6. How to Control the Unit
The unit can be controlled by any universal 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 “SMM-50 resetting…” on the monitor and move
the motors to it’s ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds.
After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal.
6.1 Master/Slave Preprogrammed Function
When setting the series units in master/slave connection, the first one will be recognized
as master role automatically. The master can cooperate with others linkages as salve to
display automatic, sound activated synchronized light show. It provides an instant show
without complicated setting. You have to programming the movement first. Its DMX input
jack will have nothing plugged into it, and Its master LED will be constantly on. The other
units will have to set in slave mode, Their DMX cables plugged into the DMX input jacks
(daisy chain) and the slave LED lights will constantly on.
6.2 DMX Controller
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 MENU button until DMX
Address is shown on the display. Pressing ENTER button and the display will blink. Use
DOWN and UP button to change the DMX512 address. Once the address has been
selected, press and keep ENTER button pressed until the display stops blinking or storing
automatically 8 seconds later.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 5 units.

6.3 DMX512 Configuration
13-
6.4 DMX 512 Connection
The fixture is equipped with 3-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are
wired in parallel. Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for 3-pin XLR-plugs and
connectors in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
If you are using the standard DMX controllers, you can connect the DMX output of the
controller directly with the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX-chain. If you wish to
connect DMX-controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter-cables.
At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a
120Ωresistor between Signal (－) and Signal (＋) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last fixture.

7. Troubleshooting
DANGER !!
Disconnect from the mains before starting any maintenance work
Verify the power supply settings before applying power !
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. If the unit does not work, no light output, or fan is not working
1. Check main power connection and fuse.
2. Measure mains voltage on main power connector.
3. Check power on LED.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. Check DMX connectors and cables to see if link properly.
2. If DMX LED is on but no response to DMX signal, check the DMX address setting
and DMX polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pin on connectors or on
PCB of the unit or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables. It may cause
damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
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.
15-
D. If pan belt is broken
1. Turn off main power.
2. Unscrew all screws (A) and open the base-housing cover.
3. Unplug all connect wires.
4. Unscrew the screws (C) and remove the
fixture head.
5. Change a new belt (B), put the belt around
the axis gear and motor gear.
6. Screw the screws (C), and adjust the belt
tension properly.
Note: do not fix belt too tight as it is easy to
rupture.
7. Plug all the connect wires back.
8. Screw all screws (A) and close the base-housing cover.
※ Pay attention to the belt tension when install the belt.
CAUTION！
Install the belt, Unscrew the screws (C) and remove the fixture head.

8. Maintenance and cleaning
 Internal and external must be carried out periodically to optimize machine operation.
 Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates.
 Clean with soft cloth using normal cleaning fluid.
 Always dry the parts carefully.
 Clean the external optics at least every 20 days.
