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 Z8.

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 exceed 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 exceed 40°C and should not be lower than -10°C

DMX SIGNAL CONNECTION:

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 ø 0.5 mm cable and a CANNON XLR 5 pins 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 of the Z8 plug and connect it to the next unit by connecting the DMX OUT plug on the first Z8 to the DMX IN plug of the second one. 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.

DMX ADDRESS

Z8 LED CONTROLLER can be used in 8 DMX modes: 112 ch, 80 ch, 64 ch, 32 ch,14 ch, 10 ch, 1ch or CUSTOM channels mode.

If you want to use the Z8 in 32 channels mode, select the “ ” mode from the DMX MODE menu under MODE SETTINGS and set the following addresses on the mixer:

Projector 1 A001 Projector 2 A033 Projector 3 A065 ….. A…. projector 6 A161

If you want to use the Z8 in 10 channels mode, select the “ ” mode from the DMX MODE menu under MODE SETTINGS and set the following addresses on the mixer:

Projector 1 A001

Projector 2 A011 If you want to select the next projector, just add “10”

Projector 3 A021

….. A….

projector 6 A051

If you want to select the next projector, just add “32”

Full type - 8 bit

Z1 type - 8 bit

Selelcting the DMX address

1) Press the UP-DOWN key until you reach the required DMX address. The numbers on the display will start flashing (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.

MASTER MODE SETUP Automatic LEDs output settings without needing of an external DMX controller. 3 different selectable options with Dimmer level (Master level output 0-255) selectable by user: Master Chase: (Rainbow game or Chase with 15 programmable scenes), with Speed time and Wait time selectable by user. Master Cue: (7 selectable Cues with fixed colours) Master White RGB: (4 selectable Whites with different colour temperature).

CHASE RECORDER Chase with 15 user programmable scenes. (External DMX controller needed) Z8 is automatically forced to 15 DMX receiving channels when entering inside the CHASE RECORDER. For the programming of Chase by using a DMX controller, besides the 10 channels necessary to control the unit (Z1 type - 8 bit mode) a further 5 DMX channels are needed. So that in CHASE RECORDER mode the unit will need 15 channels to be correctly programmed. The five new DMX channels are: DMX CH 11 = Scene number select Let you select the Scene to be programmed / viewed (1-15) DMX ch 12 = Scene status (Edit, Show, Last) Let you Edit the scenes, View the previously programmed scenes or Set the last scene of the chase. DMX ch 13 = Scene speed (0-240 seconds) Let you set the Scene speed time (independend speed time for each scene of the Chase) DMX ch 14 = Scene wait (0-240 seconds) Let you set the Scene Wait time (independend Wait time for each scene of the Chase) DMX ch 15 = Store Let you store the programmed scenes (Channel 12 “Scene status” should be set to Edit mode or to Set Last mode)
