STEP 1: CONNECT MAIN POWER

YOUR BRIK-LED SYSTEM OPERATES FROM 120 (115) OR 220 (230) VAC SUPPLY.

YOU WILL NEED TO PROVIDE AN OUTLET WITH THE APPROPRIATE PLUG.

FOLLOW THESE STEPS:

1. LOCATE THE POWER SOURCE 2. MAKE SURE THERE IS POWER AND MEASURE THE VOLTAGE 3. THE INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY WILL AUTOMATICALLY DETECT AND ADJUST FOR THE PROPER VOLTAGE

IF YOUR SYSTEM HAS A POWER SUPPLY WITH AN INPUT VOLTAGE SELECTOR, MAKE SURE IT IS SET TO

THE PROPER VOLTAGE.

4. MAKE SURE THE INTERNAL POWER SWITCH IS SET TO OFF (0) DO NOT TURN THIS SWITCH ON (I) YET. WAIT UNTIL THE STROBES ARE CONNECTED.

5. PLUG YOUR BRIK TO THE POWER SOURCE 6. THE GREEN POWER INDICATOR ON THE INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY WILL ILLUMINATE

STEP 2: CONNECT STROBES

STROBES NEED TO BE CONNECTED INSIDE THE BRIK CONTROLLER AS WELL AS IN THE FIELD AT THE PLACE WHERE THE STROBES

ARE MOUNTED.

TO CONNECT STROBES, YOU WILL NEED: WIRE CUTTERS, WIRE STRIPPERS AND A SMALL FLAT HEAD SCREW DRIVER (1/8” [3

MM] WIDE OR SMALLER)

Connecting Strobe Bulbs: Refer to the following photos showing a field connected strobe.

1. SEPARATE THE CONNECTOR PIECES AND FEED THE CABLE AS INDICATED 2. STRIP THE CABLE JACKET LEAVING APPROXIMATELY 1/2” OF WIRE EXPOSED 3. STRIP THE ENDS OF THE WIRES APPROXIMATELY 1/4” 4. INSERT THE RED WIRE (POSITIVE) INTO PIN-1 AND TIGHTEN THE SCREW. 5. INSERT THE BLACK WIRE (NEGATIVE) INTO PIN-2 AND TIGHTEN THE SCREW. 6. RE-ASSEMBLE THE CONNECTOR

Connecting cables inside LED BRIK: Refer to the following photos showing internal connections.

CAUTION: the spring loaded terminals are fragile. Do not push sideways. Do not push them farther than they will reach

1. Feed all field cables through the cable glands 2. Strip the cable jacket leaving approximately 6” of wire exposed. If desired use shrink tubing to dress the cable. 3. Strip the ends of the wires approximately 1/4”. If desired use insulated wire ferrules on each wire. 4. Apply soft pressure on the orange spring clip to open the terminal. Insert the red wire (positive) into the + terminal. 5. Apply soft pressure on the orange spring clip to open the terminal. Insert the black wire (negative) into the - terminal. 6. Repeat these steps for the rest of the strobe cables

STEP 3: INTERNAL TEST

Before walking away, it is important to test the connections. The controller offers an internal test feature to help you make sure

all the strobes work properly.

This test is referred to as 00 Test and it causes all the strobes to flash in sequence.

00 Test:

1. Connect the BRIK to building power 2. Remove the TST jumper as shown in the photo below 3. Set the DMX Address switch to 00 4. Turn the power switch to ON (I) 5. The LED Strobes will cycle in sequence. Go outside and make sure that all the LEDs are flashing.

STEP 4: OPERATION

Stand-Alone: When using your LED BRIK in stand-alone mode (which means it is not connected to a DMX source or other LED

BRIKs), you need to set the system to Stand-Alone Mode. In this mode, the LED Strobes will flash in Random Mode at about 1

second frequency. NOTE: No other features are available in Random Mode. You cannot change the frequency or the order.

1. Connect the BRIK to building power 2. Install the TST jumper as shown in the photo below 3. Set the DMX Address switch to 01 (any value other than 00 will work) 4. Turn the power switch to ON (I) 5. The LED Strobes will flash in random sequence. Go outside and make sure that all the LEDs are flashing.

STEP 5: DMX OPERATION

When using your LED BRIK in DMX Mode (which means it is connected to a DMX source or to other LED BRIKs), you need to set

the system to DMX Mode. In this mode, the LED Strobes will be fully controllable from the lighting console or other DMX source.

NOTE: No dimming function is available with this system. Each LED Strobe will flash only once when triggered.

1. Connect the BRIK to building power 2. Remove the TST jumper as shown in the photo above 3. Set the DMX Address switch to the desired base address for the BRIK. Notice that the switch accepts HEX. Refer to the

HEX conversion table in this guide as reference.

4. Turn the power switch to ON (I) 5. To trigger an LED Strobe, simply increase the DMX value from 0 to 255.

DMX Address higher than 255:

The manual address switch is only a 2-segment switch that can be set up to and including 255. If you need to set the DMX base

address above 255 (from 256-512), the MNT jumper must be set.

Minimum Current Requirements:

BRIK-16:

1 AMP @ 120 VAC, 0.5 AMP @ 220 VAC

BRIK-32:

2 AMP @ 120 VAC, 1 AMP @ 220 VAC

Strobe Connection Diagrams:

Two cable choices are offered for connecting

your LED Strobes.

Belden-9408, 18 AWG sunlight resistant

Belden-9486, 18 AWG tray rated

Whether you purchased your cable from Birket

or you supplied your own cable, please follow

these diagrams and techniques.

Always follow proper polarity. No damage will be

caused to the LED strobe if the polarity is

accidentally reversed. The LED Strobe will simply

not work.

The use of wire ferrules inside the LED BRIK is

highly recommended but not required.

Always leave enough extra cable and wire to

make possible corrections in the future.
