Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one of the niftiest little moving lights

this side of anywhere! Now that you’ve got your Flurry (or hopefully,

Flurries), you should carefully unpack the box and check the contents

to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything

looks as if it has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immedi-

ately and keep the packing material for inspection. Again, please save

the carton and all packing materials. If a ﬁxture must be returned to

the factory, it is important that the ﬁxture be returned in the original

factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

All ﬁxtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and cannot

be run off a rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even

if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used solely for a 0% to

100% switch.

AC Voltage Switch - Not all ﬁxtures have a voltage select switch, so

please verify that the ﬁxture you receive is suitable for your local pow-

er supply. See the label on the ﬁxture or refer to the ﬁxture’s speciﬁ-

cations chart for more information. A ﬁxture’s listed current rating is

its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the ﬁxture or

device carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists

that it is set to the correct line voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit

matches the line voltage applied. Damage to your ﬁxture may

result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage

indicated on the voltage selector switch. All ﬁxtures must be

connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).

Getting A Hold Of Us

If something is wrong, just give us a call or send an email.

We’ll be happy to help, honest.

3. SETUP

Fuse Replacement

With a ﬂat head screwdriver, wedge the

fuse holder out of its housing. Remove the

damaged fuse from its holder and replace

with exact same type fuse. Insert the fuse

holder back in its place and reconnect

power.

Connecting A Bunch of Flurry™ TRI Lumieres

You will need a serial data link to run light shows using a DMX-512

controller or to run shows on two or more ﬁxtures set to sync in mas-

ter/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required

by all the ﬁxtures on a serial data link determines the number of ﬁx-

tures the data link can support.

Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.

Also, connecting more than 32 ﬁxtures on one serial data link without

the use of a DMX optically-isolated splitter may result in deterioration

of the digital DMX signal.

The maximum recommended cable-run distance is 500 meters (1640

ft). The maximum recommended number of ﬁxtures on a serial data

link is 32 ﬁxtures.

Data/DMX Cabling

To link ﬁxtures together you’ll need data cables. You should use data-

grade cables that can carry a high quality signal and are less prone to

electromagnetic interference.

For instance, Belden© 9841 meets the speciﬁcations for EIA RS-485

applications. Standard microphone cables will “probably” be OK, but

note that they cannot transmit DMX data as reliably over long distanc-

es. In any event, the cable should have the following characteristics:

2-conductor twisted pair plus a shield

Maximum capacitance between conductors – 30 pF/ft.

Maximum capacitance between conductor & shield – 55 pF/ft.

Maximum resistance of 20 ohms / 1000 ft.

Nominal impedance 100 – 140 ohms

Page 8

Cable Connectors

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR

connector on the other end. (Duh!)

CAUTION: Do not allow contact between the common and the ﬁx-

ture’s chassis ground. Grounding the common can cause a ground

loop, and your ﬁxture may perform erratically. Test cables with an

ohm meter to verify correct polarity and to make sure the pins are not

grounded or shorted to the shield or each other.

3-Pin??? 5-Pin??? Huh?!?

If you use a controller with a 5 pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a 5 pin to 3 pin adapter.

They are widely available over the internet and from specialty retailers If you’d like to build your own, the

chart below details a proper cable conversion:

Conductor 3-Pin Female

(Output) 5-Pin Male

(Input)

Ground/Shield Pin 1 Pin 1

DMX Data (-) Pin 2 Pin 2

DMX Data (+) Pin 3 Pin 3

Not Used. No Connection. No Connection.

Take It To The Next Level: Setting Up DMX Control

Step 1: Connect the male connector of the

DMX cable to the female connector (output)

on the controller.

Step 2: Connect the female connector of the

DMX cable to the ﬁrst ﬁxture’s male connec-

tor (input). Note: It doesn’t matter which

ﬁxture address is the ﬁrst one connected.

We recommend connecting the ﬁxtures in

terms of their proximity to the controller,

rather than connecting the lowest ﬁxture

number ﬁrst, and so on.

Step 3: Connect other ﬁxtures in the chain

from output to input as above. Place a DMX

terminator on the output of the ﬁnal ﬁxture

to ensure best communication.

Page 9

Fixture Linking (Master/Slave Mode)

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the

DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector of

the ﬁrst ﬁxture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the

ﬁrst ﬁxture which will have a (female) 3 pin connec-

tor to the input connector of the next ﬁxture con-

sisting of a (male) 3 pin connector. Then, proceed

to connect from the output as stated above to the

input of the following ﬁxture and so on.

A quick note: Often,

the setup for Master-

Slave and Standalone

operation requires that

the ﬁrst ﬁxture in the

chain be initialized for

this purpose via either

settings in the control

panel or DIP-switches.

Secondarily, the ﬁxtures

that follow may also re-

quire a slave setting.

Check the “Operating Adjustments” section in this manual for com-

plete instructions for this type of setup and conﬁguration.

Mounting & Rigging

This ﬁxture may be mounted in any SAFE position provided there is

enough room for ventilation.

It is important never to obstruct the fan or vents pathway. Mount the

ﬁxture using a suitable “C” or “O” type clamp. The clamp should be

rated to hold at least 10x the ﬁxture’s weight to ensure structural sta-

bility. Do not mount to surfaces with unknown strength, and ensure

properly “rated” rigging is used when mounting ﬁxutres overhead.

Adjust the angle of the ﬁxture by loosening both knobs and tilting the

ﬁxture. After ﬁnding the desired position, retighten both knobs.

• When selecting installation location, take into consideration lamp

replacement access (if applicable) and routine maintenance.

• Safety cables MUST ALWAYS be used.

• Never mount in places where the ﬁxture will be exposed to rain,

high humidity, extreme temperature changes or restricted ventilation.

4. OPERATING ADJUSTMENTS

The Control Panel

All the goodies and different modes possible with the Flurry™ TRI are

accessed by using the control panel on the front of the ﬁxture. There

are 4 control buttons below the LED display which allow you to navi-

gate through the various control panel menus.

Is used to initially access the control panel system, and also navigate

to the previous higher-level menu item.

<UP>

Scrolls through menu items and numbers in ascending order.

<DOWN>

Scrolls through menu items and numbers in descending order.

<ENTER>

Is used to select and conﬁrm/store the current selection.

The Control Panel LED Display shows the menu items you select from

the menu map on page #11. When a menu function is selected, the

display will show immediately the ﬁrst available option for the selected

menu function. To select a menu item, press <ENTER>.

Press the <MODE/ESC> button repeatedly until you reach the desired

menu function. Use the <UP> and <DOWN> buttons to navigate the

menu options. Press the <ENTER> button to select the menu function

currently displayed, or to enable a menu option. To return to the previ-

ous option or menu without changing the value, press the

<MODE/ESC> button.
