Fixture Installation
DO install and operate by qualified operator. Fixture(s) should be installed in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or away from areas were unauthorized personnel might reach the fixture by hand. NEVER stand directly below the fixture(s) when rigging, removing or servicing.
Always ensure that the unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping off during operation. Ensure that the trussing or area of installation must be able to hold 10 times the weight without any deformation. Always attach a safety cable that can hold at least 12 times the weight of the fixture whenever installing this fixture in a suspended environment to ensure that the fixture will not fall if the clamp fails.
This fixture is fully operational in three different mounting positions: hanging upside down, mounted sideways on trussing, or set on a flat level surface. Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
Effect Wheels
DANGER!
Install the rotating gobos with the device switched off only. Unplug from mains before changing the rotating gobos!
CAUTION: Never unscrew the screws of the rotating gobo as the ball bearing will otherwise be opened!

Replacing Rotating Gobos
- Unplug the power and signal adapter cables at A and unscrew the four screws at B to take out the component;
- Unscrew the six screws at C to separate the color & gobo wheel component;
- Unscrew the screw at D and the nine screws at E, then remove the belts to take out the rotating gobo wheel component;
- Gently lift the gobo holder from the edge of the rotating gobo wheel (reverse side) as F shows and slowly pull it out
- Remove the spring lock at G with an appropriate tool like tweezers (if the gobo is coated with glass glue, do remove it with some good glass cleaning fluid before removing the spring lock to avoid damage to the gobo).
- Do not touch the surface of the gobo with bare fingers. The gobo has a small position point at its edge which has to aim at the position point on the gobo holder like H shows (glossy side towards the light source)
- Insert the gobo holder back into the rotating gobo wheel component in this way that its position point has to exactly aim at the center of the rotating gobo wheel.
- After installation, put the component back to the fixture.

Control By Universal DMX Controller
DMX512 Connection
- At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120 ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last unit.
- Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit to the input of the next unit. The cable can only be used in series and cannot be connected in parallel. DMX 512 is a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
- The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
- Each lighting unit needs to have a DMX address to receive the data by the controller. The address number is between 1-512.
- The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
- 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin4, Pin5 not used.
Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to 512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Settings, press the ENTER button to confirm, use the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address, press the ENTER button to confirm, the present address will blink in the display, use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from 001 to 512, press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or let the unit idle 30 seconds to exit menu mode.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.
| Channel mode | Unit 1Address | Unit 2Address | Unit 3Address | Unit 4Address |
| 30 channels | 1 | 31 | 61 | 91 |
| 24 channels | 1 | 25 | 49 | 73 |
DMX512 Configuration
Please control the fixture by referring to the configurations below
Attentions:
- The unit will maintain the last condition until reset if you cut-off the DMX signal.
- For the channel Function, keep the value for about 3 seconds, then the corresponding function will take into effect.

Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
- Check the connected power and main fuse.
- Measure the voltage.
- Check the power indicator to see whether it can be lit up or not.
B. Not responding to the DMX controller
- Check whether the DMX connectors and the DMX cables are connected correctly.
- Check whether the DMX address is correctly set.
- If the intermittent DMX signal problem occurs, check whether the XLR socket and the signal cable are well connected.
- Try it with another DMX controller.
- Check whether the DMX cables run near or alongside to the high-voltage cables, which may damage or interfere with the signal circuit.
C. One of the channels is not working well
- The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB might be broken.
- The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
Fixture Cleaning
It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean to ensure the maximum light output and allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life. The fixture must be cleaned regularly to avoid dust, dirt and smoke-fluid residues building up on or within the fixture. The cleaning frequency depends on the application environment. Clean the fixture immediately if the dust enters it to avoid damage to the optical lens due to excessive dust.
- A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no circumstances should solvents be used.
- Always dry the parts carefully.
- Clean the external optical lens at least every 20 days and the internal optical lens every 30 days.
