electricaland mechanical safety in your country.
Checkthat the available voltage isnot higher than the one stated on the rear panel of the unit.
Thepower cord shouldalways be in perfectcondition. Switch the unit immediatelyoff when the power cord
is squashed or damaged. It must be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent or similarly qualified
persons inorder to avoid a hazard.
Never let the power-cord come into contact with other cables!
This fixture mustbe earthed to in order comply with safetyregulations.
Don’tconnect the unitto any dimmer pack.
Always use an appropriateand certified safety cable when installing the unit.
In order to prevent electric shock, do notopen the cover.Apart from the lamp and mains fuse there are no
user serviceable parts inside.
Never repair a fuse or bypass the fuse holder. Always replace a damaged fuse with a fuse of the same
type and electricalspecifications!
In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
Thehousing and the lenses must be replaced if they are visibly damaged.
Please use the original packing when the device is to be transported.
Dueto safetyreasons it is prohibited to make unauthorized modificationsto the unit.
Important:
from epilepsy.

DESCRIPTION:
1. Fuseholder
2. ¼” jack used to connect the optional CA-8
controller.
3. DMX input: 3pin male XLR-connector used to
connect universal DMX-cables. This input
receives instructions from a DMX-controller or
from another unit when used in master/slave
mode.
4. DMX output: 3pin femaleXLR-connector used to
connect the Atlas with the next unit in the DMX
chain or with another Atlas when used in
master/slavemode.
5. Internalmicrophone
6. Earthconnection
7. Mainscable
8. Hanging bracket with 1 knob to fasten the unit
and a mounting holeto fix a mounting hook.
9. DIP switches, used to set the DMX-starting
address of the unit.
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
shouldbe used, the installed device shouldbe inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
andservicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixturemust be fixed at least 50cm fromsurroundingwalls.
Thedevice 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 theunit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachmentfails.
Thedevice should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t coverany ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
Theoperator has to make sure that the safety-relatingand machine-technical installationsare approvedby
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should beinspected every yearby a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
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 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 controllerand all the connected units with a good quality balanced cable.
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 layoutXLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
Pin layoutXLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal(+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
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 useY-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. In the next section you will learn how to set the
DMXaddresses.
How to set the DIP-switches to obtain the right starting address:
DIP #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10
Value 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 Notused
You can combine the valuesof these switches to become any starting address between1 and 512:
Begin address = 01 switch1=ON values:1
Begin address = 05 switch1+3=ON values: 1+4= 5
Begin address = 09 switch1+4=ON values: 1+8= 9
Begin address = 13 switch1+3+4=ON values: 1+4+8 = 13
…
Begin address = 62 switch2+3+4+5+6=ON values:2+4+8+16+32=62
Each of the first 9 DIP-switchescorrespond to a certain DMX-value:
CONTROLLING THE ATLAS
1. Standalone 1unit:
Important:The DMX addressMUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch = ON, all other are OFF)
Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. The unit will start working automatically to the
rhythm of the music.
2. Two or more units in master/slave setup:
Connect2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced XLR microphone cables. Theunit that
has no cable connected to itsinput will react as master,the others are the slave units.
Important:On the master unit the DMX address MUST be set to 001. (first DIP switch = ON, all other are
OFF) The slave units can have any DMX address value but NOT 001!
You can inverse the behavior of one or more slave units by changing the position of DIP-switch n°10 on
these slaves. Just try it and see if the effect becomes better. Changing DIP-switch n°10 on the master has
no effect.
3. Connect the optional CA-8 controller formore control:
The CA-8 controller can only be used in standalone or master/slavemode. Connect the
controllerto the jackinput of the first unit (master). Now you can control all the connected
units:

Use CH3 to changethe strobe frequency of the selected patterns.
Whatare chases?
Chases are a series of patterns putin a loop to create dynamic (moving) effects.
When thevalue of CH1 is set between120 and 239, you can use CH2 to select 25 differentchases.
Use CH3 to change thespeed of the selected chases.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure the areabelow the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and waituntil the unithas been cooled down.
During inspection the following points shouldbe 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.
Whenan optical lens is visibly damaged dueto cracks or deepscratches, it must bereplaced.
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
cleanedmonthly.
Theinteriorof the deviceshould be cleanedannually using a vacuum cleaneror air-jet.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimizelight output. Cleaning frequency depends on theenvironment inwhich the fixtureoperates:damp,
smoky or particularlydirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normalglass cleaningproducts.
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 cleaningto be carried out by qualified personnel!
