LED Lifetime advice

 

 

LED lifetime is determined by the gradually declining brightness of a LED over time, 

with a point of 50% brightness reduction marking the defined end of its lifetime. The 

driving factor of this effect is the heat that the chip inside the LED is exposed to. While 

a chip may under ideal circumstances reach to more than 100000 hours of lifetime, the 

real-world lifetime may only be 30000 to 50000 hours or less if the LED is exposed to 

excessive heat, which can be caused by continuously running all LEDs inside this 

device at full power and operating the unit in high environmental temperatures. If 

improving the lifespan expectancy is a priority, take care of providing for lower 

operational temperatures. This may include forced external cooling and/or the reduction 

of overall projection intensity.

Unpacking

 

 

Please check that the box contains the following items, and contact your dealer 

immediately for replacement if any part is missing:

1 pc. operation manual 

 

■ 

Getting started: changing the connectors (only if required)

 

 

Your MULTISPOT-GII-HS3045/HT3030 has been factory-fitted with connectors for both 

AC In/out and DMX In/Out. This configuration can be changed with comparatively little 

effort into an IP65-compliant outdoor version, with PG9 cable glands to hold all 

connection cables in a waterproof manner.  

 

Reliability risk:

 Changing the connectors in an inappropriate manner 

may defeat the waterproof capabilities of the fixture and may void any 

warranty of the manufacturer if water intrudes into the unit. It is 

essential to follow the below instructions to maintain the waterproof 

capabilities of the fixture and its product warranty subsequently.  

 

 

 

 

 

Safety risk:

 This procedure requires to open the unit. In case of 

unintended connection to AC supply, life parts may be exposed and 

touchable. In case of wrong internal wiring, the safety of the whole 

installation where this unit is used may be endangered and a risk of fire 

is possible. This procedure shall hence only be carried out by qualified 

technicians with relevant experience in safe work methods for electrical 

equipment service and maintenance. DO NOT attempt to change the 

connectors by yourself if you do not have the applicable experience. 

The manufacturer does not take any liability for life and assets if such 

unqualified attempt is made.

Once the speed level is set and no changes done the display will return to show 

“FP0”…”FP7”

 after 5 seconds. The same happens if the pattern preset is changed by 

the left/right arrows, in this case the speed setting mode is left immediately and the 

speed will remain as last set. 

 

■ DMX SLAVE MODE 

 

Press the MODE button until the display shows 

“SLA”

, indicating that the unit works in 

slave mode. The unit will receive DMX commands on channels 1, 2 and 3. Please note 

that these 3 channels represent a common communication standard between all 

models of the Multispot-GII series and do not directly relate to the LED colors. The 3 

channels carry RGB information which is internally re-calculated into the control 

information required for the specific units’ LED arrangement. Hence, it is not 

recommended to use the SLAVE mode with any external controllers,  since it has been 

specifically designed for setups where one Multispot-GII acts as a master and the 

others as slaves, while the different models of the range can be mixed.  The attempt to 

use an external DMX controller as a master with all connected Multispot-GII set to SLA 

mode will deliver unexpected and/or confusing results - use the GDMX setting instead.

 

NOTE:

 Whenever a DMX signal is received, the “D” tab in the display is lit – this is valid 

for all DMX-related modes.  

 

■ DMX GENERAL MODE / ADDRESS SETTING 

 

Press the MODE button until the display shows 

“GDMX”

. By the first touch of the left or 

right arrow button the present DMX Mode will be displayed. Use these left/right arrow 

buttons to choose between any of the following color control modes/channel schemes: 

 

-

 

3RAW = 3 colors RGB (3 channels)   

-

 

3CCC = 3 colors RGB + combined master/strobe (4 channels, as old Multispot) 

-

 

3CMS = 3 colors RGB +  strobe (5 channels) 

-

 

HSLS = Hue Saturation Lig strobe (4 channels) 

-

  PRES = Presets (allows to recall the preset colours and programmes of the 

unit) (4 Channels, see assignment specification below) 

 

Once having chosen the required control mode/channel scheme, please use the + or – 

buttons to set the required DMX address. Pressing the + or – button for the first time 

will show the present DMX address, which then can be altered by repeatedly using the 

+/- buttons in a range from 001 to 512. The display will show “1” … “512” accordingly. 

Pressing the +/- buttons for longer than 1 second accelerates the change rate of the 

displayed value to 3 times.  

If no change is made for 0,5 sec. or longer or the MODE button is pressed the relative 

settings become active. The display will only show the values presently being viewed or
