7. How to Control the Unit
7.1 DMX 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
14E

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.
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.
7.2 DMX 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 the MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Functions, press the ENTER button to
confirm, use the UP/DOWN button to select DMX Address, press the ENTER button to confirm,
the present address will blink on the display, use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from
001 to 512, and press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or
let the unit idle 7 seconds to exit menu mode.
Please refer to the following diagram to set the DMX address for the first 4 units：

8. 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 connection of power and main fuse.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors and cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on but no response check the address settings and DMX polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems check the cables on connectors.
4. Try to another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside high voltage cables that may cause
interference to DMX circuits.
C. Some units don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the master/ slave
mode signal.
2. Wrong DMX address in the unit. Set the correct address.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the unit is set into the correct mode.
2. Check the microphone to see if it is good by tapping it.
3. Make sure the fixture is not set into Blackout mode

9. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of external 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 fixture’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 30 days.
