Leave the device switched off until it has reached room temperature.

Power Supply

On the label on the backside of the product is indicated that this type of power supply must be connected.

• Check that the mains voltage corresponds to this; if all other voltages are not specified, the light effect can be irreparably damaged.
• The product must also be directly connected to the mains and may be used.
• No dimmer or adjustable power supply.
• Always connect the device to a protected circuit (circuit breaker or fuse).
• Make sure the device has an appropriate electrical ground to avoid the risk of electrocution or fire.

Installation

Please consider the respective national norms during the installation! The installation must only be carried out by an authorised employee or a dealer

• The installation of the product has to be built and constructed in a way that it can hold 10 times its weight for 1 hour without any harmful deformation.
• The installation must always be secured with a secondary safety attachment, e.g., an appropriate catch net. This secondary safety attachment must be constructed in a way that no part of the installation can fall if the main attachment fails.
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging, and servicing.

Display

• The control board offers several features: you can simply set the starting address, run the pre-programmed program, or reset.
• The main menu is accessed by pressing the Mod button, and browsing through the submenu by pressing Up or Down.
• Press the Enter key to select the desired menu.
• You can change the selection by pressing Up or Down.
• Confirm every selection by pressing the Enter key.
• You can leave every mode by pressing the Mode button.
• The functions provided are described later in this manual.

DMX-512 Connection

• If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
• If you use a controller with a 5 5-pin DMX connection, you will need to use a 5-pin to 3-pin adapter. At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120-ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.

• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.
• Housings, fixations, and installation spots( ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be free from any deformation.
• The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a small problem is detected.
• In order to protect the fixture from overheating, the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be cleaned monthly.

FAQs

Q: What is the BeamZ 150.485 PartyBar4 LED Parbar?

For parties, DJ sets, and small stage events, the BeamZ PartyBar4 is a tiny, multi-effect LED light bar.

Q: Is it safe to leave the PartyBar4 running for long periods?

Yes, the LEDs are made to last for a long time, but make sure the unit has enough ventilation. Keep the vents uncovered and away from combustible objects.

Q: Can multiple PartyBar4 units be synchronised?

Indeed, synchronised light displays can be produced by connecting several units via DMX or using sound-activated mode. To chain units together, use normal DMX cords.

Q: Can I mount the PartyBar4 on a truss?

Indeed. Standard lighting clamps can be used with the PartyBar4’s mounting brackets. To avoid mishaps, make sure clamps are snug and always tighten screws before operating.

Q: Can I connect more than 10 units?

Yes, you may use DMX to chain several devices. However, without a DMX signal repeater, the whole wire length shouldn’t be more than 300 meters. To avoid signal conflicts, make sure every unit has a distinct DMX address.

Q: How long do the LEDs last?

Under typical use, the LEDs have a rating of up to 50,000 hours. Heat, frequency of usage, and operational conditions can all affect lifespan.
