LEAF SPINNER: Controls & Functions Explained

Introduction:

This guide will walk you through the various controls and functions on the Leaf Spinner Light. From powering the light to using DMX or master slave mode, you’ll learn everything you need to get your light setup ready for performance. Let’s go over the essential connections and functions to ensure you get the most out of your lighting system.

Requirements:

• Leaf Spinner Light
• PowerCon Cable (included with Leaf Spinner)
• PowerCon Linking Cable (optional for linking power between units)
• AC Power Source
• DMX Controller (optional for advanced setup)

Step-by-Step Instructions:

Step 1: Power Connections

1. Locate the power ports on the back of the light. You’ll find:
   • Power In socket (blue)
   • Power Out socket (white)
2. To power the light:
   • Take the blue end of your PowerCon cable and connect it to the Power In socket (blue).
   • Make sure the grooves on the cable line up with the grooves on the socket.
3. Once the cable is in place, twist the cable to the right (so that it clicks in place) to secure it. This ensures the connection is locked and can not be yanked out.
4. Plug the other end of the PowerCon cable into a power source to turn the light on.

Step 2: Daisy-Chain Power Connection Between Lights (Optional)

1. If you want to provide power to additional lights, use the Power Out socket (white) and a PowerCon Linking cable.
2. Plug the white end of the PowerCon Linking cable into the Power Out socket (white) on the current light.
3. Connect the blue end to the Power In socket (blue) on the next light in the chain.
4. This allows you to power multiple lights through one AC power source.

Step 3: DMX and Master/Slave Setup (Optional)

1. The DMX In and DMX Out ports are used to connect the light to a DMX controller or set up Master/Slave mode.
2. Use the DMX In port to receive control signals from your DMX controller or another light.
3. Use the DMX Out port to send signals to another light (if you’re setting up multiple lights with a DMX controller or in Master/Slave mode).
4. We’ll cover exactly how to configure DMX and Master/Slave mode in our other Leaf Spinner support articles.

Troubleshooting & FAQs:

• Q: Why isn’t my light powering on?
  • A: Double-check that the PowerCon cable is properly connected and twisted into place. Ensure that the other end is plugged into a working power source.
• Q: Can I connect more than one light to the same power source?
  • A: Yes, you can daisy chain multiple lights using the Power Out socket, as long as the total power demand is within the capacity of your power source.
• Q: How do I connect my light to a DMX controller?
  • A: Connect the DMX Out port on your first light to the DMX In port on your DMX controller. If you want to connect more lights, use the DMX Out port on the first light to link to the next one.

Conclusion:

You now know how to power on your Leaf Spinner Light, daisy chain multiple lights, and connect the light to a DMX controller for advanced control. With these functions, you can easily integrate the Leaf Spinner Light into your lighting setup. For more advanced configuration, stay tuned for the next section on DMX and master slave mode setup.
