Operation:
1, Dimming Mode
To enter the dimming mode, press the “MODE” button to show “DIMMER” on the LCD display. Now press
the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to set the brightness of the Cool White LEDs from
00-99. Now press the “ENTER” button again and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to set the brightness of
the Warm White LEDs from 00-99. Now press the “ENTER” button a nal time to add strobe and use the “UP”
and “DOWN” buttons to change the ash speed from 00-99.
NOTE: CW/WW: 99 = Dimming (00 = off, 99 = full on), F-99 = Flash (00 = off, 99 = fast)
When you are happy with your choice, press the “ENTER” button to conrm it.
2, Slave Mode
To enter slave mode, press the “MODE” button to show “SLAVE” on the LCD display. Now the unit will follow in
sequence with the master unit.
3, Dimming Curve Mode
The 100W LED Alu CW/WW includes two sets of dimming curves.
The rst is a Halogen emulation mode with a very smooth slow dimming and a small delay.
The second is an LED response with faster dimming and no delay.
To enter the dimming curve mode, press the “MODE” button to show “DIMMER CURVE” on the LCD display.
Now press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select between the 4 dimming
curves from 01-08.
1-4 are for halogen response type : 01 = Linear, 02 = Square, 03 = Inverse square, 04 = S-curve.
5-8 are for LED response type : 05 = Linear, 06 = Square, 07 = Inverse square, 08 = S-curve.
When you are happy with your setting, press the “ENTER” button to conrm it.
LINEAR: the increase in light intensity appear to be linear as DMX value is increased.
SQUARE: light intensity control is ner at low levels and coarser at high levels
INVERSE SQUARE: light intensity control is coarser at low levels and ner at high levels
S-CURVE: light intensity control is ne at low levels and high levels and coarser at medium levels.
4, Channel Mode
To enter the channel mode, rst press the mode button to show “CHANNEL” on the LCD display. Now press
the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select 2/5 or 6 channel mode.
5, DMX Mode
To enter the DMX mode, press the “MODE” button to show “DMX MODE” on the LCD display. Now press the
“ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select the DMX address from 001-512.
When you are happy with your setting, press the “ENTER” button to conrm it.
Preset Colour Temperature Macro Mode
To enter the Preset Colour Temperature Macro mode, press the “ENTER” button to show “PRESET” on the
LCD display. Now press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select from the 17
built-in preset colour temperature macros.
Note: 1 = Warm, 17 = Cool

DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent xtures
and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the xture. DMX data is
sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located
on all DMX xtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DMX Linking:
• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate
from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data
transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which
xtures are connected in a DMX line does not inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned
to a DMX address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the
middle. When a xture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to
address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the DMX chain.
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The 100W LED Alu CW/WW can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of
the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin or 5-pin XLR connector for data input/output
(gure 1).
Figure 1
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice:
• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield conductor
to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the
shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special Note: Line termination:
• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to
avoid erratic behaviour.
Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:
• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin
XLR xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin
XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The Chart below details the
correct cable conversion.
Termination reduces signal transmission problems
and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a
DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
