Safety Precautions
●To reduce the risk of electrical shock or fire, do not expose this unit to rain or moisture.
●Do not spill water or other liquids into or on to your unit.
●Be sure that the local power outlet match that of the required voltage for your unit.
●Do not attempt to operate this unit if the power cord has been frayed or broken. Do not
attempt to remove or break off the ground prong from the electrical cord. This prong is used
to reduce the risk of electrical shock and fire in case of an internal short.
●Disconnect from main power before making any type of connection.
●Do not remove the cover under any conditions. There are no user serviceable parts
inside.
●Never operate this unit when it‟s cover is removed.
●Never plug this unit in to a dimmer pack.
●Always be sure to mount this unit in an area that will allow proper ventilation. Allow
about 6” (15cm) between this device and a wall.
●Do not attempt to operate this unit, if it becomes damaged.
●This unit is intended for indoor use only; use of this product outdoors voids all
warranties.
●During long periods of non-use, disconnect the unit‟s main power.
●Always mount this unit in safe and stable matter.
●Power-supply cords should be routed so that they are not likely to be walked on or
pinched by items placed upon or against them, paying particular attention to the point they
exit from the unit.
●Cleaning -The fixture should be cleaned only as recommended by the manufacturer.
See “Cleaning” for details.
●Heat -The appliance should be situated away from heat sources such as radiators, heat
registers, stoves, or other appliances (including amplifiers) that produce heat.
●The fixture should be serviced by qualified service personnel when:
A. The power-supply cord or the plug has been damaged.
B. Objects have fallen, or liquid has been spilled into the appliance.
C. The appliance has been exposed to rain or water.
D. The appliance does not appear to operate normally or exhibits a marked change in
performance
●Fuse standard is2A/250V
●Grounded using yellow/green line
●The ambient temperature must always be under +35° C
Set Up
Power Supply: Before plugging your unit in, be sure the source voltage in your area
matches the required voltage for your CUBE3™ RGB TRI LED. The CUBE3™ RGB TRI

4
LED is workable in 100-220V/50~60Hz. Because line voltage may vary from venue to venue,
you should be sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage before attempting to
operate you fixture.
DMX Linking: To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures
try to use the shortest cable path possible. The order in which fixtures are connected in a
DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned 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 fixture 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.
Operating Instructions
Operating Modes: You can use the CUBE3™ RGB TRI LED in 4 ways:
●Sound activation –The unit will activated by the sound signal.
●Static display –The unit will display the pattern in static way.
●Auto Mode - The unit will automatically chase through the different patterns.
●DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits
with a standard DMX 512 controller.
DMX Mode: Operating through a DMX controller give the user the freedom to create their
own programs tailored to their own individual needs. This function also allows you to use
your fixtures as pattern changing lights.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture‟s traits with a standard DMX
512 controller.
2. The Mini PAR uses 7 DMX channels to operate. Please see “DMX Values and Functions”
for the DMX traits.
3. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any
standard DMX controller. Set your desired DMX address following the set up
specifications that come with your DMX controller.
4. The unit can automatically recognize the DMX signal once the DMX connection is done.

For Battery Function and Charge
The unit has the function of battery powered. The button for battery and charge is set on the
rear panel. It is showed as the following picture, and the function is described as below.

(1) Alpha-numeric display (2) Touch switches
(3) Microphone (4) DMX-In socket
(5) DMX-Out socket (6) Power switch
(7) Battery switch (8) GND
(9) Power socket and fuse holder (10) Fixation screw
(11) Mounting bracket
There are two buttons on the rear panel of the lighting. One is for power, and the other is
for battery.
●When use the fixture with DMX, not battery, please switch the button for power to “on”,
and switch the button for battery to “bat off”.
●When use the fixture with battery instead of DMX, please switch the button for power to
“off”, and also switch the button for battery to “bat on”.
●When charge the light, please switch the button for battery to “charge”. At the same
time, if the switch for power is “on”, the light will be at work during the process of charge,
but will consume some power from the charge; if the switch for power is “off”, the light
will be blackout and not be at work.
Tip for the battery and charge:
●The battery can last for 6 hours when all LEDs on after full charge , and can last for
more than 10 hours on auto running mode. Up to 20 Hours for one color. Results vary
based on LED intensity on scale of 0-255.
●It is suggested to charge the battery for at least 8 hours, which will extend the life span
of the battery.
●At the bottom of the fixture, there is a little hole which is the indicating light for the
charge. When charge the light, the indicating light will be in red, and when charged full,
it will be in green.

DMX data more fast.
4. Communication was established correctly then
Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must
be carried out periodically to optimize light output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke,
fog residue, dust, dew).
Trouble Shooting
Listed below are a few common problems the user may encounter, with solutions.
Unit does not respond to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”;
on some other DMX devices pin 2 may be „hot‟). Also, check that all cables are connected to
the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and outputs are connected.
Unit does not respond to sound:
1. Quiet or high pitched sounds will not activate the unit. If problems are not resolved,
contact your dealer for service.
