Installation

Remove all packing materials from the Easy 16. Check if all foam and plastic padding is removed.

Connect all cables.

Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.

Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Set Up and Operation

Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.

Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification

voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

Connect the device to the main power supply. The device can be sound-controlled as it is equipped

with a built-in microphone.

Fixture Linking

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to

run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined

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

data link can support.

Important:

Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the

EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.

Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically

isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters

Maximum recommended number of fixtures on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures

Data Cabling

To link fixtures together, you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables

directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable

please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic

interference.

Maintenance

The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be

inspected by an expert after every year in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be

inspected by a skilled person once a year.

The following points have to be considered during the inspection:

01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and

must not be corroded.

02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.

03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.

04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.

The Showtec Easy 16 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean.

Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in

liquid. Do not use alcohol or solvents.

Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections

with a damp cloth. Make sure that the connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or

supplying electric power.

Troubleshooting

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.

If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit

operates properly, do not carry out following steps.

No Light

If the Easy 16 does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.

Suspect two potential problem areas: the power supply, the LEDs.

01) Power supply. Check if the unit is plugged into an appropriate power supply.

02) The LEDs. Return the Easy 16 to your Showtec dealer.

03) A LED effect does not respond to the Easy 16: Check the DMX-address of the fixture and the

controller. Make sure that they match. Make sure that the connections are correct.

04) Check if blackout is inactive.

05) If all of the above appears to be O.K., plug the unit in again.

06) If nothing happens after 30 seconds, unplug the device.

07) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the Easy 16, as this may

damage the unit and the warranty will become void.

08) Return the device to your Showtec dealer.

No Response to DMX

Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card

malfunction.

01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct.

02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power.

Try your DMX control again.

03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is at fault. Does the controller operate properly with

other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If so, take the DMX cable and the light

effect to a qualified technician.
