Warning
Unpacking Instructions
Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure
that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and
retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear to be damaged from shipping or the carton
itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that the fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and
packing.
LED Expected Lifespan
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration
of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular
optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is
significantly reduced. If improving the lifespan is of higher priority, place care in providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall
projection intensity.

Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of EventBARs 100IR on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of EventBARs 100IR on a Power link: 11 fixtures @110V
Maximum recommended number of EventBARs 100IR on a Power link: 21 fixtures @240V
Fixture Linking
You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixt ures the
data link can support.
The EventBAR 100IR uses up to 24 channels.
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Control Panel
DMX Control Mode
The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the backside of the device allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is
the first channel from which the EventBAR will respond to the controller. Please note when you use the
controller, the unit has up to 24 channels. When using multiple EventBARs, make sure you set the DMX
addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address of the first EventBAR should be 1(d001); the DMX address of
the second EventBAR should be 1+24=25 (d025); the DMX address of the third EventBAR should be
25+24=49 (d049), etc. Please, be sure that you do not have any overlapping channels in order to control
each EventBAR correctly. If two or more EventBARs are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all EventBARs, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the EventBAR will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or
not. The problem may be:
• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the EventBAR.
• The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is defective, or the signal wires are
swapped in the input connector.
Note: It is necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.
When no button is pressed for 10 seconds, the display will turn off. To light up the display, you have to
press the Mode, Setup, Up or Down button. Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.

Maintenance
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by a skilled person once a year.
The following points have to be considered during the inspection:
01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Showtec EventBAR 100IR requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.
Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply and
then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Wipe the front glass panel clean with glass cleaner and a soft
cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. The front glass panel will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid
tends to build up residues, reducing the light-output very quickly. Do not immerse in liquid.
Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections
with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying
electric power.
Replacing a Fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the
fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below:
01) Unplug the unit from electric power source.
02) Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover.
the fuse will come out.
03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to
use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.
Troubleshooting
No Light
This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, follow the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates
properly, do not carry out the following steps.
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Response: Suspect four potential problem areas as the power supply, the LEDs, the fuse and the battery.
01) Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
02) The LEDs. Return the EventBAR 100IR to your Showtec dealer.
03) The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 25 for replacing the fuse.
04) Battery. Check if the battery is fully charged.
05) If all of the above appears to be in order, switch the unit on again.
06) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the EventBAR 100IR, as this
may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
07) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.
No Response to DMX
Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card
malfunction.
01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.
02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is to blame. Does the controller operate properly with
other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If it does, take the DMX cable and the
light effect to a qualified technician.
