The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit
is firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the
structure to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10
times of the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times of the
weight of the unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a place where is out
of the touch of people and has no one pass by or under it.

4. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in two ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. By DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address
setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show “” on the
display and move all the motors to their ‘home’ position. After that the unit will be ready to
receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
The fixture will allow you to link 16 fixtures together and operate without a controller. In
Master/Slave mode, the first fixture whose DMX input jack has with nothing connect will be
master automatically, set other units to slave 1 or slave2 or …slave 16 via menu, then the
first unit will control the others to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light
show. This function is good when you want an instant show. Any fixture can act as a Master
or as a Slave
10 -

2-light show
In slave mode, Slave 1 means the unit works normally and Slave 2 means 2-light show. In
order to create a great light show, you can set Slave 2 on the second unit to get contrast
movement to each other, even if you have two units only.
4.2 DMX Controller
Use universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from 1 to
512 channel so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button up to when the is showing on the display. Pressing ENTER
button and the display will blink. Use DOWN and UP button to change the DMX512 address.
Once the address has been selected, press and keep ENTER button pressed up to when
the display stops blinking or storing automatically one minute later. To go back to the
functions without any change press the MENU button again. If you use please refer to the
following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4 units.

6. DMX512 Connections
The DMX512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.
1. Connect the fixture together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the
fixture to the input of the next fixture. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y”
cable. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system
2. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit
when one of the units’ power is disconnected.
3. At last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator to reduce signal
errors. Solder a 120-ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a
3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
4. Each lighting fixture needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the
controller. The address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+),
Pin4/5: not used

7. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The fixture does not work, no light
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and
DMX polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB
of the fixture or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the fixture does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone.
D. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
8. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning
frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or
particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 day
