If the device has been exposed to drastic temperature uctuation (e.g. after transportation), do not switch it on

immediately. The arising condensation water might damage your device. Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

The product never must be covered with cloth or other materials during operation.

1. Description

The HALO RGB (W) is a LED ring mountable on a stage reector PAR 64. The HALO Driver is a control unit for the Halo RGB (W). Up to 6 HALO RGB (W) units can be connected to the HALO Driver.

1 - LED ring

2 - Control input

3 - Power OUT 4 - DMX IN 5 - LED port 1 6 - LED port 3 7 - LED port 5

8 - Clamp 9 - Safety attachment eyelet

10- Power IN

11- Fuse holder

12- DMX OUT 13- LED port 2 14- LED port 4 15- LED port 6 16- Dip switch 17 -Signal LED

2. Installation

Design of the HALO Driver allows to connect several xtures to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and throughput connectors.The max. number of connected xtures depends on the AC mains power voltage and xture version: EU version (CE) US version (cETLus) 10 xtures at power supply= 230V 6 xtures at power supply= 230V 9 xtures at power supply= 208V 5 xtures at power supply= 208V 5 xtures at power supply= 120V 3 xtures at power supply= 120V Actual numbers of xtures may differ from values stated above as you have to take into account the length of supply cables, circuit breaker etc. at projecting of the xtures installation Do not overload the supply line and

the connecting leads.

Wiring and connection work must be carried out by qualied staff!

The Halo Driver is equipped with the clamp for rigging on a truss. �or securing the HALO Driver to the truss,�or securing the HALO Driver to the truss, install a safety wire that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the xture. Use only the safety wire with a snap hook with screw lock gate. �asten the snap hook in the safety attachment eyelet and the safety wire around

the truss.

DMX start address setting

The DMX start address, is the rst channel used to receive instructions from the DMX controller. The address may be any channel from 1 to 510 and is set on the Address DIP switch.

Examples

Control mode setting

The last three DIP switches dene control modes.

DIPs

Control Mode 10 11 12 Function

24 CH Intelli�lex Mode OFF OFF OFF Uses 24 Channel Personality to control each Halo Ring.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's19. Each subsequent port is 24 channelsLater.

3 CH Strobe Mode ON OFF OFF Uses 3 Channel Strobe Personality to control each Halo

Ring.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's 19. Each subsequent port is 3 channels Later .

3 CH RGB Mode ON ON OFF Uses 3 Channel RGB Personality to control each Halo

Ring.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's 19. Each subsequent port is 3 channels Later .

Direct Mapping Mode OFF ON OFF Pixel Map each Halo Ring using 72 Channels.

Uses Start Address for rst port as dened by DIP's 19. Each subsequent port is 72 channels Later .

Intelli-Mappping Mode X X ON All 6 ports use the same 24 Channel Personality.

When Pixel Mapping Engine is active,it will work in a simi-

lar way to the direct mapping map, but will start the map

25 channels later that the start address (72 Channels per Port).

X = position ignored

ALWAYS DISCONNECT THE HALO DRIVER FROM MAINS BEFORE SETTING THE DIP SWITCHES.
