1. INTRODUCTION
Thank you for having chosen our product. If you follow the instructions given in this manual, we are sure that
you will enjoy this device for a long period of time. Unpack your product.
2. OPERATING DETERMINATIONS
The DMX Move Control DMX controller serves for operation of DMX-controlled light effect devices such as
LED spot lights, moving heads and scanners in discotheques or on stage. The controller provides 512
control channels which can be assigned as desired to the 32 control channels. The built-in effect generator
facilitates programming significantly. 9 movement patterns designed for moving heads and scanners can be
called at the push of a button as well as 7 color effects designed for light effect devices with RGBW LEDs in
particular. 32 memory banks are available for programming illumination scenes. 32 additional memory banks
are available for programming chases (sequences of scenes) with 100 steps each. The chases may be
played manually, sound-controlled or automatically. All settings of your light show can be conveniently stored
and archived on a USB memory device.
The device requires an operating voltage of 9-12 V, 300 mA direct current supplied by the included power
unit. The power unit is allowed to be operated with 100-240 V, 50/60 Hz alternating current. The unit was
designed for indoor use only.
Do not shake the device. Avoid brute force when installing or operating the device. When choosing the
installation spot, please make sure that the device is not exposed to extreme heat, moisture or dust. There
should not be any cables lying around. You endanger your own and the safety of others!
This device must never be operated or stockpiled in surroundings where splash water, rain, moisture or fog
may harm the device. Moisture or very high humidity can reduce the insulation and lead to mortal electrical
shocks. When using smoke machines, make sure that the device is never exposed to the direct smoke jet
and is installed in a distance of 0.5 meters between smoke machine and device. The room must only be
saturated with an amount of smoke that the visibility will always be more than 10 meters.
The ambient temperature must always be between -5° C and +45° C. Keep away from direct insulation
(particularly in cars) and heaters. The relative humidity must not exceed 50 % with an ambient temperature
of 45° C. This device must only be operated in an altitude between -20 and 2000 m over NN. Never use the
device during thunderstorms. Over voltage could destroy the device. Always disconnect the device during
thunderstorms.
Operate the device only after having familiarized with its functions. Do not permit operation by persons not
qualified for operating the device. Most damages are the result of unprofessional operation!

Please consider that unauthorized modifications on the device are forbidden due to safety reasons! If this
device will be operated in any way different to the one described in this manual, the product may suffer
damages and the guarantee becomes void. Furthermore, any other operation may lead to dangers like short-
circuit, burns, electric shock, etc.

1. INSTALLATION AND CONNECTIONS
Switch off the DMX controller prior to connecting any units or to changing any existing connections.
Fig. 5.1 Example for connection
Installation
Install the unit on a plane surface or in your rack. When choosing the installation spot make sure that there is
enough space around the unit for ventilation or that heated air from the rack can be passed on to improve
heat radiation. Steady overheating will damage the unit.
DMX512 Connection
Only use a stereo shielded cable in order to connect the controller with the fixture or one fixture with another.
Occupation of the XLR connection:
1 Connect the DMX output of the controller to the DMX input of the first light effect unit.
2 Connect the DMX output of the first fixture in the DMX chain to the DMX input of the next fixture. Always
connect one output to the input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
3 At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. For this solder a 120 Ω
resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR plug and plug it in the DMX output of the last
fixture.
4 If the cable length exceeds 300 m or the number of DMX devices is greater than 32, it is recommended
to insert a DMX level amplifier to ensure proper data transmission.
Connection to the Mains
Connect the power supply unit to the power input jack and the mains plug to a mains outlet. Always
disconnect the mains connector when you wish to change connections, move the unit to a different place or
if it is not used for a longer period.

RDM stands for "Remote Device

RDM is an extension of the DMX512 protocol.
RDM is especially useful when the device is
installed in a remote area.
RDM is integrated in DMX without influencing
the connections. RDM data is transmitted via
the standard XLR pins 1 and 2 and does not
require a new cable type. RDM-ready and
conventional DMX devices can be operated in
one DMX line. If DMX splitters are used, they
must support RDM.
