Installation & Controls
After unpacking the fixture ensure that it is placed on a flat and stable surface before testing it for the first time. Make sure that the fixture has plenty of room to move and is not hindered by any nearby objects that may get in the way of the moving head.
To activate the fixture, connect the power cable to an available power socket before switching the fixture on via the On/Off switch. The fixture will now enter a start-up phase.
During the start-up phase, the fixture can not be controlled or adjusted. As soon as the start-up phase is complete, it will return to the last-used mode. The operating mode and other settings can now be adjusted via the display and menu buttons.
During the start-up phase, the fixture will calibrate all of its built-in motors (these motors control the movements and light effect application) and return every motor to the ‘zero’ point (starting point). The fixture may perform jerking movements and appear to glitch during this phase, but this is normal when starting up this kind of device. Normally, the start-up phase lasts no longer than approximately 30 seconds, depending on the first position of the moving head and how far the motors need to move to return to the zero point.
If a DMX signal is detected, the fixture will automatically revert to DMX mode and display the most recently used DMX address. A brand new fixture will usually display DMX address 001. The DMX address can be changed by the user via the display and menu buttons.
Via the display and menu buttons, a number of functions and settings can be changed. Press the ‘Enter’ button to select a function or to confirm any changes. Change any values with the ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ buttons and, with return to the main menu via the ‘Menu’ button.
The menu includes the following options and functions:

Operating Modes
The various operation modes, accessed via the menu functions listed above, are explained in full below:
Auto:
In automatic mode, you can select an operating mode that is not dependent on any external equipment or factors (e.g. a DMX controller, chained master unit, or detected sound). First, select one of the basic programmes before setting the parameters including playback speed.
Sound:
In sound-controlled, or sound mode, the device responds to any sound or music detected by the integrated microphone. In this mode, the device will perform an automatic light show and move in synchronisation to any detected music.
When no music or sound is detected (for example: if only higher frequencies are detected during the break of song), then the device will continue to move very slowly so that the light show does not come to a complete standstill. As soon as music is registered by the microphone once more, the device will resume the programme in time to the detected beat.
Slave
In Slave mode, it’s possible to chain multiple devices of the same type so that their functions can be synchronised. This means that multiple devices can perform a tight and coordinated light show in time with one another. In principle, an unlimited number of slave devices can be connected to a master unit, but the addition of a DMX booster placed at some point in the chain will be required. In general, no issues should occur when four units are chained in a chain of one master device and three slave devices.
Please note: When devices designed by a different manufacturer are chained together, even if the functionality seems identical, strange behaviour can occur. This is usually because specific functions are linked to the incorrect channel. This applies to all DMX lighting fixtures of all brands and types.
DMX
DMX mode is the most extensive control method, since it grants direct control over every function this unit has to offer. In DMX mode, a limited number to a large number of functions can be controlled via a DMX controller or DMX software.
This unit can be set to various different channel modes so that the channel layout, as listed below, matches the layout of your DMX circuit and with the functions that you actually need.
This device can be operated via 20-channel or 18-channel DMX modes:

Installation & Connection Instructions
In addition to knowing how to operate the Vision 360 BSW moving head, it's important to know how it can be safely and properly installed and connected.
Always ensure that children are unable to access the device or any connected cables and ensure that any children are supervised by an adult when the device is in use. Because this device can be set up in a standing or suspended position, it is possible for children to pull on any connected cables. The device must be positioned or installed in such a way that this is prevented.
Standing Use
When the Vision 360 BSW moving head is set up in a standing position, ensure that the device is set on a stable surface like a table, DJ booth or bar. The base of the moving head has been fitted with feet to improve grip and ensure stability.
Suspended Installation (Suspension Brackets)
When the Vision 360 BSW moving head is suspended, the suspension brackets need to be fitted to the baseplate of the device. These brackets are fitted via quick-couplers, which are inserted into the mounting points and turned by one quarter to screw them in place. A half-coupler or G-hook can then be secured via the mounting holes of the brackets. Standard hooks and/or brackets for 35mm or 50mm poles (truss or lighting stand) are available via your local retailer.
