Operation For Battery Pack
1, Press the Transmitting mode button for more than 3 seconds, until the transmitting signal light is
“ON”, then it means this unit is transmitting. If you want this unit to be the receiver, then you can
press the Receiving mode button for more than 3 seconds until the receiving signal light is “ON”.
2, The UP and DOWN buttons are for selecting different channel frequencies of the
battery pack.
For example, if you have 10 transmitters and 10 receivers, you can press the UP and DOWN
buttons to set their channel frequency accordingly. There are 125 to choose from.
3, When you are charging the battery pack the “Charging LED” will illuminate Red and once
the battery pack is fully charged, the “Charging signal light” will turn Green and the LED Event
Panel is now ready for use.
Note:
1, When using the battery to power the event panel, do not connect the 110V-240V power cable
2, When the battery is fully charged, it can supply a single colour on full output on the
LED Event Panel for about eight hours.
3, Please make sure you connect all necessary cables before operation.
4, Please recharge it immediately after discharge.
LEDJ Event Panel Operation For Battery Pack

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).
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 LEDJ Event Panel 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 standard 3-pin XLR connector for
data input/output (gure 1).
Figure 1
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.
Equinox Event Panel DMX set up
Further DMX cables can be purchased from all
good sound and lighting suppliers or Prolight
dealers.

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.
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.
