Objects do not fall into and liquids are not spilled into the inside of the apparatus for
safety.
Power Cord and Plug
Protect power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience
receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus. Do not defeat the safety
purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two poles; a
grounding-type plug has two poles and a third grounding terminal. The third prong is
provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not t into your outlet, refer to an
electrician for replacement. Unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time.
Power Supply
In case of external power supply, the apparatus should be connected to the power supply only of the type as marked on the apparatus or described in the manual. Failure to
do could result in damage to the product and possibly the user. Unplug this apparatus
during lightning storms or when unused for long periods of time.
Electrical Connection
Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse and be
sure to replace with same fuse size and type. Cut off power before moving, repairing
and cleaning the unit. Improper electrical wiring may invalidate the product warranty.

2. OVERVIEW
This LED beam moving-head of TWILIGHT Series combines the benets of LED technology (energy saving, low heat emission, increased reliability and durability over time)
with the quality of digital control systems and the accuracy of its optics. The TWILIGHT
180 BEAM is, therefore, a tool suitable for professionals of entertainment, both in tour-
ing and xed installations.
The optical system is able to emit a beam of 210.000 Lux @ 1m with 5° angle. The focus
is motorized; dimmer is linear with a 0-20Hz frequency for strobe effects. The TWILIGHT
180 BEAM offers a 7 + white color wheel with rainbow effect, a rst gobo wheel with
6 rotating gobos (3 metal + 3 glass) and shake effect, and a second wheel with 8 xed
gobos + open. Both gobo wheels have rainbow effect. Finally, two prisms (one 8-facet,
one 16-facet) with controllable rotation and direction, allow creating rich and varied
light effects thanks to the overlapping feature. The chassis is largely made up of alumi-
num and allows to reduce the nal weight in just 10kg. The xture is available both in
single carton and in two-unit professional ight case.

6. OVERHEAD RIGGING
WARNING: The installation must be carried out by qualied service personal
only. Improper installation can result in serious injuries and /or damage to
property. Overhead rigging required extensive experience! Working load
limits should be respected, Certied 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 xture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any ammable materials
and/or liquids. The xture must be xed 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 minimum point load
of 10 times the device”s weight. The device should be well xed; a free swinging
mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
• Do not cover any ventilation opening as this may result in overheating
10
Page 11
ENGLISH
TWILIGHT 180 BEAM User manual
• Before the rst time use, it must be inspected by professional staff to make sure
safety, inspection regularly every year.
7. MAINS CONNECTIONS
Connect the device to the mains with the supplied power cable. Please note that power
voltage and frequency are the same as the marked voltage and frequency of device
when connecting power.
Every device’s power should be connected separately, so that device can be controlled
individually. To prevent the risk of re and damaging the unit, please use only of the
recommended fuse type as described above. Before replacing the fuse, make sure the
unit turned off and disconnected from the AC outlet.
Wire correspondence is as follow:
Cable (EU)PinInternational
Brown Live L
BlueNeutralN
Yellow/GreenEarth
The earth must to be connected! Pay attention to the safety! Before taking
into operation for the rst time, the installation has to be approved by an
expert.
8. DMX CONNECTION
DMX xtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain
connection is where the DATA OUT of one xture connects to the DATA IN of the next
xture. The order in which the xtures are connected is not important and has no effect
on how a controller communicates to each xture. Use an order that provides for the
easiest and most direct cabling.

CAUTION: Wires must not come into contact with each other; otherwise the
xtures will not work at all, or will not work properly.
8.1. DMX Terminator
DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still occasionally occur.
In order to prevent electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control
signals, a good habit is to connect DMX output of last xture in the chain to a DMX
terminator, especially over long signal cable runs.
The DMX terminator is simply an XLR connector with a 120Ω (ohm),
1/4 Watt resistor connected across Signal (-) and Signal (+), respective-

resistor
ly, pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the output socket on last
projector in the chain. The connections are illustrated below.
Complimentary signal cable can transmits signals to 20 unit xtures at most.
Signal amplier is a must to connect more xtures.
8.2. 3-Pin vs 5-Pin DMX cables
DMX connection protocols used by controllers and xtures manufacturers are not standardized around the world. However, two are the most common standards: 5-Pin XLR
and 3-Pin XLR system. If you wish to connect SCENESPLIT 8 RACK to a 5-Pin XLR input
xture, you need to use an adapter-cable or make it by yourself.
Following the wiring correspondence between 3-Pin and 5-Pin plug and socket standards
There are two modes to get DMX 512 signal for this xture; one is 13CH, and the other
is 17 CH. Please nd the details as follow:

PhenomenonSolution
Fixture cannot start to work1. Check if the power fuse burnout
Fixture light normally, but no re-
sponding to the DMX controller
Fixture work intermittently
Dark light, brightness decreases
obviously
Beam is not pure (have a halo)
Beam is seriously distorted
11. Maintenance
When the lens have fracture and other damage, it should be replaced in time. When the
xture can’t start to run, please check if the fuse is burnout. If it is so, please install the
tted corresponding specication fuse (5x20mm T5A / 250V).
The TWILIGHT 180 BEAM is installed with overheating protection device, when it is
overheat, the overheating protection device will automatically cut off power supply.
Please check whether the fan is running, whether the fan and fan nets have dust jam,
nd troubleshooting before working. But note that a qualied technicians can do the
repair work.
1. Check if the DMX start address is correct
2. Check if the XLR signal cable was damaged
Check if the fan work well, Whether dust blocked
fan and fan nets
Check whether the internal and external optical
system is clean
Clean the dust and oil of bulb, lens and other
parts
1. Check whether the lens is broken
2. Clean the dust or oil of lens
In order to maintain the gobo wheel smooth rotation and smooth movement, it is suggested to add grease for the rotation gobo wheel every two months. Should use good
quality grease.
In order to ensure the xture working well, maintain the cleanness of xture is very
necessary. It should be clean once every 30 days after cooling the fans. Internal and
external optical lens, reector and coating color lter cleaning must be carried out
periodically to optimize the output light efciency. Do not use any contains chemical
solvent cleaning coating color lter. Cleaning the xture depending on the operating
frequency of xture and the surrounding environment. Clean with a soft cloth and
cleaning products for glass, suggest to clean the external optical system at least once
every 30 days , clean the internal optical system at least once every 30/60 days. Please
do not use alcohol and other organic solvents to wipe housing, lest cause damage.
