1-1The features of CX-5
lEasy operation:
There is a “LED” indicator beside every function key for reminding users to know to
current condition and for following operation.
lCompatibility:
CX-5 can control any kind of lighting fixtures and has a data bank of more than
100 famous fixtures inside.
l1M byte memory, for storing the following data:
<1>. SCENE : 306 sets of “SCENE” memory .
Each set of “SCENE” has independent Xfader SPEED (Time for one
scene to next one) and Chase SPEED (Time for one scene to next one
plus delay time) time for setting .
Each “SCENE” is namable by 10 characters.
6 built in “SCENE” from 301 to 306.
<2>. CHASE : 50 sets “CHASE” memory .
Each set of “CHASE” has 60 STEP , each CHASESTEP means a
“SCENE” memory.
Each CHASESTEP allow to defined both the Xfader SPEED and
Chase SPEED .
Each “CHASE” is namable by 10 characters.
<3>. MACRO : 50 sets of “MACRO” memory .
Eachset of “MACRO” has 60 STEP , each
MACRO STEP can be a set of “SCENE”
memory of a set of “CHASE” memory.
Each “MACRO” is namable by 10 characters.
<4>. LEARN : 50 sets of “LEARN” memory .
Each set of “LEARN” memory is corresponding to any set of
NOTE: Please make sure the protocol of your scanner is DMX signal,
8 bit and not over 14 channel first.

“CHASE” memory. A”LEARN” memory can perform different
effects after the memory is stored accompany with music temple.
The Xfader SPEED of each “LEARN” can be defined as 0.2 Sec., or
Chase SPEED .
Each “LEARN” is nameable by 10 characters.
lDate management:
Every memory has a name which is easier to management than number.
lGreen Earth :
No battery inside. The date is stored by FLASH MEMORY.
lEasy for user to create effects:
There are 12 sets of “HOT KEY” for SCENE” 、”CHASE” 、”MACRO”
and “LEARN” functions which provide users an immediate control.
1-2 Power
lThere is a DC POWER JACK (inside diameter 2Φ) on real panel, for 15V/1A DC
input.
lTurn on the power switch.

2-2 To define the format of lighting fixtures by user
STEP-1: User can define the format by himself if the fixtures are not in the data bank.
EX. We take the Leo scanner as an example,
CH1=PAN, CH2=TILT, CH3=COLOR / GOBO, CH4=SHUTTER, CH5-CH14=OFF.
STEP-2: Press “FNC”, then press “988”,
( Please key in the channel number for Pan.)
STEP-3: Press “+ 4” key to define Tile.
STEP-4: Press “ENTER” to confirm.
This function simply defines the pan and tile to the joystick.
STEP-5: Press “FNC 981” and select “1: ANY COMPANY” after the fixture was set.
