Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.
Your shipment includes:
Infinity iW-340 RDM with PowerCON True 1 power cable (1,4 m)
1 bracket for truss mounting
User manual
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving your lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in providing
for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.
Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:
be qualified
follow the instructions of this manual
Before your initial start-up, please make sure that there is no damage caused by transportation. Should
there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the device.
To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to

Connecting to a Network
ArtNet settings
01) Install any ArtNet-based software on your PC (Windows, Mac or user console with ArtNet support).
02) Connect the power supply to the Infinity.
03) Connect the device’s Ethernet connector (03) to your software/light controller’s Ethernet connector,
using a CAT-5/CAT-6 cable.
04) Set the IP address of your software/light controller to 2.x.x.x or 10.x.x.x, depending on the ArtNet
settings.
05) Set the subnet mask to 255.0.0.0. on both – the Infinity and your software/light controller. Make sure
that all the fixtures in the network have a unique IP address.
06) If you want to connect more than one fixture, follow the example below.
Example:
01) Make sure that each connected Infinity has a unique IP address.
02) Make sure that the subnet mask on each device is set to 255.0.0.0.
03) Set the universe of the first Infinity to 1.
04) Set the first Infinity’s DMX address to 001.
05) If you have reached the DMX limit of 512 channels, while connecting multiple Infinitys, set the
universe of the following Infinity to 2 and its DMX address to 001.
06) Repeat step 5 up to 255 times (as there are 255 universes available).
07) Using your software, map all the connected devices, using the settings described above.
08) The Infinitys are now ready for use.
09) When creating large setups, it is recommended to use a 16-bit, high speed ethernet switch to
distribute the ArtNet data signal.
How to make a data cable
A standard ETHERNET Cable can be used to replace the Data Cable required to transmit the data for the
iW-340 RDM.
Please follow the instructions below in order to create an extra Net Cable.
Take a standard net cable (CAT-5/ 5E /6) and connect it to the RJ45 connector, as shown in the picture
below (fig. 07). The wires should now be colored as follows:

Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX
optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @120V: 8 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @230V: 16 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.
