1. Unpacking

Thank you for choosing the elektraLite Stingray fixture. For your own safety and to avoid any problems during installation or

in operation, please read this manual before installing the fixture. This manual covers important information on installation and

applications. Please keep this manual for future reference.

ElektraLite Stingray profile spot fixture uses a single 300 watt COB led. Please unpack the elektraLite Stingray carefully

and check whether it was damaged in shipping.

The following item should be in the box with the fixture:-

Color/Gel frame

A Powercon blue Power Input cable

A White Powercon White Output connector

Safety Cable

2. Safety Instructions. (Please read them).

The fixture has left the factory in perfect condition. In order to maintain this condition and to ensure a safe operation, it is

absolutely necessary for the user to follow the safety instructions and warning notes written in this user manual. ElektraLite

Stingray is a high voltage fixture. Be careful when dealing with high voltages.

Please read this manual. If you do not read this manual and damages occur to the elektraLite Stingray, then it could

void the warranty.

During shipping, the elektraLite Stingray may have been exposed to high temperature changes or humidity changes. So, as

a precaution, do not switch the elektraLite Stingray on immediately. Condensation can damage the elektraLite Stingray so

leave the elektraLite Stingray switched off until it has reached room temperature. The elektraLite Stingray is an INDOOR

operational fixture. Do not operate this fixture outdoors or anywhere there is high humidity.

The electric connection must carry out by a qualified person and it is absolutely essential that the elektraLite Stingray be

grounded. So under no circumstances break off the ground pin on the Edison plug or use the fixture where a ground is not

present. A ground pin, like the fuse for the elektraLite Stingray is there for safety.

Always use the on/off switch and turn it to OFF before disconnect the elektraLite Stingray. Do not unlock the blue Powercon

connector without turning the on/off switch to OFF. Powercon website has the following warning:-

Attention: The powercon is a connector without breaking capacity, i.e. the powercon should not be connected or

disconnected under load or live!

Please see http://www.neutrik.com/en/audio/powercon/powercon-20-a/

Failure to turn off the elektraLite Stingray first using the on/off switch could result in damage to the fixture’s electronics.

This is not covered in the warranty.

Also do not grab the power cord and pull out the Edison plug by pulling on the power cord itself. This could cause damage to

the cord, Edison plug and/or the fixture itself.

Please keep the elektraLite Stingray away from children and the general public. Please be intelligent and use common

sense when operating the elektraLite Stingray.

3. General Guidelines.

ElektraLite Stingray is a lighting fixture for professional use on stages, in clubs, theatres, churches etc.

ElektraLite Stingray should only be operated at between 120 to 240 volts and only indoors.

ElektraLite Stingray should not be operated 24/7 (24 hours a day; 7 days a week). ElektraLite Stingray needs operation

breaks to ensure that it will work for a long time without problems. Please do not shake the elektraLite Stingray and avoid

using brute force when installing or operating it.

When choosing the location to install the elektraLite Stingray, please make sure that it is not exposed to extreme heat,

moisture or dust and never install it outdoors. Make sure that the fixture has a good amount of free space around it for air flow.

Do not install it in a confined space or have insulation around the fixture. The minimum distance between the elektraLite

Stingray and the illuminated surface must be more than 3 feet.

Always mount the elektraLite Stingray with an appropriate safety cable.

Operate the elektraLite Stingray only when you are familiar with the features of the fixture. Do not permit operation by

persons not qualified.

All modifications to the elektraLite Stingray will invalidate the warranty. There are absolutely no exceptions.

If elektraLite Stingray is operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, elektraLite Stingray maybe

damaged and the guarantee will be void.

4. Installation

Please ensure that the elektraLite Stingray is hung using the appropriate "C" clamp or half cheeseboro. A safety chain or

cable should also be used as a secondary point of holding the fixture in case the clamp comes loose. Never hang the fixture

without a safety chain or cable. There is an eye-bolt on the back of the fixture to which the safety chain or cable can threaded

through and then hung from the secondary point. Make sure the Gel frame (Gel holder) is clipped into position correctly and

cannot come loose.

If you are not qualified or have any doubts about hanging the elektraLite Stingray then do NOT hang it.

Do not clamp the safety cable to the U bracket or clamp. That is not a secondary safety point.

A secondary safety point is any point that will adequately hold the elektraLite Stingray if the "C" clamp or half cheesboro fails.

Then the safety cable would be the backup and stop the fixture from falling to the ground. So do NOT fix the safety cable to

the same place that the "C"clamp is attached.

Installation during construction.

Many times fixtures are installed during the construction phase of a building. It is imperative that the fixture is protected during

this phase. A lot of dust is usually created. This dust can adversely affect the fixture. Specifically, of course, in coating the

lenses and therefore reducing the output. However much more seriously, dust, like sheetrock dust, can get inside the fan

bearings especially if the fixture is being operated during construction. Sheetrock dust, mixed with the grease of the fan motor,

will result in the fan’s premature failure and that is not covered under the fixture’s warranty. It is therefore strongly advised to

keep the fixtures covered up during the construction phase and not used.