The hardware required for mounting the Vision 360 BSW moving head onto a wall, ceiling or beam does not come included. If you’re not sure what hardware you’ll need to install the unit, then contact a specialist for advice. Securing the unit to a wooden beam will require different hardware than when securing the unit to a stone wall, for example.
When the Vision 360 BSW is suspended, a safety cable must be used to secure the device. A safety cable does not come included but will be available via your local retailer. The Vision 360 BSW comes with a safety eyelet which can be screwed into the base of the device to secure a safety cable. The safety cable must then be looped over the truss or stand the unit is suspended from before being reattached to the hook. This way, if one or both of the brackets should fail and come loose, the safety cable will prevent the device from falling.
A safety cable that’s able to bear at least 10x the weight of the device must be used. The safety cable must be installed so that the unit is unable to fall any further than 30cm. To ensure this, the safety cable can be wrapped around the truss or stand to shorten the length as needed. The shorter the fall-distance allowed by the safety cable, the better the prevention of damage or injury.
Non-vertical/Non-standing Suspended Use
It is not recommended to install the device in any other position than a vertical standing position or suspended position. This includes mounting the device onto a vertically oriented truss where the device is secured to a vertical truss pole so that the base of the moving head is parallel to the truss pole. Use of the device in this manner is not recommended. Regular use of the device in this manner places increased stress on the pan axis and may negatively affect the lifespan of the device.
Where possible, mount the device using swivel couplers that can be oriented horizontally so that the device
The information included in this user manual is subject to change at any time and without notification:
Version: 1.0 Date & Author Initials: 18-11-2023 RV Revision Date & Author Initials: -
can be positioned vertically or suspended.
Light Source
The Vision 360 BSW comes fitted with powerful LED light modules coupled with a special lens that intensifies the effect. Never look into the lens of the unit from a short distance as the human eye is forced to react too quickly to the sudden intensity of light. Normally, this will not cause permanent injury, but will cause blind spots, impairing vision for a short period of time and causing disorientation and discomfort.
Cooling
The Vision 360 BSW is cooled by fans located in the head and main housing. These will activate automatically as soon as the unit is switched on. Always ensure that the fans and ventilation slots aren’t blocked and regularly check that they are functioning properly. Dust and other elements such as synthetic smoke (precipitated smoke fluid) can affect the performance and lifespan of the unit.
Air Filters
The Vision 360 BSW has been fitted with air filters in both the main housing of the head and in the base. These filters can be removed with a vacuum cleaner and cleaned or blown clean using an air pistol (compressor). After the filters have been cleaned, the counter found in the menu of the device can be reset. This way, the user is able to keep track of the number of hours since the device was last cleaned and maintained and when the device will need to be cleaned and maintained again.
Go to ‘Information’, then ‘Air Filters’ before entering ‘Elapsed Time’. In this section, the counter can be reset.
Temperature-Controlled Fan Systems
This Ayra Vision Series device is fitted with a built-in temperature-controlled fan system. This system is active as soon as the unit is switched on and will run at a low speed. As the internal temperature of the unit rises, the fan speed will increase to enhance the cooling effect.
The fans will rotate at base speed until the internal temperature reaches approximately 30°C, and will then gradually increase in speed as the temperature rises.
If (for whatever reason) the internal temperature rises to such a level that the fans are unable to sufficiently cool the device at their maximum speed, from approximately 70°C, the light output of the LED modules will automatically decrease to reduce heat production and regain thermal balance, preventing certain components from overheating.
Parts & Repairs
No spare parts are commercially available for this device, and therefore it cannot be repaired by the user. In case of any defect, always ensure that the device is inspected and repaired by a qualified technician.
Cleaning & Maintenance
The exterior housing of the unit must be cleaned with a dry or lightly moist microfibre cloth on a monthly basis. Ensure that the unit is unplugged from the power source before cleaning or performing any maintenance.
