■ Health advice
This unit produces and absorbs electromagnetic radiation. The strength of radiation and
the sensitivity for disturbing interference matches the CE and FCC requirements. A
corresponding sign is printed on the backside of the unit. Any change or modification
may affect the behavior of the unit concerning electromagnetic radiation, with the CE
requirements eventually not to be met any more. The manufacturer takes no
responsibility in this case.
■ Functional advice
This unit is immune to the presence of electromagnetic disturbances – both conducted
and radiated - up to a certain level. Under peak conditions, the unit is classified to show
a “class C” performance criteria and may encounter temporary degradation or loss of
function which may need manual help to recover. In such case, disconnect the AC
power from the unit and reconnect it again to recover.
■ Environmental advice
This unit is built to conform to the ROHS standards and the WEEE
directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of
the European Union. Under these regulations, the product shall not be
discarded into regular garbage at the end of its life, but shall be returned
to authorized recycling stations.
■ LED Lifetime advice
LED lifetime is determined by the gradually declining brightness of a LED over time,
with a point of 50% brightness reduction marking the defined end of its lifetime. The
driving factor of this effect is the heat that the chip inside the LED is exposed to. While
a chip may under ideal circumstances reach to more than 100000 hours of lifetime, the
real-world lifetime may only be 30000 to 50000 hours or less if the LED is exposed to
excessive heat, which can be caused by continuously running all LEDs inside this
device at full power and operating the unit in high environmental temperatures. If
improving the lifespan expectancy is a priority, take care of providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include forced external cooling and/or the reduction
of overall projection intensity.
■ Unpacking
Please check that the box contains the following items, and contact your dealer
immediately for replacement if any part is missing:

safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can
drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
• Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing the
fixture. Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted
persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
• 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 re-inspected every year.
• Make sure to comply with applicable cooling requirements if any.
■ Getting started: making AC supply connections
Risk of fire
/
Safety risk
The VersoClub-HT3012 requires an AC power source with sufficient
power carriage and correct grounding to ensure safe operation. The AC
power source must be equipped with a circuit breaker and earth
leakage detector. Make sure to only use compliant AC supply lines.
The VersoClub-HT3012 has an AC outlet that is designed to carry loads
of no more than 8A. Make sure that all connected devices in a chain fed
by the first device do not exceed a maximum of 8A current
consumption.
■ Getting started: making DMX control connections
Connect the VersoClub-HT3012 to a suitable DMX controller where needed, and
interconnect several units by means of their DMX In/Outputs as required. The last unit
shall be equipped with a proper 120 Ohm termination resistor equipped DMX-plug as
shown in below drawing. Please make sure that all used DMX cables comply to below
standard:
User Manual: VersoClub-HT3012
V2.00 (01-2014) 13
The output level (brightness) can be set in 10 levels: 10% | 20% | 30% | 40% | 50% |
60% | 70% | 80% | 90% | 100%. To do this with the on-board user interface, the user
must change into COLOR mode first and make a global brightness adjustment as
described in the COLOR mode chapter. For units fitted with the optional IR remote
control, the brightness can also be set directly using the LEVEL UP/DOWN buttons on
the IR remote.
If the unit is controlled by the optional IR remote control, further parameters apply as
follows:
• When activating the STROBE function (Strobe RED/GREEN/BLUE/WHITE
buttons) on the IR remote control, the unit will return to previously chosen
pattern preset upon pressing the STROBE function on the IR remote again.
Note that the strobe speed is fixed at 16Hz and cannot be changed. Also note
that the strobe function always applies to all panels with the same color.
• Once Blackout is activated by the IR remote control, the previous operation
mode is stored and recalled once Blackout is cleared by pressing the relative
button on the IR remote again.
• The IR remote is only active when the unit is in C, A and S modes. If you
intend to control the unit by IR remote, make sure by relative setting on the
unit itself that the unit is NOT in any DMX mode.
In “S” mode, the unit does not receive any values from the DMX input but generates
related DMX values on the output (12CH) according to the selected pattern, so that
further units can show the same behaviour if they are connected by DMX signal cables
and set to DMX mode “d12” with starting channel = 001. If you leave “S” for any reason
and come back later into any of these modes, the unit will recall the last chosen pattern
(even if the unit was switched off in between).
Patterns for A and S Modes
A0 (fading) | A10 (switching) | S0 (S2L fading) | S10 (S2L switching)
Plays pattern 1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8, each 4 times in a cycle. Transition is switching
in Switch Pattern mode, and fading in Fade pattern mode.
A1 (fading) | A11 (switching) | S1 (S2L fading) | S11 (S2L switching)
A color-change on all panels at the same time. Transition is switching in
Switch Pattern mode, and fading in Fade pattern mode.
A2 (fading) | A12 (switching) | S2 (S2L fading) | S12 (S2L switching)
A ZIP up-down. Transition is switching in Switch Pattern mode, and fading in
Fade pattern mode.
A3 (fading) | A13 (switching) | S3 (S2L fading) | S13 (S2L switching)
A ZIP-Replacement pattern with all 4 panels on, but replacing one color by
another in a ZIP up-down manner. Transition is switching in Switch Pattern
mode, and fading in Fade pattern mode.

