the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction.
Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Always use the same type of
spare parts.
• Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.
• Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.
• Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on as sensitive persons may suffer an
epileptic shock (especially meant for epileptics)!.
• The product is for decorative purposes only and not suitable as a household room illumination.
• If the external flexible cable or cord of this luminaire is damaged, it shall be exclusively replaced
by the manufacturer or his service agent or a similar qualified person in order to avoid a hazard.
• If the lenses are visibly damaged by scratches or cracks, stop using the unit immediately and
replace the damaged lenses.
• The light source of this unit is not replaceable. If it is damaged, the whole unit must be discarded.
DISCONNECT DEVICE
Where the MAINS plug or an appliance coupler is used as the disconnect device, the disconnect
device shall remain readily operable.
FUSE REPLACEMENT
• Disconnect the power cord before replacing a fuse and always replace with the same type fuse.
• With a Phillips head screwdriver wedge the fuse holder out of its housing.
• Remove the damaged fuse from its holder and replace with exactly the same type of fuse (F10A).
• Insert the fuse holder back in its place and reconnect power.
INSTALLATION
The unit should be mounted via its Omega Quick Release Clamp bracket. Always ensure that the
unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure
to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times of the
unit's weight.
The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate
safety rope.
Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing or servicing the fixture.
DMX CONNECTION
If you using a controller with 5-pin DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter cable.
Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.
The DMX cable on the last unit has to be terminated with a 120 ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2
(DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of a 3-pin XLR plug and plug it into the DMX output of the last unit.
Connect the units together in a `daisy chain` by plugging the XLR lead from the output of the unit
to the input of the following unit. The cable can not branched or split into a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a
very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when one of
the units' power is disconnected.
Each unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The address nu-
mber is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
3-pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5-pin XLR.
3-pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5-pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+),
Pin 4/Pin 5: Not used.
