The maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 104 F (40 C). Do not operate the
fixture at a higher temperature.
In case of a serious operating problem, stop using this product immediately!
In t he unlikely e vent t hat your light may require ser vice, please contact our Technical
Support.
LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time, mostly because of heat. Packaged in
clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular optimum
conditions. For this reason, using all color .LEDs at their fullest intensity significantly
reduces the LEDs' lifespan. Under normal conditions, this lifespan can be of 40,000 to
50,000 hours. If extending this lifespan expectancy is vital, lower the operational
temperature by improving ventilation and reducing the external temperature , as well
as limiting the overall projection intensity

DMX Linking
DMX Modes
Master/Slave
Linking
You may link the light to a DMX controller using a standard DMX serial connection. If using
other DMX compatible fixtures with the light, it is possible to control them individually with a
single DMX controller.
It is also possible to run several DMX compatible fixtures synchronized without a DMX
controller in a master/slave operating mode.
If you are not familiar with the DMX standard, please refer to the DMX Primer and
DMX Connectivity sections in the Appendix chapter of this manual.
The light uses the standard DMX data connection for its DMX modes, Advanced and
Basic. Refer to the Operation Instructions chapter to learn how to configure the light
to work in these modes. The DMX Values section will give you detailed information
regarding the above-mentioned DMX modes.
The Master/Slave mode allows a fixture (the master) running a preconfigured
program to control several other fixtures (the slaves) without requiring a DMX
controller. In this mode, all the slave fixtures will operate in
unison with the master fixture.
When in Master/Slave mode, the units link to each other using the standard DMX
connection.
If you are not familiar with the Master/Slave connectivity, please refer to the DMX
Primer and DMX Connectivity sections in the Appendix chapter of this manual.
The Operation chapter of this manual provides detailed instructions on how to
configure the Master and Slave units.

To clean a fixture, follow the below recommendations:
Always dry the external optics and glass surfaces carefully after cleaning them.
To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, the user should clean the light
fixtures frequently. Usage and environment are contributing factors in determining the
cleaning frequency. As a rule, the user should clean the fixtures at least twice a
month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating.
This can lead to reduced light source life and increased mechanical wear.
We recommends cleaning the fixture's external optics with a soft cloth using normal
glass cleaning fluid.
Unplug the fixture from power.
Wait until the fixture is cold.
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external vents and reachable internal components.
Clean all external optics and glass surfaces with a mild solution of glass cleaner or
isopropyl alcohol, and a soft, lint free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
Apply the solution directly to the cloth or tissue and drag any dirt and grime to the
outside of the lens.
Gently polish the external glass surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.
When cleaning units with a movable mirror, you should keep the contact with the
mirror surface to a minimum to avoid scratching or damaging it.
If the fix ture has on e or compressed air. refrain from spinning them using
compressed air.

