NOTICE!
Risk of overheating

Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).

NOTICE!
Use of stands

When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a safe and
stable position and that the weight of the device does not exceed the maximum
permissible load capacity of the stand.

Installation

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.

You can install the device in either the hanging or standing position. During use, the device
must always be attached to a solid surface or to an approved support. Use the openings pro‐
vided on the two-piece bracket for attaching.

Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the unit. In doing
so, the area underneath the device must be cordoned off.

The safety-rope must be attached to the bracket.

If the unit is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is connected and turned on, a dot on the
fourth digit of the display will flash. If the unit is in DMX mode, but without a turned on DMX
controller connected, the display will flash.

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 Starting up

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.

Starting up

LED-PAR

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).

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’)

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:

Symptom Remedy

The unit does not work, no light,
the display is dark

Check the mains connection and the main fuse.

Apparently no function despite
proper power supply

Check if the unit is in DMX mode or in ‘slave’ mode. If so,
check the device into a different mode.

No response to the DMX con‐
troller

1. If the unit is in DMX mode and the display flashes, no
DMX signal is received. Check that the DMX controller is
switched on. Check the DMX connectors and cables for
proper connection.

2. If the unit is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is
connected and turned on, a dot on the fourth digit of
the display will flash. If it doesn't, no valid DMX signal is
received. Check that the DMX controller is switched on.
Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper con‐
nection.

3. If the display dot is flashing but there is still no
response, check the address settings and the DMX
polarity.

Symptom Remedy

4. Try using another DMX controller.

5. 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

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.

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.
