OPERATION INSTRUCTIONS
- The FOS IQ Par lp65 is for beam effect for on-site decoration purposes.
- Don’t turn on the fixture if it’s been through severe temperature differences like after transportation because it might damage the light due to the environmental changes. So make sure to operate the fixture until it is in normal temperature.
- This light should be kept away from strong shaking during any transportation or movement.
- Don’t pull up the light by only the head, or it might cause damage to the mechanical parts.
- Don’t expose the fixture in overheat, moisture, or an environment with too much dust when installing it. And don’t lay any power cables on the floor. Or it might cause electronic shock to the people.
- Make sure the installation place is in good safe condition before installing the fixture.
- Make sure to put the safety chain and check whether the screws are screwed properly when installing the fixture.
- Make sure the lens are in good condition. It’s recommended to replace the units if there are any damages or severe scratches. Make sure the fixture is operated by qualified personnel who know the fixture before using it.
- Keep the original packages if any second shipment is needed. Don’t try to change the fixtures without any instruction from the manufacturer or the appointed
INSTALLATIONS
Cautions:
- For added protection mount the fixtures in areas outside walking paths, seating areas, or in areas were the fixture might be reached by unauthorized personnel.
- Before mounting the fixture to any surface, make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10 times the device’s weight.
- Fixture installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, such as an appropriate safety cable.
- Never stand directly below the device when mounting, removing, or servicing the fixture. from a ceiling, or set on a flat level surface (see illustration below). Be sure this fixture is kept at least 0.5m (1.5 ft) away from any flammable materials (decoration etc.).
Always use and install the supplied safety cable as a safety measure to prevent accidental damage and/or injury in the event the clamp fails.
Mounting points:
Overhead mounting requires extensive experience, including amongst others calculating working load limits, a fine knowledge of the installation material being used, and periodic safety inspection of all installation material and the fixture. If you lack these qualifications, do not attempt the installation yourself. Improper installation can result in bodily injury. Be sure to complete all rigging and installation procedures before connecting the main power cord to the appropriate wall outlet.
Clamp Mounting:
FOS IQ Par lp65 provides a unique mounting bracket assembly that integrates the bottom of the base, and the safety cable rigging point in one unit (see the illustration below). When mounting this fixture to the truss be sure to secure an appropriately rated clamp to the included omega bracket using a M 1 O screw fitted through the center hole of the “Hanging Kit”. As an added safety measure be sure to attach at least one properly rated safety cable to the fixture using one of the safety cable rigging point integrated in the base assembly.
CONTROL CONNECTION
- Connect the provided XLR cable to the female 3-pin XLR output of your controller and the other side to the male 3-pin XLR input of the moving head. You can chain multiple Moving head together through serial linking. The cable needed should be two core, screened cable with XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the diagram below. DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator.
- For installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance or is in an electrically noisy environment, such as in a discotheque, it is recommended to use a DMX terminator. This helps in preventing corruption of the digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a3 resistor connected between pins 2 and 3,which is then plugged into the output XLR socket of the last fixture in the chain. Please see illustrations below.

Maintenance and cleaning
It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean and that dust, dirt, and smoke-fluid residues must not build upon or within the fixture. Otherwise, the fixture’s light output will be significantly reduced. Regular cleaning will not only ensure the maximum light output but will also allow the fixture to function reliably throughout its life. A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no circumstances should alcohol or solvents be used!
DANGER!
Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work
The front objective lens will require weekly cleaning as smoke-fluid tends to build up residues, reducing the light output very quickly. The cooling fans should be cleaned monthly.
The interior of the fixture should be cleaned at least annually using a vacuum cleaner or an air jet. Dichroic colour filters. Remove dust and dirt from the fans and cooling vents using a soft brush and vacuum cleaner.
Important! Check the air filters periodically and clean them before they become clogged!
Clean two air filters placed in the fixture’s covers and two in the fixture base. Use a vacuum cleaner or compressed air or you can wash them and put them back dry.
After replacing the air filters, reset the elapsed time counter in the menu “Information” (information —>Air Filters—>Elapsed Time).
Replacing the fuse. Before replacing the fuse, unplug the main lead.
- Remove the fuse holder on the rear panel of the base with a fitting screwdriver from the housing (anti-clockwise).
- Remove the old fuse from the fuse holder.
- Install the new fuse in the fuse holder (only the same type and rating).
- Replace the fuse holder in the housing and fix it.
Wireless function
- Choose the wireless DMX on the light display “SET”—>”Signal setting”—>”Wireless DMX”(ULd showed on display)
- Wireless transmitter transmits a signal, press the “UP” and “ENTER” buttons at the same time on the light display until you see the indicator flashing yellow
- The pairing signal in the transmitter would see an indicator flashing green on the light display
