1. Overview

Beamer 17R is a versatile moving head that covers
spot, wash and beam functions. Powered by a 17R
short-arc 350W lamp, achieves 134.000 lux at 30 feet
with its 3.8º beam angle. The unit has a 14 dichroic fil­ter + open and bidirectional rainbow eect color wheel
and sports CTO and CTB filters. Regarding gobos, this
moving head has a 9 dichroic rotating indexable and
interchangeable gobo wheel and a 14 static gobo
wheel, each of them with gobo shaking. Beamer 17R
comes with frost filter, a linear 6-facet & 16-facet ro­tating prism and a zoom function that allows the user
to choose between 3.8º and 45º to cover beam, spot &
wash applications with only one moving head.

3. Safety instructions

Please conserve this manual as operation guidance. If
you sell this product to other user, please make sure
that they also receive this user manual.

1. Always make sure that you are connecting
to the proper voltage and the line voltage not
higher than stated on the decal or rear panel
of the fixture.

2. This lighting is intended to indoor use only.
To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not ex­ pose fixture to rain or moisture. Make sure
there are no flammable, explosive or corrosive
material in 10 meters around while operating.

3. The unit must be installed in a location with
adequate ventilation, at least 5m away from
adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation
slots are blocked.

4. Fixture may carry high heat, do not aim at
objective exceeding 2 minutes.

5. Safe wire should be used to install machine.
Bearing of safe wire should be 3 times of the
machine weight.

6. Always disconnect from the power source
before servicing or replacing fuse/lamp and
be sure to replace with same fuse/lamp size

and type. Cut o power before moving, repair­ ing and cleaning the machine.

7. To avoid electric shock, all fixtures must be
connected to circuits with a suitable ground.

8. Always secure fixture using a safety chain and
carrying handles. Never carry the fixture
by its cord.

9. Do not operate at ambient temperatures
higher than 104F(40C).

10. In case of failure or misfunction occurred, stop
using the unit immediately. Never try to repair the
unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled
people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please
contact the nearest authorized technical assistance
center. Buy the same spare parts/components
from manufacturer directly.

11. Make sure the power cord is never damaged.

12. Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source

while it is on.

13. Do not power on and power o the fixture in a
short time.

14. When use DMX controller, please make sure
that there is no interference sources (e.g. inter­ com, high frequency radio waves and radiation.

Caution

There are no user serviceable parts inside
the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt
any repairs yourself. If exceptional problem
happen, please contact related aer-sale de­partment or manufacturer. Any damage that
cased by violating this manual is out of insur­ance, our company will not take the respon­sibility.

screw holes of truss. Safety wire is a must to fix
fixture well. Make sure truss and safety wire have
strong load capacity to bear 3 times weight than
fixture at least.

• This machine should be installed by qualified
technician.

Machine Connection

• 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 commu-

nication protocol, however errors still occasional­ ly occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and
therefore best practices include use of a ternina­ tor in all circumstances. If you are experiencing
problems with erratic fixture 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 fixture. They are also readily availa­ ble from specialty retailers.

Complimentary signal cable can transmits sig­nals to 20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier
is a must to connect more fixtures
