7. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out
periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency dep ends on the environment in
which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty surrounding can cause greater
accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.
y Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
y Always dry the parts carefully.
y Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at least every
30/60 days.

1. Safety Instruction
Please read the instruction carefully which including important
WARNING
y Please keep this User Manual for future consultation. If you sell the unit to another user,
be sure that they also receive this instruction booklet.
y Unpack and check carefully there is no transportation damage before using the unit.
y Before operating, ensure that the voltage and frequency of power supply match the
power requirements of the unit.
y It’s important to ground the yellow/green conductor to earth in order to avoid e lectric
shock.
y The unit is for indoor use only and use only in a dry location.
y The unit must be installed in a locati on with adequate ventilation, at least 50cm from
adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
y Disconnect mains power before fuse replacement or servicing.
y Replace fuse only with the same type.
y Make sure there are not flammable materials close to the unit while operating as it is fire
hazard.
y Use safety cable when fixes this unit.
y Maximum ambient temperature is TA: 40℃ and don’t operate it where the temperature
is higher than this.
y Unit surface temperature may reach up to 60℃. Don’t touch the housing bare-hand
during its operation. Turn the power off and wait for 15 minutes for cool down before
replacing bulb or serving.
y In the event of serious operating problem, stop using the unit immediately. Never try to
repair the unit by yourself. Repair carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or
malfunction. Please contact the nearest authorized technical assistance center and
always use the same type spare parts.
y Don’t connect the device to any dimmer pack or power pack.
y Do not touch any wire during operation as high voltage might be causing electric shock.

6. DMX 512 Connection
The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lightings and with a maximum of 512 channels.
1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin
adapter-cable.
2. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120
ohm 1/4W resistor between pin 2(DMX-) and pin 3(DMX+) into a 3-pin XLR-plug
and plug it in the DMX-output of the last unit.
3. Connect the unit together in a ‘daisy cha in’ by X LR plug from the output of the uni t
to the input of the next unit. The cable can not be branched or split to a ‘Y’ cable.
DMX 512 is a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, solder
joints or corroded connectors can easily distort the signal and shut down the
system.
4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX
circuit, when power is connected to the unit.
5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the
controller. The address number is between 0-512 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

built-in programmed lighting shows triggered by music.
• Please use a 3 pin XLR cable/plug when connecting them together.
• Fan cooled.
• 2 Channels
Channel 1 = Dimmer/Strobe
Channel 2 = Color
Channel 3 = Rotation
• Voltage: AC 100V-240V 50-60Hz
• Fuse: T500mA
• LED: 1 x 3W RGB LED
• Dimension: 202 x 141 x 194 mm
• Weight: 1kg
3. Installation
The unit should be mounted via its screw holes on the bracket. Always ensure that the unit is
firmly fixed to avoid vibration and slipping while operating. Always ensure that the structure
to which you are attaching the unit is secure and is able to support a weight of 10 times of
the unit’s weight. Also always use a safety cable that can hold 12 times of the weight of the
unit when installing the fixture.
The equipment must be fixed by professionals. And it must be fixed at a pl ace where is out
of the touch of people and has no one pass by or under it.

4. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave built-i n preprogram function
2. By easy controll er
3. By iLead controller (Please refer to the user guide of iLead) or universal DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX addres s
setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show 200S on the
display and move all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises
for about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the
built in programs.)
4. By DMX controll er
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
A. Master/Slave operation
The unit can be linked together in daisy chain as many as you need in master/slave mode to
perform the great built-in pre-programmed lighting shows triggered by music.
In Master/Slave mode refer to the DMX settings below:
Master unit: DMX start address MUST be set to 001. (First DIP switch = ON, all other
are OFF)
Slave units: DMX start address may have any value but NOT 001 (example: set the
first 3 DIP switches to ON)
﹡Dipswitch 2 “ON” has two functions:
1. Perform the built-in pre-pro gra mmed by music.
2. Auto mode: Eight Chase(At this mode press dip switch 3 will change the direction of
rotation，press dip switch 4,5,6 will change the speed)
﹡2-light show
Dipswitch 10 ”off” means the unit works normally and “on” means inversion. In order to
create a great light show, you can set dip switch 10 ”on” on any unit th at is linking to the
master unit to get contrast movement to the master unit, even if you have two units only.
Dipswitch 10 on the first ( Master ) unit is no use for the 2-light show as it is the master unit
that operates the light show.
4.2. Easy Controller (by CA-8)
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. There is a terminator for
connect the easy controller inside the fixture. By connecting the cable into DMX IN
waterproof cable entry gland to the CA-8 terminator of the first fixture, you will find that the
remote control on the first fixture will control all the other fixtures for Stand by, F unction and
Mode functions.

4.3 iSolution Operation
♦ Consistent DMX configuration enable iMove to be linked together with iRock and iShow
and controlled at the same time.
♦ DMX address can be set remotely by iLead controller (Please refer to the user ma nual
of iLead controller). No need to calculate the DMX channels of each fixture in the chain.
♦ Automatic switching between DMX function and built-in stand alone programs.
4.4 DMX Controller
When using a universal DMX controller to control the chain of units, you have to set DMX
address by Dip switches from 1 to 9 to make sure all the units will receive its DMX signal.
Please refer to the following diagram to know how to address your DMX 512 system in the
binary code.
