Warning
♦To prevent or reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose the unit to rain
or moisture.
♦Do not start on the unit when housing are damaged.
♦The housing must be replaced if they are visibly damaged.
♦Do not look directly at the light while the bulb is on.
Caution
There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the housing or attempt
to any repair yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require service please contact
your nearest dealer.
Installation
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the
unit is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. And make sure that
the structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a
weight of 10 times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can hold 12
times of the weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a place where is
out of the touch of people and has no one pass by or under it.

3. Main Function
1. Mains input：IEC socket and integrated fuse holder, connect to main power cable.
2. DMX OUT：Transmit DMX signal by 3-Pin XLR female socket.
3. DMX IN：Receive DMX signal by 3-Pin XLR male socket.
4. Remote controller input：Connecting with 1/4” microphone jack to control the
scene for Stand by, Function, and Mode function
selections.
5. Microphone：Receive audio signal for sound activated.
6. Sensitivity：Adjust the sound-input sensitivity.
7. Dip switches：Dip 10 for Master/Slave setting such as Dip 10 ON is MASTER mode
and Dip 10 OFF is SLAVE mode. Dips 1-9 are used to set DMX
address of the unit.

4. How To Control The Unit
Three ways to operations:
A. Master/Slave operation
B. Easy controller
C. Universal DMX controller
A. By Master/slave Built-in Preprogrammed Function
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control the others to
give a coordinate automatic light show and it’s good for instant shows. In this mode, the
first unit（Master）must be turn Dip switch 10 on. The first unit is easy to recognize by
nothing in its DMX input jack. The others of chains (Slaves) will have DMX cables
plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain). Please refer to the diagram on setting
the Dip switches.
Slave 1 : dip / on : #1 ( 1 )
Slave 2 : dip / on : #1, #3 ( 1 + 4 =5 )
Slave 3 : dip / on : #1, #4 ( 1 + 8 = 9 )
Slave 4 : dip / on : #1, #3, #4 (1 + 4 + 8 =13)
B. By Easy Controller(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 control on the first unit will
control all the other units for Stand by, Function and Mode programs.

C. By universal DMX controller
When using a universal DMX controller to control the chain of units, you have to set
DMX address by Dip switches from 1 to 9 to make sure all the units will receive its DMX
signal. Please refer to the following diagram to know how to address your DMX 512
system in the binary code.

5. DMX 512 Configuration
6. DMX 512 Connection
The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lightings and with a maximum of 512
channels.

LED-CTL6
 9-
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin
adapter-cable.
2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. 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 unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a ‘daisy chain’ by XLR plug from the output of the unit
to the input of the next unit. The cable can not be branched or split to a ‘Y’ cable.
DMX512 is a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, solder joints
or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX
circuit, when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
5. Each lighting unit 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).
6. The end of the DMX512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin 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 (+)
Pin 4/5 Not used
7. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors 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 unit’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.
