User Manual for Citronic Aqua-Bar 18x18W Waterproof LED Wall Bar

Important information from the manual

The Citronic Aqua-Bar is a waterproof LED wall wash fixture designed for outdoor use. It features 18 high-output RGBWA/UV LEDs. The unit can be operated in standalone mode using internal color sequences and performance modes, or remotely via DMX512 controllers using 6, 8, 9, or 12 channel modes. Always ensure adequate airflow around the fixture and do not aim the LED output directly into the line of sight to prevent eye injury.

Product overview

The package includes the main unit, two fixing stand/brackets with thumbscrews, a UK mains plug to waterproof socket extension lead, a DMX XLR plug to waterproof socket lead, and waterproof end caps for IEC and XLR connections.

Installation

Use the included mounting brackets to fix the unit to a stand or lighting truss. If mounting the unit overhead, you must use secondary safety fixings. Ensure the unit is placed in a location with adequate airflow and that the controls and connections remain accessible.

Rear panel controls

The rear panel features a digital display and four buttons for navigation:

• MENU: Enter the menu.
• Up (Triangle): Previous menu.
• Down (Inverted Triangle): Next menu.
• ENTER: Select the function.

DMX operation

To control the unit via DMX, connect the DMX signal source to the DMX input using the provided waterproof XLR lead. You can daisy-chain extra fixtures by looping through the DMX out. To enter DMX mode, select A001 from the menu and confirm the start address and channel mode using the navigation buttons. The 'A' on the LED display will flash once it receives a valid DMX signal.

Menu settings

The menu allows for various configurations, including:

• DMX Address: Select from 001-512.
• DMX Mode: Choose between 6, 8, 9, or 12 channel modes.
• Master/Slave: Select Transmit/Receive signal.
• Colors: Access 15 predetermined colors (0-15).
• Strobe: Adjust strobe speed (0-99).
• Performance Modes: Choose from 24 dynamic performance modes (PAR01-PAR24).
• Dimmer Curves: Options include Linear, Exponential, Logarithmic, S-Curve, and Halogen.
• System Info: Check internal temperature, usage time, and software version.

Cleaning and maintenance

Use a soft cloth with a neutral detergent to clean the screen and casing as required. Do not use strong solvents. The unit is not serviceable by the end user; refer to qualified personnel for any repairs.

Troubleshooting

If the unit fails to power on, check that the mains voltage is correct and the IEC power extension lead is connected properly. If there is no light output, check the control panel mode settings and DMX controller settings (dimmer levels, blackout). If the unit is unresponsive to DMX, ensure it is in DMX mode, the 'A' is flashing, the controller is not set to blackout, and the master dimmer value is set correctly.
