The P9 Beamspot is supplied with an assembled Schuko power cable with the powerCONTRUE1 plug (only the powerCON-TRUE1 plug is included in the US version). The installation of the power connection of the P9 Beamspot to the power supply (100-240 Volt, 50 – 60 Hertz) must be carried out by an authorised specialist.

Connection in Germany/Europe:

Connection outside Europe:

The P9 Beamspot may only be operated on the following power supply systems:

Mains connection

• Connected loads: Voltage 100-240 V, frequency 50 – 60 Hz, power max. 460 VA
• The electrical safety and function of the device can only be guaranteed if it is connected to a properly installed protective conductor system. It is very important that this basic safety requirement is met. If in doubt, have the electrical installation checked by a specialist. The manufacturer cannot be held responsible for damage caused by a missing or interrupted protective conductor (e.g. electric shock)! Only use the device when it is completely assembled so that no electrical components can be touched. (Danger 100-240 V)
• If you have observed the listed points, you can plug in the devices or have them connected to the mains by a specialist.

ATTENTION: The P9 Beamspot can light up immediately if standalone operation is activated or a DMX signal is present!

Wiring the power feed-through

ATTENTION: Only have it carried out by a specialist!

The P9 Beamspot has a powerCON-TRUE1 out power output. Depending on the local conditions several devices can be linked by powerCON-TRUE1 in and powerCON-TRUE1 out. Connect a maximum of six (when using 230V/16A) P9 Beam spots in a row. Use an approved three-core cable with a cross-section of at least 1.5 mm². Cabling must be done with the original Neutrik-coded plugs. The installation instructions of the manufacturer (www.neutrik.com) and the colour coding of the cable must be observed

Signal connections

DMX cabling

The DMX cabling (signal lines) should be done with a 4-pin cable with shielding. We recommend a DMX cable (110 Ohm, 2×0.22mm2 or 4×0.22mm2). The plugs and sockets are 5-pin XLR connectors, which can be purchased in specialist shops

Pin assignment:

• Pin1 = Ground/Shielding
• Pin2 = DMX –
• Pin3 = DMX +
• Pin4 = not connected
• Pin5 = not connected

The P9 Beamspot has a DMX-in and DMX-out connector. Now connect the DMX output of your controller to the 1st P9 Beamspot (Controller DMX-Out -> P9 Beamspot DMX-In). Then the 1st P9 Beamspot with the 2nd P9 Beamspot (P9 Beamspot DMX-Out -> P9 Beamspot DMX-In) and so on. In some cases it is advisable to insert a so-called end connector (XLR connector with a 120 Ohm resistor between pin 2 and pin 3). Whether an end connector is required depends on various factors, including the cable lengths used and the number of devices. However, as long as no problems occur in the DMX line, this is not necessary.

Ethernet cabling

Ethernet cabling can be done with standard network lines. The sockets on the device are Neutrik etherCON sockets. Special cables with etherCON connectors are recommended by Neutrik. The two sockets on the P9 Beamspot are connected to each other via a switch. Up to 10 devices can be connected in series without any delay. Of course, the spotlights can also be supplied in a star configuration via an external switch. The received signal can be output via DMX. To do this, set the DMX OUTPUT CONFIG setting to ON in the PERSONALITY menu. After confirming with ENTER, the spotlight emits the entire universe received via DMX.

ATTENTION: Make sure that there is no signal at the DMX input at the same time !!

Wireless reception

The P9 Beamspot is equipped as standard with a LumenRadio CRMX receiver for wireless DMX. The receiver can process both DMX and RDM. If a cable and wireless connection are connected to the P9 Beamspot, the cable connection has priority! The received signal can be output via DMX. To do this, set the DMX OUTPUT CONFIG setting to ON in the PERSONALITY menu. After confirming with ENTER, the spotlight emits the entire universe received via DMX.

ATTENTION: Make sure that there is no signal at the DMX input at the same time

Mounting the devices

ATTENTION: Allow a fixture distance of at least 0.5 metres from easily flammable material and the distance between the light emission and the surface to be illuminat-ed must be at least 2.0 meters.

