1. AUTO Mode
To use the Auto mode – a selection of exciting and vibrant blue colour effects, push
Dipswitch 1 & 10 into the up position
2. DMX Mode
It is possible to operate the Lanta Quasar Sapphire Twinkle™ from a remote location by
using either a DMX controller or a PC or laptop with a DMX interface. Lanta products
use a 3 pin XLR style connector and usually have an input and output DMX connector.
This allows multiple lighting products to be “daisy-chained” together to build a display
controlled by just one cable back to the DMX controller.
Choosing DMX Control Mode
Ensure that Dip Switch 10 is set to the “down” position to activate DMX Control Mode.
Setting the DMX Addresses
Dip Switches 1-9 on the Rear Panel set the DMX Address of the unit. The unit uses binary
format, allowing values from 1 to 511 to be set. Dip Switch 1 represents “1”; Dip Switch
2 represents “2”; Dip Switch 3 represents “4”; Dip Switch 4 represents “8”; Dip Switch 5
represents “16”; Dip Switch 6 represents “32”; Dip Switch 7 represents “64”; Dip Switch 8
represents “128” and Dip Switch 9 represents “256”.

3. SOUND Mode
The unit responds to sounds picked up by the in-built mic. Each sound steps the Effect
to the next in the sequence. To select Sound Activated Mode Dip Switch 10 needs to be
pushed to the up position.
4. MASTER /SLAVE Mode
This is a great way of making two or more Lanta Quasar Sapphire Twinkle™ units do the
same things at the same time, without the need for a DMX controller. The Lanta Quasar
Sapphire Twinkle™ has a DMX controller of its own, built inside and when a second
Lanta Quasar Sapphire Twinkle™ (set as SLAVE) is connected to a Lanta Quasar Sapphire
Twinkle™ (set as MASTER) the SLAVE will follow all of the activity of the MASTER.
It is possible to run 9 units on a master/ slave function, 1 unit as the master, 8 units as the
slaves. To set the first slave unit must push Dipswitch 2 & 10 into the “ON” position. To set a
second unit on slave you must push Dipswitch 3 & 10 into the “ON” position. Continue this
process until you reach the maximum allowance of 8 units ( 9 & 10 in the “ON” position)
