4. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. Master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. Universal DMX controller
You do not need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, the new DMX address
setting will take effect immediately. Power the unit on, 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.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the other units to give an
automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good when you want an
instant show. You have to set the first unit in master mode and select (show 1),
(Show 2), (Show 3), (show 4) or （show 5）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 (normal) or
(2 light show) mode. Their DMX cables plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the
slave LED lights will be constantly on.
2-light show
In slave mode, means the unit works normally and means 2-light show. In order to
create a great light show, you can set on the second unit to get contrast movement to each
other, even if you have two units only.
4.2 DMX Controller
Using a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to 512
channel so that the units can receive DMX signal.
11B

Press the MENU button up to when the is showing on the display. Press the ENTER button
and the display will blink. Use the DOWN and UP button to change the DMX512 address. Once the
address has been selected, press and keep the ENTER button pressed up to when the display stops
blinking or storing automatically 7 seconds later. To go back to the functions without any change
press the MENU button again.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.

6. DMX Connection
Unit 1 Unit 2 Unit 3 Unit 4
14B

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 from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable can not 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
power is disconnected to the unit.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent 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 pin 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 (+)
Pin 4/5: Not used.
7. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The fixture does not work, no light
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
15B

B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link 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
fixture or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may cause
damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some fixtures don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling.
2. Check the LED for the response of the master/ slave mode signal.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the fixture does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone.
E. 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.
8. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency
depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: moist, smoky or particularly dirty
surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 30 days.
