2. Installation:

Caution: For safe mounting of this product, please read the following carefully.

- Use the included rapid lock clamp to attach to lighting stand, trussing or bar, together with

safety chain. See section 9 for detailed instructions regarding rigging.

- When mounting the product, do not stand directly underneath the product

- Always use a safety chain when mounting the product on stands, trussing or bars. Make sure

DMX-512 Control Connection

Using a 3 pin XLR cable, you can connect the product to a DMX controller and then to

other fixtures with 3 pin XLR inputs and outputs. When not using DMX, multiple

fixtures can be connected together and operate under master/slave control. The signal

cable should have two core with shielded cable, the signal connectors are XLR input

and output connectors. Please refer to the below diagram:

7. DMX Address Setting

When being used in conjunction with a DMX controller, each fixture must be set a specific

starting address. When receiving signal, fixture will receive channel control signals of this

address from the DMX controller.

For simplicity, the user can use the same address for multiple fixtures but this will result in

each fixture providing exactly the same output and fixtures with the same DMX address cannot

be individually controlled.

To control each fixture individually via DMX, each fixture must have its own unique DMX

address. As this fixture uses 13 DMX channels, each address must be at least 13 apart.

So for example – assuming the first fixture is DMX channel 1, the second fixture would need

to be on channel 14, then the 3rd channel 27 and so on. Some DMX controllers may group

fixtures in lots of 16 channels – so in that case, fixture 1 on channel 1, fixture 2 on channel 17,

3 on 33, and so on. Refer to your DMX controllers’ instruction manual on how best to manage

your DMX channel allocation.

Address: 27 Address: 14 Address: 01

Safety-rope

Rapid locking hook

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

A DMX terminator helps to reduce ‘noise’ on the DMX chain, and makes the light respond to

control more accurately. It should be plugged in to the last fixture in any chain. For Terminator

connections please see below:

8. Error Messages

In the event of an error or problem within the fixture, the display will show an error message

such as “PAN-ERR”. A pan error could be caused by an obstruction to the rotation of the ball.

If this is the case, power off the unit and clear the obstruction.

With any error message, the unit should be powered off, then turned on again after a few

seconds. If the error message persists, please contact your local dealer for advice or repairs.

There are no user-serviceable parts within this product – do not attempt to open and repair

yourself. Doing so will result in any warranty being voided.

9. Rigging:

Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first holder into the respective holes on the base of the

product. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise. The mounting bracket can then be

attached to a stand, trussing or lighting bar securely. Be sure to use a safety chain which

connects through the lug with the hole in it on the base and around the trussing or bar on which

the product is being mounted.

10. Cleaning and maintenance

From time to time it is recommended the product is cleaned to ensure maximum light output

and performance. Use a wet cloth to clean the housing as well as the lenses and base. Glass

cleaner is also suitable but alcohol based cleaners and solvents cannot be used as they will

cause damage to the product.

When used in a fixed long term installation such as a venue or club, the unit should be

periodically taken down from the installation and professionally cleaned. Dust build-up within

the unit can cause damage and ultimately failure of components.
