Operating instructions

DMX mode:
Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the fixture and each fixture independently.
To access the DMX address mode, press the “MENU” button on the top of the unit to show on the LED display. Now press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to set the required DMX address. Press the “ENTER” button to confirm the setting.
To exit out of any of the above options, press the “MENU” button.

4 channel mode:

Manual mode:
To access the manual mode, press the “MENU” button on the top of the unit to show on the LED display. Now press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select the strobe speed between Press the “ENTER” button to confirm the setting.
Now press the “MENU” button and will be displayed. Now press the “ENTER” button and use the “UP” and “DOWN” buttons to select the dimming between . Repeat for (Rotation direction),
(Pattern change speed) and (Rotation speed).
To exit out of any of the above options, press the “MENU” button.

DMX setup

Setting the DMX address:
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start address” from 1- 512. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.

DMX 512:
DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data instructions form the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DMX linking:
DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and the controller are DMX compliant. 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 to 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.
DATA cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
This fixture can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX address is set on the back of the unit.
Your unit and your DMX controller require a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output, see image below.

Further DMX cables can be purchased from all good sound and lighting suppliers or Pro Light Concepts dealers.
Please quote:
CABL10 – 2m
CABL11 – 5m
CABL12 – 10m

Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and cannot be split.

Notice:
Be sure to follow the diagrams below when making your own cables. Do not connect the cables shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to come in contact with the XLRs outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a short circuit and erratic behaviour.

Special note:
Line termination:
When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the last unit to avoid erratic behaviour.
Using a cable terminator will decrease the possibilities of erratic behaviour.
(3-pin – Order ref: CABL9O, 5-pin – Order ref: CABL89)

| Termination reduces signal transmission problems and interference. it is always advisable to connect a DMX terminal, (resistance 120 Ohm 1/4 W) between pin 2 (DMX-) and pin 3 (DMX+) of the last fixture.

5-pin XLR DMX connectors:
Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used. The diagram below details the correct cable conversion.
