SAFETY WARNING

vice is never exposed to the direct smoke jet and is in­stalled in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke ma­chine and device.

• The ambient temperature must always be between -15°
C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation (particu-

larly in cars) and heaters.

• Never use the device during thunderstorms. Over volt-

age could destroy the device. Always disconnect the de­vice during thunderstorms.

• The device must only be installed on a non-amma-

ble surface. In order to safeguard suicient ventilation,

leave 50 cm of free space around the device.

• For overhead use (mounting height >100 cm), always

x the xture with an appropriate safety-rope. Fix the
safety-rope at the correct xation points only. The safe-

ty-rope must never be xed at the transport handles!

• Only operate the xture aer having checked that the

housing is rmly closed and all screws are tightly fastened.

• Operate the device only aer having become familiarized

• Never remove the serial barcode from the device as this

would make the guarantee void.

Installation

• This machine should be mounted through the screw

holes of truss. Safety wire is a must to x xture well.

Make sure truss and safety wire have strong load capaci-

ty to bear 3 times weight than xture at least.

• This machine should be installed by qualied technician.

Machine Connection

Cable Connectors

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a
female XLR connector on the other end.

A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication
protocol, however errors still occasionally occur. Termi­nation reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices
include use of a terninator in all circumstances. If you are
experiencing problems with erratic xture behavior, espe­cially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help
improve performance.

To build your own DMX Terminator: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-

watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2&3 of the last xture.

They are also readily available from specialty retailers.

Complimentary signal cable can transmit signals to

20 unit xtures at most. Signal amplier is a must to

connect more xtures
