OVERHEAD RIGGING

 Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
 Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
 Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. The
fixture must be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
 The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
 Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device's
weight.
 Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
 The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
 Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
 The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electric installation for one unit in Standalone mode:
 Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode.
 See chapter 'STANDALONE MODE" for more information on how to select an automatic or sound
controlled program.
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
 Connect 2 or more units together using balanced microphone cables of good quality.
 Don't connect any cable to the DMX input of the first unit in the chain: this first unit will be the master.
 The other units must be set to DMX channel 1. See the next chapter for more information about the
menu settings.
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Done!

Electrical installation in DMX-mode:
 The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to
"daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a balanced cable of good quality.
 Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these
cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
 Pin layout XLR-3pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
 Pin layout XLR-5pin: Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal (-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~
Pins4+5 not used.
 To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use
a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won't work!
 Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
 Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will learn how to set the
DMX addresses.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
 Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or before to start servicing.
 In the event of serious operating problems, stop using the fixture and contact your dealer immediately.
 Important: Never look directly into the light source! Don't use the effect in the presence of persons
suffering from epilepsy.

HOW TO OPERATE THE UNIT

YOU CAN OPERATE THE UNIT IN 3 WAYS:
Standalone + master/slave using the built-in preprogrammed functions
o
By using any universal DMX controller (1 & 6 channel DMX mode)
o
STANDALONE MODE:
The effect can work by its own via several build in automatic modes or music controlled modes.
You can choose between:
 7 different automatic color modes. The rotation speed can be set at 9 different levels.
 2 different sound controlled modes. The rotation speed and color changing will be controlled by the build-in
microphone.
