 Tempest 575H™   

 

 

                  Operation

1.   Using standard XLR microphone cables, daisy chain your units  
 

together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remem- 

 

ber the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR    

 

connector is the output. For longer cable runs we suggest a    

 

terminator at the last fixture.

2.  Choose a unit to function as the Master and set dipswitch #10   
 

to the “ON” position. Then simply daisy chain the units together  

 

using XLR cables. 

3.   Turn all dipswitches to the “OFF” position on the SLAVE units,  
 

and they will react the same as the MASTER.

4.   Use the sensitivity knob on the side of the master unit to make 
 

it more or less sensative to sound.

5.  The optional

 MINI/C Controller 

may be used to control a black- 

 

out function.

                Trouble Shooting

Fixture Cleaning:

 Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the 

internal and external optical lenses and mirror should be carried out 
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on 
the environment in which the fixture operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, 
dust, dew). In heavy club use we recommend cleaning on a monthly 
basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure longevity, and crisp output.
1.   Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out- 
 

side casing.

2.   Use a brush to wipe down the cooling vents and fan grill.
3.   Clean the external optics and mirror with glass cleaner and a soft  
 

cloth every 20 days.

4.   Clean the internal optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every  
 

30-60 days.

5.  Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit  
 

back in.

Trouble  Shooting:

  Listed  below  are  a  few  common  problems  that 

you may encounter, with solutions.

No light output from the unit;

1.   Be sure you have connected your unit into a standard 120v wall  
 

 outlet.  

2.    Be sure the external breaker has not blown. The breaker is locat- 
 

 ed on the side panel of the unit, next to the AC Cable. 

3.    Remove the lamp cover and be sure the lamp is seated in its    
 

 socket properly. Occasionally lamps become loose during ship- 

 

 ping, be sure the lamp is push in to its socket all the way.

 
Unit does not respond to sound;

1.     Low frequencies (bass) should cause the unit to react to sound.
    Tapping on the microphone, quiet or high pitched sounds may
 

 not activate the unit.  

2.   Be sure the sensitivity knob is not set to the minimum   

 

 

 position (full counter-clockwise).
