  • Page 6: Safety Instructions

    ATTENTION: This device is only suitable for professional use! Protection class IP 20 - only for use in dry environments (indoors)! ATTENTION: JB-Lighting Lichtanlagentechnik GmbH does not authorise the use of its devices in life support systems. Life-supporting systems are systems whose purpose is to maintain or stabilise life and whose defect or malfunction may result in death or injury to persons.
  • Page 7 If the M18 Profile is operated below 20°C, gobo/prism swapping and gobo/prism rotation are reduced in speed. This is a protective mechanism of the M18 Profile, as at low temperatures the lubricant is relatively viscous in the rotational mechanism and can therefore cause the effect to be slurred.

  • Page 8: Installation

    Schuko cable and a safety note. Open the packaging at the top and remove the powerCON TRUE1 cable, the inlay and the safety instructions. The Omega brackets are located under the spotlight. Check the M18 Profile for possible transport damage. This should be communicated immediately to the transport company.

  • Page 9: Mains Connection

    4.4 Wiring the power feed-through ATTENTION: Only have it carried out by a specialist! The M18 Profile has a powerCON-TRUE1 out power output. Depending on the local conditions several devices can be linked by powerCON-TRUE1 in and powerCON-TRUE1 out. Connect a maximum of two (when using 230V/16A) M18 Profiles in a row.

  • Page 10: Signal Connections

    Special cables with etherCON connectors are recommended by Neutrik. The two sockets on the M18 Profile are connected to each other via a switch. Up to 10 devices can be connected in series without any delay. Of course, the spotlights can also be supplied in a star configuration via an external switch.

  • Page 11: Mounting The Devices

  • Page 19 LED module runs cooler and thus more “stress-free”. There is no danger to the life of the device in any mode, as the M18 Profile has a temperature safety shutdown. In addition, the LED module is switched off from an ambient temperature of 60°C!
  • Page 20 In the menu item EFFECT SPEED you can set the maximum speed, the effects and thus also the volume of the effects of the M18 Profile. 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.

  • Page 22: Standalone Operation

    Always with the background information that the headlamp keeps the colors constant. 5.6 STANDALONE operation In standalone operation, up to 20 program steps can be stored in the M18 Profile, 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 M18 Profile and save them, or you set the DMX values via a connected DMX console and then store them in the M18 Profile.

  • Page 23: Info-Menu

    To accept the DMX values of a connected console, you must first enable the Capture DMX input. To do this, go to the CAPT DMX menu item. The display now shows CAPTURE DMX 01/01, press the Enter key to switch to START CAPTURE. Now the M18 Profile reacts to the signals from the external console.
