OVERHEAD RIGGING
Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.
Make sure the area below the installation place is free from
unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging and servicing.
Locate the fixture in a well ventilated spot, far away from
any flammable materials and/or liquids. The fixture must
be fixed at least 50cm from surrounding walls.
The device should be installed out of reach of people and
outside areas where persons may walk by or be seated.
Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold
a minimum point load of 10times the device's weight.
Always use a certified safety cable (number 3 on the
picture) that can hold 12 times the weight of the device
when installing the unit. This secondary safety attachment
should be installed in a way that no part of the installation
can drop more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting
is dangerous and may not be considered!
Don't cover any ventilation openings as this may result in overheating.
The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical
installations are approved by an expert before using them for the first time. The
installations should be inspected every year by a skilled person to be sure that
safety is still optimal.

DMX Address
Used to set the starting address in a DMX setup.
Press the MENU button until "DMX Address" is shown on the display.
Press the ENTER button, the display starts blinking.
Use DOWN and UP buttons to change the DMX512 address.
Once the correct address shows on the display, press the ENTER button to save it.
To go back to the main menu without any change press the MENU button shortly.
If you want to go back to normal running mode: press the MENU button for about 2 seconds.
When the unit is control by DMX, the display shows the starting address and the last address used by the
unit. It's easier to set up the address for the next unit.
For example: Address of the unit 1 = 001, channel mode= 16CH, the display will show 001-016
Channel mode
Used to set the desired channel setup mode.
Press the MENU button until "Channel mode" is shown on the display.
Press the ENTER button, the display starts blinking.
Use DOWN and UP buttons to choose 1MSL, 4MSL, 1Ch, 15Chan or 16Chan mode.
Once the desired channel setup mode shows on the display, press the ENTER button to save it.
To go back to the main menu without any change press the MENU button shortly.

Example:
The user selected the DMX Address 510 with channel mode= 1CH. Later the user wants to change
the channel mode from 1CH to 16CH, the unit won't work because, the maximum DMX address is
512, which means that the DMX controller can only control the three first channels of the unit: 510,
511 and 512.
The BT-BEAM60 doesn't allow the user to set up a DMX address that doesn't follow this rule:
DMX Address + (channel mode-1) ≤ 512
If the user doesn't follow this rule when he wants to change the channel mode, the display will show
the following message: "DECREASE DMX ADDR"
Press enter: the menu goes directly to the DMX address menu while the maximum allowable DMX-
address is shown.
Use the up and down buttons to choose the desired address. Press ENTER to confirm.
To go back to the main menu without any change press the MENU button shortly.
If you want to go back to normal running mode: press the MENU button for about 2 seconds.
Show Mode

Press the MENU button until "Show Mode" is showing on the display.
Press the ENTER button, the display starts blinking.
