1. Unpacking
Thank you for choosing the Elektralite RGBA Dazer fixture. For your own safety, please read this manual before installing
the fixture. This manual covers important information on installation and applications. Please keep this manual for future
reference.
To keep this simple, we are going to refer to the fixture as the Elektralite RGBA Dazer throughout the manual.
The Elektralite RGBA Dazer fixture uses 36 high powered 5 watt leds in a balanced arrangement giving incredible output.
Please unpack it carefully and check whether it was damaged in shipping.
The following items should be in the box with the fixture:- Gel frame, safety glass and safety cable.
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. The
Elektralite RGBA Dazer 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 RGBA Dazer, then it
could void the warranty.
During shipping, the Elektralite RGBA Dazer may have been exposed to high temperature changes or humidity changes.
So, as a precaution, do not switch the Elektralite RGBA Dazer on immediately. Condensation can damage the Elektralite
RGBA Dazer so leave the Elekt ralite RGBA Dazer switched off until it has reached room temperature. The Elektralite
RGBA Dazer 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 RGBA Dazer
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 RGBA Dazer is there for safety.
Always disconnect the Elektralite RGBA Dazer from the power source, when the fixture is not in use or before cleaning it.
Elektralite RGBA Dazer Never pull out the Edison plug out by just pulling on the power cord itself.
Please keep the Elektralite RGBA Dazer away from children and the general public. Please be intelligent and use common
sense when operating the Elektralite RGBA Dazer.
3. General Guidelines.
Elektralite RGBA Dazer is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in clubs, theatres, churches etc.
Elektralite RGBA Dazer should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors.
Elektralite RGBA Dazer should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week). Elektralite RGBA Dazer needs
operation breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without problems. Please do not shake the Elektral ite RGBA
Dazer and avoid using brute force when installing or operating it.
When choosing the location to install the Elektralite RGBA Dazer, 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 RGBA Dazer and the illuminated surface must be more than 3 feet.
Always mount the Elektralite RGBA Dazer with an appropriate safety cable.
Operate the Elektralite RGBA Dazer only when you are familiar with the features on the fixture. Do not permit operation by
persons not qualified.
All modifications to the Elektralite RGBA Dazer will invalidate the warranty. There are absolutely no exceptions.
If Elektralite RGBA Dazer is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, Elektralite RGBA Dazer
maybe damaged and the guarantee will be void
4. Installation
Ω
Please ensure that the Elektralite RGBA Dazer 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. Make sure the Gel frame (Gel holder) is clipped into position correctly and cannot
come loose.
If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the Elektralite RGBA Dazer 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 RGBA Dazer 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. Grounding.
Always make sure that there is sufficient grounding (earth) for the fixture. This is not only imperative within the circuit that the
fixture is being connected to, but also make sure there is sufficient grounding into the building. All fixtures regardless of
manufacturer have a surge at initial “turn-on”. Once initial “turn-on” is complete, the surge current (per fixture) will travel
down the ground. While each 20 Amp circuit may have the correct size of ground wire, the ground input to the building
and/or electrical panel may not be sufficient for the job. Please review this with the electrical contractor. The elektraLite
RGBA Dazer has a surge current over and above its operating current of approximately 1 Amp at 120 volts. Lack of a
sufficient ground cable into the building or on the individual circuits can cause severe damage to the fixture and this is not
covered under the warranty.
6. DMX-512 Control Connection
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 RGBA Dazer. Then daisy-chain out of the first
Elektralite RGBA Dazer into the next Elektralite RGBA Dazer 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 RGBA Dazer or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.
