Unpacking
1pc Fixture
1pc User Manual
Thanks for choosing our LED strobe serial products. Carefully unpack the box and
check the contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good conditions. If
anything damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing
material for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a
fixture must be returned to manufacturer, it is important that the fixture be returned in
the original manufacturer box and packing.
Safety
Instruction
Please conserve this manual as operation guidance. If you sell this product to other
user, please make sure that they also receive this user manual.
" Always make sure that you are connecting to the proper voltage and that the line
voltage you are connecting to is not higher than that stated on the decal or rear
panel of the fixture.
" If the fixture is intended to indoor use only. To prevent risk of fire or shock, do not
expose fixture to rain or moisture. Make sure there are no flammable, explosive or
corrosive materials surrounded in 10 meters while operating.
" The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at least 5 m away
from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
" Some fixture may carry high heat, do not aim at objective more than 2 minutes.
" Safe rope should be used to install machine. Bearing of safe rope should be more
than 3 times of the machine weight. Complimentary signal cable transmits signals
to 20 unit fixtures at most. Signal amplifier is a must to connect more fixtures. And a
terminal should be added at the end of last fixtures’ DMX sockets, 120 Ohm, 1/4W
resistance need welding between Pin 2 and Pin 3.
For your safe, please read this user manual carefully before turn on
the fixture. This machine should be operated by qualified engineer！

" Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing fuse/lamp
and be sure to replace with same fuse/lamp size and type. Cut off power before
moving, repairing and cleaning the machine.
" To avoid electric shock, all fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable
earth connection.
" Always secure fixture using a safety chain and carrying handles.
" Do not operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104℉(40℃).
" The power cable for this fixture is 1 ㎡， please mind the safety requirements in
actual using, if any wrong operation, our company takes no responsibility for any
loss. Also, make sure the power cord is never crimped or damaged.
" In case of failure or mis-function occurred, stop using immediately. Never try to
repair the fixture by yourself. Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to
damage or malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance
center. Buy the same spare parts/components from manufacturer directly.
" Avoid direct eye exposure to the light source while it is on.
" Do not power on and power off the fixture frequently
" When use DMX controller, please make sure that there is no interference
sources(e.g. intercom, high frequency radio waves and radiation source)
Caution! There are no user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not open the
housing or attempt any repairs yourself. In the unlikely event your unit may require
service, please contact your local distribution or after-sale service center.

Cable Connectors
Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other
end.
A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol, however errors still
occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best practices include use
of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with erratic fixture
behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve performance.
To b uil d y ou r own DM X Te rm in ato r: Obtain a 120-ohm, 1/4-watt resistor, and wire it between
pins 2&3 of the last fixture. They are also readily available from specialty retailers.
Master and slave: select one machine as master, press the menu to choose the
function you want. Press other machines’ address to be DMX state. Use signal
cable to connect machines one by one. Then slave machines will run the same
as master machine.
Use controller to control lot of machines: if all machines are set the same menu
data, or different manual data, after use signal cable to connect to controller, all
machines will be controlled by controller. (before connect to controller, all
machines should be in the same channel mode 9 CH,7 CH or 2 CH).
