Warning! Read “Safety Information” before installing, powering, operating or servicing the fixture.
Before applying power to the fixture:

Check that the local AC mains power source is within the fixture’s power voltage and frequency ranges.
See “Power cables and power plug” on page 6. Install a PowerCON TRUE 1 ® power input connector power cable.

AC Power

Warning! Read “Safety Information” starting on before connecting the fixtures to AC mains power.
Warning! For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be grounded (earthed). The power distribution circuit must be equipped with a fuse or circuit breaker and ground-fault (earth-fault) protection.
Warning! Socket outlets or external power switches used to supply the fixture with power must be located near the fixture and easily accessible so that the fixtures can easily be disconnected from power.
Important! Do not insert or remove PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors to apply or cut power, as this may cause
arcing at the terminals that will damage the connectors.
Important! Do not use an external dimming system to supply power to the fixture, as this may cause damage to the fixture that is not covered by the product warranty.
The fixture can be hard-wired to a electrical installation if you want to install it permanently, or a power plug that is suitable for the local power outlets can be installed on the power cable.

Power voltage

Warning! Check that the voltage range specified on the fixtures serial number label matches the local AC mains power voltage before applying power to the fixture.
The fixtures accepts AC mains power at 100-240 V nominal, 50/60 Hz. Do not apply AC mains power to the fixture at any other voltage than specified.

Power cables
Power input and throughput cables must be rated 16A minimum, have three conductors 1.5 mm² (16 AWG) minimum conductor size and an outer cable diameter of 5 – 15 mm. Cables must be hard usage type (SJT or equivalent) and heat- resistant to 90°C minimum. In the EU the cable must be HAR approved or equivalent.

If you install a power plug on the power cable, install a grounding-type (earthed) plug that is rated 16A minimum. Follow the plug manufacturer’s instructions. Table 1 shows standard wire color-coding schemes and some possible pin identification schemes; if pins are not clearly identified.

Table 1: Wire color-coding and power connections

Relaying power to other devices

Warning! Do not connect more than seven fixtures in total to AC mains power in one interconnected chain. Power can be relayed to another device via the PowerCON TRUE 1 ® throughput socket.

If you daisy chain the fixtures in a chain so that they all draw AC mains power via the first fixture, certain points must be respected:

• A heavy duty, three-conductor, 16 AWG or 1.5 mm2 cable with SJT or equivalent cable jacket must be used to connect the first fixture to AC mains power.
• PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors must be used to draw AC mains power from the fixtures power throughput sockets and yellow PowerCON TRUE 1 ® connectors must be used to supply power at the fixture’s power input sockets.
• No matter what the AC mains power voltage is, do not connect more than ten the fixture in total ( including the first fixture) to AC mains power in one interconnected daisy chain using power input and through out connectors.

Data link
A DMX 512 data link is required in order to control a fixture via DMX. The fixture has 5-pin XLR connectors for DMX data input and output. The pin-out on all connectors is pin 1 = shield, pin 2 = cold (-), and pin 3 = hot (+) Pins 4 and 5 in the 5-pin XLR connectors are not used.

Tips for reliable data transmission

To connect the fixture to data:

1. Connect the DMX data output from the controller to the 5-pin XLR connector of the nearest fixture.
2. Connect the DMX output of the fixture closest to the controller to the DMX input of the next fixture and continue connecting fixtures output to input.

Physical installation

Warning! The fixture must be either fastened to a flat surface such as a stage or wall, or clamped to a truss or similar structure in any orientation using a rigging clamp.
Warning! If the fixture can cause injury or damage if it falls, attach an approved safety cable to one of the safety cable attachment points on the base (see “Fixture overview”).
Check that all surfaces to be illuminated are minimum 200 mm. from the fixture, that combustible materials (wood, fabric, paper, etc.) are minimum 100 mm. from the fixture, that there is free airflow around the fixture and that there are no flammable materials nearby.

Fastening the fixture to a flat surface
The fixture can be fastened to a fixed flat surface that is oriented at any angle. Check that the surface can support at least 10 times the weight of all fixtures and equipment to be installed on it.

Warning! The supporting surface must be hard and flat or cooling may be blocked, which will cause overheating. Fasten the fixture securely. Do not stand it on a surface or leave it where it can be moved or can fall over. Attach a securely anchored safety cable to the safety cable attachment point (see “Fixture overview”) if the fixture is to be installed in any location where it may fall and cause injury or damage if the primary attachment fails.

