Safety instructions
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by high voltages inside
Within the device there are areas where high voltages may be present. Never remove any covers.
There are no user-serviceable parts inside.
DANGER!
Electric shock caused by short-circuit
Always use proper ready-made insulated mains cabling (power cord) with a pro‐ tective contact plug. Do not modify the mains cable or the plug. Failure to do so could result in electric shock/death or fire. If in doubt, seek advice from a regis‐ tered electrician.

Installation
WARNING!
Risk of injury caused by falling objects
Make sure that the installation complies with the standards and rules that apply in your country. Always secure the device with a secondary safety attachment, such as a safety cable or a safety chain.
NOTICE!
Risk of overheating
Always ensure sufficient ventilation.
The ambient temperature must always be below 40 °C (104 °F).

Installation
NOTICE!
Use of stands
When mounting the device onto a stand, ensure that the stand is in a safe and stable position and that the weight of the device does not exceed the maximum permissible load capacity of the stand.
NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐ nary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐ fiers.

Starting up
Connections in DMX mode
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω,
¼ W).

Connections in master/slave mode
Starting up
If the unit is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is connected and turned on, a dot on the fourth digit of the display will flash. If the unit is in DMX mode, but without a turned on DMX controller connected, the display will flash.
When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the
DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.

Plug and connection assignments
9 Plug and connection assignments
Introduction
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ ment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!
DMX connections
The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suitable XLR plug.

NOTICE!
Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi‐ nary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli‐ fiers.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
LED floodlight
44
Troubleshooting
Symptom
The unit does not work, no light, the display is dark
Apparently no function despite proper power supply
No response to the DMX con‐ troller
Remedy
Check the mains connection and the main fuse.
Check if the unit is in DMX mode or in ‘slave’ mode. If so, check the device into a different mode.
1. If the unit is in DMX mode and the display flashes, no
DMX signal is received. Check that the DMX controller is switched on. Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper connection.
2. If the unit is in DMX mode and a DMX controller is connected and turned on, a dot on the fourth digit of the display will flash. If it doesn't, no valid DMX signal is received. Check that the DMX controller is switched on.
Check the DMX connectors and cables for proper con‐ nection.
3. If the display dot is flashing but there is still no response, check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
Show Bar Tri 18x3W RGB
45
Troubleshooting
Symptom Remedy
4. Try using another DMX controller.
5. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or alongside to high voltage cables that may cause damage or inter‐ ference to DMX interface circuits.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.

Cleaning
11 Cleaning
Optical lenses
Fan grids
Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the device.
n
Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no. 280122).
n Always dry the parts carefully.
The fan grids of the device must be cleaned on a regular basis to remove dust and dirt. Before cleaning, switch off the device and disconnect AC-powered devices from the mains. Use a lintfree damp cloth for cleaning. Never use solvents or alcohol for cleaning.
