The BeamZ SLIMPAR 30W is a lighting product designed for various applications, from club effects to architectural lighting. It is part of the "BEAMZ MADE EAZY" line, emphasizing ease of use and installation. This quick start guide provides essential information for unpacking, powering, rigging, and operating the device using its remote control.
Function Description
The SLIMPAR 30W is a versatile lighting fixture capable of producing a range of lighting effects. It can operate in several modes:
- Blackout Mode: This mode allows you to temporarily turn off all existing lighting modes. Pressing the button on the remote control will switch off the current modes, and pressing it again will return to the last active modes.
- Auto Mode: In this mode, the unit runs through its pre-programmed automatic lighting sequences. Users can select different auto programs using the remote control.
- Sound Mode: The device can react to music and sound, creating dynamic lighting effects synchronized with audio. Various sound programs can be selected to match the desired response.
- Strobe Mode: This mode enables the unit to produce strobe effects. The speed of the strobe can be adjusted, and the mode can be turned off by pressing the button again.
- Speed Mode: This mode allows for the adjustment of the overall speed of automatic and sound-active programs, providing control over the pace of the lighting effects.
- Sensitivity Mode: Specifically for Sound-Active mode, this feature allows users to adjust how sensitive the unit is to sound, enabling fine-tuning of its response to music.
- DMX / % Mode: This mode is crucial for professional setups, allowing the unit to be controlled via DMX (Digital Multiplex) protocols. When DMX mode is enabled, the product operates under the control of a DMX controller.
- Manual Mode: This mode provides direct control over the color output. Users can select specific colors (cool white, warm white, or UV) and adjust their percentage (intensity) using the remote control.
- Fade/Unit Mode: This mode controls the fade speed for automatic, sound-active, and manual modes, allowing for smooth transitions between colors and effects. The fade mode can be toggled on and off.
- Number 1-9 (Brightness Adjustment): This feature allows for the adjustment of the brightness level for automatic, sound-active, and manual modes using numerical inputs on the remote control.
Usage Features
The SLIMPAR 30W is designed for flexible deployment and operation:
- Unpacking and Initial Setup: Upon receiving the product, it is essential to carefully unpack it and check for any shipping damage. All packing materials should be retained for inspection. If the unit has been exposed to drastic temperature fluctuations, it should be allowed to reach room temperature before being switched on to prevent damage from condensation.
- Power Supply: The unit must be connected to a power supply that matches the specifications indicated on the label. It should be directly connected to the mains and not used with a dimmer or adjustable power supply. A protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse) and proper electrical grounding are mandatory to prevent electrocution or fire.
- Rigging: The unit can be placed on a stable, even surface or mounted upside down to a truss. For truss mounting, certified clamps with the correct safe working load are required. The quick-lock bolts of the omega brackets are inserted into the base plate openings and turned clockwise until they lock. The mounting surface must be stable enough to support 10 times the unit's weight. A safety cable must always be used to prevent the unit from falling. All installation procedures must comply with European and national guidelines concerning rigging and safety, and installation should be checked by an authorized dealer.
- Remote Control Operation: The device comes with a remote control that offers comprehensive control over all its functions.
- Battery Activation: Before first use, an insulating foil must be removed from the battery support on the rear side of the remote control. This prevents battery discharge during storage.
- Battery Replacement: If the remote control's range decreases, the battery needs to be replaced. This involves pressing a small bar with a groove on the rear side and simultaneously removing the battery support. A 3V button cell type CR 2025 is required, ensuring the positive pole faces upwards when inserted.
- Mode Selection: Dedicated buttons on the remote allow for easy selection of Blackout, Auto, Sound, Strobe, Speed, Sensitivity, DMX, Manual, and Fade modes.
- Parameter Adjustment: The <+> and <-> buttons are used to increase or decrease values such as program speed, sound sensitivity, or color percentage.
- Color Selection: In Manual mode, specific buttons (W, O, UV) allow for the selection and toggling of cool white, warm white, or UV colors.
- Brightness Control: Digits 1 through 9 on the remote control allow for direct adjustment of the brightness level.
Maintenance Features
While the manual primarily focuses on initial setup and operation, some aspects touch upon maintenance implicitly:
- Careful Unpacking and Handling: The emphasis on retaining packing materials and notifying the shipper of damage suggests that proper handling and care from the outset are crucial for the device's longevity.
- Environmental Considerations: The warning about temperature fluctuations and condensation highlights the importance of operating the device within suitable environmental conditions to prevent internal damage.
- Professional Installation Check: The recommendation to have the installation checked by an authorized dealer implies that regular professional checks might be beneficial for ensuring continued safe and optimal operation, which is a form of preventative maintenance.
- Battery Replacement: The instructions for replacing the remote control battery are a direct maintenance task, ensuring the continued functionality of the primary control interface.
The BeamZ SLIMPAR 30W is designed to be a reliable and user-friendly lighting solution, offering a range of effects and control options suitable for various lighting needs. Its "MADE EAZY" philosophy is reflected in the straightforward instructions for setup and operation.
