DESCRIPTION:
1. MAINS OUTPUT: you can use our “combi cables” and this IEC output to easily daisy-chain the next unit.
2. MAINS INPUT: with IEC socket and integrated fuse holder; connect the supplied mains cable here.
3. FUSE HOLDER: holds a slow blow 1.6A/250V glass fuse to protect the internal electronic circuits.
4. DMX INPUT: 3pin male XLR-connector used to connect universal DMX-cables. This input receives
instructions from a DMX-controller or the Master unit in Master/slave mode.
5. SAFETY EYEBOLT: used to attach a safety cable when the unit is rigged (see “overhead rigging”)
6. M-DMX INPUT: Please note that this USB-connector is NOT used for updates or to connect the unit to a
PC! Instead this USB-connector makes it very easy to add wireless DMX to the unit! Just add the (optional) WTR-DMX DONGLE from BRITEQ® and you will get wireless DMX! Moreover you will be able to connect other DMX-controlled equipment to the DMX-output so you can share the wireless DMX function with all connected units! No extra settings to be made in the setup menu, just follow the procedure in the user manual supplied with the WTR-DMX DONGLE from BRITEQ®. The separate WTR-DMX DONGLE is available from WWW.BRITEQ-LIGHTING.COM (order code: 4645)
7. VENTILATION OPENING: used for the cooling of the unit. Do not cover the opening !
8. USB CONNECTOR: used for connecting the WTR-DMX DONGLE (order code 04645) for wireless DMX
in combination with our M-DMX TRANSCEIVER (order code 04646). Don’t use this connector for connection with a PC!

9. BUTTONS:
10. DISPLAY: shows the various menus and the selected functions.
11. SENSITIVITY KNOB: The unit works to rhythm of the beat when used in standalone or master/slave
mode. With this knob you can set the input sensitivity of the build-in microphone.
12. INTERNAL MICROPHONE: The built-in microphone is used to synchronize the show to the beat of the
music.
OVERHEAD RIGGING
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.
Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12 times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don’t cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that safety is still optimal.

Note: the display blinks when the unit is in DMX-mode and no DMX-signal is detected.
Some more information on DMX512:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected light effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply won’t work! Each effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode.

[LEdS]: use this option to select if the display needs to go out when it is not used or if it has to be lit all the time
[LEdr]: use this option to reverse the display. This can be useful when the unit is positioned upside- down.
[rESt]: use this option to restore the initial factory settings.
MAINTENANCE
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.
During inspection the following points should be checked:
All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be corroded.
Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation.
When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.
In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.
Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.
Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
