DANGER!
Danger for children
Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are disposed of properly and are not
within reach of babies and young children. Choking hazard!
Ensure that children do not detach any small parts (e.g. knobs or the like) from
the unit. They could swallow the pieces and choke!
Never let children unattended use electrical devices.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric
shock/death or re. If in doubt, seek advice from a registered electrician.

DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never
remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
Do not use the device if covers, protectors or optical components are missing or
damaged.
WARNING!
Eye damage caused by high light intensity
Never look directly into the light source.

Safety
WARNING!
Risk of epileptic shock
Strobe lighting can trigger seizures in photosensitive epilepsy. Sensitive persons
should avoid looking at strobe lights.
WARNING!
Risk of burns
The surface of the device can become very hot during operation.
Do not touch the device with bare hands during operation, and after switching
o wait for at least 15 minutes.

Safety
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.
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.

Features
For technological reasons, the light output of LEDs decreases over their lifetime. This eect
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.
Information about protection
class IP65
Equipment with protection class IP65 are dust-tight and completely protected against contact
(rst code number). They are also protected against splash water from any angle (second code
digit). That is why this equipment can also be used outdoors. Event technology equipment is
generally only designed for temporary use however (event lighting) and not for permanent
use outdoors.
The specied protection class does not make a statement about the weather resistance of the
equipment (resistance to changing ambient conditions as well as against the eects of sun‐
light and UV rays).
The seals and screw connections of the equipment must be checked regularly to ensure a
fault-free operation. In cases of doubt, consult a specialist workshop in due time.

4 Installation
Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the
equipment packaging. To fully protect the product against vibration, dust and moisture during
transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable
for transport or storage, respectively.
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.

Installation
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
Always ensure sucient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must not exceed the limits stated in the chapter Tech‐
nical Specications of the User Manual.
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‐
ers.
NOTICE!
Possible damage due to moisture
Moisture entering into open connectors (plugs and couplers) of DMX or power
cords can cause short circuits.
Close unused connectors with end caps intended for this purpose
(www.thomann.de).

Installation
Mounting options
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. Benutzen Sie zur Befestigung die dafür vor‐
gesehenen Önungen des zweiteiligen Bügels.
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 attached to the bracket.
Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer.

Installation
Connecting the DMX IP65 con‐
nectors
Proceed as follows to connect the DMX-IP65 connectors:
1. Insert the plug completely and straight into the coupling.
2. Make sure that the exible sealing ring has complete contact.
3. Turn the union nut straight onto the thread of the coupling. Hand-tighten the union nut.

Starting up
Create all connections while the device is o. Use the shortest possible high-quality cables for
all connections. Take care when running the cables to prevent tripping hazards.

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
Connections in master/slave
mode
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.

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!
A three-pole coupling in IP65 design is used as DMX output, a three-pole plug in IP65 design is
used as DMX input. The drawing below and the table show the pin assignment of a matching
coupling.

1. When the display ashes, e.g. ‘d001’ , no valid DMX
signal is received. Check whether the DMX controller is
switched on. Check the DMX connectors and cables for
proper connection.
2. If the display is not ashing but there is still no
response, check the address settings and the DMX
polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. 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.
