Quad illuminator Operation Modes
Operation modes
Built-in programmes:
To activate the units built-in programmes, press the “MODE” button to show “1.STATIC” on the
LCD screen. Press the “ENTER” button to choose between the 4 built-in programmes by
using the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons. Now press the “ENTER” button to select the desired speed
and adjust by using the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons. Press the “ENTER” button once more to
select the desired ash value and adjust by using the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons.
Speed values: 00 - 99 (00 = slow, 99 = fast)
Flash values: 00 - 99 (00 = slow, 99 = fast)
Programme 1 - Static colour
In this mode you can set the Quad illuminator to any colour and any brightness.
When you are in the “1.STATIC” mode, press the “ENTER” button to change the brightness of
each individual colour.
The “R” represents Red, “G” = Green, “B” = Blue, “W” = White and “F” = strobe.
The two digits after it are the brightness 00 to 99 or in “CF” they are the strobe speed.
Example:
If you set R, G, B and W all to zero, the Quad illuminator will have no LEDs showing (blackout).
If you set R to 99 and G, B and W to zero the Quad illuminator will be 100% Red.
Programme 2 - 15 colour change
In this mode the Quad illuminator will run through its 15 preset colours.
Programme 3 - 4 colour change

DMX mode:
To activate the unit in DMX mode, press the “MODE” button to show “DMX MODE” on the LCD
screen. Press the “ENTER” button and select the desired DMX address setting by using the “UP”
and “DOWN” buttons. Then to select one of the 3 DMX modes 3, 4 or 7 channel,
press the “ENTER” button again to choose the desired DMX mode by using the “UP” and
“DOWN” buttons.
For the 3, 4 or 7 channel DMX address information please see page 5
NOTE: Once the desired settings have been selected in each of the above modes, ALWAYS
conrm the settings by pressing the “ENTER” button.
Slave mode:

DMX Set up
DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between
intelligent xtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the
controller to the xture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from xture to xture via the
DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX xtures (most controllers only
have a data “out” terminal).

The “BLACKOUT” button is used to set the LEDs into the power on or off modes.
The “S PR” button is used to run the built-in programmes. To go though the built-in programmes, press the
“+” and “-” buttons.
The “FL” button is used to set the LEDs to ash on and off, to change the ash frequency use the “+” and
“-” buttons.
The “SP” button is used to set the run speed, this button is available only in the colour change or colour
fade modes. To change the speed use the “+” and “-” buttons.
The “D” button is used to set the LEDs into DMX mode. (See DMX value table)
The “SA” button is used to set the LEDs into sound activated mode.
The “SL” button is used to set the LEDs into slave mode.

DMX Address Examples:
To set the DMX address “245”;
1) Press the “S” button, so the red LEDs come on, this means you can now start to set
the DMX address.
2) Press the “2” button, so the green LEDs come on, this means the rst digit “2”
(the hundreds place) setting is successful.
3) Now Press the “4” button, and the blue LEDs will come on, this now means that the second
digit “4” (tens place) setting is successful.
4) Now Press the “5” button, and all of the R, G, B, A/W LEDs will come on, this means
that the nal digit “5” (units place) setting is successful and the full DMX address setting
has been changed
5) Now press the “DMX MODE” button to save the new address into memory.
To set the DMX address “002”;
1) Press the “S” button, so the red LEDs come on, this means you can now start to set
the DMX address.
2) Press the “0” button, so the green LEDs come on, this means the rst digit “0”
(the hundreds place) setting is successful.
3) Now Press the “0” button, and the blue LEDs will come on, this now means that the second
digit “0” (tens place) setting is successful.
4) Now Press the “2” button, and all of the R, G, B, A/W LEDs will come on, this means
that the nal digit “2” (units place) setting is successful and the full DMX address setting
has been changed.
5) Now press the “DMX MODE” button to save the new address into memory.
Important notes:
• Set the DMX address on each xture before plugging into the DMX controller.
• The I.R Remote is not usable when the xture(s) are being controlled by a DMX controller.
• The maximum transmitter distance is 10M. Please make sure that you have the
I.R remote aimed directly at each xture to be programmed,
• If you do not press the “DMX MODE” button after you have changed the DMX address,
when you power down the xture it will lose the address you have set.

Quad illuminator DMX Set up
DMX Linking:
• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together
and operate from a single controller, as long as all xtures and the controller are DMX compliant.
To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX xtures try to use the
shortest cable path possible. The order in which xtures are connected in a DMX line does not
inuence the DMX addressing. For example; a xture assigned to 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
xture 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.
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The Quad illuminator can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the
back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require a 3-pin connector for data
input/output.
Notice:
• Be sure to follow gures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect the cable’s shield
conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLR’s outer
casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special Note: Line termination:
• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid
erratic behaviour (g 4).
Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the possibilities of erratic
behaviour.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:
• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-Pin
XLR xtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin
XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The chart below details the
correct cable conversion.
Termination reduces signal transmission problems
and interferance. it is always advisable to connect a
DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between
pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.
