SAFETY

General instruction

• The products referred to in this manual conform to the European Community Directives and are therefore marked with .

• The unit is supplied with hazardous network voltage (230V~). Leave servicing to skilled personnel only. Never make any modications on the unit not described in this instruction manual, otherwise you will risk an electric shock.

• Connection must be made to a power supply system tted with ecient earthing (Class I appliance according to standard EN 60598-1). It is, moreover, recommended to protect the supply lines of the units from indirect contact and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current devices.

• The connection to the main network of electric distribution must be carried out by a qualied electrical installer. Check that the main frequency and voltage correspond to those for which the unit is designed as given on the electrical data label.

• This unit is not for home use, only professional applications.

• Never use the xture under the following conditions:

- in places wet;

2.1 MOUNTING

The PIXIESPOT may be set up on a solid and even surface. By means of the xing facilities of the baseplate, the unit can also be mounted upside down to a cross arm. The base plate is shown in g.3. For xing, stable mounting clips are required. According to the gure, the bolts of the brackets are placed into the openings provided in the base plate and turned clockwise until they lock (to the stop). Always ensure that the unit is rmly xed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. The mounting place must be of sucient stability and be able to support a weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. When carrying out any installation, always comply scrupulously with all the regulations (particularly regarding safety) currently in force in the country in which the xture’s being used. Always additionally secure the projector with the safety rope from falling down. For this purpose, fasten the safety rope at a suitable position so that the maximum fall of the projector will be 20 cm.

PIXIESPOT

Several units may be interconnected; follow the instructions below:

1. Connect the DMX OUT of the master unit via 3-pole XLR cable to the DMX IN of the rst slave unit.

2. Connect the DMX OUT of the rst slave unit to the DMX IN of the second slave unit, etc. until all units are connected in a chain.

Use standard DMX cables to daisy chain your units together via the DMX connector on the rear of the units. For longer cable runs we suggest a terminator at the last xture (see page 13).

3.4 DMX ADDRESSING

To set DMX addressing follow the instructions below:

• Press the button LEFT to enter the menu mode.

• Use the buttons UP/DOWN to select the DMX Functions item. Press the button ENTER to conrm.

• Press the buttons UP/DOWN to select the DMX Address item. Then press the button ENTER to conrm.

• Press the buttons UP/DOWN to select the desired value 001-512; Then press the button ENTER to conrm.

• Press repeatedly the button LEFT to return the menu mode.

To able to operate the PIXIESPOT with a light controller, adjust the DMX start address for the rst a DMX channel. If e. g. address 33 on the controller is provided for controlling the function of the rst DMX channel, adjust the start address 33 on the PIXIESPOT. The other functions of the light eect panel are then automatically assigned to the following addresses.

3.5 CONNECTION OF THE DMX LINE

DMX connection employs standard XLR connectors. Use shielded pair-twisted cables with 120Ω impedance and low capacity. The following diagram shows the connection mode:

ATTENTION The screened parts of the cable (sleeve) must never be connected to the system’s earth, as this would cause faulty xture and controller operation. Over long runs can be necessary to insert a DMX level matching amplier. For those connections the use of balanced microphone cable is not recommended because it cannot transmit control DMX data reliably.

• Connect the controller DMX input to the DMX output of the rst unit.

• Connect the DMX output to the DMX input of the following unit. Connect again the output to the input of the following unit until all the units are connected in chain.

• When the signal cable has to run longer distance is recommended to insert a DMX termination on the last unit.

3.6 CONSTRUCTION OF THE DMX TERMINATION

The termination avoids the risk of DMX 512 signals being reected back along the cable when they reaches the end of the line: under certain conditions and with certain cable lengths, this could cause them to cancel the original signals. The termination is prepared by soldering a 120Ω 1/4 W resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the 3-pin male XLR connector, as shown in gure.