6. Appendix
DMX Primer
The DMX protocol (USITT DMX512-A) is a networking protocol that enables a universal
DMX controller device to control the features of multiple DMX compatible fixtures,
whether par cans, wash lights, moving heads, follow spots, foggers , proprietary fixture
controllers, etc.
As any other networking protocol, the USITT DMX512-A describes the physical
medium, the signals and the functions they control.
The Physical
Medium
The DMX controller connects to it associated DMX compatible fixtures using a DMX
connection. This connection consists of a series of jumps between the DMX controller
and the various DMX compatible fixtures, also known as a daisy chain connection. In
this type of connection, the DATA OUT of one fixture or the DMX controller connects to
the DATA IN of the next fixture, and so on.
Each DMX fixture links to the previous and next DMX fixture or controller using a DMX
cable. This type of cable consists of a section of shielded, two-conductor twisted pair
cable with one 3-pin XLR male connector on one end and a 3-pin XLR female connector
on the other end. The XLR connectors pin-out is as follows: pin 1 is the Common (shield),
pin 2 is Signal Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Signal Positive (S+).
The Signals
The DMX signal stream is unidirectional, from the DMX controller to the DMX
compatible fixtures. These signals conform to the EIA-485 standard.
The Functions
Each DMX channel can have any unitary value in the 000~255 range. Each DMX
compatible fixture uses as many consecutive DMX channels as features the user can
control. The sequential numbers assigned to each DMX channel (1~512) are also
known as DMX addresses.
The function each DMX channel has and the results of assigning a value to each
depend on each controlled fixture. Some fixtures only use a single DMX channel,
while others may require 15 or more DMX channels to control all their functions.
Personalities
The DMX fixture configuration consists in determining how many channels each
fixture will need as well as assigning the corresponding DMX channels to each
fixture in order to size correctly the DMX controller.
Most DMX fixtures use multiple personalities, each of them requiring a different number
of channels, depending on the number of features it enables. The number of DMX
channels used by a fixture may vary from only one (usually the general dimmer control)
to 15 or more, as mentioned above.
When the job does not require using all the fixture's capabilities, the user can select a
more basic personality (less channels), thus allowing the DMX controller to
accommodate more DMX fixtures.
Starting
Address
The stream of DMX signals consists of 512 individual, sequential channels that form
a frame. The DMX controller constantly sends frames of DMX signals to the DMX
connection, even if not all of the 512 channels are in use. Because of this constant
transmission method, there can be only one DMX controller in a DMX connection.
Otherwise, the DMX signals sent by one controller would interfere with the signals
sent by the other controller(s).
For the DMX controller to control each DMX fixture, the user must first configure each
fixture's personality. This will determine the number of required channels to control the
fixture. Each channel will have a DMX address assigned to it. However, since assigning
a particular DMX address to each channel is impractical, the user will only need to
configure on each fixture the DMX address that corresponds to the fixture's Channel 1.
This is the fixture's starting address. The fixture will automatically assign the other
channels to the subsequent DMX addresses.
Once this assignment is complete, and based on the number of channels it uses, the
fixture will respond to the DMX signals sent to the range of DMX channels that begins
with the starting address.
For example, a fixture that uses six DMX channels and whose starting address is 100,
will accept DMX data sent by the DMX controller to channels 100, 101, 102, 103, 104,
and 105.

Characteristics
The DMX data cable must have the following characteristics:
The user must carefully assign the starting addresses for each individual fixture to
avoid DMX channel overlapping. If the DMX channels do overlap, the affected
fixtures could operate erratically.
However, the user may decide to configure two or more similar fixtures with the same
personality and starting address. In this case, all the fixtures with the same starting
address will operate at unison.
A DMX universe is the set of DMX compatible fixtures connected to the same DMX
daisy chain, which are receiving DMX data from the same DMX controller using the
same set of 512 DMX channels.
Although in most cases an installation will consist of only one DMX universe, it
could be necessary to define two or more universes because of constrains
imposed by the distance or the number of features.
Most DMX controllers support only one universe, although some DMX controllers
may support two or more universes. Each universe will have its own separated
DMX daisy chain. A DMX compatible fixture can only be part of a single DMX universe.
Connecting the DMX fixtures to a DMX controller in small to medium installations is
usually a rather simple operation that requires a minimum of tools and some planning
(not including the actual fixture rigging and configuration).
However, in large installations it may be necessary to plan carefully the position and
cabling of each fixture to avoid unexpected problems.
The order in which the fixtures connect to the DMX controller is not important and
it has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. However, the
user should always define a physical location for the fixtures that provides for the
easiest and most direct cabling to the controller and other fixtures.
When using a DMX controller, the combined number of channels required by all the
fixtures on the serial data link determines the number of fixtures the DMX controller
has to support. Conversely, the number of onboard sliders, page buttons and fixture
buttons limits the number of discrete DMX channels a DMX controller can support.
To comply with the E IA-485 standard, which is t he b ase f or t he US ITT
DMX512-A protocol, do not connect more than 32 fixtures without using a DMX
optically-isolated splitter. Doing otherwise ma y result i n deterioration of
the digital DMX signal.
You must use DMX compliant data cables to link two or more DMX compatible fixtures.
You may purchase our certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor
or construct your own cable.
USITT recommends limiting the total length of t he DMX c able (from the first
fixture/controller to the last fixture) to 300~455 m (985~1,500 ft).
If you choose to create your own DMX cable, make sure to use data-grade cables
that can carry a high frequency signal and are less prone to electromagnetic
interference Use a Belden@9841 or equivalent cable, which meets the specifications
for EIA RS- 485 applications.
Do not us e standard microphone cables for D MX applications because they
cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances.

