Operation and Mounting
To activate the device, plug it into a ains socket. Once it's connected to an active power source, it will turn
on auto atically.
The device cannot be operated while it is still starting up and the Menu screen displays ‘rST’. Once the
device has fully started up, it will auto atically ju p to the last ode and setting. Operation odes and other
settings shown on the display can now be adjusted or changed via the enu buttons.
If a DMX signal is detected, the device shall auto atically switch to DMX ode and the DMX address that
was last used. For a new device, this is usually DMX address 001. The DMX address can of course be
changed via the display and enu buttons.
The functions, odes and settings can be changed by using the display and enu buttons. Push ‘Enter’ to
select a function or to confir a change. Push ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ to change any values and push the ‘Menu’
button to return to the ain enu. A few seconds after confir ing a setting by pressing ‘Enter’, the device
shall auto atically return to the ain enu and perfor the set actions. This can be sped up by holding the
‘Menu’ button down for 2 seconds after confir ing a setting by pressing ‘Enter’. This is usually done after
adjusting the working ode or DMX address.

An explanation of all a ailable functions can be found below:
ADDR: With this function, you can deter ine the DMX start address of the device. Set it channel 001, and
the device will respond to DMX channel 1. Set it to channel 003, then the device will respond to DMX
channel 3 and so on.
CHND: This device has a single 10-channel DMX ode in which it can be fully operated via 10 channels,
each controlling a different function.
SLND: Using the Master / Slave Mode, it’s possible to connect several devices of the sa e type with one
another, via DMX 3-pin XLR cables so that they perfor exactly the sa e ove ents and functions at the
sa e ti e. Therefore, single devices do not respond individually (or chaotically) and this results in a
co pletely coordinated show. In the Master / Slave function, the first device in the circuit is set as the Master
and does not receive DMX signal.
PLEASE NOTE: When Slave ode is activated, the device shall wait for a signal fro the designated Master
device. Selecting an auto atic or sound-controlled ode is then not possible! To cancel the Slave ode,
enter the ‘SLND’ enu and select ‘NAST’. This then sets the device to Master ode and the stand-alone
functions can then be activated once ore.
SHND: In this ode, one of the 8 built-in show progra es can be selected. These can be sound reactive
and synchonise to usic if the icrophone has been activated. If the icrophone is switched off, the speed
of each progra e can be anually adjusted.
SOUN: Here, the in-built icrophone can be set to On or Off.
SENS: This ode allows you to set the sensitivity of the in-built icrophone. The further the device is
installed fro the sound-source, the higher the sensitivity of the icrophone needs to be so that the sound is
registered and the device responds accordingly and in ti e to the usic. The icrophone is able to
withstand high sound pressure. However, if the sound is loud and the sensitivity is high, the icrophone will
find it ore difficult to register the beat. Experi ent with the sensitivity and distance fro the positioning of
the device to ake sure you’re getting the best possible signal and opti u perfor ance.
DNST: Use this function to set what the device will do in the event of DMX signal drop-out or loss. When set
to Master ode, the device shall start an in-built progra e. In the LAST ode, the device re ains in the
last active DMX co and received. In the Blackout ode, all settings return to zero and that device no
longer oves or gives light.
LED: When the LED display is not in use, it can be switched off. By setting ‘LED’ to ‘Off’, this will prevent red
sy bols fro illu inating when the device is being used in dark spaces. If you press of the enu buttons,
the display shall i ediately light up and show all necessary infor ation. If the display is not used, it shall
auto atically switch off again within 30 seconds.
DISP: 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 sa e 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 ode or DMX signal (if detected).
TEST: When the device needs to be checked, use the ‘TEST’ function to test one or ore devices at the
sa e ti e. The device(s) shall continuously runs through a progra e within which the LEDs are tested so
that any deviations or defects can be easily detected. The device shall continue to repeat the progra e
until it is anually interrupted (when you switch the device to sound control, for exa ple).
TEMP: The in-built te perature sensor registers the internal te perature of the device. The te perature can
be checked here and is displayed in Degrees Celsius.

between use. The HOUR function shows exactly how long the device has been in use. This a ount
accu ulates over ti e as long as the device is being used and cannot be anipulated by the user.

