Thank you for purchasing the Talent RGBW Mini Moving Head Lighting Fixture. Please
read this user guide for safety and operation information before using the product.
Safety Instructions
•PleasekeepthisUserManualforfutureconsultation.Ifyousellthexture,besureto
includethisinstructionbooklettoensurepropermaintenanceanduse.
•Unpackandcheckcarefullyfortransportationdamagebeforeusingthexture.
•Beforeoperating,ensurethatthepowersupplyvoltageandfrequencymatchthe
powerofyourelectricalsystem.
•It’simportanttoconnecttheyellow/greenconductortogroundtoavoidelectricshock.
•Disconnectmainpowerbeforeservicingandmaintenance.
•Useasafetycablewhenpermanentlymountingthisxture.Alwayshandlethexture
withcare.
•Maximumambienttemperatureis104°F.
•Intheeventofaseriousoperatingproblem,stopusingthextureimmediately.Please
contactthedealerfromwhomyoupurchasedthexture,thenearestauthorized
technicalrepairfacility,orTalentSound&Lightingdirectly.
•Donotconnectthedevicetoanydimmerpack.
•
Donottouchexposedwiresduringuse,astheremightbeahazardofelectricalshock.
•Topreventorreducetheriskofelectricalshockorre,donotexposethextureto
rainormoisture.
•Thexturemustbereplacedifthereisvisibledamagetothehousing.
•DonotlookdirectlyattheLEDlightbeamwhilethextureison.
Warning:Pleasereadtheinstructionscarefully.Theyincludeimportantinformation
aboutinstallation,operation,andmaintenance.Donotconnectmorethan16unitsin
series(daisy-chaining)onasinglepowercircuit.
Caution:Therearenouserserviceablepartsinsidethexture.Donotopenthe
housingorattemptanyrepairsyourself.Intheunlikelysituationyourunitmayrequire
service,pleasecontactyourdealerorTalentSound&Lighting.
DMX512 Connections
DMX512isawidelyusedprotocolforintelligentlightingcontrol,with512available
channels.EvenifyoudonotwishtooperateyourTalentlightingxtureviaan
outboardDMXcontroller,utilizingthemaster/slavemodewillstillrequireunit-to-unit
connectionbyproperDMXcables.
Caution:Commonmicrophonecablesmaybeusedtoconnectsmallnumbers
ofDMXxturesovershortdistances,butoffertheriskoferraticoperation.Useof
correctDMXcablesgreatlyreducesdataerrorscausedbyimproperconnection.
•Ifyouareusingacontrollerwith5-pinDMXoutput,usea5-pinto3-pinadaptercable.
•Connectxturestogetherina“daisychain”byconnectingtheDMXoutputoftherst
xturetotheDMXinputofthenextxture.Thiscablecannotbebranchedorsplitby
a“Y”cable.Inadequateordamagedcables,badsolderjoints,orcorrodedconnectors
caneasilydistortthesignal,causeerrors,andshutdownthesystem.Neverallow
contactbetweenthedatacommon/shieldconnection(XLRPin1)andthexture’s
chassis/electricalground.
•TheDMXoutputandinputconnectorsarepass-throughtomaintaintheDMXcircuitif
powertooneoftheunitsisdisconnected.
•Onthelastxture,theDMXoutputshouldbeterminatedwithaterminatortoreduce
signalerrors.Soldera120ohm1/4wattresistorbetweenpin2(DMX-)andpin3
(DMX+)ona3-pinXLRplugandconnectittotheDMXoutputofthelastxture.

Modes of Operation
YourTalentSound&Lightingxturemaybeoperatedasastand-alonedevicethat
runsonpre-programmedroutinesorsoundactivation,inmaster/slavemodewith
otherdevices,orviaanexternalDMX512controller.InDMXmodeitiscongurableto
becontrolledby7or14channelsofanoutboardDMXcontroller.