Each DMX cable must have a male, 3-pin XLR connector on one end and a female, 3pin XLR connector on the other end.
To avoid signal transmission problems and interference, it is always advisable to
connect a DMX signal terminator, as seen below.
120 ohm, ¼W

Test all DMX cables with an ohmmeter to verify their correct polarity and to make
sure that there are no short-circuits between any of the pins, or between any pin
and ground.
If th e Common wire (shield) touched the chassis ground, a ground l oop could
form, which may cause the fixture to perform erratically.
If you use a DMX controller or fixture with a 5-pin DMX connector, you will need to use
a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. The chart below details a proper cable conversion.
Make sure that the fixtures with which you are working can operate in DMX mode, not
in a proprietary connection mode. Refer to the fixtures' manual to learn how to enable
their respective DMX modes.
1) Connect the 3-pin, male connector of the first DMX cable to the DMX Output
connector (3-pin, female) of the DMX controller.
2) Connect the 3-pin, female connector of the first DMX cable coming from the
controller to the DMX Input connector (3-pin, male) of the first DMX fixture.
3) Connect the 3-pin, male connector of the second DMX cable to the DMX Output
connector (3-pin, female) of the first DMX fixture.
4) Connect the 3-pin, female connector of the second DMX cable coming from the first
DMX fixture to the DMX Input connector of the second DMX compatible fixture.
5) Continue linking the other DMX fixtures in the same way.

The Master/Slave mode allows one fixture (the master) to run a preconfigured
program to control several other fixtures of the same model (the slaves) without
requiring a DMX controller. In this mode, all the slave fixtures will operate in unison
with the master fixture.
If a fixture supports the Master/Slave mode, it will have some sort of programming
function to configure it as master or slave. Those fixtures that only support DMX
mode cannot operate in Master/Slave mode.
Make sure the fixtures with which you are working are capable of operating in
Master/Slave mode. When working in Master/Slave mode, most fixtures use the DMX
data connection as well. The difference in this case is that there is no DMX controller
involved. Refer to the fixtures' manual to learn how to configure them to work in
Master/Slave mode.
1) Connect the 3-pin, male connector of the first DMX cable to the DMX Output
connector (3-pin, female) of the master fixture.
2) Connect the 3-pin, female connector of the first DMX cable coming from the master
fixture to the DMX Input connector (3-pin, male) of the first slave fixture.
3) Connect the 3-pin, male connector of the second DMX cable to the DMX Output
connector (3-pin, female) of the first slave fixture.
4) Connect the 3-pin, female connector of the second DMX cable coming from the
first slave fixture to the DMX Input connector (3-pin, male) of the second slave
fixture.
6) Follow the steps in fixtures' manual to configure the fixtures as master and slaves.

