5. Control By Universal DMX Controller
5.1 Connection
1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-ohm 1/4W
resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last unit.
2. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. DMX 512 is a very
high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can
12A

easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when one
of the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have a DMX address to receive the data by the controller. The address
number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin4, Pin5 not used.
5.2 Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to
512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Functions, press ENTER button to confirm,
use UP and DOWN button to select DMX Address, press ENTER button to confirm, the present
address will blink on the display, use UP and DOWN button to adjust the address from 1 to 512,
press ENTER button to store. Press MENU button back to the last menu or let the unit idle one
minute to exit menu mode.

6. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connect power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
3. Check the power on LED to see if it can be light up or not.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if they are linked
properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and DMX
polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the
unit or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or run alongside high voltage cables that may cause
damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
D. The lamp is cutting out intermittently
1. The lamp is not working well. Check the mains voltage either too high or too low.
2. Internal temperature may be too high. Check if replacement of fan is needed on the head.

7. Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintenance:
Ballast
A. As the pictures shown above, please replace the cable or cable joints immediately once they’ve
turned yellow.
B. Do maintain the fixtures every two months and make sure that all the screws and terminals
have been locked firmly to make sure the normal performance of the fixtures. Negligence of
maintenance would cause malfunction of the fixture.
Cleaning:
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the
fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of
dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth and use normal glass to clean fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60
days.
