Attention and installation

Maintenance

  • Disconnect from mains before starting maintenance operation.
  • The lamps should be kept dry to avoid working in wet environments.
  • Intermittent use would effectively extend the lamp life.
  • In order to obtain good ventilation and lighting effects, to pay attention to regular cleaning fan, fan network, and lens.
  • Don't use alcohol and other organic solvents to clean the housing, so as to avoid injury.

Attention

  • This lighting fixture is for professional use only.
  • Ensure that the power source has a proper ground connection before using the lamp.
  • Don't place this product in a place that is easy to loosen or vibrate.
  • In the process of using, if the lamp is abnormal, stop using the lamp in time.
  • In order to ensure the service life of the product, the product should not be placed in a damp or leaking place, and the temperature should not exceed 60 degrees Above environmental work.
  • When the bulb is used, the change of supply voltage should not exceed ±10%, the voltage is too high, which will shorten the life of the bulb, and if the voltage is too low, it will affect the light color of the bulb.
  • After power outage, it takes 20 minutes to fully cool the lamp before it can be powered on again.
  • The lamp rotating and pasting accessories must be checked regularly, loosened, shaken and strengthened in time to prevent accidents.
  • Please read this note carefully to ensure the normal use of the product.

DMX connection

See figure 1.
The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin or 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. Please use the twisted pair signal line specially shielded for DMX 512. The signal line is generally connected at a distance of 150m. When the long distance signal is transmitted, the DMX512 signal amplifier must be added.
Use a shielded twisted pair signal line to connect from the controller's DMX output to the DMX input of the first device, And connect from the DMX output of the first device to the DMX input of the second device, by parity of reasoning, Until all the lamps and lanterns are connected, Then install a terminal plug on the last connecting lamp output 3 core Jack of each link.(Weld a 4/1 W,120 Ω resistor between the 2 and 3 pins.)
DMX connection diagram


Important tip: the line cannot contact each other or with the metal shell.

  • The method of calculating the initial address code of fixture:
    The starting address code of the current lamp is equal to (the starting address code of the previous lamp)+(number of channels of the lamp) stating:
    1. the initial address code value of the first lamp is A001.
    2. The number of basic channels for the controller shall be greater than or equal to the total number of channels used in fixture.
    3. Note: when using any controller, each lamp must have its own starting address code, if the first lamp initial address code set A001,the lamp path number of 16; Then the starting address code for the second lamp is set to A017; the starting address code for the third lamp is set to A033; and so on.(this setup also needs to be determined by different control stations)

Fixtures installation

Lamps can be placed horizontally, obliquely and upside down. Always pay attention to the installation method when hanging obliquely and upside down.
As shown in the figure 2, To ensuring safety, Before locating the lamps, to ensure the stability of the installation place, In upside down installation must be Keep the lamp don't drop the support frame, Prevent lamps from falling and sliding, need to use safety rope through support frame and lamp handle.
Pedestrians are forbidden to pass under the lamp during installation and commissioning, check safety rope regularly for wear and tear, hook screws are No loosening.
We shall not bear any responsibility for all the consequences arising from the fall of the lamp due to the unstable installation of the hanging.

TROUBLESHOOTING

It is recommended some solution for some normal trouble shooting. Any inextricable problems should always be handling by the professional person. Disconnect the power supply before maintenance the light.

  1. LAMP OFF

    • Please check if install the suitable voltage
    • Please check whether the power supply will reach the end of their life can explode, please replace a same description power supply.
    • Please check if the power supply is enough.
    • Please check whether the DMX 512 controller pass the "turn on" order.
  2. The unit couldn't accept the control order

    • Please check the start code address and the function option are correct.
    • Please check whether the communicate control cable is on good connection or the cable is too long or interrupt.
    • Please check the control system is not valid, check the signal amplifier of chain connected is valid.
    • Please check whether the communicate cable is too long or the other equipment is mutually conjugate.
    • Please arrange the wire well, shorter the signal cable, put the high voltage cable and low voltage cable separately.
    • Add the signal amplifying isolator.
    • Signal cable is used the excellent screening doublet.
    • The end of the light end and the end resistance(120OHM).
  3. The light can't move

    • Please check if the power supply is suitable for the light voltage data.
    • Please check the light if they are deformation, inside parts is broken, become wet etc will lead the loose contact.
    • Please check the if the inside lead wire and the connector is loose.
    • Please check the electric parts(such as the transformer, PCB board, controller) is short-circuit or burn down.
  4. The pan&tilt couldn't work normally on working

    • Please check according to the above step by step.
    • Please check the belt of the X/Y is broken.
    • Please check the X/Y direction data to the receiver is damage.
    • Re-projector reset.