• The P9 Beamspot can be placed on the floor or hang on a trussing system. Also a mounting horizontally to a truss system like in the picture is only allowed with our special mounting plate.
• When placing the unit on the floor make sure that it stands on rigid ground, because the air inlets in the base must not be covered with anything!
• To mount the unit on a trussing system use two of the original JB-Lighting omega brackets with original Camloc-connectors. You have following four possibilities to mount the omega brackets.
• The Camlocs must snap in to be locked properly. Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixture is secure. If you install the fixture to a truss always attach a safety cable, that can hold at least 10 times the weight of the fixture.

Control panel

• The P9 Beamspot has a graphic colour touch display that can be rotated 180° when installed in a suspended position. The display can be rotated in the PERSONALITY MENU or via shortcut ENTER + UP in the main screen.
• All parameters of the P9 Beamspot can be set on the control panel (see menu overview page 16).

Function and operation of the display

• The main menu provides information regarding the set DMX mode and, when the wireless mode is switched on, the field strength of the associated transmitter module. “ENTER” calls up a sub-menu or confirms an input. “ESC” is used to exit a function or a menu item. “UP” and “DOWN” are used to navigate within the menu and to enter values.
• Special areas can only be called up using a specific key combination. To do this, press and hold the “ENTER” key and then use the opposite “ESC” key to access the menu.
• To exit the function, proceed in reverse order.
• This applies in the SERVICE area for the FINE ADJUST function and in the STANDALONE area for the MODIFY, RUN and REMOTE functions.
• The main menu can also be locked to prevent unintentional access. It is also locked by pressing the “ENTER” key (keep it pressed) and then additionally locking it with the opposite “ESC” key.
• From software 1.5 onwards, all functions can also be operated via the touch display.

Display illumination as function display

• The display illumination remains switched off during the reset. Slowly flashing display illumination when “JB-Lighting” is displayed means no DMX signal is present.
• A very rapidly flashing display illumination when “JB-Lighting” is displayed means that a new error has been stored in the “ERROR LIST”, also an error message in the display (e.g. *PAN TIMEOUT) indicates this current error. This error occurs during this reset or in the operation before. This error is now automatically set to “read”, but remains in the “ERROR LIST”.
• A rapidly flashing display illumination shows an error in the “ERROR LIST” is still in it but has already been confirmed or was automatically confirmed. Only when the error has been deleted from the ERROR LIST does the P9 Beamspot start again without error signalling.
• If errors occur again and again contact the dealer / distributor or our service department.
• If the P9 Beamspot receives a DMX signal, the display illumination goes out after 30 seconds.
• Further settings for the display illumination see page 20 BACKLIGHT MODE.

DMX addressing

• In the main menu, the DMX address can be set directly by pressing the up/down keys.
• Display operation via battery backup
• By pressing the left button below the display, the configuration battery operation of the headlamp is activated, so the headlamp can be configured without power. It is possible to configure all the settings displayed by the menu, for example the DMX address can be set.

In order to connect the fixture to a transmitter, wireless must be set to ON on the fixture and the connection button must be pressed briefly on the transmitter.
• The transmitter is now looking for all fixtures where wireless is enabled and fixtures that are not connected to a transmitter. If the P9 Beamspot has successfully connected to the transmitter, the display shows a level indication of the current reception quality. If the P9 Beamspot is additionally connected via the DMX / etherCON connection sockets, these signals have priority over the radio link. Using the key shortcut ESC and DOWN, pressed in the main menu, the headlamp can be booked out of the booked transmitter (see page 22).
• Under NETWORK -> MODE you can toggle between Artnet operation and sACN operation.
• For network operation, the IP address of the spotlight must be selected or set under NETWORK -> IP ADDRESS. Each headlight has a unique standard IP address.
• Under IP ADDRESS -> DEFAULT IP this can be changed from the network 10.xxx.xxx.xxx to a network 2.xxx.xxx.xxx. For your own self-definable IP address, you can set your own desired IP address under IP ADDRESS -> USER-IP. This address is divided into BYTE1 to BYTE 4 and can be set one after the other.

