only.
The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm
from adjacent surfaces.
Be sure that no ventilation slots is blocked, otherwise the unit will be
overheated.
Before operation, ensure that you are connecting this product to the proper
voltage in accordance with the specifications in this manual or on the product’s
specification label.
It’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to avoid
electric shock.
Minimum ambient temperature TA: 0℃. Maximum ambient temperature TA:
40℃. Do not operate this product at a lower or higher temperature.
DO NOT connect the device to any dimmer pack.
Avoid any flammable liquids, water or metal from entering the unit. Once it
happens, cut off the mains power immediately.
DO NOT operate in a dirty or dusty environment. DO clean the fixture regularly.
DO NOT touch any wire during operation as there might be a hazard of electric
shock.
Avoid entanglement of the power cord with other wires.
The minimum distance to objects/surface must be more than 1 meters.
Disconnect mains power before fuse/lamp replacement or servicing.

Replace fuse/lamp only with the same type.
In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.
Never turn on and off the unit time after time.
The housing, the lenses, or the ultraviolet filter must be replaced if they are
visibly damaged.

malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center
if needed.
Disconnect this product from its power source before servicing.
DO use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.
Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while the product is on.
Never touch bulb with bare fingers, as it is very hot after using.
DO NOT operate this product if you see damage on the housing, shields, or
cables. Have the damaged parts replaced by an authorized technician at once
Installation:
The fixture should be fixed on the clamp. Always ensure that the unit is firmly
fixed to avoid vibration and slipping off during operation. Ensure that the
trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times the weight without
any deformation. Always install a safety cable that can hold at least 12 times
the weight of the fixture when installing.DO install and operate by qualified
operator. It must be installed in a place where there is out of the reach of
people.
2.INSTALLATIONS
installations Note: In order to increase protection, please install the lamp on
the sidewalk, outside the seating area, or an area where unauthorized persons
may touch the lamp
Before installing the fixture on any surface, make sure that the installation area
can bear the minimum point load above 10 points of the weight of the
equipment. The installation of the fixing device must always be fixed with
auxiliary safety accessories (such as a suitable safety rope)
Do not stand directly under the equipment when installing, removing, or
servicing fixtures
From the ceiling or set on a flat surface (see the picture below). Ensure that
this fixture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5 feet) away from any flammable materials
(decorations, etc.)
Be sure to use and install the supplied safety rope to ensure safety and

prevent accidental damage and/or injury in case the fixture is damaged
Installation point: Overhead installation requires a wealth of experience,
including calculation of working load limits, in-depth understanding of the
installation materials used, and regular safety inspections of all installation
materials and fixtures. If you do not have these qualifications, please do not try
to install it yourself. Improper installation can cause personal injury
Before connecting the main power cord to an appropriate wall outlet, make
sure to complete all assembly and installation procedures
Lamp installation: LED shaking head provides a unique mounting bracket
assembly, which integrates the bottom of the base and the fixing point of the
safety cable into one unit (see the figure below). When installing the fixture to
the truss, make sure to use the appropriate tools to fix it on the attached
bracket, and use the M10 screw that passes through the center hole of the
"bracket" to fix it. As an additional safety measure, make sure to use at least
one safety cable integrated in the base assembly to connect at least one
appropriately rated safety cable to the fixture.
3. DMX-512 control connections
Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your
controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head.
You can chain multiple
Moving heads be connected together through serial linking. The cable needed
should be two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors.
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an
electrically noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to
use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control
signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120
Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the
output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below

4.Address code setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX
address from 1 to 512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Settings, press the
ENTER button to confirm, use the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address,
press the ENTER button to confirm, the present address will blink in the display,
use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from 001 to 512, press the
ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or let the
unit idle 30 seconds to exit menu mode.Please refer to the following diagram to
address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.

12.Common malfunctions
For some common faults, corresponding solutions are proposed. Any

problems that cannot be solved should be handled by professionals.
Disconnect the power supply before servicing the light.
After the lamp is reset normally, it does not accept the control of the console
Check whether the digital start address value and function options of the lamps
are correct;
Check whether the connection of the communication control line is correct, the
communication line is too long or has been interrupted;
Check whether the control equipment is invalid, and check whether the signal
amplifier connected in series is invalid;
Check whether the communication line is too long or other devices interfere
with each other;
Optimize wiring, shorten the length of control signal lines, separate
high-voltage and low-voltage lines;
Add a signal amplifier;
The signal line adopts high-quality shielded twisted pair;
Connect a signal terminating resistor (120 ohms) at the end of the fixture.
Lighting does not start
Check whether the parameters of the power supply are consistent with the
lamps;
Check that the lamp has poor contact due to extrusion deformation, vibration
of internal parts, moisture and other reasons during long-distance
transportation.
or fall off.
Please check whether the wire product connector inside the lamp is off or
loose.
Check whether the electronic components of lamps (such as electronic
transformers, PCB boards, motor control boards, etc.) are loose,
short-circuited and burned out.
When working, the X-axis or Y-axis of the lamp does not move properly
Check one by one according to the previous step;
Check whether the transmission belt corresponding to the X and Y axis
directions in the lamp is off and broken;
Check whether the data feedback receiver (optical coupler) corresponding to
the X and Y directions in the lamp is damaged;
Reboot to reset once.
