is Auto power supply, It is workable in 100-250V/50~60Hz. Please make sure your unit voltage matches the wall outlet voltage before
attempting to operate you fixture.
Connection to the mains
For protection from electric shock, the fixture must be earthed!
Install a suitable plug on the power cord, note that the cores in the power cord are colored according to the following table. The earth
has to be connected!
If you have any doubts about proper installation, consult a qualified electrician.

DMX512 connection
The fixture is equipped with both 3-pin and 5-pin XLR sockets for DMX input and output. The sockets are wired in parallel.
Only use a shielded twisted-pair cable designed for RS-485 and 3-or 5-pin XLR-plugs and connectors in order to connect the controller
with the fixture or one fixture with another.
DMX-output DMX-input
XLR mounting-sockets (rear view): XLR mounting-plugs (rear view):
DMX Linking: To ensure proper DMX data transmission, when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible.
The order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX addressing. For example; a fixture assigned a DMX
address of 1 may be placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the middle. When a fixture is assigned
a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is located in the
DMX chain.
Building a serial DMX-chain:
Connect the DMX-output of the first fixture in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next fixture. Always connect one output with the
input of the next fixture until all fixtures are connected.
Caution: At the last fixture, the DMX-cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120Ω resistor between Signal (－) and

4
Signal (＋) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the DMX-output of the last fixture.
Operating Modes: You can use the fixture in 3 ways:
⚫Auto Mode - The unit will automatically chase through the different colors and built-in programs.
⚫Slave Mode –The unit will run under slave mode.
⚫DMX control mode - This function will allow you to control each individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller.
⚫
DMX Mode: Operating through a DMX controller give the user the freedom to create their own programs tailored to their own individual
needs. This function also allows you to use your fixtures as spot lights.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s traits with a standard DMX 512 controller.
2. The fixture has 16/24 two DMX channels to operate. Please see “DMX Values and Functions” for the DMX traits.
3. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX controller. Set your desired DMX
address following the setup specifications that come with your DMX controller.
Hanging Drawing:
CAUTION!
Use an appropriate clamp to ring the fixture on the truss.
Follow the instructions mentioned at the bottom of the base.
Make sure that the device is fixed properly! Ensure that the structure (truss) to which you are attaching the fixtures is secure.

Cleaning
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning the internal and external optical lenses must be carried out periodically to optimize light
output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the outside casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every 20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates (i.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew).

10
Unit not responds to DMX:
1. Check that the DMX cables are connected properly and are wired correctly (pin 3 is “hot”; on some other DMX devices pin 5 may
be ‘hot’). Also, check that all cables are connected to the right connectors; it does matter which way the inputs and outputs are
connected.
