5. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in four ways:
A. By master/slave 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. Its DMX input jack will have nothing plugged into it, and Its master
LED will be constantly on and sound LED will flash to the music. The other unit’s DMX
cables plugged into the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led lights will constantly
on.
B. By easy controller(CA-8 & CA-8F)
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. By connecting to the 1/4”
microphone jack of the first unit, you will find that the remote control on the first unit will
control all the other units for Stand by, Function/Mode.

C. By Colormix controller
By link the Colormix controler to the unit , you have to use 3 pin XLR cable and use 5
pin XLR cable between Colormix controller and Colormix foot controller.
CA-32

D. By universal DMX controller
If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from
1 to 512 channel so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button up to when the is shown on the display. Pressing ENTER
button and the display will blink. Use DOWN and UP button to change the DMX512 address.
Once the address has been selected, press and keep ENTER button pressed up to when
the display stops blinking or storing automatically 8 seconds later. To go back to the
functions without any change press the MENU button again.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.

•DMX512 Configuration
You can select 4 or 3 channels mode.
4 channels:
If you use CA-32 Colormix controller, the DMX value range of CH4 is from 100% to 0% .
3 channels:

6. DMX Link & Controls
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin
adapter-cable.
2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. 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.
3. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX512 is a
very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded
connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit,
even when one of the units in the chain is power disconnected.
5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller.
The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
6. The end of the DMX512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

7.Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that you might encounter, and suggestions
as to how to solve them.
A. No light
1.Check the power on LED and fuse
2.Check the lamp if it is ok? (The lamp may turn off, when the unit is in blackout mode).
B. Not responding to DMX
1.Check if the red LED is on, if not, check DMX connectors, cables and to see if they are
linked correctly.
2.If the red LED is on and no response to the control, check the dipswitch settings and
DMX polarity.
3.If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB
of the unit or the previous one.
4.Try to use another DMX controller.
5.Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some units don’t respond to the controller
You may have a break in the DMX cabling. The unit receiving no DMX signal will begin
its own light show. Check the red LED for the response of the DMX signal.
D. No response to the sound
1. Check the unit to make sure if it is not receiving DMX signal (red LED should be off).
2. Check the unit that is not set to auto chase mode.
3. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone.

8. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors 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 greater
accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
＊Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.
＊Always dry the parts carefully.
＊ Clean the external optics at least once every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least
every 30/60 days.
