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affectedatonce.Each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  means2‐lightshow.In
ordertocreateagreatlightshow,youcanset  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.
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DMX512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.

6 channels:
5.DMX512Configuration
6ChannelsMode:
6.DMX512Connection
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

11A
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1/4 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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:
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.

12A
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doesnotreceiveDMXsignal.
2. Checkmicrophonetoseeifitisgoodbytappingthemicrophone.

8.CleaningAndMaintenance
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.
yCleanwithsoftclothusingnormalglasscleaningfluid.
yAlwaysdrythepartscarefully.
yCleantheexternalopticsatleastevery20days.Cleantheinternalopticsatleastevery30/60
days.
