5. How To Control The Unit
5.1 Two ways to operate the unit:
1. By master/slave
2. By DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address setting
will be affected at once. Turn on the unit, under the DMX signal , the LED will display the
saved channel address（001-512）; If without DMX signal,
The master will show SH00-SH12(Chase Mode )、STRO(Strobe Mode) or DIM (Dimming
Mode ),the slave will show SL00-SL01; If there is something wrong in the temperature
checkout console or the temperature over high/low, the LED will display TERR, and the unit
will flash (light on /light off) in a very low brightness continually. The master/slave on line can
use easy controller CA-8 to control the master to change the mode (Sound active Chase、
Chase automatically、Strobe and Dimming )
5.2 Easy controller (by CA-8)
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. By connecting to the first master
unit, you will find that the remote controller on the first unit will control all the other units for
Standby, Function and Mode selection

7. DMX512 Connections
Mode connection：
1. Connect the fixture together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the
fixture to the input of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y”
cable. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can easily
distort the signal and shut down the system
2. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit

13B
when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
3. At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal
errors. 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 fixture.
4. Each lighting fixture 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. 3 pin XLR connectors:.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
8. 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.
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.
9. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning

14B
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 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.
Fresnel lens:
Clean the lens with neutral soap and water, and then dry it with soft cloth. Be aware that
alcohol or other detergent could cause damage to lens. Please note the lens would be burnt
yellow or cracked after three-month use of average 8 hours per day, which can reduce the
output in some degree. The lens is consumable with a warranty of three months only. Please
change with genuinely new lens when necessary.
