2. SAFETYINFORMATION • DO NOT connect the fixture into a dimmer. Use constant line voltage only to avoid damage. • Make sure you are connecting the fixture to line voltage that is not higher than the voltage stated on the rear of the fixture. • The LED PAR is for indoor use only. Do not expose the fixture to rain, or other moisture. The LED PAR cannot be used as a buoy. • Do not operate the fixture with flammable items nearby. NEVER lay anything on the fixture while it is on. • Give it space! The LED PAR needs at least 6in (15cm) from other surfaces and objects. Make sure that none of the ventilation or fan slots are blocked. • ALWAYS disconnect the fixture from its power source before servicing or cleaning. • ALWAYS secure your LED PAR using a safety cable. NEVER hang or carry it by its cord. It has a yoke for a reason! • DO NOT operate when the ambient temperatures are higher than 104°F (40°C). If it’s too hot for you, it’s too hot for your LED PAR! • If your LED PAR stops working properly, stop using it immediately. NEVER try to repair it yourself. Attempting repairs in the field can result in damage or injury. Please contact us for repairs or replacement.
3. SETUP DMX Cabling The LED PAR has standard 3-pin XLR connectors for DMX con- trol and daisy-chaining. Up to 32 devices can be daisy-chained together on a single run. Standard microphone cables will probably work OK, but DMX is a serial data transmission with impedance specifications that are different than analog audio.
DMX Data - Pin 3 Pin 3 not connected not connected not connected not connected Master/Slave Mode The LED PAR also has a Master/Slave mode. In this mode you can set one fixture in the line to act as the master controller – and up to 32 other fixtures can be connected and will mirror the operation of the first. In this configuration, you do not need a DMX controller. Master Fixture DMX IN DMX OUT Connect the fixtures just as you would for DMX control.
They are hard to see in the dark, and since most of us don’t quickly think in binary, they are tricky to set properly. The LED PAR has an LED display with a simple menu system. There are four control buttons below the display that allow you to navigate the control menus.

Since there are no lamps to replace, maintenance is simple - just keep your LED PAR clean and dry. Especially if you are in a dusty or haze-filled environment, there are some simple steps you can take to ensure a long, happy life for your LED PAR. Keeping the lens area clean will ensure maximum light output. Use glass cleaner on a soft cloth to wipe down the lens area and the outer enclosure of the LED PAR whenever it gets dirty or dusty.
