Safety instructions
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.
The load capacity of trusses or other xtures must be sucient for the intended number of devices. Not that the movement of the head places additional loads on the load-bearing parts.

Safety instructions
CAUTION! Risk of injury due to movements of the device
The head of the device can move quickly (pan, tilt) and can produce very bright light. This is also valid immediately after you turn on the device, when the device operates in automatic mode or under remote control and when you turn o a DMX controller that is connected to the device. Persons staying near the device could be injured or frightened.
Before you turn on the device and during the operation, always ensure that nobody stays close to the device. If work has to be performed in the area of move‐ ment or in the near vicinity of the device, it must remain turned o.
NOTICE! Risk of re
Do not block areas of ventilation. Do not install the device near any direct heat source. Keep the device away from naked ames.

Safety instructions
NOTICE! 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! Possible staining
The plasticiser contained in the rubber feet of this product may possibly react with the coating of your parquet, linoleum, laminate or PVC oor and after some time cause permanent dark stains.
In case of doubt, do not put the rubber feet directly on the oor, but use felt-pad oor protectors or a carpet.

27
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 congure 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.

9 Plug and connection assignments

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 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.
Pin Conguration
1 Ground, shielding
2 Signal inverted (DMX–, ‘cold signal’)
3 Signal (DMX+, ‘hot signal’)

Troubleshooting

10 Troubleshooting

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

Symptom Remedy
Troubleshooting
The unit does not work, no light, the fan does not run
No response to the DMX con‐ troller
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can nd the contact information at www.thomann.de.
Check the mains power connection and the main fuse.
1. The DMX indicator should light up. If it doesn't, check DMX connectors and cables for proper connection.
2. If the DMX indicator lights up but with no response, check the address settings and DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check whether the DMX cables lie near or adjacent to high voltage cables, which could cause damage or inter‐ ference with a DMX interface circuit.

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.
