ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING

Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.

Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:

 Just insert the mains cable.
 When there is no DMX cable connected to the DMX input, the unit will start working immediately in

stand-alone mode.

 You can adapt the standalone mode to your own taste. Just make the desired settings in the main menu.

(see the previous chapter “how to set up / Main Menu / Manual Settings”)

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control. Refer to
“how to operate the unit” to learn how to do this.

Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:

 Connect several units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit of the

chain must have no DMX cable connected to its DMX input and must be set to master mode, the other
units must be set to slave mode (SL 1). See the previous chapter for more information.

 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Done!
 You can adapt the standalone mode to your own taste. Just make the desired settings in the main menu

of the MASTER unit. (see the previous chapter “how to set up / Main Menu / Manual Settings”)

Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the “Master” unit if you want to have more control.
Refer to “how to operate the unit” to learn how to do this.

Electrical installation in DMX-mode:

 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 units with a balanced cable of good quality.

 Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these

cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
Pin layout XLR-3pin:
Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.

Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)

 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!
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows

which commands from the controller it has to decode.
Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user manual which starting addresses you have to set
because this completely depends on the controller you will use… So please refer to the user manual of
your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you must set.

DMX-CONFIGURATION

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.

Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
