1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box?

• 1 x SPOTMAN™ Fixture

• 1 x IEC Power Cord

• 1 x Mounting Bracket

Getting It Out Of the Box

Congratulations on purchasing SPOTMAN™, a most excellent choice! Now that

you’ve got your SPOTMAN™, you should carefully unpack the box and check the

contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything

looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and

keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all

packing materials. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is important

that the xture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

All xtures must be powered directly o a switched circuit and cannot be run

o a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat

or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch.

Warning! All xtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable

Ground (Earthing).

Getting A Hold Of Us

Please read these instructions carefully. They include

important information about the installation, usage and

maintenance of this product.

Safety Instructions

• Please keep this User Guide for future use. If you sell the unit to someone

else, be sure that they also receive this User Guide.

• ALWAYS make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage, and that

the line voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the de-

cal or rear panel of the xture.

• This product is intended for indoor use only.

• To prevent risk of re or shock, do not expose xture to rain or moisture.

• Make sure there are no ammable materials close to the unit while operating.

• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least

20in (50cm) from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are

blocked.

• ALWAYS disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse

and be sure to replace with same fuse size and type.

Fuse Replacement

With a at head screwdriver, wedge the fuse

holder out of its housing. Remove the damaged

fuse from its holder and replace with exact same

type fuse.

Connecting A Bunch of SPOTMAN's

You will need a serial data link to run light shows

using a DMX-512 controller or to run shows on

two or more xtures set to sync in master/slave operating mode. The combined

number of channels required by all the xtures on a serial data link determines

the number of xtures the data link can support.

Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. Also,

connecting more than 32 xtures on one serial data link without the use of a

DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX

signal. The maximum recommended cable-run distance is 500 meters (1640

ft). The maximum recommended number of xtures on a serial data link is 32

xtures.

Data/DMX Cabling

To link xtures together you’ll need data cables. You should use data-grade

cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic

interference.

For instance, Belden© 9841 meets the specications for EIA RS-485

applications. Standard microphone cables will “probably” be OK, but note that

they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distances. In any event,

the cable should have the following characteristics:

2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield

Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.

Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield – 55 pF/ft.

Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.

Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

Before replacing a fuse, disconnect the power cord.

ALWAYS replace with the same type and rating of fuse.

3. SETUP

Page 8

Cable Connectors

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connec-

tor on the other end. (Duh!)

To build your own DMX Terminator:

Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between pins 2 & 3 of the last xture. They are also

readily available from specialty retailers.

Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control

Step 1: Connect the male connector of the DMX cable to the female connector

(output) on the controller.

Step 2: Connect the female connector of the

DMX cable to the rst xture’s male connector

(input).

Note: It doesn’t matter which xture address is the rst one

connected. We recommend connecting the xtures in terms

of their proximity to the controller, rather than connecting the

lowest xture number rst, and so on.

Step 3: Connect other xtures in the chain

from output to input as above. Place a DMX

terminator on the output of the nal xture to

ensure best communication.

CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the xture’s chassis

ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground loop, and your xture 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.

3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?

If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. If

you’d like to build your own, the chart below details a proper cable conversion:

Conductor 3-Pin Female (Output) 5-Pin Male (Input)

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

Data 1- (Primary Data Link) Pin 2 Pin 2

Data 1+ (Primary Data Link) Pin 3 Pin 3

Data 2- (Optional Secondary Data Link) -- Pin 4 - Do Not Use

A Word on Termination:

DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however

errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal

errors, and therefore best practices include use of a

terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing

problems with erratic xture behavior, especially over

long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve

performance.

Fixture Linking (M/S Mode)

1. Connect the male connector side of the DMX cable to the output female

connector of the rst xture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from

the rst xture which will have a female

connector to the input connector of the next

xture consisting of a male connector. Then,

proceed to connect from the output as stated

above to the input of the following xture

and so on.

A quick note: Often, the setup for Master-Slave and

Standalone operation requires that the rst xture in the

chain be initialized for this purpose via either settings in the

control panel or DIP-switches. Secondarily, the xtures that

follow may also require a slave setting.

Check the “Operating Adjustments” section in this manual for complete

instructions for this type of setup and conguration.

Mounting & Rigging

This xture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is enough

room for ventilation. The fan or vent pathway must never be obstructed.

IMPORTANT: Regardless of the rigging option you choose for your xtures,

always be sure to secure your xture with a safety cable.

Mount the xture using a suitable "C" or "O"

type clamp. The clamp should be rated to hold at

least 10x the xture’s weight to ensure structural

stability.

Do not mount to surfaces of unknown strength,

and ensure properly rated rigging is used when

mounting xtures overhead.

Overhead mounting requires extensive experience,

which includes calculating working load limits,

knowledge of the installation material being used,

and periodic safety inspections.

If you lack these qualications, do not attempt

the installation yourself. Improper installation can

result in bodily injury.
