Getting It Out Of The Box

Congratulations on purchasing one of the brightest, cutest little outdoor rated xtures anywhere! Now

that you’ve got your Motif Sketch™ (or hopefully, Sketch’s!), 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 immediately and keep the packing material for inspection.

Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a xture must be returned to the factory, it is

important that the xture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Powering Up!

All xtures 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 xtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the xture you

receive is suitable for your local power supply. See the label on the xture or refer to the xture’s

specications chart for more information. A xture’s listed current rating is its average current draw under

normal conditions. Check the xture 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 xture may result if the line voltage applied does not match the voltage

indicated on the voltage selector switch. All xtures must be connected to circuits with a

suitable Ground (Earthing).

3. SETUP

Fuse Replacement

With a philips head screwdriver, unscrew the fuse holder from its hous-

ing. 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 Motif Sketch™ Fixtures

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

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

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

by all the xtures on a serial data link determines the number of x-

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 xtures 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 xtures on a serial data

link is 32 xtures.

Data/DMX Cabling

To link xtures 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 specications 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 x-

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

loop, and your xture 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 rst xture’s male connec-

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

xture address is the rst one connected.

We recommend connecting the xtures in

terms of their proximity to the controller,

rather than connecting the lowest xture

number rst, and so on.

Step 3: Connect other xtures in the chain

from output to input as above. Place a DMX

terminator on the output of the nal xture

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 rst xture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the

rst xture which will have a (female) 3 pin connec-

tor to the input connector of the next xture con-

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

to connect from the output as stated above to the

input of the following xture and so on.

A quick note: Often,

the setup for Master-

Slave and Standalone

operation requires that

the rst xture in the

chain be initialized for

this purpose via either

settings in the control

panel or DIP-switches.

Secondarily, the xtures

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 conguration.

Mounting and Rigging

This xture 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

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

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

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

properly “rated” rigging is used when mounting xutres overhead.

Adjust the angle of the xture by loosening both knobs and tilting the

xture. After nding 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.

Setting the DMX Address

1.) To set the starting DMX address, push the

<S> button. You’ll see the LEDs ash 3 times in a

sequence of colors that indicate the currently set

DMX address. For example, if the DMX address is

currently 001, the ashes would be white (zero)/

white (zero)/ red(one). (See static color table)

2.) Enter a 3-digit DMX address: 001-512.

3.) Now you’ll see the LEDs ash 3 times per digit

you enter, and notably, they will ash the assigned

static color that corresponds to that digit. For

example, setting the xture to the DMX address of

010, the ashes would be white (zero)/ red (one)/

white (zero). (See static color table)

Static Colors

To use xture in static color mode, press either the

<R>, <G>, or <B> buttons, and then one of the numeric buttons (0-9). The color

table below shows the static color for each number.

Static color table

Button 5 Button 6 Button 7 Button 8 Button 9

Cyan Blue Purple Pink Yellow

DMX Mode

The Motif Sketch™ will automatically recognizes a DMX signal when connected to a

controller, and will function in 3-channel RGB color mixing mode. If the DMX signal is

lost, the xture will revert to its previously set mode.

You can use the remote control while in DMX mode to switch to any other mode.

Then to return to DMX mode, press the <D> button.

1 000 <-> 255 Red Intensity (0 <--> 100%)

2 000 <-> 255 Green Intensity (0 <--> 100%)

3 000 <-> 255 Blue Intensity (0 <--> 100%)
