Introduction
Thank you very much for purchasing the Nowsonic Autark ID07! Now-
sonic Autark ID07 is a powerful stage floodlight featuring advanced
LED technology that can be operated wired or, in favor of a simple ins-
tallation, remotely controlled. In addition, the unit can be powered via
an internal battery pack. Despite of the compact size of the unit, the 7
powerful RGBW LEDs offer a very high light intensity in four colors and
provide excellent color mixtures via 20 internal programs. As an alter-
native to the internal programs, the unit can be controlled externally
via the DMX 512 protocol, in Master/Slave mode or wirelessly via an IR
remote control. In addition, the unit features a LED display and specific
buttons for menu operation for local control.
Thanks to an internal 12 V battery pack and the IR receiver, Autark ID07
can be operated fully wirelessly in case it‘s difficult to set up wiring or
when installation must be done very quickly. With the remote control
and an optional DMX radio transmitter respectively, the Autark ID07
can be controlled wirelessly via the DMX 512 protocol.
For installation on the floor or to suitable brackets or trusses Autark
ID07 features a rugged double mounting clamp.

Outlets and controls on the rear panel
The following outlets and controls are available on the back panel of
Autark ID07:
1. Mains sockets / fuse
Here you connect the supplied IEC power cable. Using the IEC outlet
you can daisy-chain the mains to following devices. In addition, you
can replace the internal fuse here in case it should be blown due to
overload: use in every case a replacement fuse with identical specifi-
cations.
2. Menu and operating buttons
Autark ID07 is locally controlled via the buttons underneath the LED
display. Navigating the uppermost menu level is done via the MENU
button and the and buttons. For navigating the sub menu level,
press the ENTER button and again the and buttons. Press the
ENTER button in order to open a menu item or to confirm your entry.
Press again the ENTER or MENU button, to exit a sub menu.
3. WIRELESS SWITCH
This button activates the internal receiver of Autark ID07. In the I

4. BATTERY SWITCH
This button activates the operation of Autark ID07 via the internal
battery pack. The internal battery pack is automatically charged when
Autark ID07 is connected to the mains. The charging capacity of the
battery pack is displayed on the battery indicator (6).
5. Remote antenna
The antenna is connected to the internal DMX receiver of Autark ID07.
Unfold the antenna to improve the reception quality for remote con-
trolling.
6. Battery indicator
These LEDs show the current charging status of the internal battery
pack: when fully charged (all LEDs are lit), Autark ID07 can be operated
up to 10 hours without mains supply.
7. Signal LED
When the automatic sound control mode is active, this LED lights
depending on the sensitivity set in the S!Ln5 menu (see from page 7
on). The brighter the LED lights up, the higher the sensitivity is.
8. DMX IN / OUT sockets
These sockets allow to feed an external DMX signal to Autark ID07 and
to loop thru the incoming DMX signal to following Autark devices.
In Master/Slave mode, the Master device outputs the control signal
via its DMX OUT socket, while the Slave unit receives the signal via its
DMX IN socket.
NOTE: Please note that the last unit in a daisy chained configura-
tion via DMX or in Master/Slave mode should be terminated by a
termination resistor. Otherwise control problems may arise.
9. Earthing point
This screw allows to connect external devices with the ground of
Autark ID07.
Operation
You can operate Autark ID07 either in Stand-alone or Master/Slave
mode or wired and remotely controlled respectively via DMX. In Stand-
alone mode, the sound sensing is automatically activated and toggles
the internal programs depending on the detected music signal.

Wiring for Master/Slave mode
In Master/Slave mode, up to 16 Autark units can be linked whereat the
first unit serves as the master and all following units work as slaves. The
slave units receive their control messages from the master.
Proceed as follows:
1) Connect a XLR cable (not supplied) to the DMX OUT socket on
the rear panel of the master unit.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the DMX IN
socket of the first slave device.
3) Connect additional slave units according to this pattern (Slave
DMX Out to Slave DMX In).
Next, you must set the devices to Master/Slave mode via their menus.
The operation in the menu is described from page 7.
Wiring in DMX mode
Using a DMX capable controller, you can control Autark ID07 over 1,
2, 6 or 9 channels in DMX mode. For wired control, proceed as follows:
1) Connect a standard high quality XLR audio cable (not supplied)
to the DMX out socket of the controller.
NOTE: A suitable XLR audio cable connects the two signal leads
to PIN 2 and 3, while ground is soldered to PIN 1. Please make
sure that the wiring doesn‘t change within the cables: a polarity
error or short circuit between the Pins will at least impair or com-
pletely stop the control functionality.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the DMX IN
socket of the first Autark unit.
3) Connect additional Autark units according to this pattern (Slave
DMX OUT to Slave DMX IN).
Next, you must enter an individual DMX address for each Autark unit
via its menu. The operation in the menu is described from page 7.
Wireless control via DMX
Autark ID07 incorporates a DMX receiver that can receive and
implement control signals from a suitable DMX transmitter. For remo-
te control via DMX, proceed as follows:
1) Connect a XLR audio cable (not supplied) to the DMX out socket
of the controller.
2) Connect the other (male) plug of the cable to the DMX in socket
of an optional DMX transmitter (e. g. Nowsonic WRX-1).
3) Unfold the antenna of Autark ID07 to improve the reception
quality and activate the WIRELESS SWITCH: The LED display
should now switch from Addr to A001.
4) Now you must enter an individual DMX address for the Autark
unit via the menu. The operation in the menu is described from
page 7.
5) Finally, press the button at the external DMX transmitter for
establishing and setting up the connection.
