Installation

Installation:

Before installing the xture, the supporting structure (ie. truss) must be able to hold a minimum of 10

times the xtures weight without any deformation (eg. 15kg - 150kg point load). The xture must be

secured with a secondary safety attachment when being installed (ie. an appropriate safety cable).

Never stand directly below the xture when mounting, removing, and/or servicing.

Overhead installation requires experience and qualications to calculate working load limits, the

material being used at the installation area and periodic safety inspections of the xture and

installation material. If you do not have the relevant experience and/or qualications please do not

attempt the installation yourself. The installation should be checked annually by a qualied person.

The Equinox Twin Shot can

be operated in a number of

mounting positions as shown

in the diagram to the right,

mounting sideways on truss

or stood upright on a at level

surface.

DO NOT hang the Twin Shot

upside-down from the ceiling or

truss. Always use a safety wire

as an extra safety precaution to

prevent damage/injury in the

event a clamp fails.

Never use the carry handles for

secondary attachments.

Do not orientate the output

nozzle directly in the direction

of the audience’s eyes. In order

to create the best effect, there

should be a distance between

the unit and the audience of at

least 5m.

This unit is constructed for a free standing or hanging installation. If the unit is to be installed overhead,

please follow the safety instructions below:

Rigging installation:

The installation has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight

of the unit(s) to be installed for 1 hour without any deformation.

The unit must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net

or safety wire. The secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the

installed unit can fall down if the main attachment fails.

When rigging, derigging or servicing, do not allow personnel to be directly underneath the unit.

The operator must always make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are

approved by an expert before operation for the rst time and after any further changes are made.

The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations

are approved by a qualied person once a year.

Operating instructions

DMX mode:

To access the DMX address, press the “FUNCTION” button until

“DMX 512 ADD” is shown on the LCD display. Now use the “UP”

and “DOWN” buttons to set the required DMX address.

Channels 1 and 2 are used to re outputs 1 and 2, the Master (Channel 3)

must be active for these to re. If outputs 1 and 2 are to be red simultaneously

activate channels 1 and 2 and then use the master to re.

Timer Mode

To set the timer interval, press the “FUNCTION” button unit “Interval Set” is shown on the LCD display.

Now use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to adjust the interval between “1-200”.

To activate the timer mode, press the “TIMER” button, the LCD display will show “Press again to conrm”.

Press the “TIMER” button again to activate this mode. If you do not press again to conrm after 5 seconds

the unit will return to the home screen. Once in the Timer Mode if the “TIMER” button is pressed

this will stop the timer and exit out of this mode.

Manual Mode (via the unit)

To set the channel the manual mode activates, press the “FUNCTION” button unit “WORK CH.”

is shown on the LCD display. Now use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select between “CH.1”,

“CH.2” or “ALL”.

To activate the manual mode, press the “FIRE” button, the LCD display will show “Press again

to conrm”. Press the “FIRE” button again, this will re the pods selected, “CH.1”, “CH.2” or “ALL”.

If you do not press again to conrm after 5 seconds the unit will return to the home screen.

To check which pods are activated in manual mode press and hold the “INFO” button.

Wireless Remote

To activate the wireless mode, press the “FUNCTION” button unit “Wireless” is shown on the

LCD display. Now use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select between “ON” or “OFF”.

To pair the wireless remote with the xture ensure the Wireless setting is set to “ON”,

power off the xture and then power it back on. The LCD display will show “Wireless

Setup”, whilst this is shown press one of the buttons on the wireless remote.

The display on the xture will ash to conrm this has been paired.

Ensure the handheld remote is tted with a good quality battery (A23 12V Alkaline).

Step 2: Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.

Step 3: Install the new fuse in the fuse holder.

(Replacement fuses should be of the same value as originally supplied)

Step 4: Replace the fuse holder in the housing.

Should you need any spare parts, only use genuine parts.

If defective, please dispose of the unusable unit in accordance with the current legal regulations.

Should you have any further questions, please contact your dealer.

Setting the DMX address:

The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each xture requires a “start address”

from 1- 512. A xture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel

indicated by the start address. For example, a xture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was

addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101, 102, 103, 104,

105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in

the chain starts at 107.

DMX 512:

DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent

xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the xture.

DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT”

XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).

DMX linking:

DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together

and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.

To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shortest

cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the

DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in

a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a xture is assigned a

DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit,

no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.

DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):

This xture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit.

Your unit requires either a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output,

see images below.

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

DMX setup

Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight Concepts dealers.

Notice:

Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables.

Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or

allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs

outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit

and erratic behaviour.

Line termination:

When longer runs of cable are used,

you may need to use a terminator on

the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour.

Using a cable terminator will decrease

the possibilities of erratic behaviour.

(3-pin - Order ref: CABL90,

5-pin - Order ref: CABL89)

5-pin XLR DMX connectors:

Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR xtures

may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a

3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.
