3. SETUP
AC Power
The SlimPAR™ Pro VW has an auto-ranging power supply and it can work with an input
voltage range of 100 to 240 VAC, 50/60 Hz.
To determine the product’s power requirements (circuit breaker, power outlet, and
wiring), use the current value listed on the label affixed to the product’s back panel, or
refer to the product’s specifications chart. The listed current rating indicates the
product’s average current draw under normal conditions.
Always connect the product to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse). Make
sure the product has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of
electrocution or fire.
Never connect the product to a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even
if the rheostat or dimmer channel serves only as a 0 to 100% switch.

Mounting
Before mounting the product, read and follow the safety recommendations indicated in
the Safety Notes.
Orientation
The SlimPAR™ Pro VW may be mounted in any position; however, make sure adequate
ventilation is provided around the product
Rigging
·
Before deciding on a location, always make sure there is easy access to the product
for maintenance and programming.
·
Make sure that the structure or surface onto which you are mounting the product
can support the product’s weight (see the Technical Specifications).
·
When mounting the product overhead, always use a safety cable. Mount the
product securely to a rigging point, such as an elevated platform or a truss.
·
When rigging the product onto a truss, you should use a mounting clamp of
appropriate weight capacity. The bracket has 13-mm holes, which are appropriate
for this purpose.
·
When power linking multiple products, you must always consider the length of the
power linking cable and mount the products close enough for the cable to reach.
·
The bracket adjustment knobs allow for directional adjustment when aiming the
product to the desired angle. Only loosen or tighten the bracket knobs manually.
Using tools could damage the knobs.
·
The double-bracketed yoke also allows for surface mounting. When mounting the
product on the floor, make sure that the product and cables are away from people
and vehicles.

Lens Assembly
Replacement
The SlimPAR™ Pro VW comes with a factory-installed wide-angle lens assembly. A
narrow lens (17°) assembly is available as an optional accessory (SPPVWLENS17).
This narrow lens assembly will alter the beam and field angles of the fixture.
To replace the lens assembly, follow the instructions below.
1. Remove the four Allen screws from the front trim ring with a #3 metric Allen wrench.
2. Remove the front cover (with glass still attached to the ring).
3. You now have access to the lens assembly. Use a Philips-head screwdriver to
remove the five screws that hold it in place.
4. Carefully remove the lens assembly. The LEDs and circuit board will now be
exposed. Use caution to prevent damaging them.
5. Place the new lens assembly in the fixture and reinstall the five Philips screws.
Tighten screws as simultaneously as possible to the same tension. Do not overtighten the screws as this could cause damage.
6. Put the front cover in place and reinstall the five Allen screws.

Master/Slave
Mode
The Master/Slave mode allows a single SlimPAR™ Pro VW (the “master”) to control the
actions of one or more SlimPAR™ Pro VW units (the “slaves”) without the need of a
DMX controller. The master will be set to operate in either an auto program or static
color, while the slaves will be set to operate in Slave mode. Once set and connected, the
slaves will operate in unison with the master.
Configure the units as indicated below.
The slaves:
1. Set the DMX starting address to 001.
2.
3.
Connect the DMX input of the first slave to the DMX output of the master.
Connect the DMX input of the subsequent slaves to the DMX output of the previous
slave.
4. Finish setting and connecting all the slaves.
The master:
1.
2.
Set the master unit to operate in either an auto program or static color.
Make the master unit the first product in the DMX daisy chain.
·
Configure all the slaves before connecting the master to the DMX daisy chain.
·
Never connect a DMX controller to a DMX string configured for Master/Slave
operation because the controller may interfere with the signals from the
master.
·
Do not connect more than 31 slaves to the master.

5. TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Product
Maintenance
Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can
lead to reduction of the light source’s life and mechanical wear. To maintain optimum
performance and minimize wear, clean the product at least twice a month. However,
usage and environmental conditions contribute to increased cleaning frequency.
To clean the product, follow the instructions below:
·
Unplug the product from power.
·
Wait until the product is at room temperature.
·
Use a vacuum (or dry compressed air) and a soft brush to remove dust collected on
the external surface/vents.
·
Clean all external optics and glass/transparent surfaces with a mild soap solution,
ammonia-free glass cleaner, or isopropyl alcohol.
·
Apply the solution directly to a soft, lint-free cotton cloth or a lens cleaning tissue.
·
Softly wipe any dirt or grime to the outside edges of the external optics or
glass/transparent surface.
·
Gently polish the external optics and glass/transparent surfaces until they are free of
haze and lint.
Always dry the external optics and glass/transparent surfaces carefully after
cleaning them.
