Introduction

Changes of color in the fibre optic strands boost the user’s attention and focus. Contact with the optical fibres helps us to perceive different parts of our body.

Ideal for learning cause and effect, recognizing colors and activities that encourage communication. Thanks to LED technology, the fibre optics shine brightly through the strand in a broad range of bright colors.

SHX Lightsource

DMX Cable (6m)

Power supply

  • A 230V socket must be provided for the power supply of the device.
  • A DMX connection must be provided for lighting control (female DMX connector).
  • In case of need to control more lighting elements, a second DMX connection must be provided to ensure continuity to the signal (male DMX connector).

In order to fic the light source on the floor or at the ceiling (optional):

For the assembly of the device you will need the following items (not included with the product):

  • 4x Fixing plug on the wall (6mm). Make sure that the plugs are suitable for the mounting surface.
  • 4x screw with cylindrical head (minimum diameter 4.5mm)

Assembly:

  • Remove the screws that hold the rubber feet of the light source.
  • Fix the light source on the ceiling / wall by screwing the four holes of the perimeter of the light source (check if the surface where the product is to be fixed is safe and adequate).

Verify that the fiber bundle can be connected loosely

Assembly of the fiber bundle:

  • Insert the connector of the fiber bundle into the receptacle of the light source until it comes to a stop, once inside, fix it with the screw and the key provided for that purpose.

              

  • Feed the light source. On the one hand the feeder must be connected to the light source as shown in the figure and on the other side the feeder must be connected to the electric current.

   

 

 

Operating modes:

The light source is pre-configured to be controlled by the SHX system.

It is also possible to configure it for use in passive mode. (the fiber changes color by melting the RGB colors with a smooth and slow transition)

SHX mode:

  • For use with the SHX system, the DMX cable must be connected to the DMX IN connector

     

  • This cable must be connected to the rest of the DMX bus of the installation.
  • In the event that this element is the last of the entire installation, the bus terminator should be connected to the DMX OUT (this terminator is supplied in the SHX Central Device). If you must continue the DMX signal to another device, you must connect the DMX cable to the DMX out connector.
  • Likewise, the DMX address must be configured using the micro-switches as shown in the figure (address 192):

     

Pasive mode

  • For use in passive mode the DMX micro-switches must be configured as follows: 261

    

Before start using the device
Check the following points:

  • The device must be connected to a wall plug.
  • The DMX cable must be connected to the device.
  • The SHX Central device must be switched on.

Use of the product

  • In the SHX software you can control the lights of the device.
  • In the SHX app, you will also find a tab that allows you to change the colors of the device: you can choose between different colors or activate the function of automatic color changes.

  • In the SHX application there’s a power off button, you can turn off the device with it.
  • You can configure the different contents of the SHX application as well, to create the effects you want to associate with that content. See the manual of the SHX application to learn how to create these contents, (automatic mode, according to the SHX scenes, by sound, simultaneous with the other elements or independent)

The control of this device has been added to the SHX application.
The configuration parameters for this device are:

Lighting control:

  • DMX address: 192

In the SHX application it has been created within the DMX devices with the following configuration:

  • Disconnect the device from the electrical power before cleaning
  • Use a soft cloth moistened in soapy water to clean the product.
  • Do not use abrasive products.
  • Dry the product before connecting it to the current
  • Do not connect the device if liquid has entered inside
  • Don’t cover the ventilation of the lightsource, and keep them clean to avoid overheating

Fibre maintenance:

  • It is recommended a periodic inspection of the fibers to detect breaks in the fiber strips, in that case, the complete mallet should be replaced.
  • The fibers must be cleaned on a regular basis
  • DO NOT immerse the fibers in water or another liquid.
  • For cleaning, the fiber bundle must be separated from the light source by loosening the fixing screw.
  • Clean the fibers using soapy water and a soft cloth.
  • Clean from the fiber connector towards the end with a smooth movement from top to bottom.
  • Thoroughly dry the fibers and do not reconnect in the light source until after one hour.
  • For a basic troubleshooting of DMX devices follow the next steps:

  • When a DMX device is affecting the well functioning of other devices on the DMX bus, follow the next steps to identify wheater if a device is faulty or the issue is related to the cable used to connect all the devices.
