be affect at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show “LED MB200R” on the display and
move all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds.
After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.

show 12 mode. Its DMX input jack will have nothing plugged into it, and Its master LED will be
constantly on and sound LED will flash to the music. The other units will have to set in slave mode
and select Slave 1 (normal) or Slave 2 (2 light show) mode, Their DMX cables plugged into the
DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led lights will constantly on.
2-light show
In slave mode, Slave 1 means the unit works normally and Slave 2 means 2-light show. In order to
create a great light show, you can set Slave 2 on the second unit to get contrast movement to each
other, even if you have two units only.
4.2 DMX Controller
By using a universal DMX controller to control the units, you will need to set DMX address from 1
to 512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button up to when the DMX Address is showing on the display. Pressing the

4.4 DMX512 Connection
1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-o h m 1/4 W
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 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.
