Starting up 5 Starting up Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards. Connections in DMX mode Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain.
Starting up DMX indicator As long as the display is active, the first digit is used as a DMX indicator. If the unit is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is connected and turned on, the first digit of the display will flash. If the unit is in DMX mode, but without a turned on DMX controller con‐ nected, the first digit of the display will light constantly.

Plug and connection assignments 9 Plug and connection assignments Introduction This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ ment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Troubleshooting 10 Troubleshooting NOTICE! Possible data transmission errors For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐ nary microphone cables. Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐ fiers. In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation.
Troubleshooting Symptom Remedy The unit does not work, no light, the display is dark Check the mains connection and the main fuse. Apparently no function despite proper power supply Check if the unit is in DMX mode or in ‘slave’ mode. If so, check the unit in another mode. No response to the DMX con‐ troller 1. If the unit is in DMX mode and the first digit of the dis‐ play flashes, no DMX signal is received. Check that the DMX controller is switched on.
Troubleshooting If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
Cleaning 11 Cleaning Optical lenses Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the device. n Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no. 280122). n Always dry the parts carefully.
