4 Setting the Light Effect Unit
into Operation
4.1 Installation
G
Always position the unit in such a way that a suf-
ficient air circulation is ensured during operation.
G
Always ensure a minimum distance of 50 cm to
the illuminated object.
Tightly screw the light effect unit via its mounting
bracket (1) to a suitable place, e. g. with a stable
mounting screw or a support for lighting units
(C hook) to a crossbar. To align the unit, release the
two locking screws (2) at the bracket, adjust the
desired inclination and retighten the screws.
4.2 Power supply
1) To
switch on
the unit, connect the mains cable
provided to a mains jack (16), then connect the
plug to a socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz). The display (5)
shortly shows
. Then the unit is ready for
operation and can be operated via a DMX light
controller (
chapter 6) or it runs automatically
through the control program adjusted (
chap-
ter 5).
2) To
switch off
, disconnect the mains plug from
the socket.
For a more convenient operation, it is recom-
mended to connect the unit to a mains socket
which is switched on and off via a light switch.
Caution:
The unit must
not
be connected to the
mains voltage via a dimmer!
For power supply of another light effect unit the
mains output jack (15) can be used if the total cur-
rent consumption does not exceed the rated cur-
rent of the fuse in the fuse support (17) [
type
plate and imprint on the unit]. The connection can
e. g. be made via the mains extension cable
AAC-170
/
SW from MONACOR. Thus, several
LED-640RGBW can be interconnected.
