MOUNTING
Orientation
This fixture may be mounted in any position, provided there is adequate room for ventilation
When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp replacement access and routine maintenance.
Safety cables must always be used.
Never mount in places where the fixture will be exposed to rain, high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted
ventilation.
If the external flexible cable or cord of this light 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.
Make sure the installation position is stable before you fix the light. When the light is reverse hanging, make sure the light will
not fall from the truss, use the safety cable go through the truss and bracket of the light as a supporting, to avoid the light to
fall down. There is no entrance to the work area during mounting. Periodically check if the safety cable has fretted away or
clamp is loosened. We will not take any responsibility for damages caused by a badly installed unit.
Power Supply and Signal Cable Connection
1. Mains Power connection
The exclusive plug should be used between the connection of unit and power. Please ensure that the rated voltage and
frequency are accordance with the power supply. The required input voltage and frequency are: 100‐240VAC
We suggest that every light has an independent switch so that you can turn on or turn off the light randomly.
Note: the ground wire (yellow/green double‐color wire) must be safely connected, the electrical installation must be in
accordance with the related standards
CAUTION: When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material within a distance of min.5m!
2. Connection of Signal Cable
You can use the 3‐pin XLR cable to connect the output socket of the master and the input socket of the slave light. Connect
the DIGITAL OUT socket of the master and the IN socket of the slave light, then, connect the OUT socket to the IN socket of
the next light. Ordinal to connect all the lights as below:
1 2 3
I N IN IN
O U T O U T O U T
The connection between the output of master and input of product, it's available to use the 3 pins XLR cable which provided
by the manufacturer. Signal cable from the DMX output of the controller to the input of the first master light, and connect to
the DMX input of second slave light from the DMX output of the first master light, analogously, till connected all the slave
lights, and insert the last connector to the output of the final light. (Notice: the diameter of core of every cable should be
0.5mm at least, double core shelter cable should be used).The signal connecting must use the attached 3 pins XLR cable.
Notice, all the internal lead wire of the 3 pins XLR cable should not touch to each other or connect to the connector.
A DMX signal terminator is recommended on the last unit of the chain. DMX terminator is a XLR connector with a 120Ω
resistor between the pin 2 and pin 3 of the XLR connector
