HOW TO SELECT FUNCTIONS:
DMX Receipt Mode:
Flip DIP Switch #11 to “OFF”, the xture is now in DMX receipt mode. DIP Switch #1 through #9 set the DMX address
of the fixture.
Auto Mode:
When using one fixture only, put DIP switch #11 “ON”. This places the unit into Stand Alone Auto Mode. Flip DIP Switches
#1 through #6 to the “ON” position to activate built-in programs. To adjust the speed of the program refer to the chart below
and turn “ON” corresponding DIP Switch for desired speed. DIP Switches #7 through #9 are used in combinations of ON/
OFF states to adjust playback speed.
When using more than one fixture you will need to set the first fixture in the series as the Master and the subsequent
ones as slaves.
IMPORTANT
Connect all fixtures to the master in a series using standard DMX 3-Pin XLR cables. Set all DIP switches properly as
shown below.
You should not run Auto Modes when connected in the same data line as DMX operated fixtures as addition data sent
from the Master may impede the functionality of your DMX fixtures.
To Set the Master, turn DIP switch #11 ON and #10 OFF. Turn on DIP switch #1 through #6 to run the preprogrammed
sequences stored in the xture. DIP Switches #7 through #9 are used in combinations of ON/OFF states to adjust
playback speed.
To set the units to Slave, turn OFF switch #11. The SLAVE unit will then receive its control signal from the Master as long
as it is connected to a properly configured Master.

SOUND ACTIVE MODE
When using one fixture only, put DIP switch #11 “ON”: This places the unit into Stand Alone Sound Active Mode and select
DIP Switches 1-6 to the “ON” position to activate built in programs. To adjust the speed of the program refer to the chart
below and turn “ON” corresponding DIP Switch for desired speed. DIP Switches #7 through #9 are used in combinations
of ON/OFF states to adjust playback speed.

Check the control cable from the controller and along the chain. Check for a bad
connection or a bad cable. Check that pin 1 goes to pin 1, 2 to 2 and 3 to 3. Check that
the terminator plug is correctly attached at the end of the chain (100 Ohm across pins
2 & 3 of XLR connector) Check that the DMX address is set to the required channel.
Check that the motors can move freely and are not hindered. If they seem to be
working properly, contact your dealer.
