DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit

Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐
tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so
could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐
tered electrician.

WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity

Never look directly into the light source.

WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock

Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive persons
should avoid looking at strobe lights.

Press the lock of the battery holder to the centre of the housing and pull out the battery holder
like a drawer. Insert the battery. The battery is correct if the positive pole points to the housing
base of the remote control. Slide the battery holder back into the remote until it clicks into
place.

When shipping, the battery is already installed in the remote and protected against discharge
by a transparent plastic foil. Remove the plastic foil prior to first use.

5 Setup

Create all connections while the device is off. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.

Setup

LED lighting set

22

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).

Connections in DMX mode

Setup

Compact LED-Bar CLB8

23

If the dot behind the first character of the display is flashing in the DMX mode, no DMX signal
is received. Maybe the DMX controller is not switched on or there is a cabling error. If the indi‐
cator lights permanently, the device receives a valid DMX signal.

When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the
other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when
you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to
the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.

9 Plug and connection assignments

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐
ment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.

Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug
fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a
short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!

The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please
refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suitable XLR plug.

Pin Configuration

1 Ground, shielding
2 Signal inverted (DMX–, ‘cold signal’)
3 Signal (DMX+, ‘hot signal’)

10 Troubleshooting

NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors

For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐
nary microphone cables.

Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐
fiers.

In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

Troubleshooting

LED lighting set

52

Symptom Remedy

The unit does not work, no light Check the mains connection and the fuse.
No response to the DMX con‐

troller

1. If the dot behind the first character of the display is
flashing in the DMX mode, no DMX signal is received.
Make sure that the DMX controller is turned on. Check
the DMX ports and cables for proper connection.

2. If the display does not flash and still no response,
check the address settings and the DMX polarity.

3. Try using another DMX controller.

4. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or alongside
to high voltage cables that may cause damage or inter‐
ference to DMX interface circuits.

If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You
can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.

Troubleshooting

11 Cleaning

Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the
light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or
particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the
device.

n Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no. 280122).
n Always dry the parts carefully.

12 Protecting the environment

For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been
chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling.

Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of.
