ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:
Insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in the last selected stand-alone mode.
Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between static and sound mode.
Remark:
You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control.
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that
has no cable connected to its DMX-input is the “master”, the others are the slave units.
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information.
Done!
Remark:
You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control
over the master/slave operation. You can also connect the LEDCON 02 remote controller

Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used
high speed signal to control intelligent
light equipment. You need to “daisy
chain” your DMX controller and all the
connected units with a good quality
balanced cable.
To prevent strange behavior of the
light effects, due to interferences, you
must use a 90
Ω
to 120
Ω
terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter
cables, this simply won’t work!
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper start address so it knows which
commands from the controller it has to decode. In the section HOW TO SETUP you
will learn how to set the DMX addresses. Remember that each projector uses 4 channels, a possible
address setup could be: unit1 = 001 ~ unit2 = 005 ~ unit3 = 009 ~ unit4 = 013 ~ etc.
OVERHEAD RIGGING
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons
during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where
persons may walk by or be seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point
load of 10times the device’s weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the
device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be
installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the
main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and
may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be
inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
