5. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. By easy controller
3. By iLead controller ( please refer to the user guide of iLead ) or universal DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address
setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show 200S 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.
5.1 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 in master mode and select
(show 1) or (show 2) or (show 3) or (show 4) mode. 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 units will have to set in slave mode
and select (normal) or (2 light show) mode, Their DMX cables plugged into
the DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led lights will constantly on.
2-light show
In (slave mode), means the unit works normally and means
2-light show. In order to create a great light show, you can set on the second unit to
get contrast movement to each other, even if you have two units only.

12D
5.2 Easy Controller
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 functions press the MENU button again.

5.3 iSolution Operation
♦Consistent DMX configuration enable iMove to be linked together with iRock and iShow
and controlled at the same time.
♦DMX address can be set remotely by iLead controller (Please refer to the user manual of
iLead controller). No need to calculate the DMX channels of each fixture in the chain.
♦Automatic switching between DMX function and built-in stand alone programs.
5.4 DMX Controller
An 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 showing 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. If you use please refer to the
following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.
DMX address can be setting remotely by IL-0824 controller. No need to calculate the DMX
channels of each fixture in the chain.
13D
6. DMX 512 Configuration
NOTICE：When you control the units by DMX controller and the value of the 8th channel is
between 240 and 255, the units enter into standalone operation, other channels (1-7) will not
be controlled by DMX controller.

14D
NOTICE：When you control the units by DMX controller and the value of the 6th channel is
between 16 and 255, then the channel1 and channel2 will be out of control. Or if the value of
the 8th channel is between 240 and 255, the units enter into standalone operation, other
channels will not be controlled by DMX controller.
15D
7. DMX512 Connection
The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.
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. DMX 512 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,
when power is disconnected to the unit.
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 DMX 512 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 (+) ,
Pin4/5: not used.

8. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
3. Check the power on LED.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address 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 damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some units don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the
master/ slave mode signal.
2. Wrong DMX address in the unit. Set the proper address.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the unit does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone
E. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
F. The lamp is cutting out intermittently
1. The lamp is not working well. Check the main voltage either too high or too low.
2. Internal temperature may be too high. Check and if necessary replace the fan on the
head.
17D
G. If The pan belt is broken
1. Turn off the main power.
2. Unscrew all the screws and open the base-housing cover.
3. Unplug all the connect wires that from the arm.
4. Unscrew the screws that fix the axis gear.
5. Change a new belt by going through all connects wires that from the arm to base, and
through the bridge for correct position.
6. Set up the gear axis to the bridge and screwed it. Note: do not press the belt.
7. Put the belt around the axis gear and motor gear.
8. Plug all the connect wires that form the arm.
9. Adjust the pan home position.
10. Screw the base-housing cover.

18D
9. Maintenance and Cleaning
Maintenance (for HID lamp only):
Filter,capacitor Ignitor Ballast
A. As the pictures shown above, if the cable or cable joints turned yellow or black,
please replace the cable or cable joints immediately.
B. Do maintain the fixtures every two months and make sure that all the screws
and terminals have been locked firmly to make sure the normal performance
of the fixtures. Negligence of maintenance would cause malfunction of the
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.
yClean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
yAlways dry the parts carefully.
yClean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least
every 30/60 days.
