Operation Without Dmx Controller; Setting The Spotlight Into Operation; Interconnecting Several Spotlights - IMG STAGELINE PARL-56PDX/CR Manual De Instrucciones

3 Applications
This spotlight is suited for applications on stage, in dis-
cothèques and party rooms or for decoration pur-
poses. It creates coloured light via 156 (PARL-56PDX)
or 212 (PARL-64PDX) extra bright 5 mm LEDs in blue,
red, and green. Music-controlled colour changes,
gradual transitions from one colour to another, and
stroboscopic effects will be possible.
The spotlight is designed for control via a DMX light
controller (4 DMX control channels), however, it can
also be operated without a controller or with the remote
control LC-3 available as an accessory.
4 Mounting
G
Always place the spotlight in such a way that a suffi-
cient air circulation will be ensured during operation.
Never cover the air vents of the housing (e. g. by cur-
tains).
G
The minimum distance to the illuminated object
should be 10 cm.
Fasten the spotlight via the mounting bracket (2), e.g.
with a stable mounting screw or a support for lighting
units (C-hook) on a cross bar.
WARNING Mount the spotlight safely and expertly.
If the spotlight is installed at a place
where people may walk or sit under it,
additionally secure it (e. g. by a safety
rope fixed to the mounting bracket; fas-
ten the safety rope in such a way that,
even in the event of a fall, the maximum
falling distance of the spotlight will not
exceed 20 cm).
To adjust the spotlight, release the two locking screws
(1) at the mounting bracket. Adjust the desired inclina-
tion of the spotlight, then tightly fasten the screws
again.

Setting the Spotlight into Operation

WARNING Never look directly into the LEDs; this
may cause eye damage.
Please note that fast changes in
lighting, e. g. flashing light, may trigger
epileptic seizures with photosensitive
persons or persons with epilepsy!
To switch on the spotlight, connect the plug of the
mains cable (5) to a socket (230 V~/50 Hz); to switch it
off, disconnect it.
For a more convenient operation, it is recom-
mended to connect the spotlight to a mains socket
which is switched on and off via a light switch.
Caution: Do not connect the spotlight to the mains
voltage via a dimmer!

Operation without DMX Controller

If the spotlight does not receive any DMX control sig-
nal, it will automatically change colours by gradual
transition from one colour to another.
If music is played at sufficient volume with a clear
rhythm in the bass range, the spotlight will change
colours to the beat of the music, controlled via an inter-
nal microphone. The LED (8) will flash each time the
colour is changed by sound. If the music control should
fail to operate optimally, increase the volume or reduce
the distance between the sound source and the spot-
light.

6.1 Interconnecting several spotlights

Several PARL-56PDX and PARL-64PDX units (also a
combination of both) may be interconnected in order to
change colours in sync or to control all slave units to
the same rhythm via the internal microphone of the
master unit.
For this purpose, connect the DMX OUTPUT (4) of
the master unit via a 3-pole XLR cable (e. g. series
MEC-... or MECN-... from the product range of "img
Stage Line") to the DMX INPUT (3) of the first slave
unit.
Connect the DMX OUTPUT of the first slave unit to
the DMX INPUT of the second slave unit, etc.
6.2 Remote control LC-3
The remote control LC-3 available as an accessory
allows to control various functions in addition to the
music control.
1) Connect the remote control to the jack REMOTE
CONTROL (9).
2) There must be no DMX signal at the DMX INPUT
(3).
3) Via the DMX OUTPUT (4), further PARL-56PDX or
PARL-64PDX units may be connected (
ter 6.1) in order to control them together with the
master unit via the remote control.
4) The button STAND BY (11) allows to activate/
deactivate the function Blackout. With the function
activated, the light will be off and the LED next to
the button will light up.
5) Select the operating mode with the button MODE
(13):
a) After switching on the spotlight, the mode
SOUND 1 will be activated. The LED next to the
button MODE will not light up. When the button
FUNCTION (12) is kept pressed, a music-
dependent stroboscopic effect will be created.
Each time the button is pressed again, this effect
will change between white light, changing
coloured light (in case of several spotlights as a
short sequence of only one flash per spotlight;
with the same colour for all spotlights), and
changing coloured light with different colours in
case of several spotlights.