DMX MODE – setting the operation mode

• The P9 Beamspot has 2 operating modes (see channel assignment for P9 Beamspot on page 24). All parameters of P9 Beamspot can be operated via mode 1. However, all channels (except pan/tilt) are controlled with 8 bits. By selecting Mode 2 – 16 Bit the gobo, prism rotation, CMY/CTO(CTB), dimmer, focus, zoom, the complete shutter slide unit as well as pan/tilt are controlled via 16 Bit.

DMX OUTPUT CONFIG – configuration of the DMX output

Under this menu item, the DMX output of the headlamp can be activated, that is a received Art-net, or wireless DMX signal can be output by activating this menu item -> ON via the DMX socket again. Make sure that there is no signal at the DMX input at the same time !!

CURVES – setting dimmer, RGB/CMY, frost curve

• Dimmer curve:
  The dimmer curve can be changed from SQUARE to LINEAR and to SQUARE INV.. The “exponential” dimmer curve (factory setting) causes the dimmer to fade in and out more smoothly.
• RGB/CMY curve:
  3 different curves can be set for the RGB / CMY curve. SQUARE INV. LEGACY is the original curve of the P9 Beamspot. The SQUARE-INV.LEGACY curve causes a visually more uniform retraction. LINEAR and SQUARE INV., Are the two adapted curves on the P18 MK2.
• Frost curve:
  The frost curves can be changed from linear to invers exponential (square inv.). The “invers exponential” frost curve causes the frost to fade in and out more smoothly.

CAMERA MODE – setting the repetition frequency of the LEDs

To avoid flickering during TV recordings, the P9 Beamspot can be adjusted from 50 HZ (PAL, Secam, repetition rate 100Hz) to 60 HZ (NTSC, repetition rate 100Hz) for different camera systems. Flex mode (repetition rate 600Hz is set when using different camera systems or when shooting with mobile phone cameras or similar non-professional cameras. A HighFlex mode is also available. In this mode, the repetition frequencies are set to 3 kHz, which is necessary to ensure smooth movements in dimmed lighting scenes. The factory setting of the P9 Beamspot is 60 Hertz. The changeover is also possible with the light mixing console via the control channel.

COOLING MODE – adjustment of brightness and fan volume

• In the COOLING MODE menu item you can set the fan control and the brightness of the P9 Beamspot. The following settings are available.
• THEATRE WHISPER: volume 29dB(a). In this mode, the spotlight runs at the same brightness up to an ambient temperature of 40°C. It is not necessary to speed up the fans in this mode.
• THEATRE SILENT: from 40°C ambient temperature the spotlight regulates the fans a little up thus remains that the brightness is always the same level.
• STANDARD: from an ambient temperature of approx. 36°C the fans run to cool the LED accord-ingly. The brightness remains constant.
• BOOST: Brightness 15000 lm, the fans run a little stronger in this mode, from approx. 40° ambi-ent temperature the fans run again accordingly.
• LONGLIFE: the fans run a little stronger in this mode, from approx. 40° ambient temperature the fans run again accordingly. We would recommend this mode for permanent installations, as the LED module runs cooler and thus more “stress-free”.
• There is no danger to the life of the device in any mode, as the P9 Beamspot has a temperature safety shutdown. In addition, the LED module is switched off from an ambient temperature of 60°C!
• PAN TILT SPEED – setting pan/tilt speed

  Upon the “Reset” command, P9 Beamspot will initialise to its initial values. It is the same procedure as after switching on the P9 Beamspot. If an error message appears in the display, this could be the first step to correct it.
• ERROR LIST
  The P9 Beamspot stores all occurring errors internally. An error message can have a harmless cause. If you experience frequent error messages, please contact your dealer or the JB-Lighting service department. All error messages are displayed with the respective frequency and can be deleted.
• FUNCTION TEST
  This function allows you to test all functions of the P9 Beamspot without using a light mixer. The pan/tilt reset is deactivated in the process.
• DMX TEST
  This menu item is used to test the DMX input. Use the function keys to select the DMX channel to be tested. The display shows the incoming value, at the same time the P9 Beamspot reacts accordingly.
• INIT PAN TILT
  The P9 Beamspot is calibrated in the pan/tilt position at the factory. If it loses this calibration, i.e. it strikes against the stop or no longer finds its position, it can be re-initialised using this function. This process takes about 3-4 minutes and ends with a reset of the spotlight.
• DISPLAY CONTRAST
  The contrast of the LCD display may change when the temperature is too high. In this menu item the contrast can be adjusted.
• FINE ADJUST
  The FINE ADJUST area is protected by a key combination. Focus, shapers, shaper rotation, pan and tilt are calibrated at the factory. If there are large deviations in the calibration between the individual headlights, this can be corrected in the FINE ADJUST menu. For more information please contact our service.
• IDENTIFY DEVICE
  The RDM command IDENTIFY DEVICE can be called up or deactivated via this menu item.