1. Block access under the work area. Working from a stable platform, hang the fixture on the truss with the arrow on the base towards the area to be illuminated. Tighten the rigging clamp.
2. Secure the fixture against clamp failure with a secondary attachment such as an approved safety cable that is rated for the weight of the fixture using one of the attachment points at the edges of the base (see “Fixture overview”). Do not use any other part of the fixture as a safety cable attachment point.

The installation of the fixture has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times the weight for 1 hour without any harming deformation.

The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g. an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall down if the main
attachment fails.

When rigging, derigging or servicing the fixture staying in the area below the installation place, on bridges, under high working places and other endangered areas is forbidden.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert before taking into operation for the first time and after changes before taking into operation another time.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by an expert after every four year in the course of an acceptance test.
The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by a skilled person
once a year.

The fixture should be installed outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.

IMPORTANT! OVERHEAD RIGGING REQUIRES EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE, including (but not limited to) calculating working load limits, installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the projector. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself, but instead use a professional structural rigger. Improper installation can result in bodily injury or damage to property. The fixture has to be installed out of the
reach of people.

If the fixture shall be lowered from the ceiling or high joists, professional trussing systems have to be used. The fixture must never be fixed swinging freely in the room.

Caution: Fixture may cause severe injuries when crashing down! If you have doubts concerning the safety of a possible installation, do not install the moving head!
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the fixture’s weight.

When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material (decoration articles, etc.) in a distance of min. 0.5 m.
Use an appropriate clamp to rig the fixture on the truss.

Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

The fixture can be placed directly on the stage floor or rigged on a truss without altering its operation characteristics .
For securing the fixture to the truss, install a safety wire which can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture. Use only the safety wire with a snap hook with screw lock gate. Fasten the safety cable in the attachment point and around the truss as shown on the picture below.

Outdoor IP-rated fixtures
HAYA products are applied to official classified IP norm levels. For this product the IP rate is IP65 when using the covers for the chassis parts. IP65 means according classified norm: shielded against dust and pressurized water from any side. Typical use for outdoor rated stage events with normal weather acceptance. So no heavy rain, because then the water pressure over exceeds the IP norm.

Condensation/moisture inside housing

Because of high humidity levels during production condensation can occur inside the housing. This is mostly visible on the coldest parts of the fixture, like the front glass or display. To prevent this problem we work with special conditioned areas for outdoor fixtures. Because of the breathing air valves it is still possible to get humidity inside the fixture. This will evaporate slowly. Do not put wet fixtures in a flight case, this will help humidity enter the fixture.

Fixtures temperature specification
Make sure the fixture is used within its working temperature range. Outside this range we cannot guarantee correct operation.

Temporary usage:
Stage event equipment is designed with temporary use in mind. Our product purpose is for theatre, festival, (disco) clubs and indoor & outdoor concerts. Long term use is possible but keep in mind that it can bring damage to aging materials and affect the coated surface. stainless steel). Rubber sealings will be negatively affected after long-term UV exposure and should be checked by qualified service

Tighten screws too hard will also affect the IP-rating.

DMX control mode is selected in the CONTROL MODE menu. The fixture can be controlled with 3 DMX control modes:

Control panel

Here you can set all functions for the fixture.

Personality

Dimmer mode
provides five dimming options (see picture below):

• LINEAR – the increase in light intensity appears to be linear as DMX value is increased.
• SQUARE LAW – light intensity control is finer at low levels and coarser at high levels.
• INV Square law – light intensity control is coarser at low levels and finer at high levels.
• S-CURVE – light intensity control is finer at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.
• Special – the light intensity was linear increase with DMX value , and light intensity control is finer at low level with DMX values decrease , the dimmer speed will also has effect on it.

Whichever DIMMER CURVE option you select, you can choose between NORMAL or SMOOTH 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 dimming settings:

• NORMAL is the default setting. It gives a virtually instantaneous reaction when you dim from one intensity to another, but dimming slowly from one intensity to another may appear slightly uneven.
• The MOOTH 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 setting gives smoother dimming during slow changes in intensity, but it limits the speed of dimming changes slightly. This makes it ideal for slow, smooth dimming, but a short time-lag may be noticeable if you try to dim quickly from one intensity to another.
