2. Safety Instructions.

This device 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. ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is a high voltage fixture. Be careful

when dealing with high voltages.

Please read this manual. If you do not read this manual and damages occur to the ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1), then it could void the warranty.

During shipping, the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) may have been exposed to high temperature
changes or humidity changes. So, as a precaution, do not switch the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) on
immediately. Condensation can damage the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) so leave the ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1) switched off until it has reached room temperature. The ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1)
is an INDOOR operational fixture. Do not operate this fixture outdoors or anywhere there is high
humidity.
The electric connection must carry out by a qualified person and it is absolutely essential that the
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) be grounded. So under no circumstances break off the ground pin on the

Edison plug or use the fixture where a ground is not present. A ground pin, like the fuse for the

ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is there for safety.
Always disconnect the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) from the power source, when the fixture is not in

use or before cleaning it. Only unplug ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) from the power source holding onto

the Edison plug. Never pull out the Edison plug out by just pulling on the power cord itself.

Please keep the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) away from children and the general public. Please be
intelligent and use common sense when operating the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1).

3. General Guidelines.

ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in clubs, theatres,

churches etc.

ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors.
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week).
ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) needs operation breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without

problems. Please do not shake the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) and avoid using brute force when

installing or operating it.

Please read this below. It is important to understand and realize the following:-

The lens encapsulates each of the leds. This way the maximum output is attained. However this
means that, if the fixture is dropped or the front lens assembly is struck, then it is possible for leds to
be crushed. So please exercise care and attention. This is not a par64 that can be abused at will!

When choosing the location to install the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1), please make sure that it is not

exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust and never install it outdoors. Make sure that the fixture has
a good amount of free space around it for air flow. Do not install it in a confined space or have

insulation around the fixture. The minimum distance between the ElektraLite ey eBall (5-in-1) and the

illuminated surface must be more than 3 feet.

Always mount the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) with an appropriate safety cable.
Operate the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) only when you are familiar with the features on the fixture.

Do not permit operation by persons not qualified.

All modifications to the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) will invalidate the warranty. There are
absolutely no exceptions.
If ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual,

ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) maybe damaged and the guarantee will be void.

4. Installation.

Please ensure that the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) is hung using the appropriate "C" clamp or half

cheeseboro. A safety chain or cable should also be used as a secondary point of holding the fixture in
case the clamp comes loose. Never hang the fixture without a safety chain or cable.

If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) then do
NOT hang it.

Do not clamp the safety cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.

A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold the ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) if the

"C" clamp or half cheesboro fails. Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the fixture from

falling to the ground. So do NOT fix the safety cable to the same place that the "C"clamp is attached.

5. DMX-512 Control Connection.

Connect an XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of your ElektraLite CP16/24 or other DMX
controller. The other end should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the ElektraLite eyeBall

(5-in-1). Then daisy-chain out of the first ElektraLite eyeBall (5-in-1) into the next ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1) or other dmx device. Never “Y” split the DMX connection.

If you need more cable, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 5 pin XLR input and
output connector. Please refer to the diagram below.

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, it is recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the
digital control signal. The DMX terminator is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 Ω resistor

connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last ElektraLite
eyeBall (5-in-1) or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.

The eyeBall also has 3-pin XLRs for the DMX. Pins 1, 2 and 3 correspond to 5-pin XLR. However the

physical position of the pins is different. So please study the 3-pin XLR carefully before putting a
resistor across pins 2 and 3.
