1.1PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
This product is designed for indoor or outdoor use. Suitable applications include wash or
effect lighting for architectural, stage or nightclub applications. This product can also be
installed for use in signage and advertising using the dynamic functions available with
DMX512 control. Direct input of DMX512 signal allows the units to be controlled from any
DMX512 controller. This product can be operated as a single unit or in multiple units for
large applications.
The specially developed controller that allows the product to be controlled independent of
the DMX512 controllerenables the userto create and edit a wide range of customprograms.
All programs can be touch-button displayed or scheduled to START and END at scheduled
times. When programs have been created or edited in the controller, it is also possible to
trigger these programs using the DMX IN function when connected to aDMX512 controller.

2.1MOUNTING
HANGING
The LED MODULE can be mounted in a hanging
position using thesupport frame. Itis possible to
use any bolt of the correct size and strength to
mount the fixture. It is recommended to use at
least 2 mounting points per fixture.
Mounting with a clamp or other
mounting bracket is recommended
depending on the requirements of
your application.
UPRIGHT
The LED MODULE can be mounted upright using the support
frame. It is possible to use any bolt of the correct size and
strength to mount the fixture. It is recommended to use at
least 2 mounting points per fixture. Mounting with a
clamp or other mounting bracket is recommended
depending on the requirements of your
application.
HANGING
UPRIGHT
The LED MODULEcan be mounted at any angleand in any
position. It is possible to further adjust the angle of the LED
MODULE using thetwo adjustment knobs located on the side of
the fixture.
2.2POWER CONNECTIONS
@ 220V:30 units may be connected in series
@120V: 15 units may be connected in series

2.3INTERLOCKING MULTIPLE FIXTURES
The diagram above shows how multiple units can be interlocked together to create a 'panel'
or 'blinder' arrangement.
The 'male' and 'female' connections enable the fixtures to be interlocked together in the
way shown in the diagram. Please note that when multiple units are mounted together it is
not necessary to attach every single unit to the truss, wall or weight supporting system.
However, it is important to ensure that all fixtures are securely locked together and that
each fixture is secured using a safety cable.

2.4SETTING UP WITH A DMX512
CONTROLLER
2.4-1 DMX512 ADDRESSING WITHOUT ID ADDRESSING
(STAGE 1 MODE)
Connect the DMX512controller to theunits in series.
Each unit has 12 DMX channels so theDMX Addresses should increase by increments of
12 (e.g. 1,13,25,37...)
The ID address has not been set so therefore when usingthe controller CH10 must
be inactive ( CH10=0 ).
It is also possible to deactivate ID address selecting ID OFF from the Settings menu.
on the fixture
Each DMX Address may be used as many times as required.
Any DMX address in the range from 001 to 245 may be used.
Example:
DMX Addr.1DMX Addr.13DMX Addr.25
DMX512
CONTROLLER
The figure above shows a simple DMX512
layout with thestarting address ofthe first
unit set at 1, with the second set at 13 and
so on... (Note that when used in this way,
the CH10 IDfunction must be inactive (CH10=0))
2.4-2 DMX512 ADDRESSING WITH ID ADDRESS(STAGE 1 MODE)
Connect the DMX512 controller to the units in series
Each unit has 12 DMX channels so the DMX Addresses should increase by increments of
12 (e.g. 1,13,25,37...)
Each DMXAddress may be used as many times as required.
Any DMX address in the range from 001 to 245 may be used.
Each DMX addressmay carry upto 66 separateID addresses.
ID Address should be set in the Settings menu on each unit in ascendingvalues
(i.e. 1,2,3...)
ID On should be set in the Settings menu on eachunit.
ID addresses are accessible from CH10 on the DMX512 controller.

The figure above shows a simple DMX layout
which has usedthree units ateach DMX address.
The three unitshave different ID addresses which
allows the user to collectively control the whole
group of units at that DMX address by setting
CH10 to0, or to control each unit independently by
first selecting the DMX address and then by using
CH10 tolocate the target ID address. (Note that
when using IDaddresses it is also possible to
activate ADAS which allows for even more options
with DMX addressingand control see ADAS
Addressing section 2.2-3)
2.4-3 ADAS WITH ID ADDRESS(STAGE 1 MODE)
Connect the DMX512 controller to the units in series
Select ADAS ON from the Settings menu
ID Address should be set in theSettings menu on each unit
in ascending values (i.e. 1,2,3...)
ADAS addressing is based onthe ID addressas follows:
ADAS addressing is activated by moving CH8 + CH10 faders to the 255 value (CH8 = 255 &
CH10 = 255)
ADAS addressing is deactivated by moving CH8 + CH10 + CH11 tothe 255 value
(CH8 = 255, CH10 = 255 & CH11 = 255)
When ADAS is deactivated, allDMX addresses willreturn to theiroriginal DMXAddress.
To permanently store ADAS DMX addresses, select ADAS copy from the Settings
menu,on the targetfixtures to store the new DMX Address.
Example:
ID Addr.1ID Addr.2ID Addr.3

2 INSTALLATION10
The figure aboveshows a simpleID address
layout using one DMX address. Each of the
units hasa different ID address which will
receive a new temporary DMX address when
ADAS is activated(unless ADAS copy
is selected). The user is able to activate and
deactivate ADASat will giving the possibility
of creating many different fixture grouping
possibilities using theID address, real DMX
address and theADAS temporaryDMX address.