The output level (brightness) can be set in 10 levels: 10% | 20% | 30% | 40% | 50% |
60% | 70% | 80% | 90% | 100%. To do this with the on-board user interface, the user
must change into COLOR mode first and make a global brightness adjustment as
described in the COLOR mode chapter. For units fitted with the optional IR remote
control, the brightness can also be set directly using the LEVEL UP/DOWN buttons on
the IR remote.
If the unit is controlled by the optional IR remote control, further parameters apply as
follows:
• When activating the STROBE function (Strobe RED/GREEN/BLUE/WHITE
buttons) on the IR remote control, the unit will return to previously chosen
pattern preset upon pressing the STROBE function on the IR remote again.
Note that the strobe speed is fixed at 16Hz and cannot be changed. Also note
that the strobe function always applies to all panels with the same color.
• Once Blackout is activated by the IR remote control, the previous operation
mode is stored and recalled once Blackout is cleared by pressing the relative
button on the IR remote again.
• The IR remote is only active when the unit is in C, A and S modes. If you
intend to control the unit by IR remote, make sure by relative setting on the
unit itself that the unit is NOT in any DMX mode.
In “A” mode, the unit does not receive any values from the DMX input but generates
related DMX values on the output (12CH) according to the selected pattern, so that
further units can show the same behaviour if they are connected by DMX signal cables
and set to DMX mode “d12” with starting channel = 001. If you leave “A” for any reason
and come back later into any of these modes, the unit will recall the last chosen pattern
(even if the unit was switched off in between).
“S” Sound-to-Light Mode
Press the MODE button on the unit itself until the display shows “Sxx”, indicating
operation in “S” (S2L=sound-to-light) mode. The S Mode contains 20 different patterns,
10 thereof with fading transition (Patterns S0…S9) and 10 thereof with switching
transition (patterns S10…S19). The patterns can be chosen by the UP/DOWN buttons
on the unit itself or for units fitted with the optional IR remote control, via the selection of
S2L mode and then selecting FADE or SWITCH and pressing the respective number
key for pattern selection. For a description of the available patterns, see section
“Patterns for A and S Modes”.
In “S” mode, the pattern progress is driven by the music signal picked up by the internal
microphone in the following way: l
• In pattern presets S0….S9, every detected beat will temporarily speed up the
color fade, creating a “pulsating” effect in synchronization with the music.
• In pattern presets S10….S19, every detected beat will switch to the next
pattern step, creating a “chasing” effect in synchronization with the music.

