Installation Remove all packing materials from the Zipp LED. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed. Connect all cables. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly. Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.
One Zipp LED (Sound-control) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation. Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket. The dipswitces have no influence during the Sound controlled modus. When the device is not connected by a DMX-cable, it functions as a stand-alone device.
Multiple Zipp LEDs (DMX Control) 1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation. Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141). 3. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Zipp LEDs and other devices. 4.
(DMX Dip Switches "ON") for each unit. Flip appropriate DMX dip switches on each unit. Example: 1. If you want to give a Zipp LED DMX address 133, you first have to find the number 133 in the DMX Chart. (See page 11) 2.
Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.
3. Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing. 4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue. The Showtec Zipp LED requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced.