Check that no screws are missing and that all screws are well secured. Tighten any screws where needed. Check that no corrosion is present on any metal parts of the unit. If any corrosion is present, the unit must be properly inspected.
Use in Daylight/Direct Sunlight
The Vision 360 BSW is fitted with various optics, including a large central lens. If direct sunlight is able to shine through the optics of the device, there is a danger of sunlight beaming inside the unit itself. This light can be concentrated in such a way that the effect is amplified, causing damage to the interior of the device. In the worst case, this may cause a fire. Always prevent direct and prolonged sunlight from entering the central lens.
Special DMX Control Features

DMX Terminator & 110 Ohm Impedance Cables
Adding a DMX terminator to the end of your DMX circuit is strongly recommended. This is a termination resistor that is able to counter reflections in the DMX signal and prevent interference. Always use 110 Ohm DMX cables to ensure optimal data signal transfer.
While it may work in practice, unexpected reliability and signal stability issues may arise when this unit is connected using standard XLR microphone cables
High-quality cabling, a stable power supply and the use of DMX terminators all contribute to a more consistent, reliable and safe setup.
DMX Terminator
A DMX terminator is commonly placed at the end of the DMX circuit when using this device in DMX mode. A DMX terminator places a 120 Ohm resistor between pin 2 and 3 to eliminate any data reflections. Data reflections can cause any DMX fixtures to behave strangely.
Ready-made DMX terminators can be purchased, but a 120 Ohm resistor can be soldered between pin 2 and 3 of a standard XLR (male, 3-pin) plug to complete a terminator.
DMX Splitter/Booster
When more than 32 fixtures are chained in one DMX circuit, it is recommended to add a DMX splitter to divide the circuit into several groups. This prevents the signal from becoming too weak, especially when long distances need to be bridged between each fixture.
By using a signal distributor and/or booster, the setup is at a far lower risk of signal distribution problems. This is especially recommended when several fixtures are chained in the same DMX circuit or the DMX signal needs to travel longer distances between fixture groups.

Special Power Output Features
Device Capacity
This device comes with a 3x 1.5mm² thick connecting cable. The internal wiring between the input and output of this device is 1.5mm².
This unit comes fitted with a power output that can be linked to the following unit to form a chain. A loop­through cable that also has 1.5mm² wiring must be used to link the power output to another unit.
The maximum capacity of the power link output is 16 Amperes, minus the power consumption of the unit itself.
This unit has a maximum power consumption rating of 500 Watts which amounts to 2.08 Amperes at 240V and 5 Amperes at 100V. To ensure safe operation, and to allow for a margin, it is recommended that a maximum of 10A at 100V or 13A at 240V from the first unit be passed onto the subsequent units. This means that the total load capacity on the line that supplies the first appliance with power can never exceed 15A.
Always take the capacity of the mains power connection used for the first unit in the line (and any other units in the same line) into account. Because, besides your units, other devices may be connected to the same power group. If this is the case, then the maximum load capacity of the group will be affected, meaning that fewer devices (units, equipment etc.) can be connected.
In practice, this means that, a maximum of two Ayra Vision 360 BSW moving heads at 100V, or a maximum of six Ayra Vision 360 BSW moving heads at 240V, can be chained via the power link output. This is normally more than sufficient for a chain like this, as long as the mains power group is not being used by other

electronic devices.
Ideally, other devices (such as heavy strobe lights, smoke machines and so on) that consume more energy than this device are connected to a different power supply.
The built-in fuse of this device only protects the device itself. If the fuse blows as the result of an electrical fault, the rest of the chain will continue to function normally.
If there is a problem with the device that affects the entire chain, such as a short-circuit, then normally the mains fuse (usually found in the circuit breaker of the distribution box) of the power group will cut power to all devices connected to that group.
Bear in mind that, if your setup is connected to a third-party system, such as those in an events space, then the power group can only be restored via the electrical meter box.
