2 Safety Notes

The unit corresponds to all relevant directives
of the EU and is therefore marked with
WARNING The unit uses dangerous mains
voltage . Leave servicing to
skilled personnel and do not
insert anything into the air
vents! Inexpert handling may
result in electric shock .
•
Moving heads are not designed for perma-
nent operation . When the moving head is
used for a longer period, switch it off at
regular intervals .
•
The unit is suitable for indoor use only . Pro-
tect it against dripping water, splash water
and high air humidity . The admissible ambi-
ent temperature range is 0 – 40 °C .
•
Do not place any vessels filled with liquid,
e . g . drinking glasses, on the unit .
•
Immediately disconnect the mains plug
from the mains socket if
1 . the unit or the mains cable is visibly
damaged,
2 . a defect might have occurred after the
unit was dropped or suffered a similar
accident,
3 . malfunctions occur .
In any case the unit must be repaired by
skilled personnel .
•
Never pull the mains cable to disconnect
the mains plug from the mains socket, al-
ways seize the plug .
•
When transporting the unit, always seize
the two handles of the base . Never carry
the unit by its head or its rotary arm!
•
For cleaning the housing, only use a dry,
soft cloth; never use water or chemicals .
For cleaning the plastic lenses, you may
also use a mild detergent . Prior to cleaning,
disconnect the mains plug from the mains
socket .

No guarantee claims for the unit and no li-
ability for any resulting personal damage or
material damage will be accepted if the unit
is used for other purposes than originally
intended, if it is not safely mounted, if it is
not correctly connected or operated, or if
it is not repaired in an expert way .
If the unit is to be put out of oper-
ation definitively, take it to a local
recycling plant for a disposal which
.
is not harmful to the environment .
3 Applications
The moving head CUBE-630 / RGBW can be
used to create effect illumination and is de-
signed for professional applications, e . g . on
stage . The head is shaped like a cube and
equipped with six 30 W RGBW LEDs (one LED
on each side of the cube) . The cube can be
horizontally rotated by 630° (pan movement)
and vertically rotated without limitation (tilt
movement) .
The moving head is designed for control
by means of a DMX light controller (via 35
or 13 DMX channels), but may also be oper-
ated without a controller, either on its own or
in combination with multiple moving heads
CUBE-630 / RGBW (master / slave mode) .
4 Transport and
Setup / Mounting
•
To prevent heat accumulation inside the
unit, always place the unit at a location
where sufficient air circulation is ensured
during operation . Never cover the air vents
of the housing .
•
Always keep a minimum distance of 50 cm
to illuminated surfaces .
Prior to transporting or mounting the unit,
lock the rotary arm: turn the rotary arm so
that it is parallel or perpendicular to the base
and then move the locking lever (1) to the
right .
Set up the unit on a solid and even surface or
use the two brackets supplied to install the
unit upside down on a crossbar . For fasten-
ing the brackets, a metal plate (fig . 5) with

four holes (A) is available on the lower side
of the unit . The four holes provide a locking
mechanism: Insert the bolts of the brackets
into the holes and then, using force, turn the
bolts clockwise to the stop so that they en-
gage . Install the unit via the brackets to the
crossbar, using a stable mounting clamp for
each bracket .

5 Connection to a
DMX Controller
The moving head provides two 3-pole
XLR control connections (6): a DMX input
(DMX IN) and a DMX output (DMX OUT) .
To connect multiple DMX-controlled units
to a DMX controller, connect the units in a
chain (fig . 6) . For connection, special cables
for DMX signal transmission should be used
(e . g . cables of the CDMXN series from IMG
STAGELINE) . For a total cable length exceed-
ing 150 m or for controlling more than 32
units, it is generally recommended to insert
a DMX level matching amplifier (e . g . SR-
103DMX from IMG STAGELINE) .
1) Connect the DMX output of the controller
to the DMX input of the first DMX-con-
trolled unit .
2) Connect the DMX output of the first
DMX-controlled unit to the DMX input of
the second DMX-controlled unit . Connect
the output of the second unit to the input
of the third unit etc . until all DMX-con-
trolled units are connected in a chain .
3) To prevent interference in signal transmis-
sion, in case of long cables or a multitude
of units connected in series, terminate the
DMX output of the last unit in the chain
expert manner . When instal-
ling the unit at a place where
people may walk or sit under
it, additionally secure the unit:
Guide a safety rope through
two of the holes [(B) in fig . 5]
and then fasten it, making
sure that the maximum falling
distance of the unit will not
exceed 20 cm .
