CONTROL CONNECTION (FIG4)
Connect the provided XLR cable to the 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the
male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple moving heads together through
serial linking. The cable needed should be 2-core, screened cable with XLR input and output connec -
tors. Please refer to diagram 4.
DMX512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR
For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy en -
vironment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX termiantor. This helps in
preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminaotr is simply
an XLR plug with a resistor connected between pins 2 and 3 which is then plugged into the output
XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please refer to diagram 4.
INSTALLATION (FIG.3)
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit is firmly
fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure to which you
are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate
safety rope. Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fix -
ture. This fixture may be mounted in any position provided there is adequate room for ventilation.
The LED moving head provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the bottom
of the base, the included ‘omega bracket’ and the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see illus -
tration 3).When mounting this fixture on a truss, be sure to use an appropriate clamp with the in -
cluded omega bracket using a M10 screw fitted through the center hole of the ‘omega bracket’. As
an added safety measure, be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture
using one of the safety cable rigging points integrated in the base assembly.
POWER LINK
Connect an IEC cable from the POWER OUT connector of the 1st unit to the POWER IN connector of
the second unit, etc.
