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 pac k i ng m at e rial for ins pe c t ion if any part s appear damaged from sh ipping or the c arton itself
shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a 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 cluster s, LEDs exhibi t higher operatin g temper a tures 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 improv i ng the device’s lifespan expectancy is of higher priority, place care in
provid ing for lower opera t ional temperatures. Thi s may include cl imatic-environmental and the reduction
of overall project i o n int ensity.
Safety Instructions
Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:
• be qualified
• follow the in s t ructions of this manual

Hydrogen DMX MKII
Before the initial start-up, plea s e make sure that ther e is no damage cau s e d by transpo rtation. Should
there be any, consult your dealer and do not use the device.
To maintain perfect condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is absolutely necessary for the user to
follo w t he safety instruct io ns and warning notes writ t e n in this manual.
Please consider that damages caused by manual modifications to the d evice are not subject to
warranty.
This device contains no user-servic eable parts. Refer servi cing to qualified technicians only.
IMPORTANT:
The manufacturer will not accept liability for any resulting damages caused by the non-observance of
this manual or any unauthorized modification to the device.
•Never let the power cord co me into contact wi th other cables! Handle the power cor d and all
connections with the mains with particular caution!

Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
isolated splitter may result in deterio ra tion of the digital DMX signal.
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 fixtures the
data link can support.
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 withou t the use of a DMX optically
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommend ed number of Hydrogens on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Data Cabling
To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purcha se DAP Audio certifi ed DMX cables
directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own ca ble
please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference.

Control Panel
Control Mode
The fixtures are individually add ressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.
The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you selec t the DMX address and save it,
the controller will display the sav ed DMX address the next time.)
DMX Addressing
The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
firs t ch annel from which the Hydrogen will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 4 channels.
When using multiple Hydrogens, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Hydrogen should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second
Hydrogen should be 1+4=5 (005); the DMX address of the third Hydrogen should be 5+4=9 (009), etc.
Please, make sure that y ou do not hav e any overlapping channels in order to contr ol e ach Hydrogen
correctly. If two or more Hydrogens are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Hydrogen fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting
controller.
Note: After switching on, the Hydrogen wil l automati cally detect wheth er DMX 512 data is received or
not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “ LED“ on the control panel will not flash.
The problem may be:
● The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Hydrogen.
● The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires
are swapped in the input connector.
Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plu g (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixtur e 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 ligh t up th e display, you hav e to pre s s t he MODE, SETUP, UP or DOW N butt on.
Once you have pressed the button, the display will light up.

Maintenance
The Showtec Hydrogen DMX MKII requires almost no maintena nce. However, you should keep the unit
clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s li ght-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power
supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not im m erse in liqu i d. Wipe lens clean with glass
cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. Keep connections cl ean. Disconnect electric
power, and then wipe the connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry
before linking equipment or supplying electric power.
The operator has to make sure that the safety related and machine-technical installations are to be
inspected by an expert after every four years 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 inspectio n :
01) All screws used for install ing 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) Mechani cally movin g parts like a xles, ey es and others may not show any traces of wearing.
04) The electri c power supply cabl es must not show any damages or material fati gue.
Replacing the fuse
Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate ele c tr ical power supply may cause a fus e to burn out. I f the
fuse burns out, the produc t will not funct i on whatso ever. If this happen s , fo l l ow the directions below:
01) Unplug the unit from ele c t ric power source.
02) In ser t a screwdriver in to the 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 guid e is meant to help solve simple problems.
If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit
operat e s p r operly, do not carry out fol l owing ste ps.
If the light effect does not operate properly, r e f e r servicing to a technici an.
Response: Suspect three potential probl em ar eas: the po wer supply, the LEDs, the fuse.
01) Power supply. Check th at the unit is plugged in to an appropriate power supply.
02) The LEDs. Return the Hydro gen DMX MKII to yo ur S h owtec dealer.
03) The fuse. Repla ce the fuse. See above, for replacin g the fuse.
04) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.
05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Hydrogen DMX MKII, as
this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void.
06) Return th e 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 th e D MX ca ble: Unplug the unit ; ch ange the DMX cable; then re connect to electric al power.
Try your DMX control again.
03) Determine whether the controller or the light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly
with ot her DMX produ cts ? If not, t ake the cont roller in f or repair . If so, take th e D MX c able and the
light effect to a qualified technician.
