04) When the battery is fully charged, the green LED on the left-hand side of the display will light up.
You cannot remove the lithium-ion battery and charge it separately.
The battery can only be charged when it is connected to the Helix.
Important!
Do not charge the lithium-ion battery for more than 24 hours.
Please recharge the battery in time, for example when the battery is (almost) depleted. If you do not
use the Helix for a long time, please recharge the battery at least once a month, in order to prevent
the lithium-ion battery from becoming damaged.
After a cycle use of 300 times, the battery capacity will be reduced to about 8 AH (70% of the total
capacity). Please reduce the charge and discharge times, to extend the battery lifetime. After 300
times of charging and discharging, you need to replace the battery.

Fixture Linking

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to
run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master / slave operating mode. The combined
number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the
data link can support.
Important:
Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the
EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.
Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically
isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.
Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @ 120 V: 20 fixtures
Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a power link @ 230 V: 43 fixtures
Ordercode: 43740