Operation Modes
Please find a clear explanation of the differences between all available Operation Modes below and how they
are affected by the enu 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 DMX signals, aster signals or sound. Here, one of the basic progra es can be selected
such as setting the alternating speed or correcting the intensity.
Sound:
The sound-controlled ode or ‘sound ode’ uses an in-built icrophone that registers the beat of usic and
a runs a progra based on this. For exa ple, the device can ove in virtual synchronisation with any usic,
providing an auto atic light-show.
When no usic is detected or only highs are present in the usic due to a break, the device will continue its
progra at a slower pace. As such, the light show does not appear to co e to a stand still. As soon as sound
is registered by the icrophone once ore, the device shall continue its progra in synchronisation with the
beat.
Sla e
In Slave Mode, it is possible to connect several devices of the sa e type with one another so that they
perfor exactly the sa e ove ents and functions at the sa e ti e. Therefore, single devices do not
respond individually (or chaotically) and this results in a co pletely coordinated show. In theory, by adding a
DMX booster, an unli ited nu ber of Slave devices can be linked to one Master device. Initially, no proble
would occur if 4 devices were linked and no DMX booster were added.
Please note: If you link devices of a different type or brand (even if they appear to have the sa e function),
chaotic or strange behaviour can occur. This is often because certain functions are linked to the incorrect
channels. This applies to DMX lighting of all types and brands.
DMX
The DMX Mode is the ost co prehensive ode for opti u control over all functions of this device. Via
DMX, it is possible to control either a li ited or large a ount of functions via a DMX controller or DMX
software.
The device can be set to different channel odes so the channel layout (included below) is in align ent with
the layout of your DMX circuit and with the functions you want to use.
8CH mode:
CH Function Value
1 Master Di er 0-100% 000-255
2 Stroboscope Speed 000-255 Fast to slow
3 Rotation 000-200 Indexing
201-230 Clockwise rotation
231-255 Anti-clockwise rotation
4 Rotation Speed 000-255 Slow to fast

Installation and Connection Instructions
Now you know how the TDC Flower Power works. So that the device is used in the correct and safest way,
please ake 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, ake 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 ust be taken into account whenever the device is being positioned and/or installed.
Upright use
When you want to place the TDC Flower Power in an upright position, ake sure that the device is placed on
a stable surface such as a table, DJ booth or bar. The TDC Flower Power is not fitted with rubber feet to grip
the ground and stabilise the device. As such, always ake 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.
The best thing to use for stand-alone, upright use of this device is a ‘Floor Cross’. This floor stand is
designed for spot lighting fixtures and effects. This way, you are sure that the device is aways kept stable.
Suspended use (brackets)
Should you want to suspend the TDC Flower Power, 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 ake
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 tubes (trusses or light stands) are
available fro your local retailer.
Hardware for ounting the TDC Flower Power to the wall, ceiling, or bea is not included. Contact a
specialist if you're not sure what hardware is required for your situation. A wooden bea and stone wall
require different ounting ethods.
When the TDC Flower Power 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 attach ent point for hooking a
safety cable. Once hooked on, the cable can be wrapped around the truss or light stand and attached once
ore to the sa e hook. This ensures the device is secure and prevents it fro falling, even if one or both of
the brackets should co e loose and fail.
Ensure that the safety cable has a load capacity of 10x the weight of the ar ature and that the device can
not fall farther than 30c . You can wrap the safety cable around the truss or light stand several ti es to
ensure the fall is as short as possible. The shorter the fall, the less chance of da age or injury.
Light source
The TDC Flower Power uses powerful LED odules that are ade even ore powerful by a special lens
that co bines and focuses these bea s, uch like a agnifying glass. Since the hu an 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 per anent da age, it can cause te porary blind
spots which ay cause disorientation and disco fort.
Cooling
The TDC Flower Power is cooled by a ventilation fan fitted in the housing. This fan activates when the device
is switched on. Make sure the fans and vents are not blocked and regularly check that they are functioning
nor ally. Be aware that should the fans beco es clogged with substances like dust, s oke and oisture,
this ay i pair operation and shorten the life-span of the device.

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 DMX ode, it is co on for a ‘ter inator’ to be used at the end of the DMX
circuit. A DMX ter inator is a ter inal resistor, consisting of a 120 Oh resistor placed between the second
and third pins to eli inate any data reflections. Data reflections can cause strange behaviour in DMX
controlled devices.
DMX-ter inators are sold read- ade but it is possible to solder a 120 Oh resistor between the second and
third pins of a standard, ale XLR connector.
