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

 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!

Male/Female IEC power cable to connect this output with the mains input of the next Party Spot for easier linking up to 10A. you can also use our [JB Systems Combi Cable] to link power and dmx signal with one cable.

5. DISPLAY shows the various menus and the selected functions.

6. MODE button: used to browse the different functions in the menu

7. UP button: to increase the values shown on the display.

8. DOWN button: to lower the values shown on the display.

9. ENTER button: used to confirm your choice or to enter the setup

mode of a function.

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.

 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 12times 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.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

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:

 Insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in the last selected mode.  Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to switch between the different working modes.

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

 Connect several units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that has no

cable connected to its DMX-input is the “master”, the others are the slave units.

 Select DMX channel mode [8ch] and DMX address 001 for all the slaves.

(Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP for more information)

 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.  Done!

Electrical installation for two or more units 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 good quality 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!

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

the controller it has to decode. In the section HOW TO SETUP you will learn how to set the DMX addresses. If for example you use the 4 channel DMX mode, a possible address setup could be: unit1 = 001 ~ unit2 = 005 ~ unit3 = 009 ~ unit4 = 013 ~ etc.

HOW TO SETUP:

DMX512 Address Setting Used to set the start address in a DMX setup.

 Press the MENU button until Axxx (A followed by 3 numbers) is shown on the display.  Use the DOWN and UP buttons to change the DMX address.  Once the correct address is shown on the display, press the ENTER button to confirm.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

A. Standalone 1unit:

 Just connect the projector to the mains.  Select one of the automatic, sound or static color modes

(Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to make the settings)

B. Standalone: several units in master/slave configuration:

 Connect all the projectors to the mains.  Select one of the automatic, sound or static color modes in the Master unit (the first unit in the chain

that has no DMX cable connected to its input. (Refer to chapter HOW TO SETUP to learn how to make the settings)

 Select DMX channel mode [8ch] and DMX address 001 for all the slaves.  The slave units will now follow the orders of the master unit and execute the same patterns.

C. Controlled by a universal DMX-controller:

 Connect all units together. Refer to the chapter “Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-

mode” to learn how to do this (don’t forget to address all units properly!)

 Connect all units to the mains and turn on the DMX controller.  Put the projector in DMX mode: select A…(A followed by 3 numbers) and select the DMX address you

need.

 If no DMX signal is received, the display will blink.

Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit uses 4, 6 or 8 DMX-channels, depending on the DMX-mode you have selected in the menu. See the different DMX charts below:
