IMPORTANT!!!
Please DO NOT run the machine before the payload is properly applied! If the hoist is powered off in a DMX mode, you must set both CH6 and CH8 (8CH mode) or both CH6 and CH7 (7CH mode) to 0 on the connected DMX controller before turning on the power of the hoist again; After power on again, the unit needs to be reset twice: Once when power is on; another reset at CH8=(240-245) (8CH mode) or CH7=(240-245) (7CH mode). Otherwise, the hoist may run in error.
Warnings: Please keep sufficient safety distance and lifting distance in installation
| Step 1: Attach the clamp to the hoist | Step 2: Hang the hoist on the truss, fasten the clamp and correctly use the safety rope | Step 3: Attach the LED color sphere to the hoist |
 |  |
|
Cautions: Do not run the hoist without any payload being applied.
The lifting cord is inside the hoist when in package. When you take out the hoist, the LED color sphere must be hung to the hoist BEFORE you power on the hoist. Running the hoist without any payload is prohibited, because the lifting cord may be entangled inside the cordwheel and cause error.
- Step 1: Once the payload is applied, power on the hoist. The hoist will start resetting.
- Step 2: Connect a DMX console to test the hoist.
- Step 3: Connect the hoists to a DMX console and reset them again by DMX: Move 8CH to 240~245. If any of the hoists do not reset, check the DMX connections.
- Step 4: Move 8CH to outside 240-245; Otherwise, the unit will keep the time. Make sure that all the hoists are reset correctly and the balls the correct position. Then, you can start operate the fixtures. Please mind when programming a chase.
Tips:
- The dimmer channels (1CH-4CH) shall be enabled by 5CH;
- The strobe effects (5CH) will only be seen when the light is the dimmer channels (1CH-4CH).
- 6CH is for lifting up and down. Fade in and fade out (slope) is not applicable to this channel.
Please take into account the lifting up/down time when programming a chase. If a new chase step is made before the lifting up/down is completed in a previous step, error may occur and/or noise may be heard.
