3. SETUP

AC Power This fixture runs on 12 VDC, 500 mA. Before powering on the unit, make sure the power supply

voltage to which you are connecting it is correct.

Always connect the fixture to a switched circuit. Never connect the fixture to a rheostat

(variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer channel is used only as a 0

to 100% switch.

To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed to the back plate of

the fixture or refer to the fixture’s specifications chart. A fixture’s listed current rating indicates its

average current draw under normal conditions.

Mounting

Orientation

The Obey™3may be mounted in any safe position, provided there is adequate room for

ventilation.

Installation

Please see the drawing below, which shows the back of the controller. It details the

dimensions for mounting. This will aid in placing the holes for installation.

This controller has preset color chases, which will change between one color and another. There are

several color combinations to choose from. Please see the instructions below for this operation.

1. Press <CHASES> until the appropriate LED indicator lights.

2. Adjust the Fade/Speed/Strobe/Green Fader to the desired level to set the Fade Time.

3. Adjust the Master Dimmer/Blue Fader to the desired level.

4. Using the Chases/Macro/Red Fader, select one of the color combinations.

5. The Fade time and dimming may now be readjusted.

There are several preset color combinations that may be discovered by moving the

Chases/Macro/Red Fader through the full range of movement.

Please be sure that the Strobe, Blackout, and Manual RGB functions are not overriding the controls.

Sound will function in Preset Mode.

Macro Operation

This controller has preset color macros. This is a static color selection, meaning that no chasing,

movement, or color flows of any kind will occur. There are several color macros to choose from,

which may be accessed using the Chases/Macros Fader. Please see the instructions below for this

operation.

1. Press <MACRO> until the appropriate LED indicator lights.

2. Adjust the Fade/Speed/Strobe/Green Fader to the desired level.

3. Adjust the Master Dimmer/Blue Fader to the desired level.

Operating Functions

Strobe

This controller has multiple functions for the 3 faders. One of the functions for the middle fader

(Fade/Speed/Strobe/Green) is the strobe function. Please see the instructions below for this

operation.

1. Press <STROBE> until the appropriate LED indicator lights.

2. Adjust the fader to the desired level.

3. In order to return to the desired mode, press <STROBE> until the appropriate LED indicator is

off.

This function may be activated while operating in any other mode (preset, chases, macro).

In order to deactivate this function, the mode must be entered, and the fader must be set to 0.1M

(fully down). Then, deactivate <STROBE>.

Blackout

This controller has a dedicated blackout button. This button works in conjunction with the

Fade/Speed/Strobe/Green fader. Please see the instructions below for this operation.

1. Adjust the Fade/Speed/Strobe/Green fader to the desired value to determine how quickly the

lights will fade out.

2. Press <BLACKOUT> until the appropriate LED indicator lights.

The blackout function will also work with the Fade/Speed/Strobe/Green fader when disabling the

blackout.

The blackout function will not work when the controller is in manual RGB mode.

5. APPENDIX

DMX Primer

There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture

capable of receiving DMX will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must assign

a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller. There are

many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of

channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should never

overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is set

incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting

address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the

fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same.

DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is

where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which

the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to

each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures

using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The

shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

General Maintenance

To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, fixtures should be cleaned frequently. Usage

and environment are contributing factors in determining frequency. As a general rule, fixtures should

be cleaned at least twice a month. Dust build up reduces light output performance and can cause

overheating. This can lead to reduced lamp life and increased mechanical wear. Be sure to power off

fixture before conducting maintenance.

Unplug fixture from power.

Use a vacuum or air compressor and a soft brush to remove dust collected on external

vents.

Clean all glass when the fixture is cold with a mild solution of glass cleaner or Isopropyl

Alcohol and a soft lint free cotton cloth or lens tissue.

Apply solution to the cloth or tissue and drag dirt and grime to the outside of the lens.

Gently polish optical surfaces until they are free of haze and lint.

The cleaning of external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to optimize light

output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates. Damp, smoky

or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics. Clean

with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid. Clean the external optics at least every 20 days.

Clean the fixture at least every 30/60 days.

Always dry the parts carefully after cleaning them.

Never spin a fan using compressed air.
