1. INTRODUCTION

PRODUCT OVERVIEW

The Solaris LED SoLED W840 white LED strobe offers the same look and feel as xenon strobes at a fraction of

the power consumption. Using high-intensity Cree® LEDs, the SoLED provides ultra-bright whites with 92,000

lumen peak output. Compact and lightweight, the SoLED is very portable and hides well in any application.

 Ultra-bright – 840 Watts of brilliant white output, 92,000lm peak output

 Compact and lightweight – Fits almost anywhere

 Easy to use – Same control modes and personalities as other popular strobes

 DMX512 with RDM – Easy to control plus continual operational feedback

 LED design – Longer life than xenon lamps for reliability and long-term cost savings

 Built-in yoke – Application and mounting flexibility

 Fan-free – Quiet operation, perfect for theatre, film, and TV use

WHAT IS INCLUDED

 1x Solaris LED W840 fixture

 1x Power cable

 1x User Manual

UNPACKING INSTRUCTIONS

Upon receipt of the fixture, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are

present and in good condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any

parts appear to be damaged from shipping or if 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.

POWER REQUIREMENTS

Before powering the unit, make sure the line voltage is within the range of accepted voltages. This fixture

accommodates 100-240VAC, 50/60Hz. All fixtures must be powered directly from a switched circuit and cannot

be operated with a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used

solely as a 0-100% switch.

When powered up, SoLED performs a preprogrammed internal test. On initial power-up the factory default DMX

address appears on the display screen and SoLED is ready for operation. After initial power-up, the last-saved

DMX address will appear.

FREQUENCY SETTING

Depending on location, change the Default Frequency setting to match the mains power (e.g., US and Canada

should be set at 60Hz). Proper frequency setting will ensure minimum amount of visible artifacts when using

Solaris LED on camera.

SoLED W840 User Manual Version 4.1 051915 PRELIMILARY 4

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

 Please keep this Operation Manual for future reference. If unit is sold to another user, make sure they also

receive this instruction booklet.

 Ensure fixture is connected to proper voltage, and that line voltage is not higher than that stated on the

fixture.

 Make sure there are no flammable materials close to the unit while operating.

 Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or fuse replacement. Always use the fuse

specified in this manual.

 Always use a safety cable when hanging fixture overhead.

 Maximum ambient temperature (Ta) is 40°C (104°F). Do not operate fixture at temperatures above this

rating.

 In the event of a serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Repairs must be carried out by

trained, authorized personnel. Contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center. Only OEM spare

parts should be used.

 Do not connect the device to a dimmer pack.

 Make sure power cord is never crimped or damaged.

 Never disconnect power cord by pulling or tugging on the cord.

 Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source during operation.

Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt any

repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service, please contact your distributor.

2. SETUP

FUSE REPLACEMENT

SoLED uses a 12A 250V slow-blow fuse. To replace fuse:

1. With a screwdriver turn the fuse cap counter-clockwise to remove fuse cap with fuse.

2. Replace fuse attached to fuse cap.

3. Reinsert fuse cap with new fuse and tighten clockwise.

Please read these instructions carefully. This user guide

contains important information about the installation, usage and

maintenance of this fixture.

Disconnect the power cord before replacing the

fuse. Always replace with the correct fuse type.

SoLED W840 User Manual Version 4.1 051915 PRELIMILARY 5

FIXTURE LINKING

A DMX data link is needed to operate one or more fixtures with a DMX-512 lighting console. The combined

number of channels required by all of the fixtures on the DMX data link will determine the number of fixtures the

DMX data link can support. Maximum recommended DMX data link distance between fixtures: 984 ft. (300

meters).

Important: Fixtures on a DMX data link must be daisy-chained in one single line. To comply with the

EIA-485 standard, no more than 32 devices should be connected on one data link. Connecting more

than 32 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in

deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

DMX DATA CABLE

Use a ProPlex® DMX cable or equivalent which meets the specifications for EIA RS-485 applications. Standard

microphone cables cannot transmit DMX data reliably over long distances. The data cable must have the

following characteristics:

 2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield

 Max. capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.

 Max. capacitance between conductor and shield – 55 pF/ft.

 Max. resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.

 Nominal impedance 100-140 ohms

CABLE / CONNECTORS

Cabling must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other end.

DMX connector configuration

CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the fixture’s chassis ground. Grounding the

common can cause a ground loop, and your fixture 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.

SoLED W840 User Manual Version 4.1 051915 PRELIMILARY 6

3-PIN TO 5-PIN CONVERSION CHART

If using a console with a 3-pin DMX output connector, a 3-pin to 5-pin adapter is needed. The chart below details

a proper cable conversion:

SETTING UP A DMX SERIAL DATA LINK

1. Connect the (male) 5-pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 5-pin connector of the DMX

console.

2. Connect the opposite end of the cable (female) to the input connector of the fixture consisting of a (male) 5-pin

connector.

3. Proceed to connect from the fixture output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.

4. Continue linking until the last fixture is connected in your DMX chain.

FIXTURE MOUNTING / RIGGING

Orientation

Solaris LED fixtures may be mounted in any position. Always make sure there is adequate room for ventilation.

Do not obstruct the unit’s vents.

Support Stand

Always use a professional stand rated to support weight greater than the SoLED weight (4.77 lb. / 2.15

kg). Attach a TVMP spigot to the yoke of the SoLED and mount on the stand.

Rigging – Always consult a qualified rigging specialist before suspending any fixture

overhead.

Use ProBurger® couplers or equivalent C- or O-type clamps for attaching to truss. Do not

obstruct vents. Adjust the fixture angle by loosening both knobs and tilting the fixture as

needed. After establishing the desired position, retighten both knobs.

 Always use safety cables!

 When selecting installation location, consider routine maintenance.

 Never mount fixture where it will be exposed to moisture, high humidity, extreme

temperatures, or restricted ventilation.
