Setting into Operation
GB
4.1 Mounting
G
Always place the unit so that during operation a
sufficient air circulation is ensured. The air vents
at the housing must not be covered in any case.
G
The minimum distance to materials sensitive to
heat should be 50 cm.
The PARL-40SET is provided for mounting onto a
lighting stand with a standard tube diameter of
35 mm (e. g. PAST-400/SW from "img Stage Line").
For this purpose place the stand sleeve (8) onto the
lighting stand and secure it with the screw.
IMPORTANT! The stand must be set up in a sta-
ble way. Check all setscrews and tighten them, if
required.
To align the spotlights (11), release the respective
setscrew [hexagon socket srew] (9) and turn and
incline the spotlight into the desired direction. Make
sure that the cable (7) will not be stretched or
squeezed. Then retighten the screw. If the spotlight
should not keep its adjusted inclination, retighten
the two screws (10).
4.2 Connecting the DMX light controller
The unit may be operated via a universal light con-
troller with DMX512 protocol (e. g. DMX-1440 or
DMX-510USB from "img Stage Line") or via the
compact LED-4MC.
For the DMX connection 3-pole XLR jacks with
the following contact configuration are available:
pin 1 = ground, 2 = DMX-, 3 = DMX+
For connection, special cables for high data flow
should be used. Standard microphone cables with
screening and a minimum cross section of 2 ×
0.22 mm
2
and with a capacity as low as possible
can only be recommended for a total cable length
of up to 100 m. For cable lengths exceeding 150 m
it is recommended to insert a DMX level matching
amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX from "img Stage Line").
1) Connect the DMX input (6) to the DMX output of
the light controller.
2) Connect the DMX output (5) to the DMX input of
the following light effect unit; connect its output
again to the input of the following unit, etc. until
all light effect units have been connected in a
chain.
3) Terminate the DMX output of the last DMX unit
in the chain with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0.3 W): Con-
nect a corresponding terminating plug (e. g.
DLT-123 from "img Stage Line") to the jack.

4.3 Power supply
Connect the supplied mains cable to the mains jack
(1) first and then to a socket (230 V~ / 50 Hz). Then
the unit is ready for operation and can be operated
via a DMX light controller. To switch off, disconnect
the mains plug from the socket.
WARNING Never look directly into the LEDs;
this may cause eye damage.
Please note that fast changes in
lighting, e. g. flashing light, may trig-
ger epileptic seizures with photosen-
sitive persons or persons with
epilepsy!
Caution: The unit must not be connected to the
mains voltage via a dimmer!
For a more convenient operation it is recom-
mended to connect the unit to a socket which can
be switched on and off via a light switch.
4.4 Adjusting the DMX start address
To be able to operate the set of spotlights with a
light controller, its DMX start address has to be
adjusted. For this purpose use the buttons UP and
DOWN (4). The display (3) always shows the start
address and the spotlight assignment ("d" or "dr")
alternately. After approx. 3 s, a change of the start
address will be effective automatically.
If e. g. the addresses 10 to 25 on the DMX con-
troller are provided to control the 16 channels of the
set of spotlights, adjust the start address 10 on the
PARL-40SET.
To control the set of spotlights via the LED-4MC,
adjust start address 1.

Operation
5.1 Changing the spotlight assignment
To be able to control two PARL-40SET units via the
same DMX channels e. g. when using them in a
mirror-inverted way on the left and right of a stage,
the assignment of the individual spotlights to the
control channels can be reversed.
Select the desired assignment with the button
MODE (2). If the display (3) shows "d", the follow-
ing channel assignment will apply:
channels 1 to 4:
first spotlight (from the left)
channels 5 to 8:
second spotlight
channels 9 to 12:
third spotlight
channels 13 to 16: fourth spotlight
