Using Equipment.

• This light is intended for indoor use only. The light is ETL & CE listed with IP20 protection.

• Only qualified and certified personnel should perform installation, not for household use.

• Punch Series light should always be installed/mounted in a stable and secure location or mounting.

• Make sure that light is only used in dry location. Do not use light in or around falling water, wet

locations or moisture.

• Always allow adequate ventilation of the light. Never cover or in any way obstruct the louvere d openings in the light.

• If light is suspended either from above or below using yoke, make sure that a safety cable (not supplied) is attached to the light and properly secured. The strength of the cable/chain should be sized suitably to hold 6 times the weight the secured light. Note: Weight of fixture is 50 lbs.

• When mounting the light, make sure that only hardware rated for the weight and size of the fixture is used.

• Never look directly into the light source while the fixture is turned on. Light source is very bright and could cause damage to eyes.

• Do not probe or touch any interior features of the fixture. This includes the LED sources inside the barrel of the light. Doing so may cause damage to the fixture and/or may present a shock or burn hazard.

• Always make sure that the light fixture is connected to the proper power source with proper voltage and current ratings. Also, make sure that adequate over current protection is provided for the circuit as well.

1. Functional Requirements

The Aadyn Punch Plus light are controlled by software (embedded firmware). In general the software shall control the light and accept user inputs from multiple device types. Via the user inputs the light may be controlled and various parameters may be saved in non-volatile m emory.

The software shall monitor input from the following:

• CIM – an AAdyn proprietary Control Interface Module

• UIM – an AAdyn proprietary User Interface Module.

• DMX – a unidirectional digital network based on the DMX512 standard.

• Cancel (X) – which also referred to as the douse button, is a button that shuts off the light while it is

pressed.

The following sections provide all of the functional requirements for the Aadyn ECO Light Series.

• UP/DOWN keys – select the parameter to be controlled.

• LEFT/RIGHT keys – adjust the value of the selected parameter.

• CHECKMARK (Enter) key – some parameters are only put into effect after the enter key is

pressed. It also causes savable values to be stored.

• Red ‘X’ (UIM remote douse) – shall cause the light to be extinguished while it is pressed.

• The software shall display a menu of parameters on the UIM controller. The parameters listed below

Proprietary User Interface Module Requirements

• A UIM is mounted in the back panel and has six user input keys and a backlit LCD display that the software shall control. The

keys shall provide the following functionality:

• UP/DOWN keys – select the parameter to be controlled.

• LEFT/RIGHT keys – adjust the value of the selected parameter.

• CHECKMARK (Enter) key – some parameters are only put into effect after the enter key is pressed. It also causes

savable values to be stored.

• Red ‘X’ (UIM remote douse) – shall cause the light to be extinguished while it is pressed.

• REMOTE UIM

A connector is provided on the back panel to which a cabled remote UIM may be attached. Its function is identical to the internal UIM and keystrokes may be entered on either at any time.

• UIM BACKLIGHT TIMEOUT

After one minute of inactivity the backlight will extinguish and stay off until another button is pushed or power is cycled. A momentary push of any button for less than 2 seconds will enable the backlight immediately but the action normally associated with that button will be ignored. Pressing a key for more than two seconds will immediately enable the backlight and the button press will be honored after 2 seconds. The left and right buttons will begin to scroll as normal. Holding the up or down buttons will on cause the parameter field to change by one, the same action as when these buttons are held with the backlight on. The enter key will turn on the light immediately and have normal effect if held for two s econds. When there are two UIMs their backlight timeouts are independent of each other.

• UIM PARAMETERS

The software shall display a menu of parameters on the UIM controller. The parameters listed below shall be displayed in the order shown from top to bottom when the down key is pressed and shall default to LIGHT CONTROL. When the up key is pressed the order will proceed from LIGHT CONTROL to the bottom of the list, then upwards.

DMX Controller Interface Requirements

• The software shall power the LED’s based on UIM settings and any saved profile described under POWER ON SETTING before detecting the presence of a UIM (User Interface Module).

• The software shall accept input from the DMX512 Wired and Wireless controllers that represents user requested values for

BRIGHTNESS, FADE, EFFECT, EFFECT FREQUENCY and EFFECT ACTIVATION. Note: The wired DMX controller must

be disconnected from the head of the chain when the wireless mode is active as there can only be one DMX source at a time due to signal interference. The downstream daisy chain DMX cables do not need to be disconnected. In fact if only the light at the head of the chain is under wireless control the downstream lights may receive commands via DMX wired mode.

• The DMX input to the light is mapped as follows for each DMX MODE:

• 1 CHANNEL mode: Each DMX channel shall be used for BRIGHTNESS control.

• 2 CHANNELS mode: DMX channel 1 shall be used for BRIGHTNESS control. DMX channel 2 shall be used for

FADE control.

• 5 CHANNELS mode: DMX channel 1 shall be used for BRIGHTNESS control. DMX channel 2 shall be used for

FADE control. DMX channel 3 shall be used for EFFECT SELECTION control. DMX channel 4 shall be used for EFFECT FREQUENCY control. DMX channel 5 shall be used for EFFECT ACTIVATION control.

• When the mode is set for more than one channel, BRIGHTNESS will be at the DMX BASE ADDRESS, FADE will

be at DMX BASE ADDRESS + 1, etc.

• DMX BRIGHTNESS parameter shall range between 0 and 255. 0 means the light is off and 255 means the light is

100% bright.

• DMX FADE parameter shall range between 0 and 255. 0 means that fade is completely off and 255 means that a

three to four second fade is present.

• DMX EFFECT SELECTION parameter shall range between 0 and 255. The selections shall be as follows:

0: No Effect Selected 1 – 40: Lightning 1 Selected 41 – 80: Lightning 2 Selected

SB-218 C

81 – 120: Lightning 3 Selected 121 – 160: Lightning 4 Selected 161 – 200: Lightning 5 Selected 201 – 255: Strobe Selected

• DMX EFFECT FREQUENCY parameter shall range between 0 and 255. 0 means that the effect frequency is at a

maximum. 255 means that the effect frequency is at the minimum.

• DMX EFFECT ACTIVATION parameter shall range between 0 and 255. 0 means that the effect is off. 1 through

255 means that the effect is activated. An effect shall be reactivated only if channel 5 is brought to 0 and then made positive again.

these values are the same for models, Punch Plus and Tungsten: 2.0A. The requirement for the CN lights is 1.9A for both models.
