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 damaged from shipping or the carton 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.

Your shipment includes:

● Showtec Performer 2000 RGBAL

● Pro power cable (1,5 m)

● 1 x safety cable

● User manual

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.

Safety Instructions

Every person involved with the installation, operation and maintenance of this device has to:

Control Modes

There are 3 modes:

• Stand-alone

• Master/Slave

• RDM/DMX-512 (8CH, 10CH, 13CH, 19CH)

One Performer (Stand-alone)

01) Fasten the effect light to a firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.

02) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.

03) When the Performer is not connected with a DMX cable, it functions as a stand-alone device.

Please see pages 16-25 for more information.

Multiple Performers (Master/Slave control)

01) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.

02) Use a 3-pin/5-pin XLR cable to connect the Performer.

The pins:

01) Earth

02) Signal -

03) Signal +

03) Link the units as shown in fig. 05. Connect the first unit's DMX "out" socket with the second unit's "in"

socket, using a DMX-signal cable. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units. You can use the same functions on the master device as described on pages 16-25. This means that you can set your desired operation mode on the master device and all slave devices will react the same as the master device.
