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 “CM-120” 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 Show Mode and select show 1 or show 2 or show 3
or show 4 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 Slave 1 (normal) or Slave 2 (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, Slave 1 means the unit works normally and Slave 2 means 2-light show. In order to
create a great light show, you can set Slave 2 on the second 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 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 DMX address from 1 to 512
so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button up to when the DMX Address 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 the ENTER button to setup, to go back to the functions without any
change press the MENU button again. Hold and press the MENU button about one second or wait for
one minute to exit the menu mode.

4.5 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.
