This manual provides instructions for the beamZ Tiger 18R MKII moving head. Key operations include proper rigging, DMX configuration, and routine maintenance.
Safety Instructions
Always read the manual before use. Ensure the unit is installed in a well-ventilated area with at least 50cm of free space. Never look directly into the light beam. Repairs must be performed by a qualified technician.
Installation and Rigging
The unit can be set on a stable surface or mounted to a truss. Use certified clamps and omega brackets. For mounting heights over 100cm, a safety cable is mandatory.
DMX512 and RDM Control
Connect the DMX controller to the first unit and daisy-chain subsequent units. The last unit in the chain must be terminated with a 120 Ohm resistor.
Transport Security
The unit features Pan/Tilt locks to prevent damage during transport. These must be unlocked before operation.
Gobo Replacement
Turn off and cool the unit before replacing gobos. Ensure replacement gobos match the standard size (24.8mm OD, 21mm ID).
Cleaning and Maintenance
Regularly clean the unit to prevent dust buildup, which affects cooling and light output. Use a dry cloth or low-pressure compressed air. Do not use solvents.
Troubleshooting
If the unit does not respond, check power, cables, and the fuse. If the light cuts out, ensure proper ventilation and cooling.
