DMX-512 CONNECTION
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the
first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
5-pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be
implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used.
The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin
XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.
REPLACING THE FUSE
If the fuse is defective, replace the fuse with a fuse of the same type and value. Before replacing the fuse, unplug mains lead.
Procedure:
Step 1: Open the fuse holder on the rear panel with a fitting screwdriver.
Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.
Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.
FIXTURE CLEANING
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light output.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding
can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit's optics.
•
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing
•
Housings, fixations and installations spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation
•
The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is
detected
•
In order to protect the fixture from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned
monthly.
•
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.
•
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
•
Always dry the parts carefully.
•
Clean the external optics at least every month. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60 days.
ATTENTION: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified worker!
