1. BEFORE YOU BEGIN What iS included • Thinpar 64 • Power Cord • Warranty Card • User Manual unpacking inStructionS Carefully unpack the carton, then check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and have been received in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping, or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing. -
Page 4: Safety Instructions
• Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the unit while operating. • The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 20” (50 cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked. • Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing the fuse and be sure to replace with same type fuse. • Secure fixture to fastening device using a safety chain. • Maximum ambient temperature is 104° F (40° C). Do not operate the fixture at temperatures higher than this. • In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Never try to repair the unit yourself. • Never connect the device to a dimmer pack. • Make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged. • Never disconnect the power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord. • Never carry the fixture directly from the cord. Always use the hanging/mounting bracket. • Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on. thinpar 64 users Manual... -

To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating indicates its average current draw under normal conditions. Always connect the fixture to a switched circuit. Never connect the fixture to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used only as a 0 to 100% switch. Always connect the fixture to a circuit with a suitable electrical ground. poWer linking This fixture contains power linking via the outlet located on the back panel. Please see the diagram below for further explanation. The maximum quantity of fixtures that may be linked is 40 units @ 120V, 60 units @ 230V, 10A circuit max. thinpar 64 users Manual... -
Page 7: Mounting Orientation
Mounting orientation The lightweight ThinPar 64 may be mounted in any position. rigging Be sure that the structure can support the weight of the fixture. Please see the “Technical Specifications” section of this manual for a detailed weight listing. Mount the fixture securely. This may be done with a screw, nut and bolt, or a hanging clamp (not included). The hole in each bracket can fit a 13mm screw or bolt. When rigging, consider routine maintenance and back panel access. Please see the following steps for installation. • If the power link out is intended to be used with multiple fixtures, take into account the length of each power cable, and mount the fixtures close enough to one another to account for this. •... -

Page 13: Appendix
8. APPENDIx dMX priMer There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together and will all respond exactly the same. Consult the Owner’s Manual to your DMX controller for more information. -
Page 14: Fixture Linking
Use a cable which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The cable must have the following characteristics: Type: shielded, 2-conductor, twisted pair Maximum capacitance between conductors: 30 pF/ft Maximum capacitance between conductor and shield: 55 pF/ft Maximum resistance: 20 Ohms/1000 ft Nominal impedance: 100 ~ 140 Ohms caBle connectorS Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end. Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture may perform erratically. Test cables with an Ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not grounded or shorted to the shield or each other. thinpar 64 users Manual... -
