IMPORTANT

Installer and Users please note:

These instructions should be read carefully and left

with the user of the product for future reference.

Installation.

Connect the IQ-MX80 to the 230V mains supply with the lead

supplied. 

• 

Brown = live   • Blue = neutral   • Green/Yellow = earth 

•  The  IQ-MX80  must  be  earthed  to  ensure  safety  and

correct operation of the touch pads. 

If  sound  activated  operation  is  required,  connect  a  sound

signal,  either  0dBm  from  the  line-level  output  of  a  mixer,  or  the

speaker output from an amplifier, to the sound input jack.

Great care should be taken not to connect the sound input to

the  DMX-output  socket,  as  this  may  destroy  the  internal

electronics (the DMX line-driver)

Connect the DMX output from the IQ-MX80 to the DMX input

of the nearest lantern. The DMX output socket is a 3-pin XLR. Pin

connections are as follows:

Pin 1 = ground  

connect to sleeve on stereo ¼" jack

or Pin 1 on 5-pin XLR

Pin 2 = Data +

 

connect to tip on stereo ¼" jack

or Pin 3 on 5-pin XLR

Pin 3 = Data −

connect to ring on stereo ¼" jack

or Pin 2 on 5-pin XLR

On a 3-pin XLR, Pin 3 is the one in the middle.
Refer to the “externally controlled” section of the lantern user

guide for further information on connection.

Portable Appliance Testing

The IQ-MX80 should be checked for Electrical Safety annually,

and  if  it  is  hire  equipment,  before  it  is  hired  out.  A  high-voltage

test (at 500V or 1000V) should be carried out between live and

earth, and an earth bonding test between the case and the earth

connection  (at  6A  or  10A).  Insulation  resistance  should  be

greater  than  10M

W

  and  earth  bonding  resistance  less  than

0.5

W

.  A  high  voltage  test  may  also  be  carried  out  between  the
