P1 5 ATTENTION: This fixture corresponds to protection class I. For this reason, this spotlight must be connected to a mains socket with earthing contact. Never connect this device to a dimmer pack. During first use, some smoke and odour may occur. This is normal and does not necessarily mean that the device is defective.
P1 5 ATTENTION: The distance between the light emission and the surface to be illuminated must be at least 4,0 meters. ATTENTION: Allow a fixture distance of at least 1,0 meter from easily flammable material The maximum ambient temperature of 45°C must not be exceeded. ATTENTION: The front lens must be replaced if it is visibly damaged to the extent that its function is impaired, e.g.
P1 5 Connection outside Europe: The P15 may only be operated on the following power supply systems: Mains 2 wires, 1 phase 3 wires, 1 phase 4 wires, 3 phases 5.3 Mains connection Connected loads: Voltage 200-240 V, frequency 50 - 60 Hz, power max. 1100 VA The electrical safety and function of the device can only be guaranteed if it is connected to a properly installed protective conductor system.
P1 5 5.5 Signal connections 5.5.1 DMX cabling The DMX cabling (signal lines) should be done with a 4-pin cable with shielding. We recommend a DMX cable (110 Ohm, 2x0.22mm or 4x0.22mm ). The plugs and sockets are 5-pin XLR connectors, which can be purchased in specialist shops.
This type of assembly only with special mounting plate To mount the unit on a trussing system use two of the original JB-Lighting omega brackets with original Camloc-connectors. You have following four possibilities to mount the omega brackets. 223,65 The Camlocs must snap in to be locked properly. Ensure that the structure (for example a truss system ) to which you are attaching the fixture is secure.
"JB-Lighting" is displayed means no DMX signal is present. A very rapidly flashing display illumination when "JB-Lighting" is displayed means that a new error has been stored in the "ERROR LIST", also an error message in the display (e.g. *PAN TIMEOUT) indicates this current error.
It is possible to configure all the settings displayed by the menu, for example the DMX address can be set. 6.1 Menu overview P15 Profile grey - corresponds to the default setting...

P1 5 CAMERA MODE - setting the repetition frequency of the LEDs To avoid flickering during TV recordings, the P15 can be adjusted from 50 HZ (PAL, Secam, repetition rate 100Hz) to 60 HZ (NTSC, repetition rate 100Hz) for different camera systems. Flex mode (repetition rate 600Hz is set when using different camera systems or when shooting with mobile phone cameras or similar non-professional cameras.

P1 5 EFFECT SPEED - setting effect speed In the menu item EFFECT SPEED you can set the maximum speed, the effects and thus also the volume of the effects of the P15. The following setting options are available. WHISPER: The speed of the effects is reduced so much that a volume of 29dB (A) is not exceed- SILENT: The speed of the effects is slightly faster and thus a bit louder than with the Whisper setting.
P1 5 6.6 STANDALONE operation In standalone operation, up to 10 program steps can be stored in the P15, which can then run in an endless loop. The images can be saved in two ways. Either you program the desired DMX values directly on P15 and save them, or you set the DMX values via a connected DMX console and then store them in the P15.
P1 5 Operation via master-slave function: Connect the P15 via DMX lines and activate the REMOTE menu item for all slave devices. To do this, navigate in the STANDALONE menu to the REMOTE sub-menu. Activate the REMOTE function by pressing and holding “ENTER”, and also pressing “ESC”. The spotlight is in slave mode when the display shows the status REMOTE INACTIVE or REMOTE ACTIVE.

The P15 stores all occurring errors internally. An error message can have a harmless cause. If you experience frequent error messages, please contact your dealer or the JB-Lighting service department. All error messages are displayed with the respective frequency and can be deleted.
P1 5 IDENTIFY DEVICE The RDM command IDENTIFY DEVICE can be called up or deactivated via this menu item. 8.2 Changing gobos ATTENTION: Allow the device to cool down and disconnect the device from the mains before opening the device. Touching live parts (high voltage) can give you an electric shock.
P1 5 8.3 Gobo size If you want to have your own gobos produced, please note the following dimensions: Usable diameter, rotating gobowheel 1: 22.00 mm Usable diameter, rotating gobowheel 2: 23.00mm Outer diameter: 27.90 mm (+0/-0.1 mm) Maximum thickness: 1.1 mm 8.4 Gobo handling instructions The used Gobo material for coating has low reflection and therefore it need to be handled ac- cording to following specification.
P1 5 8.7 Optional pan/tilt limitation The P15 profile offers the option of installing a pan/tilt limitation. The following parts are included with the limitation: 2x Tilt stop with fastening screw 2x Pan stop with fastening screw 8.7.1 Installation of the limitation The pictures show the installation of the pan/tilt limiter on the M18.
Page 39
P1 5 This results in a tilt path as shown in the two images on the right, as in the example from -66° to 66° Now the parts for the PAN limitation are installed. To do this, place the perforated bricks on the intended screw holes according to the desired angle and fix them with the two TX10 screws (see pictures).
P1 5 Now the fixture has to be taught that it has new end points for Pan/Tilt. To do this, press and hold buttons 1 and 3 below the display and plug in the fixture. As soon as the main menu appears, the buttons can be released.
P1 5 8.8 Cleaning the device ATTENTION: Allow the device to cool down and disconnect the device from the mains before opening the device. Touching live parts (high voltage) can give you an electric shock. You should check the function of the fans in the head and foot at regular intervals.
P1 5 8.9.2 Checking the plastic parts The plastic parts of the P18 MK2 Profile should be checked regularly for damage and the onset of cracks. If a plastic part is cracked, do not use this fixture until the damaged part is replaced. Cracks or other damage to the plastic parts can be caused by transport or manipulation by third parties, as well as the aging process can affect plastic materials.
