www.oppray-light.com PL-W0124 12 x 8W Flat Par User Manual

service and/or cleaning procedure. Only handle the power cord by the plug
end, never pull out the plug by tugging the wire portion of the cord.

• Do not operate this fixture if the power cord has become frayed, crimped
and/or damaged. If the power cord is damaged, replace it immediately with
a new one of similar power rating.

N EV E R O P E N T H I S F I X T U R E WH I LE I N U S E !

• Ensure ALL connections and end caps are properly sealed with a

dielectric grease (available at most electrical suppliers) to prevent
water corrosion and/or electrical short circuit.

During the initial operation of this fixture, a light smoke or smell may
emit from the interior of the fixture. This is a normal process and is
caused by excess paint in the interior of the casing burning off from
the heat associated with the lamp and will decrease gradually over
time.

• This fixture is a professional lighting effect designed for INDOOR / DRY
LOCATIONS ONLY on stage, in nightclubs, theatres, etc.

• Please make sure there are NO FLAMMABLE MATERIALS close to the

CLAMP MOUNTING

When mounting this fixture to truss be sure to secure an
appropriately rated clamp using an M10 screw fitted through the
center hole of the Dual Yoke / Floor Stand.

SECURING

Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your par light always
be sure to secure your fixture with a safety cable.

MOUNTING POINTS

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including
amongst others calculating working load limits, installation material
being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material
and the device. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the
installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury.

SAFETY CABLE

Always use a Safety Cable whenever installing this fixture in a
suspended
environment to ensure the fixture will not drop if the clamp fails.

UNDERSTANDING DMX

DMX-512

DMX is short for Digital Multiplex. This is a universal protocol used
by most lighting and controller manufactures as a form of
communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. DMX
allows all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked

www.oppray-light.com PL-W0124 12 x 8W Flat Par User Manual

together and operate from a single controller. This is possible as
long as all the fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. A DMX
controller sends the DMX data instructions to the fixture allowing the
user to control the different aspects of an intelligent light. DMX data
is sent out as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via data
“IN” and data “OUT” XLR terminals located on the fixtures (most
controllers will only have output jacks).

DMX LINKING

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, always use the IP rated
DMX cables listed in the ACCESSORIES section coming along with
the par light. When using several DMX fixtures try to use the

shortest cable path possible. Never split a DMX line with a “Y” style

connector. The order in which the fixtures are connected in a DMX
line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture
assigned a starting DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in
the DMX chain, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the
middle. The DMX controller knows to send data assigned to address
1 to that fixture no matter where it is located in the DMX chain. The
par light can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol and the DMX
address is set via the control menu.

DATA CABLE (DMX Cable) REQUIREMENTS (For DMX and
Master/Slave Operation)

Your fixture and your DMX controller require a standard 3pin
connector for data input and data output. Also, remember that a
DMX line must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

NOTICE:

www.oppray-light.com PL-W0124 12 x 8W Flat Par User Manual

Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables.
Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or
allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs outer
casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic
behavior.

DMX ADDRESSING

All fixtures should be given a DMX starting address when using a
DMX controller, so the correct fixture responds to the correct control
signal. This digital starting address is the channel number from
which the fixture starts to “listen” to the digital control information
sent out from the DMX controller. The allocation of this starting DMX
address is achieved by setting the correct DMX address on the
display located on the back of the fixture.

www.oppray-light.com PL-W0124 12 x 8W Flat Par User Manual

You can set the same starting address for all fixtures or a group of
fixtures, or set different address for each individual fixture. Be
advised that setting all fixtures to the same DMX address will
subsequently control all fixtures in the same fashion, in other words,
changing the settings of one channel will affect all the fixtures
simultaneously.

If you set each fixture to a different DMX address, each unit will start

to “listen” to the channel number you have set, based on the

quantity of control channels (DMX channels) of each fixture. That
means changing the settings of one channel will only affect the
selected fixture.

In the case of the par light, when in the 9 Channel Mode you should
set the starting DMX address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to
10 (1 + 9), the third unit to 19 (10 + 9), and so on.

CLEANING AND MAINTENANCE

CLEANING

Frequent cleaning is recommended to insure proper function,
optimized light output, and an extended life. The frequency of cleaning
depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty environments can cause greater
accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.

• Clean the external lens surface at least every 20 days with a soft cloth to
avoid dirt/debris accumulation. Never use alcohol, solvents, or ammonia
based cleaners.

MAINTENANCE

Regular inspections are recommended to insure proper function and
extended life. There are no user serviceable parts inside this fixture,
please refer all other service issues to our service technician. Should
you need any spare parts, please order genuine parts from your
dealer.

www.oppray-light.com PL-W0124 12 x 8W Flat Par User Manual

Please refer to the following points during routine inspections:

• A detailed electric check by an approved electrical engineer every 3
months, to make sure the circuit contacts are in good condition and prevent
overheating.

• Be sure all screws and fasteners are securely tightened at all times. Lose
screws may fall out during normal operation resulting in damage or injury.

• Check for any deformations on the housing, color lenses, rigging hardware
and rigging points (ceiling, suspension, trussing). Deformations in the
housing could allow for dust to enter into the fixture. Damaged rigging points
or unsecured rigging could cause the fixture to fall and seriously injure a
person(s).

• Inspect all moving parts and make sure there are no signs of wear and
rotate/move without imbalances.

• Electric power supply cables must not show any damage, material fatigue or

sediments. Never remove the ground prong from the power cable.
