Adjust the desired inclination angle via the mounting bracket and tighten the bracket screws.
Make sure there is no flammable material within a 0.5 m radius of the device.
Have a qualified electrician carry out the electric connection.
Connect the device to the mains with the power plug. All devices must be powered directly off a
grounded switched circuit and cannot be run off a rheostat or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or
dimmer channel is used solely for 0 % to 100 % switching.
The installation has to be approved by an expert before the device is taken into service.
DMX-512 Connection
When applicable, connect an XLR cable to the female XLR output of a controller (not incl.) and the
other side to the male XLR input [4] of the device. Multiple devices can be linked through serial
linking. The linking cable should be a dual core, screened cable with XLR input and output
connectors.
Maximum recommended serial data link distance is 500 meters (1640 ft). Maximum recommended
number of devices on a serial data link is 32 devices.
A DMX terminator is recommended for installations where the DMX cable has to run a long distance
or is in an electrically noisy environment (e.g. discos). The terminator prevents corruption of the
digital control signal by electrical noise. The DMX terminator is simply an XLR plug with a 120 Ω
resistor between pins 2 and 3, which is then plugged into the XLR output socket [4] of the last
device in the chain.
7. Operation
The device can be used in the following modes:
stand-alone mode
master/slave
with a DMX512 controller.
7.1 Control Panel Navigation
Access the control panel functions using the four panel buttons [2] located directly underneath the
display [1]. From left to right:

The control panel display shows the menu items you select from the menu map. When a menu
function is selected, the display will show immediately the first available option for the selected menu
function. To select a menu item, press ENTER.
Use the UP and DOWN buttons to navigate the menu map and menu options. Press ENTER to access
the menu function currently displayed or to enable a menu option. To return to the previous option or
menu without changing the value, press the MENU button.
7.2 Stand-Alone Mode
In stand-alone mode, the device can operate as follows:
with a static, predefined colour
with a static, custom colour
with switching colours
with fading colours
as a strobe light.
Note: Make sure to unplug any connection from the DMX input of the device if you want to use it in
stand-alone mode. A device in stand-alone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the
DMX signals from the controller.