Upon the user’s choice, the unit can work in stand-alone automatic modes, or with fixed
colors, or it may be controlled by an optional infrared (IR) remote control or by external
DMX-controllers. Available modes:
“C” Color Mode
Press the MODE button until the first digit on the display shows “Cxx”, indicating
operation in “C” mode with chosen preset “xx”, then choose by using the UP/DOWN
buttons one of the 20 color presets as shown in the list below. For units fitted with the
optional IR remote control, press the COLOR button on the IR remote respectively; the
first ten color presets (00…09) are available via IR remote by pressing the number keys
0…9 on the IR remote accordingly.
The output level (brightness) can be set in 10 levels: 10% | 20% | 30% | 40% | 50% |
60% | 70% | 80% | 90% | 100%. This is done by pressing and holding the MODE button

and then pressing the UP or DOWN buttons to change the brightness. The current level
is displayed while making the adjustment. Note that the brightness setting using the onboard user interface can only be done in COLOR mode and is a global setting for all
stand-alone modes, which means that the same chosen brightness remains applicable
for the AUTO mode as well. The brightness chosen on the unit itself however has no
influence in any of the DMX modes. For units fitted with the optional IR remote control,
the brightness can also be set using the LEVEL UP/DOWN buttons. The controls on
the unit itself and on the IR remote supersede each other with the last command given
having validity.
If the unit is controlled by the optional IR remote control, further parameters apply as
follows:
• When activating the STROBE function (Strobe RED/GREEN/BLUE/WHITE
buttons) on the IR remote control from within the C (COLOR) Mode, the unit
will return to the C (COLOR) Mode in previously chosen Color preset upon
pressing the STROBE function on the IR remote again. Note that the strobe
speed is fixed at 16Hz and cannot be changed. Also note that the strobe
function always applies to all 4 panels with the same color.
• Once Blackout is activated by the IR remote control, the previous operation
mode is stored and recalled once Blackout is cleared by pressing the relative
button on the IR remote again.
• The IR remote is only active when the unit is in C and A modes. If you intend
to control the unit by IR remote, make sure by relative setting on the unit itself
that the unit is NOT in any DMX mode.
In “C” mode, the unit does not receive any values from the DMX input but generates
related DMX values on the output (12CH) according to the selected preset, so that
further units can show the same behaviour if they are connected by DMX signal cables
and set to DMX mode “d12” with starting channel = 001. If you leave mode “C” for any
reason and come back later into mode “C”, the unit will recall the last chosen color
preset (even if the unit was switched off in between).

“A” Auto Mode
Press the MODE button on the unit itself until the display shows “Axx”, indicating
operation in “A” mode. The A Mode contains 24 different patterns, 10 thereof with
fading transition (Patterns A0…A9) and 10 thereof with switching transition (patterns
10…19) and 4 thereof as strobe patterns (patterns 20…23). The patterns can be
chosen by the UP/DOWN buttons on the unit itself or for units fitted with the optional IR
remote control, via the selection of AUTO mode and then selecting FADE or SWITCH
and pressing the respective number key for pattern selection. For a description of the
available patterns, see section “Patterns for A and S Modes”.
The units will run on a fixed speed can be changed in 10 steps by two different ways:
• by pressing the MENU button on the unit itself for two seconds or longer – the
display then (instead of going to the next menu) jumps to speed setting mode
and shows the below choices, which can be chosen by the UP and DOWN
buttons. Once the desired speed is set, release the MENU button. Note that
the speed setting using the on-board user interface can only be done in AUTO
mode.
• by the IR remote control where the 10 speed levels SP0…SP9 can be chosen
with the SPPED UP and SPPED DOWN buttons
The controls on the unit itself and on the IR remote supersede each other with the last
command given having validity.
Note: if instead of a fixed speed the unit is supposed to run in Sound-to-light (S2L)
mode, the “S” mode must be chosen or the SOUND button. On the IRC must be
pressed.