The installations at these kinds of venues are not usually accessible by third parties. Always check with the venue, or contact the relevant organiser regarding accessibility in the event of power­outages such as short circuits.
Care & Maintenance
Air Filters & Fan System
This device comes fitted with an air filter placed at the main suction point found at rear. Here, heat is removed by three fans. The air filters prevent small particles from entering the device, which may affect optical performance. Issues can vary from output loss to blurry light projection.
Because the air filters capture dust particles and form a kind of barrier, the device may require regular care and maintenance depending on how the device is used and how frequently the device is used. If the device is often used in more demanding conditions, then it should be checked and maintained regularly.
To access the air filters, the covers need to be removed from the head of the device. The covers can be removed by loosening the screws holding the covers in place using a Phillips head screwdriver.
The lens cover should be removed first and is held in place by four screws. Now both of the side covers can be removed, both of which are held in place with four screws.
Note: A flexible strip links to the two covers to ensure that both halves of the cover neatly enclose the head. These strips are easily removed but need to be correctly reinstalled when screwing the covers back in place.
Once the head has been stripped of all three covers, the user can access the air filter (and the frame that the air filter is mounted in). This may also be removed by loosening the four screws.
The air filter can be easily cleaned by removing the build up of any dust. This can be done using a vacuum cleaner or an air compression pistol to blow air through the filter and remove dust.
If the filter looks damaged and feels greasy, which can happen when e.g. smoke fluid residue is allowed to build up, the filter can be wiped clean with a lightly damp cloth. Never use any cleaning fluids or agent and make sure that the filter is completely dry before reinstalling.
Before reinstalling the filter, check that the large intake fan is still in good condition and not clogged with a large amount of dust.

Excess dust can be carefully removed by, for example, using a fine brush or a vacuum cleaner fitted with a fine nozzle.
When using any kind of air compressor or vacuum cleaner, avoid applying too much force to the fan and prevent the fan from rotating excessively.
Upgrading Your Device
Replaceable Gobos
This device features a gobo wheel with slots that can be filled with rotating gobos. This effect wheel comes filled with standard gobos that are designed for spot projection via a sharp or blurred focus, with or without prism effects.
The included gobos can be replaced with gobos from the compatible Upgrade Gobo Pack 1, which includes six different gobo types. It is also possible to replace the standard gobos with gobos featuring your own design.
The gobos can be removed and replaced by the user. To replace the gobos, the device does need to be opened. Only ever open the device when it has been unplugged from the mains power socket. Remove the lens cap by loosening the four mounting screws using a Phillips head screwdriver. Now, remove the head cover on the side where the two fans are visible. The cover is easily removed by loosening the four mounting screws using a Philips head screwdriver.
Note: A flexible strip links to the two head covers to ensure that both halves of the cover neatly enclose the head. These strips are easily removed but need to be correctly reinstalled when screwing the covers back in place.
When the head covers have been removed, you will be able to see the interior mechanisms of the device. It is important that the user only touch or access the gobo wheel that houses the rotating gobos.
If necessary, set the PAN and TILT lock of the device so that the head remains in a stable position. Manually turn the gobo wheel to find the gobo that you want to replace.
Once you have found the gobo wheel that you want to replace, grip the gobo mount (the gear-like wheel) between the thumb and forefinger, move it slightly upwards and pull it towards you. The gobo mount is attached to an axle with a curved Y-fork. The gobo mount should come loose without the need to apply any force.
If necessary, the gobo slotted into the gobo mount can also be replaced. The gobo is locked into the mount via a spring. Make sure that the replacement gobo is heat-resistant and is installed with the correct side facing upwards.
Reinstalling a gobo in the gobo mount is performed by reversing the steps to remove a gobo. Make sure that the Y-fork of the gobo mount points towards the axle before pushing the gobo mount into the correct slot. After installation, gently wiggle the gobo mount back and forth to check that it’s properly secured. Check the gobo rotation function by gently rotating the gobo wheel, which should also rotate the gobo mount if the gobo has been replaced and reinstalled correctly.
