4. How to Control the Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. By easy controller
3. By DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address setting will
be affected at once. Each time you turn the unit on, it will show “MB8FC” on the display. After that
the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built in programs.
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
By linking the units together in master/slave, the first unit (the master) will control the other units
(the slave) to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good
when you want an instant show.
To set the first unit as a master, press the ENTER button to show the SHOW MODE on the display.
Now use the DOWN and UP buttons up to select the Show 1, Show 2, Show 3 or Show 4 and the
master LED will be constantly lit and the sound LED will flash to the music. To set the unit as a
slave, press the ENTER button to show SLAVE MODE on the display. Now use the DOWN and UP
buttons up to select Slave 1 (normal) and Slave 2(2 light show) mode, and the SLAVE LED will be
constantly lit.
4.2 Easy Controller
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. By connecting to the
1/4” microphone jack of the first unit, you will find that the remote controller on the
first unit will control all the other units for Stand by, Function and Mode selection.

6. DMX Connection
1. At last unit, the DMX cable has to be terminated with a terminator. Solder a 120-o h m 1/4 W
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.
2. Connect the unit together in a “daisy chain” by XLR plug cable from the output of the unit to
the input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. DMX 512 is a
very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables, soldered joints or corroded connectors
can easily distort the signal and shut down the system.
3. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when
one of the units’ power is disconnected.
4. Each lighting unit needs to have a DMX address to receive the data by the controller. The
address number is between 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).
5. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.
6. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pins XLR.
3 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)
16C
5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+), Pin4, Pin5 not used.
7. Troubleshooting
Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are some
suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
A. The fixture does not work, no light
1. Check the connection of power and main fuse.
2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.
B. Not responding to DMX controller
1. DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if link properly.
2. If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the address settings and DMX
polarity.
3. If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on connectors or on PCB of the
fixture or the previous one.
4. Try to use another DMX controller.
5. Check if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may cause
damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.
C. Some fixtures don’t respond to the easy controller
1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling.
2. Check the LED for the response of the master/ slave mode signal.
D. No response to the sound
1. Make sure the fixture does not receive DMX signal.
2. Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone.
E. One of the channels is not working well
1. The stepper motor might be damaged or the cable connected to the PCB is broken.
17C
2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.
8. Fixture Cleaning
The cleaning must be carried out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency
depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: moist, smoky or particularly dirty
surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the fixture.
Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid.
Always dry the parts carefully.
Clean the external optics at least every 30 days.
