4. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in two ways:
1. By primary/secondary built-in preprogram function
2. By universal DMX controller
4.1 Primary/Secondary Built-in Preprogram Function
By linking the units in primary/secondary 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 select (show 1) … (show 4) for the first unit. Its
DMX input jack will have nothing plugged into. The other units will be secondary mode
automatically.
12E

4.2 Control By Universal DMX Controller
4.2.1 DMX512 Connection
1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-oh m 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 unit.
2. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit to
the input of the next unit. The cable can only be used in series and cannot be connected in parallel.
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.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when
one of the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have a DMX address to receive the data by the controller. The
address number is between 1-512.
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins 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 (+), Pin4, Pin5 not used.
13E

4.2.2 Address Setting
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to
512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button to enter menu mode, select , press the ENTER button to confirm,
the present address will blinking the display, use the UP/DOWN button to adjust the address from
001 to 512, press the ENTER button to store. Press the MENU button back to the last menu or let
the unit idle 30 seconds to exit menu mode.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.

4.2.3 DMX512 Configuration
Please control the fixture by referring to the configurations below
Attentions:
1. The unit will maintain the last condition until reset if you cut-off the DMX signal.
2. For the channel Functi on, keep the value for about 3 seconds, then the corresponding
function will take into effect.

5. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work and no light
1. Check the connected power.
2. Measure the voltage.
3. Check the power indicator to see whether it can be lit up or not.
B. Not responding to the DMX controller
1. Check whether the DMX connectors and the DMX cables are connected correctly.
2. Check whether the DMX address is correctly set.
3. If the intermittent DMX signal problem occurs, check whether the XLR socket and the signal
cable are well connected.
4. Try it with another DMX controller.
5. Check whether the DMX cables run near or alongside to the high-voltage cables, which may
damage or interfere with the signal circuit.
C. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB might be broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
6. Fixture Cleaning
It is absolutely essential that the fixture is kept clean to ensure the maximum light-output and allow
the fixture to function reliably throughout its life. The fixture must be cleaned regularly to avoid dust,
dirt and smoke-fluid residues building up on or withi n the fixture. The cleaning frequency depends on
the application environment. Clean the fixture immediately if the dust enters it to avoid damage to
the optical lens due to excessive dust.
A soft lint-free cloth moistened with any good glass cleaning fluid is recommended, under no
circumstances should solvents be used.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optical lens at least every 20 days.
