SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

CAUTION!
Be careful with your operations. With a dangerous voltage, you can suffer a dangerous electric shock when touching the wires!
Keep this device away from rain and moisture!
Unplug mains lead before opening the housing!
For your own safety, please read this user manual carefully before your initial start-up.

Features:
Four operation modes: DMX 512 protocol, auto, and master/slave, and sound active operating in various modes to form different led effects
DMX-512 connection / connection between fixtures
Occupation of the XLR-connection:
If you are using controllers with this occupation, you can connect the DMX- output of the controller directly with the DMX input of the first fixture in the DMX chain. If you wish to connect DMX controllers with other XLR-outputs, you need to use adapter cables. 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 120 resistor between Signal (–) and Signal (+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug and plug it in the
DMX-output of the last fixture. Connection with the mains
Connect the device to the mains with the enclosed power supply cable.

OPERATION

1. DMX 512 protocol
   Addressing
   The LED DISPLAY on the rear side of the base allows you to assign the DMX fixture address, which is defined as the first channel from which the item will respond to the controller. If you set, for example, the address to channel 7, the item will use channels 7 to 14 for control. Please, be sure that you don’t have any overlapping channels in order to control each item correctly and independently from any other fixture on the DMX data link. If two, three, or more items are addressed similarly, they will work similarly. At DMX mode you can choose the address from 1 to 512. After you connect the item to the mains, the item starts running. When the item finishes resetting, d-OO1 will flash in the led display and then set the desired DMX address by pressing the UP or DOWN buttons.
