DMX Operation
This light can be controlled using standard DMX512 controllers. In order to
control the light via DMX you must assign the DMX address using the 10 dip
switches at the back of the unit.
To put the unit into DMX Mode, dip switch 10 must be set to the off position.
After doing this, you must then select the desired DMX Address by using dip
switches 1 to 9. The unit must be turned off while performing this function.
If you are changing DMX address, the unit must be turn off to allow it to
reset.

DMX Operation Continued
Channel 1 is master DMX Channel. This is used to put the unit in sound active
mode, DMX512 Image Mode 1, DMX Image Mode 2, Auto and Blackout. Please
see the values in the chart above for desired effect.
Channel 2 Control: This channel gives user ability to select the Images. In
order to have access to Images using Channel 2, Channel 1 must be set to a
value between 51-101. Note: In this mode Channels 3 to 8 are inactive.
Channel 3 Control: To access all single Images on Channel 3, Channel 1 must
be set to a value between 102-152. Note: In this mode Channel 2 is inactive.
Channels 4 to 8 are used to control the individual Images as selected.
Channel 4 Control: When Channel 3 is available (as described in section 3
above) Channel 4 allows you to Zoom single Images IN and OUT (control size)
which have been selected on Channel 3. If Channel 4 value is at 0 most Images
will appear as a dot, therefore it is important to select a value greater than 19 in
order to see the required Image.
Channel 5 Control: When Channel 3 is available (as described in section 3
above) Channel 5 will allow you to control the rotation of the single Image
selected on Channel 3.
Channel 6 Control: When Channel 3 is available (as described in section 3
above) Channel 6 will allow you to move the single Image on it’s X axis (left to
right). Value 0 will take Image back to the centre or home position.
Channel 7 Control: When Channel 3 is available (as described in section 3
above) Channel 7 will allow you to move the single Image on it’s Y axis (up to
down). Value 0 will take Image back to the centre or home position.
Channel 8 Control: When Channel 3 is available (as described in section 3
above) Channel 8 will control the scanning speed of the single Image selected on
Channel 3.

SOUND ACTIVE MODE
This unit can be run in Sound Active Mode. In Sound Active Mode the unit will
change pattern and movement to the beat of the music.
SOUND ACTIVE SETTINGS
1. To select Sound Active Mode, all DMX dip switches should be set to the
off position.
2. Set Sensitivity/Volume knob to the desired level (centre position
recommended)
When changing modes using the dip switches, the unit must always be turned
off so that it can reset itself.
MASTER SLAVE MODE
This unit can be run in Master Slave Mode. In Master Slave Mode one unit will
be the master and all units set to Slave Mode will follow the Master patterns and
movement.
MASTER SLAVE SETTINGS
To select Master Slave Mode you need to set up the DMX dip switches.
1. Set Dip Switch 10 to the on position on Master and Slave unit
2. Set Dip Switch 1 to the on position for Master Unit
3. Set Dip Switch 1 to the off position for Slave Unit(s)
4. Connect XLR Cable to output of Master Unit and then to the input of the
slave unit.
5. Set Sensitivity/Volume knob to the desired level (centre position
recommended)
When changing modes using the dip switches, the unit must always be
turned off so that it can reset itself. You connect up to 8 Slave units to one
Master. More units may be connected but it will depend on the distance apart
and may cause the units not to function accurately.
