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.

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.
