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 thumbscrews on lamp/fan door cover located on top side of unit. 
 - 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. To prevent shortened lamp life, be careful not to touch the bulb itself with
    your fingers, just the glass reflector housing around the bulb.
 - Reinstall the 2 thumbscrews onto lamp/fan 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 the attaching point located on top side of unit near front 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) Master/Slave Music mode


 - Be sure AC power to all units is off before continuing.

 - Daisy chain your units via the XLR conductors on rear side of units.  Remember that the Male XLR connector is the input
   and the Female conductor is the output.

 - The first unit is the Master and will use the Female XLR connector only and the last unit in the chain will use the
   Male XLR connector only.

 - Set Master Unit dipswitch #10 on only, all others off.  All other Slave units set dipswitch #1 on only, and all others off.
 - Be sure only the Master unit has dipswitch #10 on, and not any of the Slaves to prevent damage to units!!!
 - Plug units into AC power source.

 - Units will run in sync via sound being picked up by the microphone in the unit.
 - The RED LED located near dipswitch will pulsate to audio beats on Master Unit only indicating audio signal being
   detected and flash constantly on Slave Units indicating the unit is receiving signal.
 - See Master/Slave dipswitch chart section #8 for settings.

 

6) DMX Controller Mode

 - The units use 4 DMX channels to operate
 - DMX Ch. 1 = color wheel
 - DMX Ch. 2 = gobo wheel
 - DMX Ch. 3 = mirror rotation and speed
 - DMX Ch. 4 = dimmer
 - RED LED located near dipswitch will flash constantly when receiving 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 a preset value.  A specific DMX address is set by combining the dip switches that sum up to 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
