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 XPLO-15 LED Strobe
Power cable Neutrik Powercon True1 to Schuko 1,5 m (90471)
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 life expectancy is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall projection intensity.

Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy-chained in a single line. To comply with the
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 power link: 26 fixtures @ 240V

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 of 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.
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
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link: 13 fixtures @ 100V

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 28 channels. When using multiple Infinity’s, 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+28=29 (029); the DMX address of the third Infinity should be 29+28=57 (057), etc. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Infinity correctly. If two or more Infinity’s are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
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 there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED“ on the control panel will not flash. 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
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.
swapped in the input connector.
When no button is pressed for 35 seconds, the display will turn off. To light up the display, you have to press one of the 10 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 Infinity XPLO-15 LED Strobe 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. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light­output very quickly. 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.

Troubleshooting

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.

No Light

If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. Suspect three potential problem areas as: the power supply and the LEDs.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LEDs. Return the Infinity to your Infinity dealer.
03) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
04) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Power Spot, as this may
damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
05) Return the device to your Infinity 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.
