WARNING! Before carrying out any operations with the unit, carefully read this instruction

manual and keep it with cure for future reference. It contains important information about

the installation, usage and maintenance of the unit.

SAFETY

General instruction

• The products referred to in this manual conform to the European Community Directives and are there-

fore marked with .

• The unit is supplied with hazardous network voltage (230V~). Leave servicing to skilled personnel only.

Never make any modications on the unit not described in this instruction manual, otherwise you will

risk an electric shock.

• Connection must be made to a power supply system tted with ecient earthing (Class I appliance ac-

cording to standard EN 60598-1). It is, moreover, recommended to protect the supply lines of the units

from indirect contact and/or shorting to earth by using appropriately sized residual current devices.

• The connection to the main network of electric distribution must be carried out by a qualied electrical

installer. Check that the main frequency and voltage correspond to those for which the unit is designed

as given on the electrical data label.

• This unit is not for home use, only professional applications.

• Never use the xture under the following conditions:

- in places subject to vibrations or bumps;

- in places with an ambient temperature of over 50°C.

• Make certain that no inammable liquids, water or metal objects enter the xture.

• Do not dismantle or modify the xture.

• All work must always be carried out by qualied technical personnel. Contact the nearest sales point for

an inspection or contact the manufacturer directly.

• If the unit is to be put out of operation denitively, take it to a local recycling

plant for a disposal which is not harmful to the environment.

Warnings and installation precautions

• If this device will be operated in any way dierent to the one described in this manual, it may suer

damage and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like

short circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.

• Before starting any maintenance work or cleaning the projector, cut o power from the main supply.

• When carrying out any work, always comply scrupulously with all the regulations (particularly regard-

ing safety) currently in force in the country in which the xture’s being used.

• The minimum distance between the xture and surrounding walls must be more than 50 cm and the

air vents at the housing must not be covered in any case.

• Keep any inammable material at a safe distance from the xture.

• The maximum temperature that can be reached on the external surface of the tting, in a thermally

steady state, is high. After power o, please cool down over 15 minutes.

• Shields, lenses or ultraviolet screens shall be changed if they have become damaged to such an extent

that their eectiveness is impaired.

• The lamp (LED) shall be changed if it has become damaged or thermally deformed.

• Never look directly at the light beam. Please note that fast changes in lighting, e. g. ashing light, may

trigger epileptic seizures in photosensitive persons or persons with epilepsy.

• This product was designed and built strictly for the use indicated in this documentation. Any other use,

not expressly indicated here, could compromise the good condition/operation of the product and/or

be a source of danger.

• We decline any liability deriving from improper use of the product.

ARCPOD48Q

3.18 CONNECTION OF THE DMX LINE

DMX connection employs standard XLR connectors. Use shielded pair-twisted cables with 120Ω imped-

ance and low capacity.

The following diagram shows the connection mode:

ATTENTION

The screened parts of the cable (sleeve) must never be connected to the system’s earth, as this would

cause faulty xture and controller operation.

Over long runs can be necessary to insert a DMX level matching amplier.

For those connections the use of balanced microphone cable is not recommended because it cannot

transmit control DMX data reliably.

• Connect the controller DMX input to the DMX output of the rst unit.

• Connect the DMX output to the DMX input of the following unit. Connect again the output to the input

of the following unit until all the units are connected in chain.

• When the signal cable has to run longer distance is recommended to insert a DMX termination on the

last unit.

3.19 CONSTRUCTION OF THE DMX TERMINATION

The termination avoids the risk of DMX 512 signals being reected back along the cable when they reach-

es the end of the line: under certain conditions and with certain cable lengths, this could cause them to

cancel the original signals.

The termination is prepared by soldering a 120Ω 1/4 W resistor between pins 2 and 3 of the 5-pin male XLR

connector, as shown in gure.

- 4 - MAINTENANCE

4.1 MAINTENANCE AND CLEANING THE UNIT

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during setup.

• Switch o the unit, unplug the main cable and wait until the unit has cooled down.

• All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and should not

be corroded.

• Housings, xations and installation spots (ceiling, trusses, suspensions) should be totally free from any

deformation.

• When the lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.

• The main cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately even when a

small problem is detected.

• In order to protect the device from overheating the cooling fans (if any), and ventilation openings

should be cleaned monthly.

To ensure optimal operation and performance for a long time it is essential to periodically clean the parts

subject to dust and grease deposits. The frequency with which the following operations are to be carried

out depends on various factors, such as the amount of the eects and the quality of the working environ-

ment (air humidity, presence of dust, salinity, etc.). Use a soft cloth dampened with any detergent liquid

for cleaning glass to remove the dirt from the reectors, from the lenses and lters.

It is recommended that the projector undergoes an annual service by a qualied technician for special

maintenance involving at least the following operations:

- General cleaning of internal parts..

- Restoring lubrication of all parts subject to friction, using lubricants specically.

- General visual check of the internal components, cabling, mechanical parts, etc.

- Electrical, photometric and functional checks; eventual repairs.

Warning: we strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualied personnel!
