CAUTION!
DO NOT OPERATE THIS DEVICE WITH OPEN COVER
5.1. RIGGING THE DEVICE
CAUTION!
PLEASE CONSIDER THE GB7000.1-2015, GB7000.217-2008 AND THE OTHER
RESPECTIVE NATIONAL NORMS DURING THE INSTALLATION. THE
INSTALLATION MUST ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A QUALIFIED PERSON.
• The structure on which the device is rigged must be able to support 10 times the weight of
the device for 1 hour without any critical deformation occurring.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. the
included appropriate safety cable.
• Never stand directly below the device when rigging, de-rigging or maintaining the device.
• All electrical connections should be approved by a qualified electrician prior to using the
product.
• When the device is permanently installed these installations have to be approved by a
qualified person once a year.
• Overhead rigging requires extensive experience, including (but not limited to) calculating
working load limits, specifying installation/ rigging materials, and periodic safety
inspection of all installation material as well as the device. If you lack these qualifications,
do not attempt the rigging of this device yourself. Improper installation/ rigging can result
in serious bodily injury.
• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10
times the device’s weight.

5.2. RIGGING USING THE OMEGA BRACKETS
• Fix the clamp to the bracket by tightening the M12 nut and bolt to the bracket through the
Ф13 hole in the middle of the bracket.
• Insert the quick-lock fasteners of the first Omega holder into the respective holes on the
bottom of the device. Tighten the quick-lock fasteners fully clockwise.
• Install the second Omega holder.
• Pull the safety cable through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing
system or another suitable rigging point. Insert the end into the carabiner and tighten the
safety screw.
Important:
This step is very important to ensure safe rigging of the fixture.

5. DMX-512 CONTROL CONNECTION
Connect the provided male side of the XLR cable to the female XLR output of your controller
and the female side of the XLR cable to the male XLR input of the device. You can connect
multiple devices together in a serial fashion. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable
with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.
Address 57 Address 29 Address 1
6. DMX-512 CONNECTION WITH DMX TERMINATOR
For installations where the DMX cable has to run over a long distance or is in an electrically
noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This
helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal caused by electrical noise. The DMX
terminator is an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then
plugged into the output (female) XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see
illustrations below.

7. DEVICE DMX START ADDRESS SELECTION
All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a DMX signal, so that the
correct fixture responds to the correct control signals. This digital starting address is the channel
number from which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information sent out from
the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting address is achieved by setting the correct
address number on the display located on the base of the device.
You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of fixtures, or set different
addresses for each fixture individually.
If you set the same address on all devices, all the devices will start to “listen” to the same control
signal from the same channel number. In other words, changing the settings of one channel will
affect all the fixtures simultaneously.
If you set a different address, each unit will start to “listen” to the channel number you have set,
based on the quantity of control channels of the unit. That means changing the settings of one
channel will affect only the selected device.
If Extended mode is set, which requires 28 channel, you should set the starting address of the first
unit to 1, the second unit to 29 (28 + 1), the third unit to 57 (28+ 29), and so on.
8. DISPLAY
The Display offers Jog wheel features: you can set the starting address, run the pre-programmed
program or reset the device.
The main menu is accessed by double clicking the jog wheel of jog wheel until the display starts
flashing. Browse through the menu by turning jog wheel clockwise or counterclockwise. Press
the Jog wheel for 2 seconds in order to select the desired menu and double click the Jog wheel for
exit menu. After accessing the edit mode, the unit will automatically exit to the main menu after
15 seconds from the last button press. Clockwise is positive direction while counterclockwise is
opposite direction.
When the unit is powered on, if no data signal is connected after 1 minute, then the display will
switch off automatically. Display does not need external power to operate if an optional battery is
installed; hold down the jog wheel for seconds and the Display will turn on by using the unit’s
battery.
PS: No response when quick press the jog wheel.
CAUTION!
THE OPTIONAL BATTERY MUST BE A LI-ION RECHARGEABLE BATTERY,

11. ERROR MESSAGES
When you turn on the device, it will first perform a reset. The display may show ”Err channel is
XX” should there be problems with one or more functions. “XX” stands for channel 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
6 etc whose sensor has encountered a problem. For example, when the display shows “Err
channel is Pan movement”, it means there is an error on channel 1. If there are errors on channel
1, channel 3, channel 6 at the same time, you may see the error message, “Err channel is Pan
movement”, “Err channel is Tilt movement”“ “Err channel is Shutter” ,flash twice, and then the
device will generate a second reset. If the error messages persist after performing a reset more
than twice, the channels which have errors may not work properly however, all other functions
can work as usual. Please contact your dealer or manufacturer for service. Self repair is not
allowed.
PAN- movement Er
(PAN- yoke movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the yoke’s
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunction (Optical Sensor or Magnetic Sensor fails) or the stepper
motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The PAN- movement is not located in the
default position after the reset.
TILT- movement Er
(TILT- head movement error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the head’s
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions ((Optical Sensor or Magnetic Sensor fails)) or the stepper
motor is defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The TILT- movement is not located in the
default position after the reset.
ZOOM wheel Er
(ZOOM wheel- error) This message will appear after the reset of the fixture if the head’s
magnetic-indexing circuit malfunctions (sensor failed or magnet missing) or the stepper motor is
defective (or its driving IC on the main PCB). The ZOOM - wheel is not located in the default
position after the reset.

12. CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE
The following points have to be considered during inspection:
1) All screws 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 to the housing, lenses, rigging and installation points
(ceiling, suspension, trussing).
3) Motorized parts must not show any signs of wear and must move smoothly without issue.
4) The power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or sediment.
Further instructions depending on the installation location and usage have to be adhered to by a
qualified installer and any safety concerns have to be removed.
In order to ensure the device remains in good condition and does not fail prematurely, we suggest
regular maintenance.
1) Clean the inside and outside lens each week to avoid loss of output due to accumulation of
dust/ dirt on the lens.
2) Clean the fans each week to ensure maximum airflow and efficient thermal cooling. This will
ensure the light source is operated in the best possible condition.
3) A detailed electrical check by an approved electrician every quarter to make sure that the
circuit contacts are in good condition. This will prevent poor circuit contacts and the resultant
overheating.
We recommend frequent cleaning of the device. Please use a moist, lint- free cloth. Never use
alcohol or solvents.
Please refer to the instructions under “Installation instructions”.
Should you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your local dealer.
Remark: Errors and omissions for all information given in this manual are excepted. All
information is subject to change without prior notice.
