Introduction
Thankyou foryourpurchase ofthisqualityStellarLabslightingproduct.
TheStellarLabsHighPowerLEDPARLamphas beenspecifically
designedtoincorporatefeatures and performance thatprofessionaldemand,
withstraightforwardfunctionalitythatenables out-of-theboxoperation by
firsttimeusers. It ishighlyrecommendedthatyou readthisdocumentto
ensurefull understandingofthedevices operation andfeatures.
Operation
Thisunit maybeoperatedinoneofthefollowingmodes:
Standalonemode:Utilizingnumerousbuiltinlightingprogramsand its
internalmicrophoneforsoundactivation.
Slavemode:Connectedtoanotherlamp,mirroringtheoperationofthat
lampinStandalonemode.
ExternalDMXcontrol:Alsoinslavemode, withcontrolbeing
accomplishedbyanindustrystandardDMX-512controller.
Initially Powering theUnit
Uponinitialpowerup, theunit will displayAddr.PressingMENU will
displayoneoftheDMXchannelmodes (A, PorF),andthedefault DMX
address 001. Notethatthedisplaywill onlyremainlit foraperiodof
approximately20 seconds. Thispreventsthebrightness oftheLEDdisplay
frominterferingwithscenery. Pressinganybuttonwill relightthedisplay.
Operating Modes
Asmentionedabove, thestand-alonemodeutilizes multipleinternal

operatinginthismanner, theunit isalsooperatingas aDMX“master”, in
thatanyconnectedPARlampsin“Slave” modewill mimictheoperation
ofthislamp. Byplacingthislampin“Slave” mode, it allowsit tobe
controlledbyanotherlamp, orDMXcontroller.

DMX-512 Cables
DMXcables utilize 110ohm, twistedpair construction, surroundedbya
shield, and connectedwithindustrystandardXLRconnectors. Industry
standardcables areavailablein3-pinor5-pinconfigurations. Thisfixture
utilizes the3-pintype.Whilethese cables appearvirtuallythesameas

cables isnotrecommendedas theymaycause erraticintermittently
unreliableperformance. ProperDMXcables arewidelyavailableat
professionalaudiodealers, and highqualityStellarLabsDMXcables are
availablefromMCM Electronics and itsauthorizeddealers.
