User manual JBSYSTEMS LED WASH V 1.4

[. . . ] Always unplug the unit when it is not used for a longer time or during servicing. The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only, according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country. Check that the available voltage is not higher than the one stated on the rear panel of the unit. The power cord should always be in perfect condition: switch the unit immediately off when the power cord is squashed or damaged. [. . . ] 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. 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. Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave: Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables (like for example JB Systems ref. 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 (ex. To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90 to 40 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 2 ways to set the DMX-address of the units A. Setting individual DMX-addresses per projector: Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected. 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 (7) 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 (7) 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. ) you can set the DMX addresses of all units in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need to calculate the starting address of each individual unit, this will be done for you!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 (7) on the first projector in the chain for about 5seconds. The first projector in the chain will receive the DMX-start address you chose and it will automatically calculate and program the DMX addresses of all the other units in the DMX-chain!An example to make things clear: We want to set the DMX-addresses of 16 units, the DMX start address of the first projector must be 202: Connect all projectors to the DMX-controller as described above and make sure all are switched on. [. . . ] Refer to the chapter "Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode" to learn how to do this (don't forget to address all units properly!Since each unit has its own DMX-address, you can control them individually. Remember that each unit uses 4 DMX-channels as shown in the DMX chart below: Fixed to wall or ceiling Standalone 1unit: Just connect the unit to the mains and put on some music. Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control. [. . . ]
