User manual JBSYSTEMS LED QUADRA BEAM V 1.0

[. . . ] Condense sometimes prevents the unit from working at full performance or may even cause damages. If a foreign object enters the unit, immediately disconnect the mains power. Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, away from any flammable materials and/or liquids. Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating. [. . . ] It is absolutely necessary for the user to strictly follow the safety instructions and warnings in this user manual. The dealer will not accept responsibility for any resulting defects or problems caused by disregarding this user manual. Check the contents: Check that the carton contains the following items: Operating instructions LED QUADRA BEAM unit Mains cable CAUTION: To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not remove the top cover. The lightning flash with arrowhead symbol within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the use or the presence of un-insulated "dangerous voltage" within the product's enclosure that may be of sufficient magnitude to constitute a risk of electric shock. The exclamation point within the equilateral triangle is intended to alert the user to the presence of important operation and maintenance (servicing) instructions in the literature accompanying this appliance. Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country. Electrical installation in DMX-mode: The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light equipment. You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected units with a good quality balanced cable. Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more popular because these cables are compatible with balanced audio cables. Mains output with IEC socket: you can use a special IEC power cable to connect this output with the mains input of the next LED QUADRA BEAM for easier linking. This input receives instructions from a DMX-controller or from another LED QUADRA BEAM in master/slave mode. DMX output: 3pin female XLR-connector used to connect the LED QUADRA BEAM with the next unit in the DMX chain or with another LED QUADRA BEAM when used in master/slave mode. Hanging bracket with 2 knobs on both sides to fasten the unit and a mounting hole to fix a mounting hook. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90 to 120 terminator at the end of the chain. Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows which commands from the controller it has to decode. How to set the DIP-switches to obtain the right starting address: Refer to the next chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user manual which start addresses you have to set because this completely depends on the controller you will use. So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find out which starting addresses you must set. Example settings for different channel configurations: 1 Channel mode: 001 (unit1), 002 (unit2), 003 (unit3), . intervals of 1 channel 6 Channel mode: 001 (unit1) , 007 (unit2) , 013 (unit3) , . Intervals of 6 channels Each of the first 9 DIP-switches correspond to a certain DMX-value, DIP-switch 10 is used to switch between 1CH mode and 6CH mode: DIP #1 #2 #3 #4 #5 #6 #7 #8 #9 #10 ON = 1CH mode Value 1 2 4 8 16 32 64 128 256 OFF = 6CH mode You can combine the values of these switches to become any starting address between 1 and 512: Begin address = 01 switch 1=ON values: 1 Begin address = 05 switch 1+3=ON values: 1+4 = 5 Begin address = 09 switch 1+4=ON values: 1+8 = 9 Begin address = 13 switch 1+3+4=ON values: 1+4+8 = 13 . Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. [. . . ] During inspection the following points should be checked: All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be corroded. Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any deformation. When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced. The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected. [. . . ]
