Unpacking Instructions
Upon receipt of the fixture, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are
present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any
parts appear to be damaged from shipping or if the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton
and all packing materials. If a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned
in the original factory box and packing.
Power Requirements
Before powering the unit, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages. Fixtures
operating voltage is 100-240 VAC 50/60Hz. All fixtures must be powered directly from a switched circuit and
cannot be operated with a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel
is used solely as a 0-100% switch.
When powered up, Solaris performs a preprogrammed internal test. On initial power-up the factory default
DMX address appears on the display screen and Solaris is ready for operation. After initial power-up, the lastsaved DMX address will appear.
Frequency Settings
Depending on location, change the Default Frequency setting to match the mains power (e.g., US and Canada
should be set at 60Hz). Proper frequency setting will ensure minimum number of visible artifacts when using
Solaris on camera.
Safety Instructions
•
Please keep this Operation Manual for future reference. If the unit is sold to another user, make sure they
also receive this instruction booklet.
•
Ensure fixture is connected to proper voltage, and that line voltage is not higher than that stated on the
fixture.
•
Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the u nit w hi le operating.
•
Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or fuse replacement. Always use the fuse
specified in this manual.
•
Always use a safety cable when hanging fixture overhead.
•
Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 40°C (104°F). Do not operate fixture at temperatures above this
rating.
•
In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Repairs must be carried out
by trained, authorized personnel. Contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Only OEM
spare parts should be used.
•
Do not connect the device to a dimmer pack.
•
Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged.
•
Never disconnect power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
•
Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source during operation.
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt any
repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact your distributor.
Please read these instructions carefully. This user guide
contains essential information about the installation, usage and
maintenance of this fixture.

Setup
Fuse Replacement
1. Flare Q+ Rayzr devices use a slow-blow fuse (5x20mm).
• Flare Q+ Rayzr 50 uses a 2A 250V fuse
• Flare Q+ Rayzr 100 uses a 4A 250V fuse
To replace a Fuse:
2. With a screwdriver turn the fuse cap counter-clockwise to remove fuse cap with fuse.
3. Replace fuse attached to fuse cap.
4. Reinsert fuse cap with new fuse and tighten clockwise.
Power Linking
Solaris Flare Q+ Rayzr has Neutrik® PowerCon IN and THRU connections allowing power linking (daisy-chaining).
Depending on the power provided, you should not ex c eed the po wer thres ho ld.
Max. 5 units 100-120V; max. 10 units 208-240V for Flare Q+ Rayzr 50cm.
Max. 3 units 100-120V; max. 6 units 208-240V for Flare Q+ Rayzr 100cm.
Fixture Linking
A DMX data link is needed to operate one or more fixtures via a DMX-512 lighting console. The combined number
of channels required b y al l t he f ixtur es on a D MX data link det ermines the number of fixtures the DMX da ta l i nk
can support.
Important: Fixtures on a DMX da ta link must be daisy-chained in o ne single line. To comply with th e EIA485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more than 32
fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in
deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance between fixtures: 984 ft. (300 meters).
Disconnect the power cord before replacing the
fuse. Always replace with the correct fuse type.

Setting up a DMX Serial Data Link
1)
Connect the male 5-pin XLR connector of the data cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of the DMX console.
Connect the other end of the data cable (female 5-pin XLR) to the male 5-pin XLR connector located on the
Solaris Flare.
2)
Connect from the fixture output as stated above to the input of the following fixture.
3)
Continue linking until the last fixture is connected in your DMX signal data chain.

Fixture Mounting
Orientation
Flare Q+ Rayzr fixtures may be m ounted in any position. Each h ave a yoke with mounting hol e for clamps or
couplers. Always make sure there is adequate room for ventilation. Do not obstruct the unit’s fan or vents.
Rigging
To avoid possibility of risk, both Rayzr fixtures comes wit h a hitch to be used with safety cables. Always
consult a certified rigging specialist before suspending any fixture overhead!
Use ProBurger
®
couplers or equivalent C - or O-type clamps for att aching to truss . It is im portant never to o bstruc t
the fan or vents pathway. Adjust the angle of the fixture by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture. After finding
the desired position, retighten both knobs.
Note!
• Always use safety cables!
• When selecting installation location, consider routine maintenance.
• Never mount fixture where it will be exposed to moisture, excessive humidity, ex treme temperatures, or
restricted ventilation.
