4. Operation
Because this light features a laser, there is the mandatory key operated laser safety switch on the rear of the unit.
This is independent of the power on/off switch. The laser will not operate until the safety switch is placed into the
on position using the included key. All other functions of the product will work regardless, when the power switch
is on.
The four button LED menu control on the rear of the product allows you to access all features of the product
including how it is to be controlled.

6. DMX Control
Using DMX you can control each of the four effects built into this light individually. You can also
use DMX to call upon built in programs and shows. This fixture has 2 DMX profiles – 2 and 10
channels modes. The 10 channel mode allows individual control of all the effects while the 2
channel mode is a simpler way to control the light ny DMX simply calling upon built in programs
and features.

7. DMX-512 Control Connection
Using a 3 pin XLR cable, you can connect the product to a DMX controller and then to other fixtures
with 3 pin XLR inputs and outputs. When not using DMX, multiple fixtures can be connected together
and operate under master/slave control. The signal cable should have two core with shielded cable, the
signal connectors are XLR input and output connectors. Please refer to the below diagram:
8. DMX Address Setting
When being used in conjunction with a DMX controller, each fixture must be set a specific starting
address. When receiving signal, fixture will receive channel control signals of this address from the
DMX controller.
For simplicity, the user can use the same address for multiple fixtures but this will result in each fixture
providing exactly the same output and fixtures with the same DMX address cannot be individually
controlled.
To control each fixture individually via DMX, each fixture must have its own unique DMX address. If
this fixture is in 10 channel DMX mode then each address must be 10 channels apart. For example, if
the first unit is on DMX channel 1, the 2
nd
must be on DMX channel 11, the 3
rd
on channel 21 and so on.

Similarly, for 2 channel DMX mode, the DMX channels would be 1,3,5,7 and so on.
Some DMX controllers may group fixtures in lots of 16 channels – so in that case, fixture 1 on channel 1,
fixture 2 on channel 17, 3 on 33, and so on. Refer to your DMX controllers’ instruction manual on how
best to manage your DMX channel allocation.

9. DMX-512 connection with DMX terminator
A DMX terminator helps to reduce ‘noise’ on the DMX chain, and makes the light respond to control
more accurately. It should be plugged in to the last fixture in any chain. For Terminator connections
please see below:
10. Cleaning and Maintenance
From time to time it is recommended the product is cleaned to ensure maximum light output and
performance. Use a wet cloth to clean the housing as well as the lenses. Please note that alcohol based
cleaners and solvents cannot be used as they will cause damage to the product.
When used in a fixed long term installation such as a venue or club, the unit should be periodically taken
down from the installation and professionally cleaned. Dust build-up within the unit can cause damage
and ultimately failure of components.
