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-741 RDM with PowerCON 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.

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: 3 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @230V: 6 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.

Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Infinity will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 20 channels.
When using multiple Infinitys, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Infinity should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second Infinity
should be 1+20=21 (021); the DMX address of the third Infinity should be 21+20=41 (041), etc.
Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control each Infinity correctly.
If two or more Infinity’s are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing”.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Infinity fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Infinity will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If
not the problem may be:
The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Infinity.
The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
Display Off after 35 seconds
When no button is pressed for 35 seconds, the display will turn off.
To light up the display, you have to press any of the buttons on the control panel.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Showtec Infinity iW-741 RDM requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit
clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power
supply and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Wipe the front glass panel clean with glass cleaner
and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. The front glass panel will require weekly cleaning, as
smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light output very quickly. Do not immerse in liquid.
The cooling-fans and the internal lenses should be cleaned monthly with a soft brush.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below.
01) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the fuse cover. Turn the screwdriver to the left, at the same time
gently push a bit (Turn and Push). The fuse will come out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

Troubleshooting
No Light
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit
operates properly, do not carry out following steps.
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Suspect four potential problem areas as: factory reset, the power supply, the LEDs, the fuse.
First try to reset the device to its original factory default settings (3. Settings Menu see page 17).
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LEDs. Return the Infinity to your Showtec dealer.
03) The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 27 for replacing the fuse.
04) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Infinity, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction.
01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.
02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with
other DMX products ? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light
effect to a qualified technician.

Problem
Probable cause(s)
Remedy
One or more
fixtures do not
function at all.
No power to the fixture.
Check if power is switched on and
cables are plugged in.
Primary fuse blown.
Replace fuse.
Fixtures reset
correctly, but all
respond erratically
or not at all to the
controller.
The controller is not connected.
Connect controller.
3-pin/5-pin XLR Out of the
controller does not match XLR Out
of the first fixture on the link (i.e.
signal is reversed).
Install a phase reversing cable
between the controller and the first
fixture on the link.
Fixtures reset
correctly, but
some respond
erratically or not at
all to the
controller.
Poor data quality
Check data quality. If much lower than
100 percent, the problem may be a
bad data link connection, poor quality
or broken cables, missing termination
plug, or a defective fixture disturbing
the link.
Bad data link connection
Inspect connections and cables.
Correct poor connections. Repair or
replace damaged cables.
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug.
Insert termination plug in output jack of
the last fixture on the link.
Incorrect addressing of the fixtures.
Check address setting.
One of the fixtures is defective and
disturbs data transmission on the
link.
Bypass one fixture at a time until
normal operation is regained: unplug
both connectors and connect them
directly together.
Have the defective fixture serviced by
a qualified technician.
3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does
not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed).
Install a phase-reversing cable
between the fixtures or swap pin 2 and
3 in the fixture that behaves erratically.
No light or LEDs cut
out intermittently
Fixture is too hot.
Allow fixture to cool.
Clean fan.
Make sure air vents are not blocked.
Turn up the air conditioning .
LEDs damaged
Disconnect fixture and return to your
dealer.
The power supply settings do not
match local AC voltage and
frequency.
Disconnect fixture. Check settings and
correct if necessary.
