* Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage and that the voltage
you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the fixture.
* This product is intended for indoor use only!
* To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not expose fixture to rain or moisture. Make sure there
are no flammable materials close to the unit while operating.
* The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation.
* Always disconnect from power source before servicing or replacing fuse .
Immediately upon receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the
contents to ensure that all parts are present, and have been received in good
condition. Notify the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection
if any parts appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows signs of
mishandling. Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture
must be returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the
original factory box and packing.

DMX-output of the last fixture.
In the Controller mode, at the last fixture in the chain, the DMX output has to be connected with
a DMX terminator. This prevents electrical noise from disturbing and corrupting the DMX control

DMX 512 CONTROLLER SERIES
DMX 512 CONTROLLER SERIES
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy
Chain connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of
the next fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and
has no effect on how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that
provides for the easiest and most direct cabling.Connect fixtures using shielded two
conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors.The
shield connection is pin 1,while pin 2 is Data Negative(S-)and pin 3 is Data positive
(S+).
DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number of channels
required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should
never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose
starting address is set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the
same type using the same starting address as long as the intended result is that of
unison movement or operation. In other words, the fixtures will be slaved together
and all respond exactly the same.
4 APPENDIX
4.1 DMX Primer
There are 512 channels in a DMX-512 connection. Channels may be assigned in
any manner.A fixture capable of receiving DMX 512 will require one or a number of
sequential channels. The user must assign a starting address on the fixture that
indicates the first channel reserved in the controller.There are many different types of

2.2 General Overview
* The Controller is a universal intelligent lighting controller. It allows the control of
12 fixtures composed of 16 channels each and up to 240 programmable scenes.
Six chase banks can contain up to 240 steps composed of the saved scenes and
in any order. Programs can be triggered by music, midi,automatically or manually.
* On the surface you will find various programming tools such as 8 universal
channel sliders, a wheel and LCD display indicators for easier navigation of
controls and menu functions. You can control the pan and tilt of different intelligent
lighting fixtures using the same wheel at the same time by means of a
programmable wheel. This wheel allows the user to assign individual pan and tilt
channels for every fixture.

DMX-512 is an industry standard digital communication protocol used in
entertainment lighting equipment. For more information read Sections “DMX
Primer” and “DMX Control Mode” in the Appendix.
Fixture refers to your lighting instrument or other device such as a fogger or
dimmer of which you can control.
Programs are a bunch of scenes stacked one after another. It can be programmed
as either a single scene or multiple scenes in sequence.
Scenes are static lighting states.
Sliders also known as faders.
Chases can also be called programs. A chase consists of a bunch of scenes
stacked one after another.
Scanner refers to a lighting instrument with a pan and tilt mirror; however, in the
ILS-CON controller it can be used to control any DMX-512 compatible device as a
generic fixture.
MIDI is a standard for representing musical information in a digital format. A MIDI
input would provide external triggering of scenes using midi device such as a midi
keyboard.
4) Use the BANK UP/DOWN buttons to
navigate steps and locate the insert
point of the new scene. The display
will read the step number.
I.e. To insert a scene between Steps
05 and06 navigate using BANK
buttons until the display reads
STEP 05.
5) Press MIDI/REC button to prepare
the insert and LCD display STEP 06.
6) Use the BANK UP/DOWN button to
locate the SCENE.
7) Press the SCENE button that
corresponds to the scene to be
inserted.
8) Press MIDI/REC button to insert the
scene. All LEDs will blink.
Stand Alone refers to a fixture’s ability to function independently of an external
controller and usually in sync to music, due to a built in microphone.
Fade slider is used to adjust the time between scenes within a chase.
Speed slider affects the amount of time a scene will hold its state. It is also
considered a wait time.
Shutter is a mechanical device in the lighting fixture that allows you to block the
lights path. It is often used to lessen the intensity of the light output and to strobe.

Because not all intelligent lighting fixtures are alike or share the same control attributes,
the Controller allows the user to assign the wheel the correct pan and tilt channel for
every individual fixture including 16 bit channel assignments. It also allows the user to
re-assign physical faders to fixture DMX channels so that the user can combine or unify
control of similar or the same attributes across different types of fixtures.
