4. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. Master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. Easy controller
3. Universal DMX controller
There is 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
“ ” on the display. After that the unit will be ready to receive a 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 (auto
show), (show 1) or …or (show 8). 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 slave units will have to select (normal) or (2 light show) mode,
Their DMX cables plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led lights will
constantly on.
2-light show
In slave mode, means the unit works as the master unit and or
means 2-light show. In order to create a great light show, you can set or
on the second unit to get contrast movement to each other, even if you have only two units.
4.2. Easy Controller (by CA-8)
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. By connecting
to the 1/4” microphone jack of the first unit, you will find that the remote
controller on the first unit will control all the other units in Stand by, and Mode
selection.

10B
4.3 DMX Controller
By using a universal DMX controller to control the units, you will need to set a DMX address
from 1 to 512 so that the units can receive the DMX signal.
Press the MENU button to show on the display. Press the ENTER button and the
display will blink. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to change the DMX address. Once the
address has been selected, press the ENTER button to store. To return to the main menu
without any changes press the MENU button or wait for one minute.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX channels for the first 4 units:

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” with the 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, bad solder joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system
2. The DMX output and input connectors 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-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: 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:

12B
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 linked 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 cables or PCB of the fixture or
the previous one.
4. Try another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause 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. Check the LED for the response of the
master/ slave mode signal.
2. Wrong DMX address in the fixture. Set the proper address.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the fixture is not receiving a 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.
