an appropriate support (e . g . C hook, mount-
ing clamp) . To fasten the mounting bracket to
the unit, insert the two bolts of the bracket
into the holes (10) of the base plate; then,
using force, turn the two bolts clockwise to
the stop so that they engage .
WARNING The unit must be installed in a
safe and expert manner . If the
unit is installed at a place where
people may walk or sit under
it, additionally secure the unit
[e . g . by means of a safety rope
guided through the lug (11);
fasten the safety rope in such
a way that the maximum fall-
ing distance of the unit will not
exceed 20 cm] .
5 Establishing
Control Connections
To operate the units with a DMX controller
or in the master / slave mode, interconnect
the units by means of the XLR connections .
For connection, special cables for DMX signal
transmission should be used (e . g . cables of
the CDMXN series from IMG STAGE LINE) .
For cable lengths exceeding 150 m, it is gen-
erally recommended to insert a DMX level
matching amplifier (e . g . SR-103DMX from
IMG STAGE LINE) .
5.1 Operation with a
DMX controller
1) Connect the DMX input (5) to the DMX
output of the DMX controller or to the
DMX output of another DMX-controlled
unit .
2) Connect the DMX output (4) to the DMX
input of the following DMX-controlled
unit . Connect the output of this unit to
the input of the subsequent unit etc . until
all DMX-controlled units have been con-
nected in a chain .
3) To prevent interference in signal transmis-
sion, in case of long cables or a multitude
of units connected in series, terminate the
DMX output of the last unit in the chain
with a 120 Ω resistor (> 0 .3 W): Connect
a corresponding terminating plug (e . g .
DLT-123 from IMG STAGE LINE) to the
output jack .
5.2 Master/slave mode
In the master/slave mode, a show program
will synchronously run on multiple units
WASH-100RGBW . In this mode, the first
unit (master unit) will control the other units
(slave units) . As in the DMX mode, connect
the units in a chain (see above); however, do
not connect the DMX input of the first unit
in the chain .
6 Power Supply
To supply the unit with power, connect the
mains cable provided to the mains input
jack (7) and then to a socket (230 V~/ 50 Hz) .
When multiple WASH-100RGBW are used,
the mains output jack POWER OUT (6) of the
first unit can be connected to the mains input
jack (7) of the second unit . For this, a mains
cable with a 3-pin IEC plug and a 3-pin IEC
inline jack is required (e . g . cable AAC-170 / SW
from MONACOR) . The second unit can then
be connected to the third unit etc . until all
units are connected in a chain . Thus, it is pos-
sible to connect up to 25 WASH-100RGBW .
The jack POWER OUT can also be used
to provide power to other (light effect) units .
However, to reduce the risk of short-circuit
and fire due to overload, the current in the
mains jacks (6, 7) and the mains cables must
not exceed 10 A . The fuse (8) will not protect
these jacks .
7 Operation
WARNING To prevent damage to your
eyes, never look directly into
the light source for any length
of time .
Please note that stroboscope
effects and fast changes in light-
ing may trigger epileptic seizures
with photosensitive persons or
persons with epilepsy!
To switch the unit on and off, use the POWER
switch (3) . After the unit has been switched
on, it can be operated via a DMX light con-
troller (
chapter 7 .1) or will run the show
☞
program set (
chapter 7 .2) . In addition to
☞
the operating mode, the display (2) will also
indicate the temperature inside the unit .
The unit is set by means of a menu: please
refer to chapter 7 .3 .
7.1 Operation with a
DMX controller
As soon as the unit receives a DMX signal, it
will switch to the DMX mode (start address
will be indicated on the display) . Use the
menu item

Additional functions can be set via the menu,
if required .
All DMX functions can be found in
chapter 9 .
7.2 Operation without a
DMX controller
When the unit does not receive any DMX
signal, a show program will run . For this, the
unit must have been defined as a master unit
via the menu item
Slave Mode

7.3 Using the menu
Use the buttons MENU, UP, DOWN and

The menu structure can be found on page 2 .
When no button is pressed, the menu will
be automatically exited after 10 seconds
(exception: test program
) . To exit the menu manually, keep the
Test
button MENU pressed .
Detailed information with regard to the 13
menu items of the highest menu level can be
found in the following chapters .
7.3.1
DMX Address
DMX start address
For separate control of all DMX units, each
unit requires a start address of its own . Exam-
ple: If the first DMX channel of the unit is to
be controlled by the light controller via DMX
address 17, set the start address on the unit
to 17 . The other DMX channels of the unit
will then be automatically assigned to the
subsequent addresses .
Example: In the 9-channel mode and with the start
address 17, the channels 1 to 9 will be assigned to
the addresses 17 to 25 . The address 26 will then
be the next possible start address available for the
subsequent DMX-controlled unit .
