For safety reasons, please be aware that all modifications on the device are forbidden. If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to short-circuit, burns, electric shock, lamp explosion, crash, etc. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS a) Installing or replacing the lamp CA UTION Only install the lamp with the device unplugged from the mains.
2) Carefully insert the lamp into the socket. Please remember there is only one way to insert the lamp. Gently slide the lamp and its lamp holder back into place. 3) On the access plate there are 3 screws marked 1,2 and 3.which are used to adjust the lamp holder in the lamp housing. You can adjust the 3 screws to fine-turn the position of the lamp to get the maximum light output as shown below.
CA UTION Before taking into operation for the first time, the installation has to be approved by an expert. Cautions: The effect should be installed outside areas where persons may reach it, walk by or be seated. CA UTION When installing the device, make sure there is no highl y inflammable material within a distance of min.
installation via the Omega holders Screw one clamp each via a M12 screw and nut onto the Omega holders. Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the respective holes on the bottom of the device. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. Install the second Omega holder. Pull the safety-rope through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety screw.
DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator 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.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one channel will affect only the selected fixture. In the case of the spot head, which is a 16 channel fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 17 (16+ 1), the third to 33 (17 + 16), and so on. Note: The modes of DMX 512 data and lamp are shown via the display: . .