5. Grounding. (VERY IMPORTANT!!!)

Always make sure that there is sufficient grounding (earth) for the fixture. This is not only imperative within the circuit that the

fixture is being connected to, but also make sure there is sufficient grounding into the building. All fixtures regardless of

manufacturer have a surge at initial “turn-on”. Once initial “turn-on” is complete, the surge current (per fixture) will travel down

the ground. While each 20 Amp circuit may have the correct size of ground wire, the ground input to the building and/or

electrical panel may not be sufficient for the job. Please review this with the electrical contractor. The elektraLite Stingray

has a surge current over and above its operating current of approximately 4 Amp at 120 volts. If an installation has 100

elektraLite Stingray that means 400 Amps needs to be dissipated through the GROUND WIRING. If there is a lack of a

sufficiently big enough ground cable into the building or on the individual circuits, it can cause severe damage to the fixture

and this is not covered under the warranty.

One further check : the ground to neutral voltage for each circuit. In a lot of buildings, voltages across these can damage

fixtures or cause operational problems both for the fixture and DMX.

Please review these two important points with a qualified electrical contractor. If in any doubt, have an independent qualified

third party electrical contractor check the installation, well before commencing installation.

Circuit Limitation :-

There should be no more than 4 elektraLite Stingray on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit, having no other load on it. That means to

say a, maximum of 4 elektraLite Stingray are on a 20 amp 120 volt circuit with nothing else plugged into that circuit

6. DMX-512 Control Connection

Connect an XLR cable to the female 5-pin XLR output of the DMX controller. The other end should be connected to the male

5-pin XLR input of the elektraLite Stingray. Then daisy-chain out of the first elektraLite Stingray into the next elektraLite

Stingray or other dmx device. Never “Y” split the DMX connection.

If more cable is needed, then it should be two core, screened cable fitted with a 5 pin XLR input and output connector. Please

refer to the diagram below.

6. DMX-512 Control Connection (cont).

DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator

For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically “noisy” environment, it is

recommended that a DMX terminator is used. This helps prevent corruption of the digital control signal. The DMX terminator

is simply a 5 pin XLR plug (male) with a 120 Ωresistor connected between pins 2 and 3. It is then plugged into the output XLR

socket of the last elektraLite Stingray or other dmx device in the chain. Please see illustration below.

7. Menus in the fixture.

There are just three menu screens with the elektraLite Stingray.

These are the modes of operation for the fixture.

DMX (1ch).

Dimmer

Run Mode

RootMenu value

DMX (CH1) 000-512

Dimmer 000-255

Run Mode 1CH -2CH

A). DMX (1ch)

This sets up the start address number for the fixture.

Use the ↑or ↓buttons to get to the correct start address.

It will be a value of 001 to 512.

B). Dimmer. (A static look)

The elektraLite Stingray can be set to a single static look quickly.

It requires no dmx input signal.

Use the Menu button to get to Dimmer.

Use the ↑or ↓to increase the output from 000 – 255.

Once the desired output is reached Press Enter to save the output value.

C). Run Mode.

The elektraLite Stingray can be run in either a 1 channel (1ch) or 2 channel (2ch) mode.

Use the ↑or ↓buttons to choose which Run mode is best suited.

In 1ch mode the one channel is a dimmer channel only.

In 2ch mode the function of DMX values are as follows:-

channel Function Value

CH1 dimmer 000-255

CH2 No function 000-015

Shortest dimmer curve 016

Longest dimmer curve 255

8. High Speed Cameras.

When high speed cameras are being used, the 2ch mode of operation should be used.

9. Description of Parts.

Gobo slot will take a standard gobo holder using a B size gobo.

There are 4 independently moveable shutter blades.

Undoing the two barrel locks will allow the barrel to be rotated or removed and shutters cleaned.

Always make sure the gel frame clip is down and locked if the gel frame is in place.

Undoing the two lens locks will allow the lens tube to be moved up or down.

Removing the two lens locks will allow the lens tube to be removed.

The elektralite Stingray comes with a 19degree lens tube. However other lens

tubes are available : 5, 10, 26, 36and 50.

10. Cleaning and maintenance.

Now ignoring maintenance and cleaning is very good way of creating problems "down the road" and many companies and

installations do just that. However the net result is, no matter what the fixture, premature failure!

Changing the oil in a car, most people do on a regular basis.

So with the fixtures, regular maintenance it an excellent practice, if you want the fixtures to last.

So what is the maintenance for the fixture?

Clean the fans!

Turn off the elektraLite Stingray.

Using a small vacuum cleaner, suck the dust and “fur balls” out.

Do not use a can of co². That will just blast the dust and dirt everywhere!

The fans keep the LED cool and keep the electronics cool too.

Without the fan working efficiently and dust free, the fixtures will fail and that will be a lot more costly than having someone

vacuum the fixtures on a regular basis.

How often should the fans be cleaned? It depends on where the fixtures are; in a very dusty atmosphere once a week. So

check the fans on a regular basis, they may not need cleaned every week but a quick “visual inspection” should be done.

The front lens should be cleaned so the light output is maintained.

The shutter blades sometimes require cleaning as well.

With the elektraLite Stingray turned off, use only a moist lint-free cloth. Never use alcohol or solvents to clean the fixture.

Never spray anything onto the fixture at the front or in any place on the fixture.
