Operation and mounting
To activate the device, plug it into a mains socket. Once it's connected to an active power source, it will turn
on automatically.
During calibration, ‘AYRA’ will be shown on the display, which means the device is not ready to be operated.
Once the device has fully started up, it will jump to the last-used mode. Operation modes and other settings
shown on the display can now be adjusted or changed by means of the menu buttons.
Should the device detect a DMX signal, it will automatically switch to DMX mode and will display the lastused address. For new devices, this will normally be DMX address 001. Of course, you can change the DMX
address via the display using the menu buttons.
Using the display and the menu buttons, you can adjust the functions and settings of the device. Press
'Enter' to confirm an adjustment or select a function, use ‘Up’ and ‘Down’ to change amounts and ‘Menu’ to
go back to the menu. By holding the ‘Menu’ button down for 2 seconds after saving a specific setting, the
device will return to operation mode and adopt the setting. This will also be done after any changes in the
operation mode or DMX address. This operation is not always necessary, considering the device
automatically does this after a new setting is confirmed.
The menu contains the following options and functions
display Mode Function
ADDR / A001 DMX address configuration Address A001 … A512
SLAV Slave mode SLAV
F-.00 Standalone stroboscope mode Stroboscope speed: F-.00 – F-.99
F-.00 = static mode
D-.00 Standalone dimmer mode Dimmer level: D-.00 – D-.99
D-.00 = dimmer 0%
SU00 Sound-controlled mode +
sensitivity
Adjustable sensitivity: SU00 - SU99
You'll find an explanation of the various functions below:
ADDR: With this function, you can determine the DMX start address of the device. Set it channel 001, and
the device will respond from DMX channel 1. Set it to channel 003, then the device will respond from DMX
channel 3, etc.
SLAV: The master-slave mode is designed to sync multiple devices. A copy of the internal program is sent to
the daisy-chained devices so that each one projects the same effect. The master-slave function works by
means of standard 3-pole XLR cables. The only difference is that the first device in the chain does not
receive DMX input.
F-.00: This function allows you to set the speed of the stroboscope while the device is in standalone mode. It
ranges from 00 to 99 where 00 is static (full-on) mode and 01 to 99 are the increasing flash speeds.
D-.00: This function is to set the intensity of the dimmer while the device is in standalone automatic mode. It
can be combined with the stroboscope speed which ranges from 00 to 99, 00 being completely off.
SU00: This mode allows you to determine the sensitivity of the internal microphone. The further the device is
from the speaker, the higher the sensitivity of the microphone needs to be so it can react properly to the
music. The microphone is built to handle high sound pressure levels, but the louder the signal the higher the
microphone sensitivity level, the more difficulty the device will have detecting the beat of the music.
Experiment with the level of sensitivity and distance/positioning of the device to find the best results.
In sound-controlled mode, the Flash 30 / 60 LED will flash three times in a row at full output at every trigger
(on the beat).

Operating modes
The following overview is designed to show the differences between the various operation modes that are
supported by the above-mentioned menu functions.
Auto:
In automatic mode, (D-.00 and F-.00)the device is set to a fixed speed and will function according to the
preset parameters. The device does not requite input from the built-in microphone, master-slave signals or
DMX.
By setting the flashing speed to static (value 00), you can also use the Flash 30 / 60 LED as a static projector
to temporarily light up certain surfaces.
Sound:
The sound-controlled mode uses an internal microphone which detects the music and flashes three times at
full intensity on the beat. This ensures the light effect syncs perfectly with your music.
When no music is detected due to a break in the music or the presence of only high tones, the device will not
flash.
Slave
In Slave mode, you can daisy-chain multiple devices of the same type so they all function a specific way.
This way you can coordinate your light show by having multiple separate devices moving the same way
instead of all different directions, which can be chaotic. Basically, you can connect an unlimited number of
slave devices to a master device, but a DMX booster is required in between. Generally speaking, you can
connect up to four armatures together without the need for a DMX booster.
