IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Fire prevention:
Never locate the fixture on any flammable surface.
Minimum distance from flammable materials: 10 cm
Replace any blown or damaged fuses only with those of identical value
Prevention from electric shock:
High voltage is present inside the unit.
Unplug the unit prior to performing any operation which involves touching the inside of the unit. This equipment must be grounded, do not connect to non-grounded supplies.
The use of a thermal magnetic circuit breaker is recommended for each Z1.
Use only AC supplies 90-260V, 50-60Hz
The unit should never be located in position exposed to rain or in areas of extreme humidity. A good air ventilation is essential for proper equipment work.
Safety:
The external surface of the unit may exeed 50°C; never handle the unit until at least 5 minutes have elapsed since the unit was turned off.
Never install the unit in an enclosed area lacking sufficient air flow.
The ambient temperature should not exeed 40°C and should not be lower than -10°C

DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION:
Z1 LED Controller
The unit operates using a digital DMX 512 signal. Connection between the controller and the unit or between units must be carried out using a two pair screened ø0.5 mm cable and a CANNON XLR 5 or 3 pole connector.
Ensure that the conductors do not touch each other. Do not connect the cable ground to the XLR chassis. The plug housing must be isolated. Connect the mixer signal to the DMX IN projector plug and connect it to the next projector by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first unit to the DMX IN plug of the second one.
In this way, all the projectors are cascade connected.

P.S:
If the display showing the DMX address flashes, then one of the following errors has occurred:
-DMX signal not present
-DMX reception problem
For Installations where long distance DMX cable connections are needed,we suggest to use a DMX terminator.
The DMX terminator is a male XLR 3-5 pins connector with a 120 ohm resistor Between pin 2 and 3. The DMX terminator must be plugged into the last unit (DMX out panel connector) of the DMX line.

Selelcting the DMX address
1)Press the UP-DOWN key until you reach the required DMX address. The numbers on the display will start to flash (but the new DMX address hasn't yet been set).
2)Press ENTER to confirm your selection. The numbers on the display will stop flashing and the projector is now controlled by the new DMX address.
TIPS: if you keep pushed the UP or DOWN keys, the channels are calculated more quickly and you get a faster selection.

REC MODE
In DMX Recorder Mode,it is possible to create and store the scenes of the ChPr by using an external DMX controller.
The unit must be setted to 9 channels MODE
DMX Recorder Mode
For the programming of ChPr by using a DMX controller, besides the 9 channels necessary to control the unit a further 3 DMX channels are needed.
So that in RECORDER mode ( via DMX) the unit will need 12 channels to be correctly programmed. The three new DMX channels are:
DMX channel 10 = SCENES channel
From 0-10 = no function ( r001)
From 11-255 are displayed the programmable scenes (max 16 scenes from M001 to M0016 )
DMX channel 11 = EDIT channel: -From 0-19 = no function
-From 20-234 the unit runs the configuration given by the received input DMX values.
With the channel SCENES it is possible to pass from one step to the next while with REC it is possible to record the selected scene. -From 235-255 the unit runs the configuration given by the received input DMX values closing the sequence as last scene.
With the channel REC it is possible to record the selected scene as last scene.
DMX channel 12 = RECORDING channel
Records the set scene with a variation between 0 to 255 (the display flashes indicating that the scene has been recorded).It is advised that you keep the REC channel set to 0 and to run through the 255 only once you have decided to save the scene. If ChPr is not closed, by indicating the last scene ( Edit channel between 235-255), in playback mode all 16 scenes will be played through even if not programmed
