C).Setup Button D). Up Button E). Down Button Fig.08 DMX Control Mode The fixtures are individually addressed on a data-link and connected to the controller. The fixtures respond to the DMX signal from the controller. (When you select the DMX address and save it, the controller will display the saved DMX address, next time.) DMX Addressing The control panel on the back side of the device allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the first channel from which the EventLITE will respond to the controller. Please note when you use the controller, the unit has up to 11 channels. When using multiple EventLITEs, make sure you set the DMX addresses right. Therefore, the DMX address of the first EventLITE should be 1(d001); the DMX address of the second EventLITE should be 1+11=12 (d012); the DMX address of the third EventLITE should be 12+11=23 (d023), etc. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each EventLITE correctly. If two or more EventLITEs are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. Controlling: After having addressed all EventLITEs, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller. Note: After switching on, the EventLITE will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “point“ behind the first digit will dim. The problem may be: • The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the EventLITE. • The controller is switched off or defective, the cable or connector is detective, or the signal wires are swapped in the input connector. Note: It’s necessary to insert a XLR termination plug (with 120 Ohm) in the last fixture in order to ensure proper transmission on the DMX data link. Lock mode after 30 seconds Display board will blackout and show if there is no operation within 30s. Press and hold down the Mode and DOWN button simultaneously for 3s at least to unlock the display board.

The operator has to make sure that safety-related and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by a skilled person once a year. The following points have to be considered during the inspection: 01) All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded. 02) There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots. 03) Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing. 04) The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue. The EventLITE 7/4 requires almost no maintenance. However, you should keep the unit clean. Otherwise, the fixture’s light-output will be significantly reduced. Disconnect the mains power supply, and then wipe the cover with a damp cloth. Do not immerse in liquid. Wipe lens clean with glass cleaner and a soft cloth. Do not use alcohol or solvents. The front lens will require weekly cleaning, as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light- output very quickly. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the DMX and audio connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power. Replacing the Fuse Power surges, short-circuit or inappropriate electrical power supply may cause a fuse to burn out. If the fuse burns out, the product will not function whatsoever. If this happens, follow the directions below: 01) Unplug the unit from electric power source. 02) Insert a flat-headed screwdriver into a slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. The fuse will come out. 03) Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out. 04) Insert the replacement fuse into the holder. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

If a problem occurs, follow the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out the following steps. If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician. Response: Suspect two potential problem areas: the battery, the LEDs, the fuse. 01) Battery. Check if the battery is fully charged. 02) The LEDs. Return the EventLITE 7/4 to your Showtec dealer. 03) The fuse. Replace the fuse. See page 25 for replacing the fuse. 04) If all of the above appears to be in order, switch the unit on again. 05) If you are unable to determine the cause of the problem, do not open the EventLITE 7/4, as this may damage the unit and the warranty will become void. 06) Return the device to your Showtec dealer. No Response to DMX Response: Suspect the DMX cable or connectors, a controller malfunction, a light effect DMX card malfunction. 01) Check the DMX setting. Make sure that DMX addresses are correct. 02) Check the DMX cable: Unplug the unit; change the DMX cable; then reconnect to electrical power. Try your DMX control again. 03) Determine whether the controller or light effect is to blame. Does the controller operate properly with other DMX products? If not, take the controller in for repair. If it does, take the DMX cable and the light effect to a qualified technician.

fixtures do not function at all No power to the fixture • Check that power is switched on and the battery is charged Primary fuse blown • Replace the fuse . Fixtures reset correctly, but all respond erratically or not at all to the controller The controller is not connected. • Connect controller. 3-pin XLR Out of the controller does not match XLR Out of the first fixture on the link (i.e. signal is reversed) • Install a phase reversing cable between the controller and the first fixture on the link Fixtures reset correctly, but some respond erratically or not at all to the controller Poor data quality • Check data quality. If much lower than 100 percent, the problem may be a bad data link connection, poor quality or broken cables, missing termination plug, or a defective fixture disturbing the link Bad data link connection • Inspect connections and cables. Correct poor connections. Repair or replace damaged cables Data link not terminated with 120 Ohm termination plug • Insert termination plug in output jack of the last fixture on the link Incorrect addressing of the fixtures • Check address setting One of the fixtures is defective and disturbs data transmission on the link • Bypass one fixture at a time until normal operation is restored: unplug both connectors and connect them directly together. • Have the defective fixture serviced by a qualified technician 3-pin XLR Out on the fixtures does not match (pins 2 and 3 reversed) • Install a phase-reversing cable between the fixtures or swap pin 2 and 3 in the fixture that behaves erratically No light or LEDs cuts out intermittently Fixture is too hot • Allow the fixture to cool down • Clean the fan • Make sure air vents in control panel and the front lens are not blocked • Turn up the air conditioning LEDs damaged • Disconnect the fixture and return it to your dealer The power supply settings do not match local AC voltage and frequency • Disconnect fixture.
