PANEL REVIEW
Press FUN button: Switch to function menu or return to previous menu
Press UP/DOWN: Adjusts the currently activated field. The four points will blink indicating
a value change.
Press ENTER: Enter into sub-menu or confirm the current value.
INSTALLATION AND SETTING
1. MULTI-FIXTURES CONNECTION
DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain
connection is where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next
fixture. The order in which the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on
how a controller communicates to each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest
and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable
with three pin XLR male to female connectors.
The shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive
(S+).

2. LAMP BODY INSTALLATION
Notes: do not install it nearby the curtain or flammable materials.
Only for indoor use.
OPERATION
1.SET DIPSWITCHES
■Each fixture occupies 6 DMX channels.
■DMX 512 signal can control multi-fixtures together, however you must set the DMX
address of each lamp first. Different DMX address will lead to different movements.
■You can set DMX address from 1~506 on the multi-function display panel.
■Switch on power supply and after finishing resetting, the panel will show 001,that is to
say DMX address is 1 and the first lamp has been controlled by 1~6 channels. In turn the
second fixture has been controlled by 007~012 channels. (When panel shows 001,press
UP button until it shows 007.Then just press ENTER button). In the same way, the third
fixture has been controlled by 013~018 channels and the panel shows013.
■Through this method, you can control multi-fixtures to perform different movements.
