SOFTWARE VERSION
To select the , press the ENTER buon to show the SOFTWARE VERSION on the display and
the display will show the version of soware of the unit . To go back to the funcons without any
changes press the MENU buon again. Hold and press the MENUbuon for one second or wait
for one minute to exit the menu mode.
RESET
To select the , press the ENTER buon to show the RESET on the display. Press the ENTER
buon and all channels of the unit will return to their standard posion.
4. How to Control the Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogram funcon
2. By easy controller
3. By DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address seng will
be affected at once. Each me you turn the unit on, it will show “ ” on the display. Aer that
the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Funcon
By linking the units in master/slave connecon, the first unit will control the other units to give an
automac, sound acvated, synchronized light show. This funcon is good when you want an
instant show. You have to set the first unit in master mode and select (random
show), (show 1) or …or (show 6). 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 select (normal) or (2 light show) mode, Their DMX cables plugged into
the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave LED lights will be constantly on.
Please Note: The Acme Dynamic range of effects, including the Spin, Roller Barrel and Scan, have
been designed to operate together to provide superb synchronised coordinated lightshows. For the
best results, when using a combinaon of fixtures in master/slave mode, please make the Roller
Barrels the first fixtures in the chain.

Inadequateordamagedcables,solderedjointsorcorrodedconnectorscaneasilydistortthe

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.
C.Somefixturesdon’trespondtotheeasycontroller
1. YoumayhaveabreakintheDMXcabling.
2. ChecktheLEDfortheresponseofthemaster/slavemodesignal.
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.
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.



14A
8.FixtureCleaning
Thecleaning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30days.