Changing gobo

WARNING: Disconnect fixture before opening!

To open the device (from the right side) place the  spotlight on a firm base as shown in the picture, the display (1) facing you, the tilt lock (2) is on the right side and the spotlight head facing away from you (3) (Or look through the grille into the spotlight from behind and find a closed honeycomb showing the cover to be opened). To lift off the cover, open the four camlocks by half a turn, lift off the cover and unhook the safety lanyard. Now open the two knurled screws (4) and remove the gobo insert. The following figure (1) shows the gobo insert of the P9 Beamspot. Check that the focus is moved direction to the front lense

To change the rotating gobos remove only the clamping ring (A) with a pointed object replace the gobo and then put the clamping ring again. When installing glass gobos, make sure the white coated side faces the front lens. Gobos that are not allowed to twist, e.g. Logos are additionally recommended to be secured against twisting with a drop of silicone adhesive.
When inserting original gobos, pay attention to the markings on the gobo, the gobo holder and the gobo wheel!

Gobo size

If you want to have your own gobos produced, please note the following dimensions:

• Usable diameter, rotating gobowheel 1: 16.00 mm
• Usable diameter, rotating gobowheel 2: 16.00mm
• Outer diameter: 19.90 mm (+0/-0.1 mm)
• Maximum thickness: 1.1 mm

Software update

The P9 Beamspot can be updated via a USB stick with micro-USB connection. To do this, copy the file directly into the root directory of the USB stick. Then press and hold the right key below the display, switch on the power of the P9 Beamspot as soon as the message Insert USB stick appears on the display release the key. Now plug in the USB stick on the back of the device below the signal connections and follow the instructions on the display. The P9 Beamspot com-pletes the software update with a reset. You will find the latest software on our homepage.

Testing of electrical equipment

According to the German Social Accident Insurance (DGUV) Regulation 3 / Regulation 4, electrical systems and equipment must be subjected to regular inspections. The fixing screw of the DMX 5-pin socket can be used as measuring point for insulation and residual current measurement. The screw is connected to all sheet metal parts via a contact washer.

Cleaning the device

You should check the function of the fans in the head and foot at regular intervals. Above all, make sure that the air intakes and the interior of the P9 Beamspot are free of fluff and dust. To do this, open the head cover (4x camlocks with half a turn) and the base plate on the foot. You can clean the P9 Beamspot with a brush and a vacuum cleaner. In addition, you can remove the gobo insert (1) and the shutter slide insert (2) by loosening the knurled screws (3) and sliding the focus carriage towards the lens. Then you can clean the colour filters, glass gobos and CMY panes with a soft cloth and a little window cleaner. To clean the frost flaps, prisms and zoom/focus unit, remove the four Phillips screws (4) and then the cover. Ensure that you do not bend or damage any parts during cleaning. When cleaning is complete, reconnect the flap, replace the Phillips screws (4) and return the inserts to the unit.

Service and maintenance

• On the P9 Beamspot, the zoom / focus guide rails and the rotating gobos should be checked for sufficient lubrication at regular intervals – once a year. To do this, open the head cover (4x camlocks with half a turn), the zoom cover (3 Phillips screws) see (4) and remove the gobo insert (2 knurled screws).
• Please note that the rotating gobos and the guide rails do not run dry; if necessary, the rotating gobos must be oiled with a special syringe and the guide rails with a brush with our special sil-icone oil.
• After the gobos and the rails have been checked or oiled, reinsert the slot and close the zoom cover again. After completing the work, replace the head cover on the headlight and test all the functions of the headlight.
