Operation and Mounting
To activate the device, plug it into a mains socket. Once it's connected to an active power source, it will turn
on automatically.
The device cannot be operated while it is still starting up. uring the start-up process, the moving head will
move to calibrate all step motors. This can include some alarming movements. Once the device has fully
started up and come to a rest, it will automatically jump to the last mode and setting. Operation modes and
other settings shown on the display can now be adjusted or changed via the menu buttons.
If a MX signal is detected, the device shall automatically switch to MX mode and the MX address that
was last used. For a new device, this is usually MX address 001. The MX address can of course be
changed via the display and menu buttons.
The functions, modes and settings can be changed by using the display and menu buttons. Push ‘Enter’ to
select a function or to confirm a change. Push ‘Up’ and ‘ own’ to change any values and push the ‘Menu’
button to return to the main menu. A few seconds after confirming a setting by pressing ‘Enter’, the device
shall automatically return to the main menu and perform the set actions. This can be sped up by holding the
‘Menu’ button down for 2 seconds after confirming a setting by pressing ‘Enter’. This is usually done after
adjusting the working mode or MX address.
The Menu includes the following options and fuctions:
display Mode Function

An explanation of all available functions can be found below:
ADDR: With this function, you can determine the MX start address of the device. Set it channel 001, and
the device will respond to MX channel 1. Set it to channel 003, then the device will respond to MX
channel 3 and so on.
CHND: This device can operate with various MX channel modes. If your MX circuit is reasonably full with
devices and you do not need extensive control over the functions, a concise channel mode can be selected.
It is also possible to select a more extensive channel mode, making more channels available for the control
of several separate functions.
SLND: Using the Master / Slave Mode, it’s possible to connect several devices of the same type with one
another, via MX 3-pin XLR cables so that they perform exactly the same movements and functions at the
same time. Therefore, single devices do not respond individually (or chaotically) and this results in a
completely coordinated show. In the Master / Slave function, the first device in the circuit is set as the Master
and does not receive MX signal.
PLEASE NOTE: When Slave mode is activated, the device shall wait for a signal from the designated Master
device. Selecting an automatic or sound-controlled mode is then not possible! To cancel the Slave mode,
enter the ‘SLN ’ menu and select ‘NAST’. This then sets the device to Master mode and the stand-alone
functions can then be activated once more.
SHND: In this mode, one of four automatic programmes can be selected, each with fully adjustable
perameters. Here is a short description of each of the available programmes:
Fade: Slow colour fade with adjustable speed. One colour blends smoothly into the other.
Show: Sound / Music-controlled mode. The device is synchronised and reacts to sound picked up by the
integrated microphone and microphone sensitivity level.
Colo: Choose from one of the in-built static colour presets.Here, the dimmer level can be set between 0%
and 100% after confirming the colour selection by pressing ‘Enter’.
Jump: Alternate between diverse colours. One colour preset jumps to the next colour preset in one go.
SOUN: Here, the in-built microphone can be set to On or Off.
SENS: This mode allows you to set the sensitivity of the in-built microphone. The further the device is
installed from the sound-source, the higher the sensitivity of the microphone needs to be so that the sound is
registered and the device responds accordingly and in time to the music. The microphone is able to
withstand high sound pressure. However, if the sound is loud and the sensitivity is high, the microphone will
find it more difficult to register the beat. Experiment with the sensitivity and distance from the positioning of
the device to make sure you’re getting the best possible signal and optimum performance.
DNST: Use this function to set what the moving head will do in the event of MX signal drop-out or loss.
When set to Master mode, the device shall start an in-built programme. In the LAST mode, the device
remains in the last active MX command received. In the Blackout mode, all settings return to zero and that
device no longer moves or gives light.
LED: When the LE display is not in use, it can be switched off. By setting ‘LE ’ to ‘Off’, this will prevent red
symbols from illuminating when the device is being used in dark spaces. If you press of the menu buttons,
the display shall immediately light up and show all necessary information. If the display is not used, it shall
automatically switch off again within 30 seconds.
D SP: This function is useful when the device is suspended and the display screen is upside down. Use this
function to flip the screen so that it can be easily read when the device is suspended.
REST: When this function is activated, the device will be restarted. This has the same affect as turning the
power off and on again. When it is reset, the device will recalibrate, reboot and return to the last selected
operating mode or MX signal (if detected).

TEST: When the device needs to be checked, use the ‘TEST’ function to test one or more devices at the
same time. The device(s) shall continuously runs through a programme within which the LE s are tested so
that any deviations or defects can be easily detected. The device shall continue to repeat the programme
until it is manually interrupted (when you switch the device to sound control, for example).
TEMP: The in-built temperature sensor registers the internal temperature of the device. The temperature can
be checked here and is displayed in egrees Celsius.
HOUR: If this device is used professionally or rented, it should be regularly maintained and inspected in
between use. The HOUR function shows exactly how long the device has been in use. This amount
accumulates over time as long as the device is being used and cannot be manipulated by the user.
VER: Here, the current firmware version is displayed. This cannot be changed or adjusted.

