The unit receives DMX values on a packet of four channels and mirrors the received
data on the DMX output (9). If a DMX signal is present the DMX LED (3) will turn on.
The four channels control the unit as follows:
If DMX-value of channel 3 is lower than 50 the unit works with static colours:
DMX Channel

alue Range Function
CH1 000-255 Output mix choice from presets (see “C” mode)
CH2 000-255 Master level
CH3 000-049 Static mix mode active
CH4 000-049 Tact off
050-255 Tact (050=slow / 255=max. speed 23 Hz)
Output mix presets can be activated by means of CH1 whilst the chosen mix can be
adjusted with CH2. If the value of CH4 is above 50 the unit is set to tact mode. The tact
speed for any fixed output mix chosen on the first channel can be adjusted from zero
(value <50) to 23 cycles per second (value 255).
If DMX value of channel 3 is equal or higher than 50 the unit works in pattern mode:
CH1 Pattern CH1 Pattern
000-015 Soft fade red-green 136-150 Hard switch green-blue
016-030 Soft fade green-blue 151-165 Hard switch red-blue

■Health advice
This unit produces and absorbs electromagnetic radiation. The strength of radiation and
the sensitivity for disturbing interference matches the CE and FCC requirements. A
corresponding sign is printed on the backside of the unit. Any change or modification
may affect the behavior of the unit concerning electromagnetic radiation, with the CE
requirements eventually not to be met any more. The manufacturer takes no
responsibility in this case.
■Functional advice
This unit is immune to the presence of electromagnetic disturbances – both conducted
and radiated - up to a certain level. Under peak conditions, the unit is classified to show
a “class C” performance criteria and may encounter temporary degradation or loss of
function which may need manual help to recover. In such case, disconnect the AC
power from the unit and reconnect it again to recover.
■Environmental advice
This unit is built to conform to the ROHS standards and the WEEE
directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of

User Manual: CoboPin-VT3001C(-I/-T)
V1.00 (10-2013) 6
■LED Lifetime advice
LED lifetime is determined by the gradually declining brightness of a LED over time,
with a point of 50% brightness reduction marking the defined end of its lifetime. The
driving factor of this effect is the heat that the chip inside the LED is exposed to. While
a chip may under ideal circumstances reach to more than 100000 hours of lifetime, the
real-world lifetime may only be 30000 to 50000 hours or less if the LED is exposed to
excessive heat, which can be caused by continuously running all LEDs inside this
device at full power and operating the unit in high environmental temperatures. If
improving the lifespan expectancy is a priority, take care of providing for lower
operational temperatures. This may include forced external cooling and/or the reduction
of overall projection intensity.
■Unpacking
Please check that the box contains the following items, and contact your dealer
immediately for replacement if any part is missing:
