• Please restart it 20 minutes later after turning off light , until full-cooling. Frequent switching will reduce the life span of lamps and bulbs; intermittent using will improve the life of bulbs and lamps.
• In order to make sure the product is used well, please read the Manual carefully.

4. Cable connection（DMX）

Use a cable conforming to specifications EIA RS-485: 2-pole twisted, shielded, 120Ohm characteristic impedance, 22-24 AWG, low capacity. Do not use microphone cable or other cable with characteristics differing from those specified. The end connections must be made using XLR type 3 or 5-pin male/female connectors. A terminating plug must be inserted into the last projector with a resistance of 120Ohm (minimum 1/4 W) between terminals 2 and 3.Figure 1 shows a signal line connection diagram (the fixture in the figure is an example picture and does not represent the real appearance of this product).

IMPORTANT: The wires must not make contact with each other or with the metal casing of the connectors. The casing itself must be connected to the shield braid and to pin 1 of the connectors.

Figure 1 Diagram of the DMX Cable connection

5. Rigging (Optional)

As shown in Figure 2 (the fixture in the figure is an example picture and does not represent the real appearance of this product),this equipment can be positioned and fixed by clamp in every direction of the stage. Locking system makes it easy to fasten to the bracket.

Attention! Two clamps is needed to fix the equipment. Every clamp is locked by fastener of 1/4 kind. Fastener can only be locked clockwise.

Attention! Fasten a safety string to the additional hole of side aluminum piece. The secondary accessory can not hang on the delivery handle. Nip the equipment on bracket.

• Check if rigging clamp (not including the one inside) damaged or not? If stand ten times weight as the equipment. Make sure the architecture can stand ten times weight as all the equipments, clamps, wirings and other additional fixtures.
• Screws for clamping must be fixed firmly. Take one M12 screw (Grade 8.8 or higher) to clamp bracket, and then screw the nuts.
• Level the two hanging points at the bottom of clamp. Insert fastener to the bottom, lock the two levers by 1/4 rotating clockwise; then install another clamp.
• Install on safety string which stands at least ten times weight as equipment. Terminal of the accessory is designed for clamps.
• Make sure pan/tilt lock unlocked or not. Keep the distance more than 1M from equipment to flammable material or lighting source.

6. RDM Note

RDM is an extended version of DMX512-A protocol. It is a remote device management protocol. Traditional DMX512 protocol communication is one-way communication. The protocol is based on RS-485 bus. RS-485 is a time-sharing multi-point, half-duplex protocol. Only one port is allowed to output at the same time. So, when using RDM, we should pay attention to it. The following points:

• To use console or host device that supports RDM host protocol.
• Use bidirectional signal amplifier, traditional one-way signal amplifier is not suitable for RDM protocol, because the RMD protocol needs feedback data, the use of one-way amplifier will block the return of data, resulting in no search fixture;
• All fixture must be set to DMX mode to ensure only one host on the cable.
• A 120 ohm impedance matching resistor must be inserted between terminals 2 and 3 of the terminal plug. When the signal line is longer, reducing the signal reflection will make the differential signal more stable and beneficial to the quality of communication.
• When the fixture appears to accept DMX control, but can not been search by RDM host, first check the signal amplifier, and then check whether the signal line 2, 3 lines have bad contact.

Chapter 2 Panel operation

1. Brief

The diagram of the display panel show as Figure 3, above area is title for fixture description, the white font in the lower right corner shows the fault status of the fixture (when the fault information is not viewed, it displays "ERR", otherwise it displays "NOR"), and the status bar below shows the signal of the current fixture , fixture status, communication status, etc. (the panel in the figure is an example picture and does not represent the real appearance of the product panel，please select the panel of the same type as your product for reference.).

RDM protocol is embed in fixture, user set DMX address via cable using the controller support RDM function. when fixture was search by controller, displayer will echo ‘RDM’ indicate this RDM is work.
