4. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. By DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address setting will be
effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show “MP90” on the display and move all
the motors to their ‘home’ position. 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.
2-light show
In slave mode, Slave1 or Slave 2 means 2-light show. In order to create a great light show, you can
set Slave1 or Slave 2 on the second unit to get contrast movement to each other, even if you have
two units only.
4.2 DMX Controller
Use 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.
Press the MENU button up to when is showing on the display. Pressing ENTER button and
the display will blink. Use DOWN and UP button to change the DMX512 address. Once the address
10A

has been selected, press and keep ENTER button pressed up to when the display stops blinking or
storing automatically one minute later. To go back to the functions without any change press the
MENU button again. If you use please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512
channel for the first 4 units.

5. DMX512 Configuration
Mode 4&5；
Mode 7:
12A

6. DMX512 Connections
The DMX512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.
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 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-o h m 1/4 W r e s istor 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 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 (+),
Pin4/5: 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.
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.
1. Wrong DMX address in the fixture. Set the proper address.
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.
8. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal 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 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every 30/60
days.