Be aware that when you attempt to connect devices of different types and brands, they may behave
strangely and you may not get the desired effect because certain functions are linked to the wrong channels.
This is true of DMX lighting of all brands and types.
In case of the FLASH 30 / 60 LED, mixing these units in master or slave mode is possible as they share the
same channel values and controls.
DMX
The DMX mode is the most comprehensive way to maintain ultimate control over all the functions this device
has to offer. It enables you to determine exactly how many functions you want to control via the DMX
controller or DMX software.
2CH mode:
CH Function Values
CH1 Dimmer: 0 - 100% 000-255: 0-100%
CH2 Stroboscope speed slow – fast + sound-controlled option 000-007: Stroboscope blackout
008-247: Stroboscope mode slow - fast
248-255: Sound-controlled mode
Power supply
The Flash 30 / 60 LED is equipped with a power input to supply the device with power, but also an output to
supply power to other devices, which means you won't need power strips or other power distributors.
The power connectors for the Flash 30 / 60 LED have a power capacity of 10A, subtracted by the maximum
power consumption of the device. With a small built-in safety margin, the output on the Flash 30 / 60 LED
should be fed with a maximum of 9 A.
This is more than enough to supply power to multiple devices of the same type via a single power line.

Bear in mind that the installed fuse in the Flash 30 / 60 LED is designed to only protect the device itself. The
power output is not protected.
Installation and connection requirements
Now that you know how the Flash 30 / 60 LED works, it's important to know how to use it correctly and
safely, according to the installation and connection requirements.
Make sure the device and connection cables are out of reach of children, and that if children are present,
they are under adult supervision at all times. Because this device can be used upright or suspended, children
could pull on the cables, causing the device to fall on top of them. To avoid injury, it is important to pay close
attention to the position and/or installation of this device.
Upright use
The Flash 30 / 60 LED is not suitable for use in an upright position, unless the mounting bracket is attached
to a stable surface like a floor stand or a metal foot with sturdy materials.
Suspended use (bracket)
If you want to suspend the Flash 30 / 60 LED, use the mounting bracket that has already been attached to
the device. Use the tightening knobs to adjust the bracket.
The Flash 30 / 60 armature is already equipped with a hanging bracket and contains holes to mount a
standard G-hook or coupler. You can find standard hooks and/or brackets for 35 or 50mm tubes (truss or
light stand) at your local dealer.
Hardware for mounting the Flash 30 / 60 LED to the wall, ceiling, or beam is not included. Contact a
specialist if you're not sure which hardware is required for your situation. A wooden beam and stone wall
require different mounting methods.
Should you want to suspend the Flash 30 / 60 LED, you will need to attach a safety cable to the armature.
This is not included, but is available at your local dealer. The Flash 30 / 60 LED is equipped with an eyelet for
hooking safety cable. Once it's hooked on, you can wrap the cable around the truss or light stand and attach
it again by means of the same hook. This ensures the device is secured and prevents it from falling, even if
one or both of the brackets should come loose.
Ensure that the safety cable has a load capacity of 10x the weight of the armature and that the device can
not fall farther than 30 cm. You can wrap the safety cable around the truss or light stand several times to
ensure the fall is as short as possible. The shorter the fall, the less chance of damage or injury.
Light source
The Flash 30 / 60 LED has powerful LED modules that create an even more powerful effect thanks to a
special lens that bundles the beams together. Never look directly into the lens from at close range, as the
human eye can't adjust to the sudden intensity of the beam of light this device produces. It won't result in
permanent damage, but it can cause temporary blind spots, which may cause disorientation and discomfort.
Cooling
The Flash 30 / 60 LED is not equipped with active cooling by means of fans. Cooling the light source is done
by means of a passive cooling block and ventilation slots in the housing.
Parts and repair
This product does not include spare parts and can not be repaired by the user. All inspections and overall
maintenance should be done by a specialist.
Cleaning and maintenance
Clean the exterior of this device monthly with a dry, or slightly damp microfibre cloth. Ensure that the device
is unplugged before cleaning it.
