•Instructions
The Sparkular system has two main components. The Sparkular head BT02 and the Host Control
Console ZK6200. The BT02 has all safety features built into the smart feedback protocol that is
readable on the Sparkular machine as well as the Host control console.*Please note that if the
K6200 or the Pro controller is not used and another DMX console is used the read out function
for the console will not be able to be used.
The following descriptions will help to learn the operation and function of the working of both
the Sparkular head and the host controller.
•Brief introduction of the functions
•The Controlling Signal of International Standard: DMX 512
•Fixture uses Two Channels (Channel 1 controls effect & height 2 controls the Pre-Heat and Safety
feature).
•Adjustable Effect Height.
•Continuous feedback Protection for Overheating, redundant safeties for heat protection.
•Due to the onboard data transmission and logic integration of the operating system the Host
Controller supplies a continuous readout while the system is on.

DMX512 Signal Link:
Using DMX512 signal controlling mode and the controlling signals among each equipment are connected
in parallel, so it’s better to use shielded twisted paired cables when connecting many equipment together.
Each equipment is connected together through the DMX signal sockets (XLR connector) Input and
output, and the three pin XLRXL plug terminals connecting the equipment must be corresponding to each
other. When connecting to the device signals, it’s suggested to terminate the DMX signal so as to avoid
decaying the signal strength caused by the signal reflection. DMX signal terminator is a resistance of 102
ohms/1w connecting the number two and three pins on the XLR plug, the resistance is connected to the
output socket of the last device.
The definition of Three Pin XLRXL Plug: 1 Signal Ground line; 2 Signal-; 3 Signal+
Note:
•After the equipment starts up, it first needs to warm up. When the READY sign lights up, it indicates that
the equipment is ready. You can operate the effect machine.
•No foreign material (flammable) is allowed to cover the surface of the equipment, so as not to affect its
cooling or impede the operation of the fountain. Do not place anything on sides or top that would impede
cooling.
Operation Panel:
a. LCD information display area, showing action menu and operating status of the equipment.
b. LED Displaying Area：

READY: Flashing shows that the system is preparing, Solid Light shows that the system can
operate.
DMX: Flashing shows that the DMX signal is connected, no display shows that there is none
connected.
FAULT: Sign will light up when any error is detected.
HEAT : Sign will light up when the system is heating.
a. Control Button Area：
MENU: entering into the menu select
DOWN: parameter reduction
UP: parameter increase
ENTER: confirm and save all parameters
a. Interface and Plugging Area：
POWER IN: 110VAC Power Voltage Input
POWER OUT: 110VAC Power Voltage Switching Output
DMX IN: DMX Communication Signal Input
DMX OUT: DMX Communication Signal Switching Output
a. Radio Frequency Identification Area：
The Product Identification card/emblem attached to the spark granules determines the parameter
and type of the product that is identified through swiping the card.
Please note that the card enables the unit for 15-25 minutes of operation (which is the amount of
time each batch will last). The card supplied only works once and is unusable after it has been
swiped.
Interface
•Main Interface：
•Displays DMX Address.
•Displays the present temperature of the inner core.
•Displays the error information when it happens.
