WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules that apply
in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment,
such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).

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.
Use appropriate mounting hardware to attach the unit to the ceiling or a wall. The designated
fastening area must be sufficiently stable for the load, level and vibration-free.
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.

Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or other DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one and so on,
to form a series connection.
Such a chain may consist of up to 30 DMX devices. Make sure that the output of the last device
in the chain is terminated by a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).

When you configure a group of devices in ‘Master / Slave’ mode, the first device controls the
others and allows an automatic, music-controlled and synchronized show. This feature is espe‐
cially useful to start a show without much programming. Connect the DMX output of the
master unit to the DMX input of the first slave unit. Then connect the DMX output of the first
slave unit to the DMX input of the second slave unit and so on (maximum 30 slaves).

8 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.

Symptom Remedy
The unit does not work, no light 1. Check the mains connection and the main fuse.
2. Check the settings in manual operation.
No response to the DMX con‐
troller
1. Check whether the DMX cables run near or parallel to
high-voltage cables that may cause damage or interfer‐
ence to a DMX interface circuit.
2. Try using another DMX controller.

10 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.
The fan grids of the device must be cleaned on a regular basis to remove dust and dirt. Before
cleaning, switch off the device and disconnect AC-powered devices from the mains. Use a lintfree damp cloth for cleaning. Never use solvents or alcohol for cleaning.