Single Row ID Addressing
Diagram
Standard Block

Block Connection
ID Addressing is a sub-addressing method by which each fixture, apart from its starting
address, can also have an "ID" address in the 1~66 range. This allows users to multiply
the number of fixtures they can control with a single DMX controller.
Many fixtures have at least one DMX personality or mode that enables ID addressing.
In this case, one of the channels of such DMX mode is in charge of selecting an ID
address. When using ID addressing, setting the value of the ID addressing channel to
"0" allows for the simultaneous control of all the fixtures with the same starting address,
regardless of their particular ID address.
ID addressing is also a tool for creating special lighting effects by having several fixtures
sharing the same starting DMX address and ID address, as indicated below.
The figure below shows a simple DMX layout that uses four fixtures, all with the same
DMX address and a unique ID address for each fixture. This allows the user to control
simultaneously the whole group of units at that DMX address by setting the ID
Addressing channel to 0. Similarly, the user can control each fixture at that DMX
address independently by first selecting the DMX address and then using the ID
Addressing channel to locate the target ID address.
In the Standard Block connection, the fixtures appear in repeated rows of the same
length to form a block. For instance, three rows of fixtures with three fixtures per row
to form a 3 x 3 block. Each of the fixtures has unique, sequential ascending ID
addresses for the controller to control each fixture individually.
In this type of connection, the fixtures appear in repeated rows or columns of the same
length to form a block. For instance, there may be three columns of fixtures with three
fixtures per column to form a 3 x 3 block. In this case, the fixtures form groups, each
with its own sequential ascending ID addresses. This way, the controller will control
each group of fixtures individually.
Repeated Block Connection
For other types of effects, you may group the fixtures in diagonal lines or place them in
random positions within a single block.

22 A * 1.25 = 27.5 A
Calculating the total current drawn by the fixtures connected to a particular circuit
is not complicated if the installer has the right information at hand and knows how
to interpret it.
With the fixture's current draw information, the installer can calculate and select the
right circuit breaker size (rating) to which they can connect a group of fixtures.
Our fixtures come with a sticker that indicates the current they consume in a
circuit at the specified voltage. This greatly simplifies calculating the total
current drawn.
For instance, if the sticker on the fixture indicates, "0.1 A @ 115 VAC, 60 Hz" and the
installer is connecting 12 of them on the same 115 VAC circuit, to determine the total
current required by the fixtures it would be enough to do this simple calculation:
0.1 A x 12 = 1.2 A
Some installers may prefer to determine the current drawn by the fixture by dividing
its power consumption, indicated in watts (W), by the voltage (V) on the circuit. As
an example, assuming that a certain fixture consumes 240 W and it is connected to
a 120 VAC circuit, the current it draws would be:
240W / 120 V 2A
The above method is accurate only with fixtures whose power factor (PF) is equal,
or very close, to "1." Otherwise, the calculated current may be too low with respect
to the actual current drawn by the fixture.
In fact, as the PF decreases, the difference between the current calculated using
the watts/volts method and the actual current increases.
Therefore, for fixtures with a PF below "0.9," the installer must always consider the
fixture's PF when using the watts figure to calculate the current it draws.
For the above example, if the published fixture's PF were "0.7," the resulting drawn
current would be as follows:
This is approximately equal )( to 2.86 A, 2.9 A, or even 3 A, depending on the
installer's desire for accuracy. In other words, the actual current ended up being
close to 50% higher than originally calculated.
If the fixture's sticker indicates the power consumption in "volt amps" (VA), the
calculation of the drawn current is simply the result of dividing the amount in VA by
the voltage on the circuit (V). For a fixture with a consumption of 360 VA, the
calculation would be as follows:
Note that when the power consumption is in VA, the fixture's PF is never part of the
current draw calculation.
The National Electric Code (NEC) determines that circuit breakers should handle
80% of their rated capacity for continuous loads (those being on for three or more
hours) and 100% for intermittent loads. For safety reasons, We recommends
assuming that all loads are continuous.
After calculating the total current the fixtures connected to a particular circuit will
draw, the installer must consider the 80% rule indicated above. For a total current
of 22 A, the calculation is as follows:
The installer should use a 30 A CB because the immediately lower CB rating, 25 A,
would not be enough for this load.
