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 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, then it could void the warranty.

During shipping, the Elektralite eyeBall may have been exposed to high temperature changes or
humidity changes. So, as a precaution, do not switch the Elektralite eyeBall on immediately.
Condensation can damage the Elektralite eyeBall so leave the Elektralite eyeBall switched off until it
has reached room temperature. The Elektralite eyeBall is an INDOOR operational fixture. Do not
operate this fixture outdoors or anywhere there is high humidity.
The electrical connection must carry out by a qualified person and it is absolutely essential that the
Elektralite eyeBall 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 is there for safety.

Always disconnect the Elektralite eyeBall from the power source, when the fixture is not in use or
before cleaning it. Only unplug Elektralite eyeBall 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 away from children and the general public. Please be intelligent
and use common sense when operating the Elektralite eyeBall.

3. General Guidelines.

Elektralite eyeBall is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in clubs, theatres, churches etc.
Elektralite eyeBall should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors.
Elektralite eyeBall should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week). Elektralite eyeBall

needs operation breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without problems. Please do not

shake the Elektralite eyeBall and avoid using brute force when installing or operating it.
When choosing the location to install the Elektralite eyeBall, 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 eyeBall and the illuminated surface

must be more than 3 feet.

Always mount the Elektralite eyeBall with an appropriate safety cable.
Operate the Elektralite e yeBall 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 will invalidate the warranty. There are absolutely no
exceptions.
If the Elektrali te eyeBall is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the

Elektralite eyeBall maybe damaged and the guarantee will be void.

4. Installation

Please ensure that the Elektralite eyeBall 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 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 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

Ω

Connect an XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of your Elektralite CP 20 or other DMX
controller. The other end should be connected to the male 5-pin XLR input of the Elektralite eyeBall.
Then daisy-chain out of the first Elektralite eyeBall into the next Elektralite eyeBall 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 or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.
