channel so that the units can receive DMX signal.
Press the MENU button up to when the is showing on the display. Pressing ENTER button
and the display will blink. Use DOWN and UP button to change the DMX512 address. Once the

4.3 DMX 512 Configuration
4/5/7 Channels Mode:

15B
5. DMX512 Connections
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter-cable.
2. Connect the unit together in a `daisy chain` by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the
input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 is a very
high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors can
easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when
one of the units’power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the controller. The
address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.

16B
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin 4/Pin 5: Not
used.
6. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
Problem Possible Cause Action
Incorrect power cable
connection.
Check the connection of power.
The unit does not work, no light.
Incorrect mains voltage. Measure the mains voltage
on the main connector.
Incorrect DMX cable
connection.
Check DMX connectors and
cables to see if link properly.
Repair or replace damaged wires
.
Incorrect address assignment to
the units.
Check the addresses of the units
and the protocol settings.
Unfinished data connection. Insert a terminal plug in the
output jack of the last unit of the
connection.
It has been set up an operating
mode different from the DMX
mode used.
Check the operating mode set up
.
The unit does not respond
properly to the DMX control.
Try to use another DMX
controller.

7. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of outside glass must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning
frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly
dirty surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture’s optics.
yClean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
yAlways dry the parts carefully.
yClean the external optics at least every 20 days.
