Installation
The mounting brackets on the base allow flexible mounting options. The device can be attached to the wall using
the eyelets. The M10 threads allow mounting on a truss or similar rigging structure. Make sure that the pressure
compensation element does not face up. The device must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.
Notes
• This device is dust-tight and protected against splash water from any angle, making it suitable for outdoor use. It
designed for temporary use, however, in the context of events and not for permanent outdoor use.
• The seals and screw connections of the equipment must be checked regularly to ensure a fault-free operation. In
cases of doubt, consult a specialist workshop in due time.
Suspended installation
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Devices in overhead installations may cause severe injuries when crashing down. Make sure that the
device is installed securely and cannot fall down. The installation must be carried out by a specialist
who is familiar with the hazards and the relevant regulations.
1) The rigging structure must support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures to be installed on it.
2) Block access below the work area and work from a stable platform when installing the device.
3) Use rigging hardware that is compatible with the structure and capable of bearing the weight of the device.
Please refer to the "Accessories" section for a list of suitable rigging hardware.
4) Secure the device with a safety bond or other secondary attachment. This secondary safety attachment must
be sufficiently dimensioned in accordance with the latest industrial safety regulations and constructed in a way
that no part of the installation can fall down if the main attachment fails. Use the openings of the mounting
brackets for fixation of the safety bond. Fasten the safety bond in such a way that, in the event of a fall, the
maximum drop distance of the device will not exceed 20 cm.
5) After installation, the device requires inspections periodically to prevent the possibility of rot, deformation and
looseness.
DMX512 connection
For connection, use special DMX cables for high data flow. All jacks are galvanically isolated.
1) Feed the DMX control signal to the XLR input (3).
2) Each of the unit's DMX outputs (5) allows connection of one DMX chain, which in turn may consist of a
maximum of 32 DMX devices. At the last fixture in the DMX chain, the DMX line has to be terminated by a
resistor (120 Ω).
3) You can connect an additional DMX splitter or continue a DMX chain via the DMX feed-through output (4).
Mains connection
Connect the mains cable provided to the power input (1) and to a grounded mains socket.
LED indicators
When the unit is powered on the red power (6) indicator is lit up. When the unit receives a DMX signal the green
DMX indicator (7) comes on.
