PRODUCT INTRODUCTION
1.1 PRODUCT FEATURES
OPERATING MODE:
1. External Control Mode!
!
- DMX512 (console control, with five different DMX channel modes available);"
- Master-Slave control.!
2. Auto Mode!
!
Built-in programs:"
"
- color-fade (gradient) and color-pulse (fading to black) effects"
"
- Strobe effect with custom variable speed (from slow rate to very fast-paced)
available in external control mode or standalone use (static color plus strobe or strobe
plus color gradient effect programming custom scenes)"
"
Internal programming to customize automatic mode programs:"
"
- programming function: do not need the console to program and change the gradient
speed between the scenes or colors used by each of the ten programs (in any
combination with the strobe effect, up to thirty scenes per program)"
"
- program data can be exchanged between different units (host-slave) !
3. Static Mode!
!
It’s possible to select any fixed color without the use of the console (also assign the
strobe effect and vary its speed)!
STAGE MODE: BLACK-OUT CONTROL FROM CONSOLE AND ID ADDRESS CODE
In STAG mode, when predefined and custom programs run, if the value of the overall
brightness adjustment channel is set to zero the light will be completely attenuated. The
program will continue to work automatically (it can be restored at any time by moving the
appropriate cursor up on the console). Despite the result being the same, it is actually
different from setting all channels to 0 using the Black-Out button dedicated, available on
almost all DMX controllers."
In STAG mode, a series of lights with the same DMX address (up to 66 units) can be
indexed with a different ID and independently controlled to achieve various effects."
3

NON-LINEAR DIMMING AND LINEAR DIMMING SPEED
Operating at 16 bits (up to 65,535 different levels of intensity available) it is possible to
achieve and set non-linear curves to increase the smoothness of the dimming.!
White Balance!
Different preset balances can be saved and reused with different color temperature
corrections.!
Color correction
It is possible to correct the RGB balance by changing the maximum values for each
channel.!
Screen lock and password protection
The display will automatically turn offafter 30 seconds if no key is pressed (just press any
button and release it to turn the display back on): the menu panel can also be password
protected to prevent any unauthorized changes.!
1.2 QUICK START
SETTING UP OPERATING MODES:
The main menu normally runs "External Control" Mode: unless it’s been selected
"Automatic" Mode, "Static" Mode, or "Slave" Mode. Therefore if SLAV or one of the
default or custom programs (selected during previous use) appears on the display on
power on, the unit will wait to receive an external DMX signal on the selected address,
and will not emit any light until this happens.!
The default mode is the DMX512 (to use a DMX console): while receiving a standard
DMX512 signal the point after the fourth decimal point will flash. If it does not flash,
please check if the console (or any other DMX512 signal source) is properly connected
and transmitting:!
•if you want to change the value of the DMX address, press the MENU button until you
see dMX and press the ENTER button to access the sub-menu (this allows to set the
starting DMX address pressing UP and DOWN);!
•If you want to select the DMX channel mode, press the "MENU" key until you see PERS
and press the "ENTER" key to enter the submenu (refer to pages 15-18 to see a
detailed channel chart for each mode);!
•There are 5 different dimming speed (increasing the “softness“ of the dimming) to
choose from: while in the SET menu press “UP” or “DOWN” until dIM appears on the
display and press “ENTER” to access the sub-menu (refer to page 18 for details).!
If you want to use the Master-Slave control, enter the RUN menu and select SLAV for all
the units that must be chained as slaves to the master one which should be set to STAT
or AUTO mode.!
Please note: do not set up more than one Master unit per DMX chain. It’s necessary that
there is only one signal source (Master unit or DMX console) for each line. In case there
are multiple sources the signal would interfere, preventing the correct reception of data.!
4

To select the Static Mode: enter the STAT menu by pressing ENTER from the main menu
and choose the color by setting the RGB values (after setting the color also the strobo
speed can be set, see more at page 9).!
•To select the Auto Mode: enter the AUTO menu by pressing ENTER from the main menu
and choose a standard built-in program (AT.01-AT.10) or a custom program (PR.01-PR.
10). To edit them refer to page 10.!
1.3. DATA TRANSFER BETWEEN DIFFERENT UNITS
It’s possible to transfer program data between different units by sending data from a
Master used as a host to one or more connected as Slave.!
The copied values are all custom programs (pR.01-pR.10) that can be edited using the
EDIT menu to create their scenes (see page 12 and 19).!
To start the transfer, select UPLd from the SET menu of the Master used as Host (host the
programs to transfer to Slave units) and press ENTER (see page 13 for more details).!
1.4 MULTIPLE UNITS SYNCHRONIZATION
When a DMX console controls a number of units, you can simultaneously send DMX
values to the various addresses selected for each device.!
DMX data conversion is done individually by each one of the connected units.!
Please note:!
1. in some circumstances, units may be out of sync at startup (due to inconsistencies in
startup times or abnormal behavior due to data packet leaks). If this happens, move
the DMX channel cursor relative to the incorrect value, setting it first to zero and then
to the desired value;"
2. since the crystal frequency of each headlight is not exactly the same, after a long time
running the same program, there may be delays between the headlights, resulting in
phase-out phenomena. To avoid that result there are two different approaches:"
"
- use a console to simultaneously launch programs by selecting them through their
DMX channel or by programming their console scenes after properly assigning DMX
addresses (refer to the console manual);"
"
- use the Master-Slave control to synchronously run, on all Slave units, the program
set on the first unit of the chain (Master).!
If you are using different models of ArchiLED at the same time, with different LED
configurations (RGB, RGBW, RGBAL…), the Master has to be the one with most
channels (RGBW>RGB not vice versa). In this way the signal is correctly
recognized by all units.!
In addition, the Master has to be properly programmed in one of the "Static"
modes or by editing one of the pR.01-pR.10 programs in order to use only the
channels common to all Archiled used.!
