Warning

FOR YOUR OWN SAFETY, PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL CAREFULLY

BEFORE YOUR INITIAL START-UP!

Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Your shipment includes:

• Showtec Blade Runner including hanging bracket

• IEC powercable 1,5m

• User manual

LED Expected Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours will be achieved under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the reduction of overall projection intensity.

CAUTION!

Keep this device away from rain and moisture!

Unplug mains lead before opening the housing!

Fixture Linking

You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support.

Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line. To comply with the

EIA-485 standard no more than 30 devices should be connected on one data link.

Connecting more than 30 fixtures on one serial data link without the use of a DMX optically isolated splitter may result in deterioration of the digital DMX signal.

Maximum recommended DMX data link distance: 100 meters

Maximum recommended number of Blade Runners on a DMX data link: 30 fixtures

Data Cabling

To link fixtures together you must obtain data cables. You can purchase DAP Audio certified DMX cables directly from a dealer/distributor or construct your own cable. If you choose to create your own cable please use data-grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to electromagnetic interference.

DAP Audio Certified DMX Data Cables

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 the next time.)

DMX Addressing

The control panel on the front side of the Blade Runner allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is the first channel from which the Blade Runner will respond to the controller.

Please note when you use the controller, the unit has 3 channels.

When using multiple Blade Runner, make sure you set the DMX addresses right.

Therefore, the DMX address of the first Blade Runner should be 1(A001); the DMX address of the second

Blade Runner should be 1+3=4 (d004); the DMX address of the third Blade Runner should be 4+3=7

(d007), etc. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each

Blade Runner correctly.

If two or more Blade Runner are addressed similarly, they will work similarly.

For address settings, please refer to the instructions under ”Addressing’

Controlling:

After having addressed all Blade Runner fixtures, you may now start operating these via your lighting controller.

Note: After switching on, the Blade Runner will automatically detect whether DMX 512 data is received or not. If there is no data received at the DMX-input, the “LED “ on the control panel will not flash.

The problem may be:

• The XLR cable from the controller is not connected with the input of the Blade Runner.

• 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.

Maintenance

The Showtec Blade Runner 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. Keep connections clean. Disconnect electric power, and then wipe the connections with a damp cloth. Make sure connections are thoroughly dry before linking equipment or supplying electric power.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating and machine-technical installations are to be inspected by an expert after every four years in the course of an acceptance test.

The operator has to make sure that safety-relating 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:

1. All screws used for installing the device or parts of the device have to be tightly connected and must not be corroded.

2. There may not be any deformations on housings, fixations and installation spots.

3. Mechanically moving parts like axles, eyes and others may not show any traces of wearing.

4. The electric power supply cables must not show any damages or material fatigue.

Replacing a 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 to do so.

1. Unplug the unit from electric power source .

2. Insert a screwdriver into the slot in the fuse cover. Gently pry up the fuse cover. The fuse will come out .

3. Remove the used fuse. If brown or unclear, it is burned out .

4. Insert the replacement fuse into the holder where the old fuse was. Reinsert the fuse cover. Be sure to use a fuse of the same type and specification. See the product specification label for details.

Troubleshooting

No Light

This troubleshooting guide is meant to help solve simple problems.

If a problem occurs, carry out the steps below in sequence until a solution is found. Once the unit operates properly, do not carry out following steps.

If the light effect does not operate properly, refer servicing to a technician.
