DMX Address Setting
In order to control devices individually, each device must be set with a specific starting address. When receiving signal transmission, the devices will receive channel control signals from the first address.
For different applications, the user can set multiple devices to the same address or set a different address for each device.
If the same address is set on multiple devices, these devices will receive data from the specified DMX channel. All connected devices will be jointly controlled. The controller cannot control each device individually.
If each device is set to a different address, the controller can control each device individually at its starting address.
Use of this method should be based on the number of channels used on devices to determine a starting address.
This device has 10 channels. When you use 10CH, you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit to 11(10+1), the third unit to 21 (11+10) and so on.

10 CH for example

IMPORTANT MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

When installing this equipment, make sure the distance between the fixture and the lighted object is not less than 0.5 meters. Keep combustible and/or explosive materials away from this unit.
Ensure proper cooling of the unit by ensuring there are no obstructions of air flow around the unit. Always use the unit in a ventilated space, away from external heat sources.
For safety, connection to earth ground on the power line must be maintained.
Before placing, installing, rigging, or suspending any product, inspect all hardware, suspension, brackets and associated equipment for damage. Any missing, corroded, deformed, or non-load rated component could significantly reduce the strength of the installation, placement or array. Any such condition severely reduces the safety of the installation and should be immediately corrected. Use only hardware which is rated for the loading conditions of the installation and any possible short-term, unexpected overloading. Never exceed the rating of the hardware or equipment. Consult a licensed, Professional Engineer regarding physical equipment installation. Ensure that all local, state and national regulations regarding the safety and operation of equipment are understood and adhered to.
Mounting Clamp Installation Instruction
If you wish to mount the Polaris 2 Multi-Color LED DJ Light to a truss, use a mounting clamp (not included) for maximum security.

Install the mounting bracket (included in the unit), and tighten the adjustment knobs on the side of the unit before installing the clamp.
Install the clamp. Add a drop of thread-lock adhesive on the threads of the bolt to keep it from coming loose. Tighten the nut to full strength.
Before mounting or suspending your light to any fixture, do a shake test to make sure all mechanical connections are secure and there are no loose parts.
Mount your light to the truss. Add a drop of thread-lock adhesive on the threads of the clamp bolt, and tighten the wing nut to full strength.
Use a galvanized steel wire of sufficient strength to attach the eyebolt on the unit to the truss (see below). Adjust the length of the steel wire to be a little longer than the distance from the truss to the bottom of the unit. This will allow the lights to be slightly adjusted after mounting is completed.
Tighten the adjustment knobs (step 1) again, as the installation process may loosen the knobs.
Do the shake test again to make sure the unit is securely mounted.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

ALWAYS mount the light to a secure approved truss with sufficient load bearing capability to ensure a safe installation.
ALWAYS use a galvanized steel wire as a secondary safeguard to prevent injury to property or persons in case the primary mounting mechanism fails. 12 gauge stranded steel utility wire will serve as an adequate safety cable for the ORION products lights weighing less than 12 kg / 25 lbf.
This secondary safety attachment must not interfere with positioning of the light.
ALWAYS ensure C-clamps are fully tightened with thread-lock adhesive and properly orient the C- clamps for maximum security;
ALWAYS perform periodic safety inspections to ensure the installation is safe and secure
Improper installation can result in bodily injury or death. If you are not qualified to attempt the installation get help from a professional structural rigger.
