3. SETUP AC Power This fixture runs on 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz. Before powering on the unit, make sure the line voltage to which you are connecting it is within the range of accepted voltages. Always connect the fixture to a switched circuit. Never connect the fixture to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used only as a 0 to 100% switch.
Mounting Orientation The LED PAR 38-18UVB may be mounted in any safe position provided there is adequate room for ventilation. Rigging Be sure that the structure can support the weight of the fixture. Please see the “Technical Specifications” section of this manual for a detailed weight listing. Mount the fixture securely. This may be done with a screw, nut and bolt, or a hanging clamp. The hole in each bracket is 13 mm in size. When rigging consider routine maintenance and control panel access.
4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Configuring the Starting Address Each fixture requires a starting address from 1~512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the starting address. For example, a fixture that uses seven DMX channels and is addressed to start on DMX channel 100, will read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104, 105 and 106. Choose the starting addresses for each fixture so that the channels used do not overlap.
DMX Operation This is the operating mode which will allow for control with an external DMX controller. You must set the starting address for this mode. If this is your first time using DMX, then it is recommended that you refer to the “DMX Primer” section in the “Appendix” of this manual. 1. 2. 3. 4. Press
Custom Static Intensity This fixture has the ability to accept custom static intensity. This is accessed via the control panel. Please see the instructions below for further explanation. 1. 2. 3. Press
5. APPENDIX General Maintenance To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off fixture before conducting maintenance. • Unplug fixture from power.
DMX Data Cable Use a Belden© 9841 or equivalent cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances.
General Troubleshooting SYMPTOM Breaker/Fuse keeps blowing Device does not power up Fixture is not responding to DMX Loss of signal POSSIBLE CAUSE(S) POSSIBLE ACTION(S) • Excessive circuit load • Check total load placed on the electrical circuit. • Short circuit along the power wires • Check for a short in the electrical wiring (internal and/or external). • No power • Check for power on Mains.
