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

4.HowtoControltheUnit

Youcanoperatetheunitinthreeways:

1.Bymaster/slavebuilt‐inpreprogramfunction

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settingwill

beaffectedatonce.Eachtimeyouturntheuniton,itwillshow“ ”onthedisplay.After

thattheunitwillbereadytoreceiveDMXsignalorrunthebuiltinprograms.



11A

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),  (show1)or…or  (show12).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.



2‐lightshow

Inslavemode,  meanstheunitworksasthemasterunitand  means2‐lightshow.

Inordertocreateagreatlightshow,youcanset  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forStandby,FunctionandModeselection.

.



4.3DMXController

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.

6.DMXConnection



1. Connectthefixturetogetherina“daisychain”byXLRplugcablefromtheoutputofthefixture

totheinputofthenextfixture.Thecablecannotbebranchedorsplittoa“Y”cable.

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

signalandshutdownthesystem

2. TheDMXoutputandinputconnectorsarepass‐throughtomaintaintheDMXcircuitwhenone

oftheunits’powerisdisconnected.

3. Atlastfixture,theDMXcablehastobeterminatedwithaterminatortoreducesignalerrors.

Soldera120‐ohm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fixture.

4. Eachlightingfixture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).

5. 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(+)

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.



18A

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:moist,smokyorparticularlydirty

surroundingcancausegreateraccumulationofdirtonthefixture.

yCleanwithsoftclothusingnormalglasscleaningfluid.

yAlwaysdrythepartscarefully.

yCleantheexternalopticsatleastevery30days.
