Caring for your Wasp 100-C™
MAINTENANCE
Help prevent damage and prolong the life of your equipment by following following these suggestions:
• With the unit unplugged, lightly clean the outer metal housing with a soft, clean towel and compressed air.
• Clean the control panel with cotton swabs wetted with isopropyl alcohol.
• Clean the reflector and lenses with a dry chamois or compressed air. Avoid touching any of these components with your fingers directly.
• (DAMAGE ASSET) Do not operate product when operating environment is in excess of 120℉.
• (DAMAGE ASSET) Do not misuse the power connector to hold, move or suspend the fixture.
page 10
• Disconnect all cables prior to transport.
• Store light in a cool dry place (between 5 - 20°C) .
TROUBLESHOOTING
It is rare but possible for the reflector to become unfixed, either during transport or during storage. If this happens, simply re-secure it by twisting it clockwise until the reflector plate engages the pins locking it into place.
It is generally acceptable to operate the light on external shoots but when operating the light in damp or wet conditions be sure to monitor the light to ensure that no water is accumulating inside of the housing.
When using a battery pack, remember that the light uses 80W when at full output. This requires a battery with a minimum power rating of 90Wh, although we recommend batteries rated for 100 Wh or higher and with a minimum 10 amp hour fuse. Exact run time is based on the individual battery’s storage capacity.
If you need to adjust one of many Wasp 100-C™ units via the app and have forgotten what it is named in the app’s scan results, try reducing the Bluetooth Discovery Distance to 1 meter (avail in the app’s main settings) and rescan with your phone next to the specific light in question.

2. Turn the light on by flipping the power switch to the “on” position (up), located on the control panel. This will cause the power indicator light to illuminate.
page 18
NOTE: Remember that the light uses 80W per second when at full output. This requires a battery with a minimum power rating of 90Wh, although we recommend batteries rated for 100 Wh or higher and with a minimum 10 amp hour fuse. Exact run time is based on the individual battery’s storage capacity.
Firmware Updates
The Wasp 100-C™ is designed to receive periodic firmware updates, which will be made available via Hive. Once notified, connect your unit to your computer via a USB cable using the USB port in order to complete the firmware installation.
Perfect S.H.O.T. Controls
The light emitted by the Wasp 100-C™ can be configured via Hive’s Perfect S.H.O.T. system, which controls these four properties:
• Saturation (denoted by “S” on the display)
• Hue (denoted by “H” on the display)
• Output or Dimming (denoted by “D” on the display)
• Color Temperature (denoted by “K” for degrees in Kelvin when in local mode, or by “C” when in DMX mode.)
page 19
There are three ways to use the Perfect S.H.O.T system:
1. Locally, using the light’s own digital control panel. Local control is useful for those who don’t have access to a DMX board, or who are working on simpler projects.
2. Via a DMX board (purchased separately). When in this mode, the Perfect S.H.O.T. system is controlled via this external device, with a fifth property - the board’s starting address - controlled on the light itself.
3. Via the Hive iOS App, which allows your iphone or ipad to control the app via a bluetooth connection.
LOCAL CONTROL
1. Engage Local Mode: Flip the DMX On/Off Switch to the down position, causing the DMX light to turn off. You are now in LOCAL MODE, and the digital display will look like this:
IMPORTANT: In local mode, color temperature is indicated by the letter “K” because the color temperature range of 1650 - 8000 is in degrees Kelvin.
page 20
2. Select Property With Left Dial: Turn the left dial in either direction to toggle through the four properties.
3. Select Property Value with Right Dial: There are two ways to select the property value with the right dial:
a. Fine Adjustment: Press the right dial in
slightly, then continue to press in the dial while turning in either direction to change the active property’s value by increments of 1. (The exception is Color Temperature, which adjusts in increments of 25).
b. Coarse Adjustment: Turn the right dial in either
direction. The active property’s value will now change in increments of 10 (with Color Temperature incrementing by 100).
NOTE: Local Mode will always default to the last setting it had before being turned off.
DMX MODE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect DMX Board: Connect your DMX512­compliant device to the Wasp 100-C™ via the DMX “In” Socket on the right side of the Control Panel
2. Engage DMX Mode: Flip the DMX Mode On/ Off Switch to the up position, causing the DMX indicator light to turn on. This light tells you that you are now in DMX mode and can use a DMX board to control the light. Your digital display will look like this and will register value changes via the
page 21
connected DMX board:
3. Adjust Starting Address: You will also notice that there is a fifth symbol when in DMX mode - “A”. This indicates the light’s starting address, and its value determines which controls on the DMX board are used to operate the light. The starting address can be any value between 1 and 512. Selecting the one you want can be achieved in two different ways via the control panel’s Right Dial:
a. Fine Adjustment: Press the right dial in
slightly, then continue to press in the dial while turning in either direction to change the active property’s value by increments of 1.
b. Coarse Adjustment: Turn the right dial in either
direction. The starting address’ value will now change in increments of 10.
NOTE: Any values for S, H, D & C that have been provided by the DMX board will persist even after the DMX board has been unplugged. Conversely, if the controls on the DMX board are adjusted post-separation and then the board is reconnected, the light will read the updated values, overwriting the previous ones.
page 22
APP CONTROL (VIA BLUETOOTH)
1. Download the iOS app to your iphone or ipad that is running iOS 8.1 or later as well as Bluetooth 4.0 or later.
2. Make sure Wasp 100-C™ is on.
3. Turn on your iOS device’s bluetooth connection.
4. Open the app on your device & Click “Scan.”
5. Find your Wasp 100-C™ in the scan results, indicated by the serial number of the LED array itself. This is the unique address of the light.
6. Click on your light in scan results and your mobile device will attempt to make a bluetooth connection.
7. Once connected, use the sliders for the four S.H.O.T. properties to control the light wirelessly. Your unit will respond in real time. For more information on the value ranges in the app, see the tables on the following pages.
NOTE: Control of the light via the app will override any input from DMX board or local controls. However, adjustment of S.H.O.T. values in app will NOT be reflected in the light’s digital display.
