This LED CURTAIN has left the factory in perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this user manual.



If the LED CURTAIN has been exposed to temperature changes due to environmental changes, do not switch it on immediately. The arising condensation could damage the LED CURTAIN. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.



Make sure operation after every piece of LED connected properly.



Make sure that the available voltage is not higher than stated at the end of this manual.



Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged by sharp edges. If this would be the case, replacement of the cable must be done by an authorized dealer.



Always disconnect from the mains, when the device is not in use or before cleaning it. Only handle the power cord by the plug. Never pull out the plug by tugging the power cord.



Please be aware that damages caused by manual modifications to the device are not subject to warranty. Keep away from children and non-professionals.



If the external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be exclusively

replaced by the manufacturer or his service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.

5．2 GENERAL GUIDELINES



This device is a lighting effect for professional use on stages, in discotheques,

theatres, exposition, etc.



This fixture is only allowed to be operated with the max alternating current which stated in the technical specifications in the last page of this manual



Lay the LED screen carefully, avoid the heavy pressure on LEDs.



Fixtures cannot be installed on combustible substances, keep more than 50cm distance with wall for smooth air flow, so there should be no shelter for fans and ventilation for heat radiation.



Always fix the fixture with an appropriate safety cable if you use the quick lock cam in hanging up the fixture, please make sure the 4 quick lock fasteners turned in the quick lock holes correctly.



While choosing the installation-spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust.



When fixing the device on a raised-from-the- ground support, be sure to insert quicklock detain in the pre-arranged screw holes, and fix the device with an accessorial safety cable.



Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation.



Please use the original packaging if the device is to be transported.



For safety reasons, please be aware that device teardown are forbidden.



If this device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer damages and the guarantee becomes void.

6. Installation Instruction

a). The operating temperature of this device is -15o C ~ 50o C and moisture within 10%~95%, please use the device not exceed this range. b). The installation of the effect has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation. c). Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture. d). The operator has to make sure the devices are properly connected according to this manual

Installtion Instruction：

a) Fixed the clamp on the bracket by tighten up the M12 screw on the bracket to the Ф13

hole in the middle of the bracket.

b) 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. c) Install the second Omega holder. d) Pull the safety-rope through the holes on the bottom of the base and over the trussing

system or a safe fixation spot. Insert the end in the carabine and tighten the safety

screw.

Notice: this step is quite important to ensure that the fixture will not drop out by the damage of the clamp.

7. DMX-512 control and signal connection

DMX-512 control connection

Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below.

Starting address 1 Starting address 7 Starting address 13

Signal connection

For signal connection, please connect the signal cable end to led display transmitter first outlet, a master card to connect to the led display of the engine signal inputs. from the first screen of the signal output is connected to the second block display output, and so on, until all display attached. The signal cable must be reticle connected to mother card respectively, Please see the following signal connection picture:

8. Connection of PC and Controller

Connect the video display controller and PC DVI connector with DVI cable, then connect controller to PC USB connector with USB cable, controller’s output cable connect to vertical input of LED screen, see following picture:

9. DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

For installations where the DMX cable has to run 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 by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.

10. Projector DMX starting 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 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 make different address for each fixture individually. If you set the same address, all the units 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 fixture.

In the case of the moving head, which is 6channels fixture, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 7(6 + 1), the third unit to13 (6+ 7), and so on.

Excursion:

A Master unit can send up to 3 different data groups to the Slave units, i.e. a Master unit can start 3 different Slave units, which run 3 different programs. The Master unit sends the 3 program parts in a continuous loop.

The Slave unit receives data from the Master unit according to the group which the Slave unit was assigned to. If e.g. a Slave unit is set to “Slave 1” in the menu “Set to Slave”, the Master unit sends “Auto Program Part 1” to the Slave unit. If set to “Slave 2”, the Slave unit receives “Auto Program Part 2”.

To start a Auto Program please proceed as follows:

1. Slave-Setting

• Select “Function Mode” by turning the encoder.
