yThe unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from adjacent
surfaces.
yBe sure that no ventilation slots are blocked, otherwise the unit will be overheated.
yBefore operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the power
requirements of the unit.
yIt’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to avoid electric shock.
yMaximum ambient temperature TA: 40 . Don’t operate it where the temperature is higher than this.℃
yDon’t connect the device to any dimmer pack.
yFirst run, there will be smoke or smells, and all disappearing a few minutes later.
yMake sure there are no flammable materials close to the unit while operating, as it is fire hazard.
yLook over power wires carefully, replace immediately if there is any damage.
yUnit surface temperature may reach up to 60 . Don’t touch the housing bare℃-hand during its
operation.
yNever run on for a long time lest shortening lifespan.
yAvoid any inflammable liquids, water or metal objects entering the unit. Once it happen, cut off the
mains power immediately.
yDo not operate in dirty and dusty environment, also cleaning fixtures regularly.
yDo not allow children to operate the fixture.
yDo not touch any wire during operation as there might be a hazard of electric shock.
yAvoid power wires together arounding other cables.
yReplace fuse only with the same type.
yIn the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately.
yNever turn on and off the unit time after time.
Please read the instructions carefully which includes important
information about the installation, operation and maintenance.

3-
yThe housing, the lenses, or the ultraviolet filter must be replaced if they are visibly damaged.
yDo not open the unit as there are no user serviceable parts inside. Never try to repair the unit by
yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact
the nearest authorized technical assistance center.
yDisconnect the mains power if the fixture is not used for a long time.
yDo use original packing materials once transport it again.
yTo prevent or reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the unit to rain or moisture.
yDo not look directly at the LED light beam while the fixture is on.
Installation
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket.Always ensure that the unit is firmly
fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you are
attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight.Also always
use a safety cable that can hold 12 times of the weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a place where is out of the touch
of people and has no one pass by or under it.

3. How TO Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in two ways：
1. By DMX controller
2. By VD-T
VD-T is a specially designed handy setup tool for all Visio integral fixtures and Controllers. By
connecting VD-T to any fixture via XLR, you can easily setup DMXAddress, Channel Modes, White
Balance, Manual Colors, and Fade Speed functions.

3.1 DMX Controller
Use universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to 512 channel
so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units：
3 Channels：
4 Channels：
6 Channels：

3.2 DMX 512 Configuration

6-
3.3 DMX512connections
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter-cable.
2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 ohm 1/4W resistor
between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the
last unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the input of
the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very high-speed
signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the
signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when one of
the units’ power is disconnected.
5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The
address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin 4/Pin 5: Not used.

4. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and DMX
polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the unit or
the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may cause damage
or interference to DMX interface circuit.
5. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency
depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding
can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.
yClean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
yAlways dry the parts carefully.
yClean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
