DMX-512 CONNECTION
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX-output of the controller directly to the DMX-
input of the first unit in a DMX-chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all
units are connected.
If you use a controller with 5 pin DMX connection you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter.
At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+)
into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.
DMX Control
Connect the machine directly to a DMX controller or a DMX loop with multiple DMX effects. The machine uses a 3-pin XLR
connector for DMX connection.
Address Setup:
Press the MODE button a number of times until Add appears on the display, with the UP / DOWN buttons the start address may
be set. The start address is defined as a first channel to which the machine will respond to. Check that there are no overlapping
channels used!
OPERATION

Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.
Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
FIXTURE CLEANING
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding
can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
•
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing
•
Housings, fixations and installations spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation
•
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is
detected
•
In order to protect the fixture from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned
monthly.
•
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
•
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
•
Always dry the parts carefully.
•
Clean the external optics at least every month. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
ATTENTION: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified worker!
