Installation

Installing the Lamp

The Showtec MiniMax uses the ELC 250 (ordercode 82401 / 80809G / 80809O / 80809P / 80814 / 80821)

reflectorbulb as manufactured by all popular manufacturers. Use only the appropriate lamp for your unit.

Note that, product versions that use other lamps, may be offered in the future. Check your product

specification label for information.

Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before changing lamps.

The lamp has to be replaced when it is damaged or deformed due to the heat.

Do not install lamps with a higher wattage! Lamps with a higher wattage generate temperatures the

device was not designed for.

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

Procedure :

1. Loosen the 2 screws on the back of the housing.

2. Gently remove the small metal housing.

3. Read lamp instructions. Do not touch the lamp bulb glass.

Oil on hands shortens the lamp life. (If you touch the bulb glass, wipe off the glass with a clean, lint-free

towel and rubbing alcohol.).

4. Insert the lamp pins into the small holes in the lamp socket.

5. Put the lamp cover back and fasten the screws snugly. Then put the metal housing back and fasten the

screws snugly

Set Up and Operation

Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.

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.

One MiniMax

1. Fasten the moving head onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp fastened onto the

MiniMax ). Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Plug one end of the electric mains power cord into the IEC socket on the unit.

Then plug the other end of the cord into a proper electric power supply socket.

3. Turn on the music. Go to MODE and set M-SO (Audio), then the fixture will react to the beat of the music.

Multiple MiniMax’s

1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing (Use a 30-kg rated or stronger C-clamp fastened onto the

MiniMax ). Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation.

2. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the MiniMax’s and other devices.

The pins:

1. Earth

2. Signal -

3. Signal +

3. Link the units as shown in (figure 4), 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.

4. 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.

5) On the first device, go to MODE and set M-SO (Sound-controlled Master). Remember only one fixture

can be the master.

6) On the slave devices you must select M-SL (Sound-controlled Slave). The DMX light on the slave devices

will start blinking. The slave devices must have address 001.
