4. Product Operation
The VIVID0312 is a compact LED wash light that can produce a multitude of colours using the mixing of red, green
and blue colours built into each 3-in-1 LED. You can set the product to output a single static colour or use the
included series of built in running patterns and sequences that utilize the 12 LEDs to produce different colours,
chasing effects, strobing effects and fading effects.
The mixing of red, green and blue can create any colour you like – for example, red, green and blue on at the same
intensity will create white while red and green together create yellow. Blue and red together create magenta while
blue and green together create cyan. Varying intensities of the red, green or blue will create other colours as well.

The VIVID0312 can be controlled via the onboard 4 button LED display control or via DMX control using a DMX
controller (not included) and the DMX inputs connections.

5. 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:

6. 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. As this fixture
uses 7 DMX channels, each address must be at least 7 apart.
So for example – assuming the first fixture is DMX channel 1, the second fixture would need to be on channel 8,
then the 3
rd
channel 15 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.
7. 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:
8. 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. Do not use alcohol based cleaners and solvents 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.
9. Warranty

years of trouble-free operation but should an unlikely problem arise, warranty claims must be via the original place

6
