WARNING

Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure

that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and

retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself

shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be

returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Your shipment includes:

• LED Sphere with cable 1m and hanging-bracket.

•User manual

LED Expected Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration

of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular

optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is

significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours will be achieved

under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place

care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the

reduction of overall projection intensity.

Installation

Remove all packing materials from the LED Sphere Direct Control 100. Check that all foam and plastic

padding is removed. Connect all cables.

Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure

proper transmission on the DMX data link.

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

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.

Remove all packing materials from the LED Sphere. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed.

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.

The LED Sphere uses a maximum of 6 channels.

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 LED Spheres 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.

DAP Audio Certified DMX Data Cables

• DAP Audio Basic microphone cable for allround use. bal. XLR/M 3 p. > XLR/F 3 p.

Ordercode FL01150 (1,5m.), FL013 (3m.), FL016 (6m.), FL0110 (10m.), FL0115 (15m.), FL0120 (20m.).

• DAP Audio cable for the demanding user with exceptional audio-qualities and connector made by

Neutrik®. Ordercode FL71150 (1,5m.), FL713 (3m.), FL716 (6m.), FL7110 (10m.).

Control Panel

When the indicator light is on, means the LED Sphere is working.

Control Mode

The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller.

The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it,

the controller will display the saved DMX address the next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the

first channel from which the LED Sphere will respond to the controller.

Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 6channels.

When using multiple LED Spheres, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.

Therefore, the DMX address of the first LED Sphere should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second LED

Sphere should be 1+6=7 (A007); the DMX address of the third LED Sphere should be 7+6=13 (A013), etc.

Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each LED Sphere

correctly.

If two or more LED Spheres are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’ (menu )

Controlling:

After having addressed all LED Sphere fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting

controller.

Note: After switching on, the LED Sphere will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or

not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.

The problem may be:

- The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the LED Sphere.

- The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are

swapped in the input connector.

Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure

proper transmission on the DMX data link.