Besidessoundactivationandautomaticmodesofstand-aloneoperation,thereare
twomainwaystocontrolthexture:
A. Universal DMX controller
Thisxture’sDMXaddresscanbesetremotelybyauniversalDMXcontroller.
First,youneedtoprogramtwoscenesintoachase,andthenlinkthexturestothe
universalDMXcontroller.Whenyourunthechase,thexturesinthechainwillsetthe
seriesDMXaddressautomatically.Eachlightingxtureneedstohaveanaddressset
wheninDMXmode,toreceivethedatasentbythecontroller.Theaddressnumberis
between0-511(usually0&1areequalto1).
B. Master/Slave operation
Thextureallowsyoutolinkasmanyas16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forwhen
youwantaninstantperformance.Therst,ormaster,xture’sDMXinputwillhave
nothingconnectedtoit.Itsoutputconnectstotheslavextures.

Troubleshooting
Herearesometroubleshootingsuggestions:
A. The xture does not work, there is no light output.
1.)Checktheconnectionofpowerandmainfuse.
2.)Measurethevoltageoutputonyourpowerreceptacletoensurepropervoltage.
B. Fixture does not respond to DMX control.
1.)DMXLEDshouldbeon.Ifnot,checkDMXconnectorsandcablesforproper
connection.
2.)IfDMXLEDisonbutnotrespondingtoachannel,checktheDMXaddress
 settingsandDMXpolarity.
3.)IfyouhaveintermittentDMXsignalproblems,checkthepinsonthecable
 connectorsandonthexture.
4.)TrytouseadifferentDMXcontroller.
5.)InterferencemayoccurifDMXcablesarerunalongsidehighvoltagecables.
C. Fixture responds erratically to DMX control.
1.)YoumayhaveabreakintheDMXcabling.ChecktheLEDfortheresponseof
 themaster/slavemodesignal.
2.)WrongDMXaddressinthexture.Setthexturetotheproperaddress.
3.)UseofmicrophonecablesforDMXconnectionscancauseerrors
D. The xture doesn’t respond to sound.
1.)MakesurethextureisnotsettoreceiveaDMXsignal.
2.)Checkthexture’sinternalmicrophonebytappingthemicrophone.
DMX General Information
TheDMX512digitalcommunicationprotocolwasintroducedtocontrolstagelighting
and special effects.
TheDMXstandardfeatures512availablechannels,andtheyareassignableinany
sequencethatconformstotheuser’sneeds.EachDMX-capablexturerequires
oneormoresequentialchannels.Astartingaddress,whichindicatestherstcontrol
channelreservedforthatparticularxture,mustbeassignedtothexturebefore
thecontrollercanrecognizeit.DMXcontrollablexturesmayvaryinthenumberof
channelstheyrequire,dependingonthexturesfeaturesand/orfunctionality.
Channelsshouldneverbepermittedtooverlap;otherwise,forexample,afaderthat
controlsblueoutputononexturemaycausestrobingordimmingonanadjacent,
incorrectlyassignedxture.Multiplexturesofthesametypethatuseanidentical
startingaddresswillfunctioninunison.Fixturesassignedproperlyspacedstarting
addresseswilloperateindividually,butaDMXcontrollerwithsufcientchannelscan
beconguredtorunthesesamextureseithercombinedorindependently.
ThesequenceinwhichDMXxturesareconnectedhasnoeffectonhowacontroller
communicateswitheachindividuallightingxture.Although3-pinXLRmiccables
maybeusedtoconnectDMXxturesovershortruns,longerdistanceswillintroduce
dataerrorsduetothemiccable’sincorrectimpedance.Forbestresults,Talent
Sound&Lightingrecommendstheuseofcorrect120ohm,low-capacitance,twisted
paircabledesignedfortheDMX512protocol.Itisalsosuggestedthatatermination
resistorplugbeusedontheoutputconnectorofthelastxtureinanarrayofDMX
instruments.Thisresistanceensuresproperdatatransmission.
