4. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The LEDsplash™ 200B is a DMX controllable, full RGB color mix par can made up of highly efficient
and super bright LEDs. All red, green and blue LEDs can be controlled separately allowing the
creation of an unlimited range of colors.

The LEDsplash™ 200B can operate in Stand-Alone, Master/Slave and via DMX-512 control utilizing
six DMX channels.

Master/Slave Mode

This mode allows a single unit to run to the beat of the music, or the unit will auto change in Auto
Mode.

1) Set dipswitches position to Sound Active or Auto Mode.
Mode Dipswitches

Sound Active 1~10 = Off, switch set to Music
Auto Mode 1~10 = Off, switch set to Auto

2) The unit will react to the low frequencies of music via the internal microphone in Sound Active
mode, or the unit will auto change in Auto Mode.

3) Use the audio sensitivity knob on the back of the unit to make the unit more or less sensitive in
Sound-Active mode. Turning the knob counterclockwise decreases the sensitivity; turning the
knob clockwise increases the sensitivity.

Daisy Chain Connection

1. Connect the (male) 3 pin connector side of the DMX cable to the output (female) 3 pin connector

of the first fixture.

2. Connect the end of the cable coming from the first fixture which will have a (female) 3-pin

connector to the input connector of the next fixture consisting of a (male) 3-pin connector. Then,
proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture and so on.

DMX Control Mode

Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the
fixture and each fixture independently. The LEDsplash™ 200B uses six channels of control.

1. A working DMX signal source plugged into the LEDsplash™ 200B activates the DMX mode.

Setting the DMX address

This DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller device. Each fixture requires a "start
address" from 1 to 511. A fixture requiring one or more channels for control begins to read the data
on the channel indicated by the start address. For example, a fixture that occupies or uses 6 channels
of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from channels: 100, 101,
102, 103, 104, and 105. Choose start addresses so that the channels used do not overlap and notate
the start address selected for future reference.

If this is your first time addressing a fixture using the DMX-512 control protocol than I suggest jumping

to the Appendix Section and read the heading “DMX Primer”. It contains very useful information that

will help you understand its use.

Set the start address using the group of DIP switches located usually on bottom of the fixture. Each
dip switch has an associated value. Adding the value of each switch in the ON position will provide
the start address. Determining which switches to toggle ON given a specific start address can be
accomplished in the following manner. By subtracting the largest switch value possible from the
selected start address until zero is achieved.

5. APPENDIX

DMX Primer

There are 512 channels in a DMX connection. Channels may be assigned in any manner. A fixture
capable of receiving DMX-512 will require one or a number of sequential channels. The user must
assign a starting address on the fixture that indicates the first channel reserved in the controller.
There are many different types of DMX controllable fixtures and they all may vary in the total number
of channels required. Choosing a start address should be planned in advance. Channels should
never overlap. If they do, this will result in erratic operation of the fixtures whose starting address is
set incorrectly. You can however, control multiple fixtures of the same type using the same starting
address as long as the intended result is that of unison movement or operation. In other words, the
fixtures will be slaved together and all respond exactly the same.

DMX fixtures are designed to receive data through a serial Daisy Chain. A Daisy Chain connection is
where the DATA OUT of one fixture connects to the DATA IN of the next fixture. The order in which
the fixtures are connected is not important and has no effect on how a controller communicates to
each fixture. Use an order that provides for the easiest and most direct cabling. Connect fixtures
using shielded two conductor twisted pair cable with three pin XLR male to female connectors. The
shield connection is pin 1, while pin 2 is Data Negative (S-) and pin 3 is Data positive (S+).

Fixture Linking

Note! If you use a controller with a 5-pin DMX output connector, you will need to use a

5-pin to 3-pin adapter.
The chart below details a proper cable conversion:
