User Manual for Audibax Joliet 100FC Zoom Stage Light

Quick guide from the manual

The Audibax Joliet 100FC Zoom is a professional stage lighting fixture. Before initial use, inspect the unit for transport damage. Ensure the ambient temperature is between -5°C and +45°C. This device is for indoor use only (IP20 rating). Always disconnect from the mains before cleaning or maintenance. The fixture supports RDM and DMX-512 control protocols.

Safety instructions

• Electrical Safety: Ensure the device is connected to the proper voltage (100-240V AC). Always ground the fixture. Unplug before opening the housing.
• Thermal Safety: The housing can become hot during operation. Allow at least 10 minutes for the unit to cool down before handling.
• Operational Safety: Avoid looking directly into the light source. Wear protective equipment when working near the fixture.

Installation

The fixture can be mounted on a flat surface or clamped to a truss. Ensure the mounting structure can support at least 10 times the weight of the equipment.

• Surface Mounting: Fasten securely to a hard, fixed surface.
• Truss Mounting: Use a rigging clamp (M10, grade 8.8 steel minimum) and a safety cable. When hanging vertically, an open-type clamp (G-clamp) may be used; for other orientations, use a half-coupler clamp that encircles the truss chord.
• Safety Cable: Always secure the fixture with a safety cable looped through the eyebolt on the back of the unit and around a secure anchoring point.

Operation

The fixture can operate in standalone or master/slave configurations. Use the control menu on the base of the device to set the DMX address and channel mode.

• DMX-512 Connection: Connect the DMX output of the controller to the DMX input of the first fixture. Use a DMX terminator (120 Ohm resistor between pins 2 and 3) at the last fixture in the chain to prevent signal corruption.
• Power Linking: You can link up to 8 units using the PowerCON in/out sockets.
• RDM Control: The device supports RDM for remote configuration and status monitoring.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Periodically clean internal and external optical lenses and mirrors to optimize light output. Use a soft, lint-free cloth with a weak detergent solution. Do not rub glass surfaces hard.
• Fuse Replacement: If the fixture does not work, check the fuse located in the holder next to the MAINS OUT socket. Disconnect power, unscrew the cap, and replace with a fuse of the same size and rating.

Troubleshooting

If the fixture does not work or produces no light, check the following:

• Verify the power connection and main fuse.
• Ensure the external fuse has not blown.
• Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
