LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 13

14 Safety instructions NOTICE! Power supply Before connecting the device, ensure that the input voltage (AC outlet) matches the voltage rating of the device and that the AC outlet is protected by a residual current circuit breaker. Failure to do so could result in damage to the device and possibly injure the user. Unplug the device before electrical storms occur and when it is unused for long periods of time to reduce the risk of electric shock or fire. LED floodlight 14

15 Features 3 Features The LED floodlight is particularly suitable for generating dynamic surface effects in the context of professional lighting tasks, for example at events, on rock stages, in theatres and musicals. Special features of the device: 240 LEDs in eight segments (120 warm white, 120 cold white, 10 mm each) Control via DMX (4 different modes), via buttons and display on the unit as well as an optionally available IR remote control 20 preprogrammed automatic shows Sound control Master / Slave mode Robust metal housing LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 15

16 Installation 4 Installation Unpack and carefully check that there is no transportation damage before using the unit. Keep the equipment packaging. To fully protect the device against vibration, dust and moisture during transportation or storage use the original packaging or your own packaging material suitable for transport or storage, respectively. WARNING! Risk of injury caused by falling objects Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain. LED floodlight 16

17 Installation NOTICE! Risk of overheating Always ensure sufficient ventilation. The ambient temperature must always be below 40 C (104 F). NOTICE! Use of stands When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a safe and stable position and that the weight of the device does not exceed the maximum permissible load capacity of the stand. LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 17

18 Installation NOTICE! Possible data transmission errors For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordinary microphone cables. Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or amplifiers. Mounting options You can install the device standing or hanging upside down. When in use, the device must be mounted at a solid surface or clamped to an approved truss. Use the openings of the brackets provided for mounting. Always work from a stable platform whenever installing, moving or servicing the unit. Block access under the work area. The safety cable must be attached to both brackets. LED floodlight 18

19 Installation Please note that this device must not be connected to a dimmer. LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 19

20 Starting up 5 Starting up Establish all connections as long as the unit is switched off. Use the shortest possible highquality cables for all connections. LED floodlight 20

21 Starting up Connections in DMX mode Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W). LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 21

22 Starting up DMX indicator When the display is flashing in DMX mode, no DMX signal is received. Perhaps the DMX controller is shut down or the wiring is incorrect. If the display lights up solid, the device is receiving a valid DMX signal. Connections in master/slave mode When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so on. LED floodlight 22

45 Plug and connection assignments 9 Plug and connection assignments Introduction This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equipment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed. Please take our tips, because especially in Sound & Light caution is indicated: Even if a plug fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a short circuit or just a not working light show! DMX connections The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suitable XLR plug. Pin Configuration 1 Ground, shielding 2 Signal inverted (DMX, cold signal ) 3 Signal (DMX+, hot signal ) LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 45

46 Troubleshooting 10 Troubleshooting NOTICE! Possible data transmission errors For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordinary microphone cables. Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or amplifiers. In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting: LED floodlight 46

47 Troubleshooting Symptom The unit does not work, no light. No response to the DMX controller. Remedy Check the mains connection and the fuse. 1. When the display is flashing, e.g. d001, no valid DMX signal can be received. Make sure that the DMX controller is turned on. Check the DMX ports and cables for proper connection. 2. If the display does not flash and still no response, check the address settings and the DMX polarity. 3. Try using another DMX controller. 4. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or alongside to high voltage cables that may cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuits. If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 47

48 Cleaning 11 Cleaning Optical lenses Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the device. Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no ). Always dry the parts carefully. LED floodlight 48

49 Protecting the environment 12 Protecting the environment Disposal of the packaging material For the transport and protective packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling. Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of. Do not just dispose these materials with your normal household waste, but make sure that they are fed to a recovery. Please follow the notes and markings on the packaging. Disposal of batteries Batteries must not be disposed of as domestic waste or thrown into fire. Dispose of the batteries according to national or local regulations regarding hazardous waste. To protect the environment, dispose of empty batteries at your retail store or at appropriate collection sites. LED Bar 240/8 CW/WW DMX 49
