DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ 6. MOUNTING AND INSTALLATION Yoke Assembly – Single Unit Operation The device can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged in any orientation on a truss without altering its operation characteristics. When connecting the hanging yoke to the fixture, refer to the illustration below. Yoke Assembly – Multiple Unit Operation You can connect up to four Design LED Tri Bricks together in a bar assembly.
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ Please note: To ensure maximum stability, no more than for units should be mounted together in this fashion. Connecting more than four units will result in an unstable assembly, which could collapse and damage the units. Cautions: For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, and away from areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personal.

Mounting The Design LED Tri Brick™ is fully operational in any mounting position, hanging upside-down from a ceiling, side mounted, or set on a flat level surface, etc. Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.). When clamp mounting; always use and install the supplied safety cable as an added safety measure to prevent accidental damage in the event of a clamp failure. See the image below.
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ units to rigged together (see the illustration below). Regardless of the mounting option you choose please refer to the safety guidelines in this manual to avoid damage to the unit and/or injury to persons. When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the hanging yoke using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the hanging yoke. As an added safety measure be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture.
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ Securing the Design LED Tri Brick™ Always be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable when suspending the unit from truss or other means.

DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ 7. UNDERSTANDING DMX DMX-512: DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used by lighting and controller manufactures as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. DMX allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as long as all the fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ Be sure to follow the above figure when making your own cables. Do not use the ground lug on the XLR connector. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behavior.
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator A DMX terminator should be used in all DMX lines especially in longer runs. The use of a terminator may avoid erratic behavior in your DMX line. A terminator is a 120 ohm 1/4 watt resistor that is connected between pins 2 and 3 of a male XLR connector (DATA + and DATA -). This fixture is inserted in the female XLR connector of the last fixture in your daisy chain to terminate the line.
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ channel number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the digital display located on the back of the fixture. You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different address for each individual fixture.
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ 8. DISPLAY LED INDICATORS. The Design LED 36 TriBrick has two LED indicators on the display. These indicators are designed to give a quick visual indication of the fixtures’ status. The illustration below details the functionality of the LED indicators. . . DMX OK . .

DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ 11. LENS REPLACEMENT The Design LED Tri Brick comes with a removable front cover that allows lens assembly to be changed out to achieve different beam angles. The lens cover is held in place by two ¼ turn locking fasteners. To remove the cover; 1) Turn the locking fasteners in a counter-clockwise direction. 2) Once the fasteners are loose lift the cover straight up to access the four individual lenses (see first illustration below).
DESIGN LED 36 TRIBRICK™ 12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE Consider the following points during normal service and inspection: 1. Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose screws may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury as larger parts could fall. 2. Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediments.
