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
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address setting will
be effect at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show on the display and move
all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. 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. You have to set the first unit in master mode and select (random show) or
(show 1) or… or (show 12) mode. 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 other units will
have to set in slave mode and 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 normally and means 15-light show.
In order to create a great light show, you can set on the fifteenth unit to get contrast
movement to each other, even if you have two units only.
4.2 Easy Controller
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
11A

first unit will control all the other units for Stand by, Function and Mode selection.

4.3 DMX Controller
By using a 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 the 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 has been selected, press and keep ENTER button pressed up to when the display stops
blinking or storing automatically 8 seconds later. To go back to the functions without any change
press the MENU button again.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units：

1/2 Channels Mode:
13A

10 Channels Mode:
12 Channels Mode:
14A

6. DMX512 Connection
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 branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very
high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered 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 DMX 512 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/Pin 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 unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
3. Check the power on LED.
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
unit 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.
C. Some units 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 unit. Set the proper address.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the unit does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone
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

Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of optical lenses 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.
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.
