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 damaged from shipping or the carton itself

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. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours will be achieved
under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place
care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the
reduction of overall projection intensity.

Note : Link all cables before connecting electric power
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.
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 Indigo„s on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
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.
DAP Audio Certified DMX Data Cables

The Indigo 150 LED can be operated with a controller in control mode or without the controller in standalone mode.
Control Panel

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 front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the
first channel from which the Indigo will respond to the controller.
Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 12 channels.
When using multiple Indigo‟s, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.
Therefore, the DMX address of the first Indigo‟s should be 1(001); the DMX address of the second Indigo
should be 1+12=13 (013); the DMX address of the third Indigo should be 13+12=25 (025), etc.
Please, be sure that you don‟t have any overlapping channels in order to control each Indigo correctly.
If two or more Indigo‟s are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.
For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing‟.
Controlling:
After having addressed all Indigo fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.
Note: After switching on, the Indigo will automatically detect whether 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 Indigo.
- 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 plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure
proper transmission on the DMX data link.

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:
1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must
not be corroded.
2. There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.
3. Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.
4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.
The Showtec Indigo 150 LED 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. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and
a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents.
The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the lightoutput very quickly.
The cooling-fans, colour-wheel, the gobowheel, the gobos and the internal lenses should be cleaned
22
monthly with a soft brush.
Please clean internal components once a year with a light brush and vacuum cleaner.
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 to do
so.
1. Unplug the unit from electric power source.
2. Insert a flat-head screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. The fuse will
come out.
3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out.
4. 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.
Replacing a Gobo
Gobo-wheel with rotating gobo‟s
1. Disconnect mains power supply and set the switch to OFF.
2. Make sure that the gobo you want to insert has the same size. For the right size, see below.
Fig. 7
3. Unlock the 2 goboslots on top of the housing. Lift the small maintenance cap.
4. Turn the gobo wheel, with the gobo you want to remove, to the upside.
4. Gently lift up the gobo holder 10º and then gently pull out the gobo from its position.
5. Very carefully take the gobo out of the gobo holder with a pair of pliers.
6. Place the new gobo in the gobo holder. Carefully put the pinchcock back, gently press the pinchcock
a little bit together. Possibly use a pair of pliers to press the pinchcock a little bit together.
7. Put the gobo holder back under the pressing snap and push it back.
8. Replace the maintenance cap and fasten all screws.

Glass Gobo Orientation
Coated glass gobos are inserted with the coating against the rim of the holder (away from the spring).
Textured gobos are inserted with the smooth side against the spring. This provides the best results when
combining rotating gobos.
When an object is held up to the coated side When an object is held up to the uncoated
there is no space between the object and its side there is a space between the object and
reflection. The back edge of the gobo cannot its reflection. The back edge of the gobo can
be seen when looking through the coated be seen when looking through the uncoated
side. side.

Troubleshooting
No Light, No Movement - All Products
This troubleshooting guide 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 operates properly, do not carry out following
steps.
If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
Response: Suspect three potential problem areas: the power supply, the lamp, the fuse.
1. Power supply. Check that the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.
2. The LEDs. Return the Indigo 150 LED to your Showtec dealer.
3. The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 23 for replacing the fuse.

and cables are plugged in.
Primary fuse blown.
· Replace fuse.
Fixtures reset
correctly, but all
respond
erratically or not
at all to the
controller.
The controller is not connected.
· Connect controller.
3-pin XLR Out of the controller
does not match XLR Out of the first
fixture on the link (i.e. signal is
reversed).
· Install a phase reversing cable
between the controller and the first
fixture on the link.
Fixtures reset
correctly, but
some respond
erratically or not
at all to the
controller.
Poor data quality
· Check data quality. If much lower
than 100 percent, the problem may
be a bad data link connection, poor
quality or broken cables, missing
termination plug, or a defective
fixture disturbing the link.
Bad data link connection
· Inspect connections and cables.
Correct poor connections. Repair or
replace damaged cables.
Data link not terminated with 120
Ohm termination plug.
· Insert termination plug in output jack
of the last fixture on the link.
Incorrect addressing of the fixtures.
· Check address setting.
One of the fixtures is defective and
disturbs data transmission on the
link.
· Bypass one fixture at a time until
normal operation is regained: unplug
both connectors and connect them
directly together.
· Have the defective fixture serviced
by a qualified technician.
3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does
not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed).
· Install a phase-reversing cable
between the fixtures or swap pin 2
and 3 in the fixture, that behaves
erratically.
