User Instructions

1) Unpacking unit

Unpack unit carefully, and inspect unit for any damage or missing pieces.  Items included are:

1pc...light fixture
1pc…lamp
1pc…ac power cord
1pc…XLR/XLR cable
1pc…owner’s manual
1pc...safety cable
 

2) Lamp Installation

 - Be sure AC power to unit is disconnected before continuing.
 - Unscrew the 2 piece thumbscrews located on rear lamp plate cover. 
 - Insert lamp into lamp socket, be sure lamp is fully seated into lamp socket.  Insert lamp assembly
   into side clips located on metal plate in unit.  Be careful not to touch the actual bulb itself with your
   fingers, just the glass reflector housing around the bulb, to prevent shortened lamp life. 
   If you do actually touch the lamp you must clean the lamp with isopropyl alcohol and let dry.
 - Reinstall the 2 piece thumbscrews located on rear lamp plate cover.


3) Hanging unit and placing of the unit

 - Attach a heavy duty clamp (not included) to mounting bracket and tighten all hardware. 
 - Attach a safety cable (included) to mounting bracket of unit and a secure point to where you plan on
   hanging the fixture from such as truss, lighting stand, etc.  Be sure these hanging locations can
   handle the weight of the fixture.
 - Use unit in a dry, indoor location only.
 - Keep minimum distance of at least 12” – 18” around unit for proper airflow operation.  Do not block the air flow to the fan.
 - Keep unit away from flammable objects such as curtains, drapes, etc.


 4) Data Cable (DMX cable) Requirements

This fixture requires a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input and data output.  Be sure cable is a 2 conductor shielded type
construction.  Also, be sure that the cable shield is not connected to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact
with the XLR’s outer casing.  Grounding the shield will cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.  Also remember that DMX cable must
be daisy chained and cannot be “Y” split.


 


5) Lamp Optimization


 After installing a new lamp in the fixture, you must optimize the lamp for maximum output intensity.  Using a dmx controller, set unit for a full open beam in white shining on a wall or floor area.  Slowly adjust the 3 phillips screws located on the rear lamp access cover plate (in a triangle pattern) until you achieve the maximum full intensity across the open white beam.  Be careful not to back out the screws too far as this will cause the adjusting springs to fall inside the unit.


6) DMX Controller Mode

 - The units use 5 DMX channels to operate
 - DMX Ch. 1 = color wheel
 - DMX Ch. 2 = gobo wheel
 - DMX Ch. 3 = dimmer and strobe
 - DMX Ch. 4 = pan
 - DMX Ch. 5 = tilt
 - GREEN DMX LED located near dipswitch will be lit when receiving a DMX signal.


7) Dipswitches in DMX mode
 

This unit uses dip switches to assign a DMX address.  East dip switch represents a binary value.
 
Dipswitch 1=1    Dipswitch 4=8    Dipswitch 7=64
Dipswitch 2=2    Dipswitch 5=16  Dipswitch 8=128
Dipswitch 3=4    Dipswitch 6=32  Dipswitch 9=256


 

Each dip switch has preset value.  A specific DMX address is set by combining the dip switch that sum up your desired value.

For example, to achieve a DMX address of 22, you must combine dip switches 2, 3 and 5.  Since dipswitch 2 has a value of 2, dip switch 3 has a value of 4 and dip switch 5 has a value of 16.  The total sum of them create a DMX value of 22. 
 

Set DMX address 22 Set DMX address 101
Dip switches on #2=2 Dipswitches on #7=65
Dipswitches on #3=4 Dipswitches on 6=32
Dipswitches on #5=16 Dipswitches on #4=4
Total = 22 Total = 101

9) Cleaning

  - Keep the unit clean.  Disconnect the unit from AC power source.

  - Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.

  - Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.

  - Clean the lens and mirrors with glass cleaner and soft rag.
 - Be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back into AC power source.
