Unpacking Instructions

Immediately upon receiving this product, carefully unpack the carton and check the contents to ensure

that all parts are present, and have been received in good condition. Notify the dealer immediately and

retain packing material for inspection if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself

shows signs of mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be

returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory box and packing.

Your shipment includes:

• Showtec Cyclone 4 including hanging bracket

• IEC powercable 1,5m

•User manual

LED Expected Lifespan

LEDs gradually decline in brightness over time. HEAT is the dominant factor that leads to the acceleration

of this decline. Packaged in clusters, LEDs exhibit higher operating temperatures than in ideal or singular

optimum conditions. For this reason when all color LEDs are used at their fullest intensity, life of the LEDs is

significantly reduced. It is estimated that a viable lifespan of 40,000 to 50,000 hours will be achieved

under normal operational conditions. If improving on this lifespan expectancy is of a higher priority, place

care in providing for lower operational temperatures. This may include climatic-environmental and the

reduction of overall projection intensity.

Set Up and Operation

Before plugging the unit in, always make sure that the power supply matches the product specification

voltage. Do not attempt to operate a 120V specification product on 230V power, or vice versa.

Remove all packing materials from the Cyclone 4. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing.

Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty.

Control Modes

There are 4 modes: • Auto Run Programs

• Sound-controlled

• Master/Slave

• DMX512

One Cyclone (Auto Run Programs)

1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.

3. When the Cyclone is not connected by a DMX-cable, it functions as a stand-alone device.

Please see page 12 for more information about the Auto Run Programs.

One Cyclone (Sound-control)

1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.

3. Turn on the music. If device is set to (Audio) and you have pressed enter, then the fixture

will react to the beat of the music. Please see page 12 for more information about the Sound-control

options.

Multiple Cyclones (Master/Slave control)

1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.

3. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Cyclone.

The pins: 1. Earth

2. Signal -

3. Signal +

4. Link the units as shown in (Fig. 2), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to

the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units. You can

use the same functions on the master device as described on page 12 (Auto Run or Music control).

This means on the master device you can set your desired operation Mode and all slave devices will

react the same as the master device.

Multiple Cyclones (Master/Slave control)

Fig. 2

Multiple Cyclones (DMX Control)

1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.

3. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Cyclone and other devices.

4. Link the units as shown in (figure 3), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket

to the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.

5. Supply electric power: Plug electric mains power cords into each unit's IEC socket, then plug the

other end of the mains power cord into proper electric power supply sockets, starting with the first

unit. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly.
