Power supply
Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches
the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual
current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and
possibly injure the user.
Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long
periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or re.
NOTICE!
Risk of re due to incorrect polarity

NOTICE!
Possible damage by leaking batteries
Leaking batteries can cause permanent damage to the device.
Take batteries out of the device if it is not going to be used for a longer period.
NOTICE!
Possible damage due to incorrect storage
Deep discharge can cause batteries to become permanently damaged or lose
some of their capacity.
Before prolonged rest periods, charge the batteries to around 50 % of their
capacity and then switch the equipment o. Store the equipment at a tempera‐
ture between 10 °C and 32 °C in as dry an environment as possible. During
extended storage periods, charge the batteries to 50 % approximately every three
months.

LED bar
You can install the unit in hanging or standing position. When in use, the device must always
be attached to a solid surface or an approved truss.
Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the unit. In doing
so, the area underneath the unit must be cordoned o.
The safety cable must be threaded through one of the mounting brackets.
Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.
Installation
Inserting batteries into the
remote
Push the lock of the battery holder towards the centre of the housing and pull out the battery
holder like a drawer. Insert the batteries in the correct polarity according to the marking on the
remote. Slide the battery holder back into the remote until it clicks into place.
When shipping, the batteries are already installed in the remote and protected against dis‐
charge by a transparent plastic lm. Remove the plastic lm before initial use.

Starting up
Connections in DMX mode
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the rst 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).

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 congure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the rst 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 rst slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the rst slave device to
the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.

Plug and connection assignments
9 Plug and connection assignments
Introduction
DMX connections
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 oers 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 Conguration
1 Ground, shielding
2 Signal inverted (DMX–, ‘cold signal’)
3 Signal (DMX+, ‘hot signal’)

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 Check the mains connection.
If the device is to be operated independently from the
mains power supply, check the charge status of the bat‐
tery pack.

Apparently no function despite
proper power supply
No response to the DMX con‐
troller
Check if the unit is in DMX mode or in ‘slave’ mode. If so,
check the unit in another mode.
1. Check whether the DMX controller is switched on.
Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper con‐
nection.
2. Check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
Troubleshooting
Symptom Remedy
4. If the device is to be controlled wirelessly via DMX,
check whether the module is activated in the menu. If
so, nd a better DMX antenna orientation.
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.

Cleaning
11 Cleaning
Optical lenses
Fan grids
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 of any contamination, such as dust, etc. on a reg‐
ular basis. Before cleaning, switch o the device and disconnect mains-operated devices from
the mains. Only use pH-neutral, solvent-free and non-abrasive cleaning agents. Clean the unit
with a slightly damp lint-free cloth.
