Do you have a question about the Algam Lighting SPIDER TRI 912 and is the answer not in the manual?
The Algam Lighting Spider Tri 912 is a rotating LED beam moving head effect designed for professional indoor use. It features 9x12W RGBW LEDs, offering a wide range of color mixing and dynamic lighting possibilities.
The Spider Tri 912 operates in various modes, including DMX, master/slave, auto, and sound control, providing flexibility for different lighting setups. Its DMX protocol supports 16, 24, or 48 channels, allowing for precise control over its numerous functions.
Key DMX Channel Functions (16-channel mode):
The 24-channel and 48-channel modes expand on these, offering individual dimming control for groups of LEDs (LED 1-3, LED 4-6, LED 7-9) for each color (Red, Green, Blue, White), allowing for more intricate and nuanced lighting designs.
The device's control panel includes a LED display for menu navigation, along with buttons for MENU, UP, DOWN, and ENTER. Indicators show the active mode: DMX, VOICE (sound control), HOST (master), and SLAVE. A built-in microphone allows for sound-activated operation.
The device is equipped with standard XLR 3-pin connectors for DMX input and output, and PowerCON-compatible connectors for power input and output, allowing for daisy-chaining power to other Spider Tri 912 units.
Installation: The Spider Tri 912 is designed for indoor use only and must be installed in a dry, well-ventilated area, ensuring at least 20 cm of free air space around the unit. It requires robust hooks and adequate mounting hardware capable of supporting at least 10 times the unit's weight. Installation should be performed by qualified personnel, out of public reach, and must include a secondary safety sling. The power cord should be grounded, and the electrical circuit protected by a fuse or circuit breaker and a differential protection device. Flexible wiring should be securely fixed to the wall if within arm's reach to prevent strangulation hazards.
Operation: Before powering on, verify that the mains voltage and frequency match the device's requirements. The power plug should always be accessible for immediate disconnection in emergencies. The unit generates intense light, so direct eye exposure to the beam should be avoided. During operation, the exterior can become very hot, and contact should be avoided for at least 10 minutes after use to prevent burns. The device should never be left unattended while operating.
Control: The menu system allows users to configure DMX addresses, select channel modes (16CH, 24CH, 48CH), choose operation modes (Auto, Sound, DMX, Slave), and adjust various effects and dimming parameters.
For DMX control, a 120-ohm DMX terminator should be used on the last device in the chain to prevent signal interference.
General Maintenance: The Spider Tri 912 is not user-serviceable. Any disassembly, repair, or modification by unqualified personnel will void the warranty and may lead to damage or malfunction. Repairs should only be carried out by an authorized service center. The light source should only be replaced by the manufacturer, its service agent, or an equivalently qualified person.
Cleaning and Inspection: Screens, lenses, or UV filters must be replaced if visibly damaged to an extent that compromises their effectiveness (e.g., deep cracks or scratches). The lamp should also be replaced if damaged or deformed by heat. Before any maintenance or cleaning, the unit must be disconnected from the mains power supply. The device should never be immersed in water or any other liquid; it should only be wiped with a slightly damp cloth.
Cable and Fuse: If the external flexible cable or cord of the luminaire is damaged, it must be replaced with a special cable or cord exclusively provided by the manufacturer or its service agent. In case of a fuse replacement, it is crucial to use a fuse of the same type and rating to avoid fire risk.
