User manual JBSYSTEMS LED PAR 56 V 1.2

[. . . ] many applications possible: Discotheques , DJs , exhibition booths , homes , . Different working modes: Completely standalone: automatic or beat synchronized color changes (optional CA-8 controller possible) Master/slave mode: up to 16 units can be used together for wonderful preprogrammed, music synchronized lightshows. (optional CA-8 controller possible) DMX-controlled (4channels: R , G , B + Dimmer/strobe/sound chase) by any standard DMX-controller. Used with LEDCON 01 remote control Different ways to set DMX start address: Very easy DMX addressing of individual units using any standard DMX-controller Extremely fast DMX addressing of several units at once (automatic address calculation) Traditional DMX-setting by DIP-switches Can be fixed to any surface, can also be fixed in ALU-truss using a standard clamp. [. . . ] Check the contents: Check that the carton contains the following items: Operating instructions LED Projector (PAR56 or PAR64) Hanging bracket 2 Knobs to fasten the hanging bracket Filter frame Hanging bracket with knobs on both sides to fasten the unit and a mounting hole to fix a mounting hook. Signal present LED: DMX-signal detected: LED blinks regularly, ready to receive instructions from a controller. DMX-signal not detected: LED blinks to the rhythm of the music, detected by the internal micro. Mains fuse: Always replace this fuse with a fuse that has the same characteristics!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 for 1 standalone unit: Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control. refer to section "C" of the operation instructions to learn how to do this. Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave: Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables. The unit that has no cable connected to its DMX-input will react as "master", the others are the slave units. Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control over the master/slave operation. You can also connect the LEDCON 01 remote controller, in this case all units will respond equally (all units have the same color) Electrical installation for two or more units 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. 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 DMX addresses: There are 3 ways to set the DMX-address of the units. If you use setting options A or B you MUST set ALL DIP-switches to OFF position!Setting individual DMX-addresses per projector: Make sure that ALL DIP-switches are set to OFF position!Set the DMX-channel, that you want to assign as DMX-start address on you projector, tot maximum (value 255) Press the "Auto DMX address" button (6) on the projector shortly. If you want to set another projector to the same DMX-start address, simply press it's "Auto DMX address" button (6) and it will receive the same address. An example to make things clear: We will set the DMX start address of a projector to 106: Connect the projector to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all is switched on. Automatic DMX-addressing, starting from any given start address: To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP switches of 16 units. [. . . ] Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails. The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.
