ENGLISH USER MANUAL
OVERHEAD RIGGING
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
HOW TO SET UP AND CONTROL THE UNIT
You can operate the unit in several ways:
1) FULL AUTOMATIC STANDALONE MODE:
The effect automatically runs a preprogrammed sequence. Select this mode when only 1 LED GLOBE unit
is used (standalone) or when the unit is placed as the first (master) unit in a chain with several LED

–r] = clockwise
Press the [ENTER] button to confirm.
Use the [UP] and [DOWN] buttons to select the speed of motor:
o [M 0] = No rotation.
o [M 1] to [M 100] = rotation slow to fast
2) SOUND CONTROLLED STANDALONE MODE:
The LED GLOBE runs a preprogrammed sequence to the rhythm of the music. Select this mode when
only 1 LED GLOBE is used (standalone) or when the LED GLOBE is placed as the first (master) unit in a
chain with several units.

3) MASTER/SLAVE STANDALONE MODE:
When you have several LED GLOBE units and you want them to all work synchronously, you can work in
the so called master/slave mode. To do this, just daisy-chain all the units and make the settings of the
desired automatic or sound controlled program in the first unit of the chain (see description above). This
unit is called the Master unit. Now put all the other units in slave mode. Once this is done, the “slave” units
will follow the orders of the Master unit, so they work in perfect synchronicity.
To set a unit in slave mode:
Press the [MENU] button until the display shows [SLA].
Press the [ENTER] button to enter this mode.
[SLAV] will appear on the display
Press the [ENTER] button to confirm the slave mode.

Now you can use the [UP/DOWN] buttons to set the DMX address. [dxxx]
Press the [ENTER] button to confirm your choice.
Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of
the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the
end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work!
Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode.

MAINTENANCE
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.
Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.
When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.
The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.
Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.
Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
