If the spotlight is to be put out of operation
definitively, take it to a local recycling plant
for a disposal which is not harmful to the
environment.
3 Applications
This spotlight is suited for applications on stage, in
discothèques and party rooms or for decoration purposes. It creates coloured light via extra bright 5 mm
LEDs in blue, red, and green. Music-controlled colour
changes, gradual transitions from one colour to another, and stroboscopic effects will be possible.
The spotlight is designed for control via a DMX
light controller (4 DMX control channels), however, it
can also be operated without a controller or with the
remote control LC-3 available as an accessory.
4 Mounting
•
Always place the spotlight in such a way that a
sufficient air circulation will be ensured during operation. Never cover the air vents of the housing
(e. g. by curtains).
•
The minimum distance to the illuminated object
should be 10 cm.
1) Fasten the mounting bracket (9) to the housing of
the spotlight by means of the two knob screws (1).
2) Fasten the spotlight via the mounting bracket (9),
e. g. with a stable mounting screw or a support for
lighting units (C-hook) on a cross bar.
For mounting the spotlight on a ceiling or a
wall, screw the mounting plate (7) to the mounting
brack et according to figure 1. Find a suitable place
on the ceiling or wall and screw on the mounting
plate with the spotlight.
WARNING
Mount the spotlight safely and expertly. If the spotlight is installed at
a place where people may walk or sit
under it, additionally secure it (e. g. by
a safety rope fixed to the mount ing bracket; fasten
the safety rope in such a way that, even in the event
of a fall, the maximum falling distance of the spotlight will not exceed 20 cm).
3)
To adjust the spotlight, release the two locking
screws (1) at the mounting bracket. Adjust the desired inclination of the spotlight, then retighten
the screws.
If the spotlight is screwed to the mounting
plate (7), slightly release the screw (8), if necessary, turn the mounting bracket (9) as desired, then
retighten the screw.
5 Setting the Spotlight into
Operation
WARNING Never look directly into the LEDs; this
may cause eye damage.
Please note that fast changes in lighting, e. g. flashing light, may trigger
epileptic seizures with photosensitive
persons or persons with epilepsy!
To switch on the spotlight, connect the plug of the
mains cable (6) to a socket (230 V/ 50 Hz); to switch it
off, disconnect it.
For a more convenient operation, it is recommended to connect the spotlight to a mains socket
which is switched on and off via a light switch.
Caution: Do not connect the spotlight to the mains
voltage via a dimmer!
6 Operation without Controller
If the spotlight does not receive any DMX control signal, it will automatically change colours by gradual
transition from one colour to another.
If music is played at sufficient volume with a clear
rhythm in the bass range, the spotlight will change
colours to the beat of the music, controlled via an
internal microphone. If the music control should fail to
operate optimally, increase the volume or reduce the
distance between the sound source and the spotlight.
6.1 Interconnecting several spotlights
Several PARL-30SPOT may be interconnected in order
to change colours in sync or to control all slave units
to the same rhythm via the internal microphone of
the master unit.
For this purpose, connect the output DMX OUT
(3) of the master unit via a 3-pole XLR cable (e. g.
series CDMXN-… from the product range of IMG
STAGE LINE) to the input DMX IN (4) of the first slave
unit. Connect the output DMX OUT of the first slave
unit to the input DMX IN of the second slave unit, etc.
6.2 Remote control via LC-3
The remote control LC-3 available as an accessory
allows to control various functions in addition to the
music control.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack REMOTE
CONTROL (2).
2) There must be no DMX signal at the input DMX
IN (4).
3)
Via the output DMX OUT (3), further PARL-30SPOT
units may be connected (☞chap ter 6.1) in order
to control them together with the master unit via
the remote control.
