5. Control By Universal DMX Controller
5.1 Connection
1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-o h 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 cannot be 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.
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 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
12C

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.
5.2 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 DMX Address, 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 idling let the unit idle one minute to exit menu mode.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.

5.3 DMX512 Configuration
Please refer to below configurations to control the fixtures
Attentions:
1. The unit will maintain the last condition until reset if you cut-off the DMX signal.
2. For the channel Function, keep the value for about 5 seconds, then the corresponding
function will take into effect.

6. 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 Lamp.
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. 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

7. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/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.