Operation Modes
Please find a clear explanation of the differences between all available Operation Modes below and how they
are affected by the menu functions listed above.
Auto:
In Auto Mode, you can select one of the Operation Modes in which the device is not dependent on external
factors such as MX signals, master signals or sound. Here, one of the basic programmes can be selected
such as setting the alternating speed or correcting the intensity.
Sound:
The sound-controlled mode or ‘sound mode’ uses an in-built microphone that registers the beat of music and
a runs a program based on this. For example, the device can move in virtual synchronisation with any music,
providing an automatic light-show.
When no music is detected or only highs are present in the music due to a break, the device will continue its
program at a slower pace. As such, the light show does not appear to come to a stand still. As soon as sound
is registered by the microphone once more, the device shall continue its program in synchronisation with the
beat.
Slave
In Slave Mode, it is possible to connect several devices of the same type with one another so that they
perform exactly the same movements and functions at the same time. Therefore, single devices do not
respond individually (or chaotically) and this results in a completely coordinated show. In theory, by adding a
MX booster, an unlimited number of Slave devices can be linked to one Master device. Initially, no problem
would occur if 4 devices were linked and no MX booster were added.
Please note: If you link devices of a different type or brand (even if they appear to have the same function),
chaotic or strange behaviour can occur. This is often because certain functions are linked to the incorrect
channels. This applies to MX lighting of all types and brands.
DMX
The MX Mode is the most comprehensive mode for optimum control over all functions of this device. Via
MX, it is possible to control either a limited or large amount of functions via a MX controller or MX
software.
The device can be set to different channel modes so the channel layout (included below) is in alignment with
the layout of your MX circuit and with the functions you want to use.
9CH mode:

nstallation and Connection nstructions
Now you know how the ERO Micro Beam FX works. So that the device is used in the correct and safest way,
please make sure to follow the installation and connection instructions.
Make sure that children do not have access to the device or any connecting cables. If there are children
present, make sure that they are supervised. Since the device can be placed upright or be suspended, it is
possible for children to pull on any connecting cables and cause the device to fall. To prevent any accidents
or injury, this must be taken into account whenever the device is being positioned and/or installed.
Upright use
When you want to place the ERO Micro Beam FX in an upright position, make sure that the device is placed
on a stable surface such as a table, J booth or bar. The ERO Micro Beam FX is not fitted with rubber feet to
grip the ground and stabilise the device. As such, always make sure that the light is positioned on a stable
surface and that any cabling is secured so that no one can trip and knock or pull the device over.
Suspended use (brackets)
Should you want to suspend the ERO Micro Beam FX, use the suspension brackets, tightening knobs and
rubber rings included.
Place the rubber rings between the bracket and the fixture. Then tighten the knobs on both sides to make
sure that the bracket is secure.
If you want to suspend the device with a half-coupler or G-hook, this can be done by using the pre-drilled
holes in the bracket. Standard hooks and/or brackets for 35 or 50 mm tubes (trusses or light stands) are
available from your local retailer.
Hardware for mounting the ERO Micro Beam FX to the wall, ceiling, or beam is not included. Contact a
specialist if you're not sure what hardware is required for your situation. A wooden beam and stone wall
require different mounting methods.
When the ERO Micro Beam FX is suspended, you will need to attach a safety cable to the fixture. This is not
included but is available at your local retailer. The device is fitted with an attachment point for hooking a
safety cable. Once hooked on, the cable can be wrapped around the truss or light stand and attached once
more to the same hook. This ensures the device is secure and prevents it from falling, even if one or both of
the brackets should come loose and fail.
Ensure that the safety cable has a load capacity of 10x the weight of the armature and that the device can
not fall farther than 30cm. You can wrap the safety cable around the truss or light stand several times to
ensure the fall is as short as possible. The shorter the fall, the less chance of damage or injury.
Light source
The ERO Micro Beam FX uses powerful LE modules that are made even more powerful by a special lens
that combines and focuses these beams, much like a magnifying glass. Since the human eye cannot adjust
quickly enough to sudden and intense exposure to the level of brightness this device produces, never look
directly into the lens at close range. While it won't result in permanent damage, it can cause temporary blind
spots which may cause disorientation and discomfort.
Cooling
The ERO Micro Beam FX is kept cool by cooling fins and ventilation slits. Never block the ventilation slits and
keep them free of dirt and dust.
Parts and repairs
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. Any inspections and overall
maintenance should be carried out by a specialist only.

Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the exterior of this device on a monthly basis with a dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that
the device is unplugged before cleaning it.
Check that all screws are intact and secured and tighten or replace them where needed. Check all metal
parts of the device for any signs of corrosion. If corrosion is found, the device needs to be checked
thoroughly.
DMX Terminator
When using the device in MX mode, it is common for a ‘terminator’ to be used at the end of the MX
circuit. A MX terminator is a terminal resistor, consisting of a 120 Ohm resistor placed between the second
and third pins to eliminate any data reflections. ata reflections can cause strange behaviour in MX
controlled devices.
MX-terminators are sold read-made but it is possible to solder a 120 Ohm resistor between the second and
third pins of a standard, male XLR connector.
