4. How To Control The Unit
1. Master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. Universal DMX controller
There is no need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address as new DMX
address setting will be affected at once. Every time you turn the 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 that the unit will be ready to
receive DMX signal or run the built in 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 show. This function
is good when you want an instant show. You have to set the first unit as master and
select show 1, show 2, show 3 or show 4 from 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.
4.2 DMX Controller
By using a universal DMX controller to control the units, you will need to set a DMX
address from 1 to 512 so that the units can receive a DMX signal.
Press the MENU button until is showing on the display. Press the ENTER
button and the display will blink. Use the DOWN and UP buttons to change the
DMX-512 address. Once the address has been selected, press the ENTER button to
confirm. To go back to the functions without any changes press the MENU button
again. Press and hold the MENU button one second or wait for one minute to go
back to the main menu.

4.4 DMX512 CONNECTION
1. In the last unit, the DMX has to be terminated with a termination plug. Solder
a 120 ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin
XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last unit.
2. Connect the units together in a `daisy chain` with an XLR plug from the output
of the unit to the input of the next unit. The cable can not be branched or split
to a `Y` cable.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are a pass-through type to maintain the
DMX circuit when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have an address setup to receive the data sent by
the controller. The address number is between 0-512
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR cable wiring configuration
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5.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. If the DMX address is showing but no response to the controller, check the
address settings and DMX polarity.
2. 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.
6. 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.
