unit on, it will show “ ”on the display and move all the motors to their
‘home’ position and you may hear some noises for about 20 seconds. After

programs.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit will control
the other units to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light

set the first unit as master and select show 1,show 2,show 3 or show
4from the Show Mode. The other units must be set to either Slave 1
(normal) or Slave 2 (2 light show) mode. A DMX cable between the units
for daisy chaining is needed.
2-light show
In slave mode,Slave 1 means the unit works normally and Slave 2
means 2-light show. In order to create a great light show, you can set
Slave 2 on the second unit to get contrast movement to each other, even
if you have two units only.

4.Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during
operation and some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connection of the power and the main fuse.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. Check DMX cables to see if linked correctly.
2. If the DMX address is showing but no response to the controller, check
the address settings and DMX polarity.
3. Try another DMX controller.
C. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the unit is not receiving a DMX signal.
2. Check the microphone to see if it is good by tapping it. The microphone
is located on the bottom plate of the unit.
5. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of external optical lenses 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 a greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid or mild soapy
water.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 20 days.
