This document serves as an instruction manual for an Outdoor Pixel Washer LED lighting fixture, produced by V-SHOW PRO LIGHTING. It outlines the proper procedures for installation, operation, and maintenance, emphasizing safety precautions to ensure longevity and prevent damage or injury.
The device is a professional lighting equipment designed for both indoor and outdoor applications, including theatrical performances, architectural lighting, and general wall washing. It can function as a standalone unit or be integrated into a larger lighting control system. The design incorporates die-cast aluminum shells, which contribute to its aesthetic appeal, durability, and efficient heat dissipation. The product adheres to the international DMX512 protocol, allowing for flexible control options.
Upon receiving the product, users are advised to carefully inspect the packaging and the equipment itself for any signs of damage incurred during transportation. Any discrepancies or defects should be reported to the shipping company immediately. The manual also instructs users to verify that the received items match the freight bill and to contact the supplier if there are any inconsistencies. A list of included accessories, such as the lamp unit, power cord, signal line, and instruction manual, is provided for verification.
For optimal performance and safety, the manual stresses several key points regarding usage and installation. It warns against operating the device immediately after it has experienced significant temperature changes, such as during transportation, to prevent damage from thermal expansion and contraction. Users should wait until the device reaches normal room temperature before powering it on. Strong collisions and shocks during installation should be avoided. The lamp should not be lifted by its cap, as this could compromise the mechanical integrity of the equipment.
When selecting an installation location, it is crucial to ensure that the product is not exposed to excessive heat, humidity, or dust. Wires should be properly managed and waterproofed to prevent electric shock hazards. Before hanging the product, the installation point must be confirmed to be safe and capable of supporting at least ten times the product's weight. Double protection devices, such as safety ropes, are mandatory for suspended installations. It is strictly forbidden to stand directly under the installation point during hanging, removal, or repair operations.
The manual highlights the importance of maintaining the glass lens in good condition, recommending immediate replacement if it is damaged or scratched. Operation of this equipment is recommended for technicians familiar with the product, as non-professional operation can lead to damage and losses. The packing materials should be retained for potential future transportation needs. Unauthorized modifications to the product are discouraged, as they can void the warranty and lead to malfunctions, short circuits, burning, or electric shock. The manufacturer explicitly states that any equipment failure resulting from operation or use not in accordance with the manual's provisions, or any damage caused by short circuits, injury, or other issues, will not be covered under warranty.
Regarding power connection, the lamp is designed to operate with a normal voltage of 230V. For user safety, the yellow-green ground wire must always be properly grounded. The manual includes a warning symbol indicating "LETHAL VOLTAGE PRESENT INSIDE," reinforcing the need for caution. When connecting or disconnecting the power supply, users should always hold the plug directly rather than pulling the cord. The power cord should not be used in harsh environments and should undergo testing before installation, with periodic checks thereafter. To prevent confusion and entanglement, the power cord and other signal lines should not be tied together.
The device features high-brightness four-in-one lamp beads, offering full color, pure color mixing, high brightness, long life, low light decay, and flicker-free operation. Each lamp bead can be controlled independently, allowing for rich flow effects. The product incorporates dozens of built-in effect programs and supports sound control auto-propelled mode. The wiring uses high-temperature resistant and antifreeze wire, designed to resist dust accumulation over time. The lamp shell, made from abundant aluminum material and die-cast aluminum, ensures superior heat dissipation, increased resistance to falls, and reduced susceptibility to deformation and damage. The electronic components of the power supply and motherboard are sourced from well-known domestic manufacturers, contributing to the overall quality and reliability of the lamp while minimizing the failure rate.
The manual also details the DMX connection process, which is widely used for lamp control and supports up to 512 channels. For the last luminaire in a DMX signal line, a terminator (a 120Ω, 1/4W resistor soldered between pin2 and pin3 of a 3-pin XLR plug) is required to reduce signal transmission errors. XLR signal cables should be used in series, not parallel, to connect lamps. Damage to the signal line, weak welding, or poor contact can affect signal transmission and cause system shutdown. If the power supply to a lamp is cut off, the DMX output and input connections are bypassed to maintain the DMX line connection. Each lamp requires an address code (ranging from 0 to 512) to receive information from the console.
Maintenance guidelines emphasize that power connections should only be made by professionals. Users must ensure that the operating voltage falls within the specified range in the manual. The power cord should be protected from sharp blades and damage. It is essential to disconnect the power supply when the lamp is not in use or before cleaning. Only the plug should be used to connect the power cord, and it should not be pulled forcibly. When installing, care must be taken to avoid touching bare wires to prevent electric shock. Direct eye exposure to the light source during operation should be avoided. The installation location should be free from extreme heat, humidity, or dust, with a minimum distance of 0.5 meters between the lamp and any illuminated objects, and no flammable or explosive materials within 0.5 meters. Proper and safe wires must be used for connections. Operation should only commence after familiarization with the lamp's functions, as improper handling is a common cause of damage. The lamp should not be shaken or handled roughly, nor should it be modified without authorization, as this voids the warranty and can lead to serious malfunctions.
