Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one way cool, remote controlled PAR

xture!Nowthatyou’vegotThePuck(orhopefully,Pucks!), 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offaswitchedcircuitandcannot

be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if

the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to 100%

switch.

AC Voltage Switch -Notallxtureshaveavoltageselectswitch,so

pleaseverifythatthextureyoureceiveissuitableforyourlocalpower

supply.Seethelabelonthextureorrefertothexture’sspecications

chartformoreinformation.Axture’slistedcurrentratingisitsaverage

currentdrawundernormalconditions.Checkthextureordevicecare-

fully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is set to

the correct line voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit

matches the line voltage applied. Damage to your xture may re-

sult if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage indicat-

ed on the voltage selector switch. All xtures must be connected

to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

Getting A Hold Of Us

If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email. We’ll

be happy to help, honest.

Note: You must rst synchronize the remote control with the xture.

1. Press the <MENU>buttononthextureuntilthedigitaldisplayshowsAddr, and

then press the <ENTER> button for 5 seconds. The digital display then shows rFrt,

accompaniedbyashes.Thenpointtheremotecontrolattheinfraredreceiverinthefront

ofthextureandpressanybutton.Theremoteisnowsynchronizedtocontrolthexture.

(Eachxturecanstoreuptothreeremotecontrolcodes)

2. Clear the remote code: press the <MENU>buttononthextureuntilthedigitaldisplay

shows Addr, then press <ENTER> for 5 seconds, the digital display then shows rFrt, then

press the <MENU> key to clear the stored remote control code.

3. To set DMX address: Push the remote control <S.A> key 5 seconds, and the digital

display will show Addr(ashing),thenpressthenumberkeystoentertheaddresscode

you wish to use, or use the <+/-> buttons to scroll through your choices.

4. To select a DMX channel mode: Push the remote control <S.C> key 2 seconds, and the

digital display will show ChNd(ashing),thenpressthenumberkeys<1>, <2>, or <3>

to select from the 3 different channel modes, or use the <+/-> buttons to scroll through

your choices.

5. You can set R/G/B/A/W colors with the remote by pushing either the Red <R> button for

red, the Green <G> button for green, and the Blue <B.O> button for blue. Push the black

<W.A>buttonquicklyforamber,andpushandholdthesame<W.A> button for 5 seconds

for white. Each color’s intensity is then adjustable using the <+/-> buttons (0-255).

Note: Make sure to point the remote control directly at the receiver on the

product which is on the front of the unit.

3. SETUP

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. Insert the fuse

holder back in its place and reconnect

power.

Connecting A Bunch of Puck Flat LED PAR Cans

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mas-

ter/slaveoperatingmode.Thecombinednumberofchannelsrequired

byallthexturesonaserialdatalinkdeterminesthenumberofx-

tures 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 distanc-

es. 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

Cable Connectors

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

connector on the other end. (Duh!)

CAUTION:Donotallowcontactbetweenthecommonandthex-

ture’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.

They are widely available over the internet and from specialty retailers 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

DMX Data (-) Pin 2 Pin 2

DMX Data (+) Pin 3 Pin 3

Not Used. No Connection. No Connection.

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connec-

tor (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.

Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the

DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of

therstxture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the

rstxturewhichwillhavea(female)3pinconnec-

tortotheinputconnectorofthenextxturecon-

sisting of a (male) 3 pin 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 re-

quireaslavesetting.

Check the “Operating Adjustments” section in this manual for com-

plete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.

It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. 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sta-

bility. Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure

properly“rated”riggingisusedwhenmountingxturesoverhead.

Adjusttheangleofthexturebylooseningbothknobsandtiltingthe

xture.Afterndingthedesiredposition,retightenbothknobs.

•Whenselectinginstallationlocation,takeintoconsiderationlamp

replacement access (if applicable) and routine maintenance.

•SafetycablesMUSTALWAYSbeused.

•Nevermountinplaceswherethexturewillbeexposedtorain,

high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.
