3 Features

Features

Special features of the device:

n 1 × 4in1 COB LED (120 W)
n High light output (14000 Lux @ 2 m with 9,5º zoom)
n Stepless manual zoom from 9.5 to 43º
n Temperature-controlled fan speed
n Stand-alone, master-slave or DMX mode operation
n Control via DMX or via buttons and display on the unit
n Robust aluminium housing with bracket and colour lter frame holder

For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect
increases with higher operating temperature. You can extend the service life of the illuminants
by providing adequate ventilation and operating the LEDs with the lowest possible brightness.

Starting up

DMX indicator

Connections in ‘Master /
Slave‘ mode

When the device and the DMX controller are operational, the DMX indicator in the display
shows that a DMX signal is being received on the input.

When you congure a group of devices in ‘Master / Slave’ mode, the rst unit will control the
others. This feature is especially useful to start a show without much programming. Connect
the DMX output of the master unit to the DMX input of the rst slave unit. Then connect the
DMX output of the rst slave unit to the DMX input of the second slave unit and so on.

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
ts 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 oers 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.

10 Troubleshooting

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

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‐

ers.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Remedy

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

Apparently no function despite
proper power supply

No response to the DMX con‐
troller

LED PAR

Check the mains connection and the main fuse.

Check whether the device is in DMX mode. If so, check
the unit in another mode.

1. Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper con‐
nection.

2. If the unit is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is
connected and turned on, a dot on the second digit of
the display will ash. If it doesn't, no valid DMX signal is
received. Check whether the DMX controller is switched
on. Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper
connection.

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

Troubleshooting

Symptom Remedy

4. Try using another DMX controller.

5. 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.

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