Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure that all parts
are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain
packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows
signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a product must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the product be returned in the original factory box and
packing.
AC Power
This product has an auto-switching power supply that can accommodate a wide range of input
voltages. The only thing necessary to do before powering on the unit is to make sure the line voltage
you are applying is within the range of accepted voltages. This product will accommodate between
100V and 240V AC 50-60 Hz. All products must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot
be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is
used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.
Safety Instructions
information about the installation, usage and maintenance of this
product.
• Please keep this User Manual for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another user, be sure that

4. SETUP
Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always
replace with the same type fuse.
Fuse Replacement
With a flat-head screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged fuse
from its holder and replace with exact same
type fuse. Insert the fuse holder back in its
place and reconnect power.
Product Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light
shows of one or more products using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or
more products set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by
all the products on a serial data link determines the number of products the data link can support.
Important: Products on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply w ith the EIA-
Maximum recommended serial data link distance: 1,640 ft (500 m).
Maximum recommended number of products on a serial data link: 32 products
inside this
compartment.
Remove using a flat
485 standard no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more
than 32 products on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may
result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Master/Slave Product Linking
1. Connect the (male) 3-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3-pin connector
of the first product.
2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first product which will have a (female) 3-pin
connector to the input connector of the next product consisting of a (male) 3-pin connector. Then,
proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following product and so
and Standalone operation requires
that the first product in the chain be
initialized for this purpose via ei th er
settings in the control panel or DIPswitches. Secondarily, the products
that follow may also re quire a slave
setting. Please consult the
“Operating Instructions” section in
this manual for complete
instructions for this type of setup
and configuration.

Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the product. Each dip switch
has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide the start address.
Figuring out which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be accomplished by determining
which switch values will add up to the address value, and turning these switches on. Do so by doing the
following:
1) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the start address. Turn this switch on.
2) Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the starting address number.
3) Determine the largest value switch that is less than the remainder from the previous subtraction. Turn this
switch on.
4) Subtract the value of the switch you just turned on from the remainder of the previous subtraction.
5) Repeat steps three and four until you have a remainder of zero.
Switch # 4 = 8
Switch # 2 = 2
Total = 10
Switch # 5 = 16
Switch # 4 = 8
Total = 24

6. APPENDIX
General Maintenance
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear products should be cleaned frequently. Usage
and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, products should
be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause
overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off
product before conducting maintenance.
Unplug product from power. Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust
collected on external vents and internal components. Clean all glass when the product is cold with a
mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue. Apply
solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens. Gently polish optical
surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the product operates:
damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s
optics. Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. - Always dry the parts carefully. - Clean
the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
Return Procedure
Returned merchandise must be sent prepaid and in the original packing, call tags will not be issued.
Package must be clearly labeled with a Return Merchandise Authorization Number (RMA #).
