1. Safety Instruction
You have to carefully read the instruction, which includes
important information about the installation, operation and
maintenance.
• Please keep this User Guide for future consultation. If you sell the unit
to another user, be sure that he also receives this instruction booklet
thus giving them the necessary information about the use and general
warnings regarding the unit.
• Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before
using the unit.
• Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply
match the power requirements of the unit as stated in this manual.
• It’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to
avoid electric shock.
• The unit is for indoor use only. Use it only in a dry location. Exposing the
device to rain or moisture would cause the risk of electrical shock or re.
Maximum ambient temperature is 40°C. Don’t operate it in locations
where the temperature is higher than this.
• The unit must be installed in a location with adequate ventilation, at
least 15 cm from adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are
blocked. The electrical work that is necessary for installation must done
by qualied personnel.
• Check the surrounding area and make sure there are no ammable
liquids, water or metal objects that could enter the xture. If a foreign
object or substance enters the unit, immediately disconnect the mains
power.
• Disconnect the device from the mains power before any servicing or
maintenance.
• In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit
immediately. Never try to repair the unit by yourself. Repairs carried out
by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Please contact
the nearest authorized technical assistance centre. Always use the
same type spare parts.
• There are no user serviceable parts inside the xture. Do not open the
housing or attempt any repairs by yourself. If the xture shows any visible
damage or in the unlikely event, that your xture may require service,
please contact your nearest dealer. Always use genuine spare parts.
• Do not connect the device to any dimmer pack.
• Do not look directly at the LED light beam while the xture is on.

3. How To Control The Fixture
There are three ways to operate the unit:
A. In Master/Slave operation
B. As an universal DMX controller
C. Via Easy controller (Pocket master I)
A.Master/Slaveoperation
The xture will allow you to link the other xtures together and operate
without a controller. In Master/Slave mode, the rst xture will control the
others to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show.
This function is good when you want an instant show.
The rst xture has to be set in master mode, its DMX input socket must
be unplugged, and the other xtures must be set in slave mode. The DMX
input socket of each slave unit must be connected to the DMX output of
the respective previous xture by DMX cable. Any xture can be set as a
master or as a slave.
InMaster/SlavemoderefertotheDMXsettingsbelow:
Master unit: DMX start address MUST be set to 001. (rst DIP switch =
ON, all others are OFF)
Slave units: DMX start address may have any value EXCEPT 001
(example: set the rst 3 DIP switches to ON)
*2-light show
DIP switch 10 “off” means the unit works normally and “on” means
inversion. In order to create a great light show, you can set DIP switch 10
“on” on any unit that is linking to the master unit to get contrast movement
to the master unit, even if you have two units only. DIP switch 10 on the
rst (Master) unit is of no use for the 2-light show as it is the master unit
that operates the light show.
B. Universal DMX controller
When using an universal DMX controller to control the chain of units, you
have to set the DMX addresses by DIP switches from 1 to 9 to make sure
all the units will receive its DMX signal.
Please refer to the following diagram to learn how to address your DMX
512 system in the binary code.
