Installation of the GLS-4-MOD

The GLX Lighting LED stage 4 modular led system holds:

 4 seperate spots

 1 PCB module with display

 1 controller

Connect the spots and the controller to the module and plug in the power cord. The GLS-4-MOD starts

running in automatic mode. The spots and the module can be placed on a crossbar, lighting stand or

truss. Please note: for overhead rigging in public or industrial areas, a series of safety instructions have

to be followed that this manual can only give in part.

Main connection

The device must only be connected in compliance with the IEC standards. The electric installation must

be equipped with a Residual Current Device (RCD) with a maximum fault current of 30mA. Lighting

effects must never be connected to dimming packs.

Operation

After you power up the GLS-4-MOD, the LED’s start running and the display lights up. The device has

two operating modes; it can be operated in sound controlled or in DMX-controlled mode.

You can choose the desired mode via the button MENU, UP and DOWN:

When the display shows A*** you can choose the desired DMX address via the UP or DOWN buttons.

When the display shows *512 the device is in DMX mode. To switch to sound controlled mode, press

the DOWN button.

When the display shows *SND the device is in sound controlled mode. To switch to DMX mode, press

the UP button.

When the display shows S** you can choose the desired speed of the internal programs. Default is 51;

for increasing speed press the DOWN button, for decreasing speed press the UP button.

DMX controlled operation

You can control the spots individually via your DMX controller.

DMX-512 connection

Only use a stereo shielded cable with 3-pin XLR-connectors in order to connect the controller with the

fixture or one fixture with another.

Master - slave operation

The Master - slave operation enables several devices to be synchronized and controlled by one master

device. On the rear panel of the GLS-4-MOD module you can find an XLR socket, which can be used

for connecting several devices. Choose the device which is to control the effects (master). Connect the

OUT jack with the IN of the next device. Set the master device to SOUND mode and set each slave

device to the same DMX address.

Operation via controller

Connect the controller with the GLS-4-MOD via the 5-pin connection cable with plug.

switches simultaneously.

Cleaning and maintenance

Make sure that:

1. All screws used for installing the devices or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must

not be corroded.

2. There must not be any deformations of the housings, fixations and installation spots (ceiling,

suspension, trussing)

3. The electric power supply cable must not show any damages, (e.g. porous cables) or sediments.

Further instructions depending on the installation spot and usage have to be adhered by a skilled

installer and any safety problems have to be removed. Disconnect from mains before starting

maintenance operation.

We recommend frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a soft lint-free and moistened cloth. Never

use alcohol or solvents!
