1.2 U n packi n g ins t ructio ns

On receiving a fixture, carefully unpack the carton, check the contents to ensure
that all parts are presented, and have been received in a good condition. Notify
the shipper immediately and retain packing material for inspection if any parts
appear damaged from shipping or the carton itself shows,sign of mishandling.
Save the carton and all packing materials. In the event that a fixture must be
returned to the factory , it is important that the fixture should be returned in
original factory box and packing.

1.3 AC Pow er

To determine the power requirements for a particular fixture, see the label affixed
to the back plate of the fixture or referred to the fixtures specification chart. A
fixture listed current rating is its average current draw under normal conditions.
All fixtures must be directly powered off a switched circuit and cannot be run off a
rheostat(variable resist) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer source
voltage matches the fixtures requirement. Check the fixture or device carefully to
make sure that if a voltage selection switch exits that it is set to the correct line
voltage you will use.

Warning! Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line
voltage applied. Damage to your fixture may result if the line voltage applied
does not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All
fixtures must be connected to circuits with a suitable Earth ground.

6. How to Control The Unit

You can operate the unit in two ways:

1. Master/ Slave built-in preprogram function

2. Universal DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX
address setting will be effect a tonce. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show

www.flash-butrym.pl Page 9

„M108RGBW” 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.

7. Master/ Slave Built In preprogrammed Function

By lining the units in master/ slave connection, the first unit will controll the other units
to give an automatic, sound activated, synchronized light show. This function is good
when you want an instant show. You have to set the first unit in master mode Show
Mode and select Show 1 or Show 2 or Show 3 ors Show 4 mode. Its DMX input jack
will have nothing plugged into it, and its master LED will be constantly on and sound
LED will flash to the music. The other units will have to set in Slave mode and select
Slave 1 (normal) or Slave 2 (2 light show) mode, Their DMX cables plugged into the
DMX input jacks (daisy chain) and the slave led lights will constantly on.

2-light show

In Slave mode, Slave 1 means the unit works normally and Slave 2 means 2-light
show. In order to create a great light show, you can set Slave 2 on the second unit to
get contrast movement to each other, even if you have two units only.

8. DMX Controller

By using a universal DMX Controller to control the units, you will need to set DMX
address from 1 to 512 so that the units can recive DMX signal.
Press the MENU buton up to when the DMX Adress is showing on the display.
Pressing ENTER buton and the display will blink. Use DOWN and UP buton to
change the DMX512 address. Once the address has been selected, press the
ENTER buton to setup, to go back to the functions without any change press the
MENU buton again. Hold and press the MENU buton about one secondo r wait for
one minute to exit the menu mode.
Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX512 channel for the first 4
units.

10. DMX512 Connection

1. If you usign 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 be terminated with a terminator. Solder a
120ohm 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 chain by XLR plug from the output of the
unit to the input of the next unit. The cable can not branched or split to a ‘Y’
cable. DMX512 is a very high-speed signal. Inadequate or damaged cables,
soldered joints or corroded conectors 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 one of the units power is disconnected.

5. Each lighting unit needs to have an address set to receive the data sent by the
controller. The address numer is between 0-511 (usualy 0 & 1 are equal to 1).

6. The end of the DMX512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.

7. 3 pin XLR connector 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 (+),
Pin 4/Pin 5: not used

11. Troubleshooting

Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Hear are
some suggestions for easy troubleshooting.

A. The unit does not work, no light and the fan does not work.

• Check the connection of power and main fuse

• Measure the mains voltage on the main connector

• Check the power on LED

B. Not responding to DMX controller

• DMX LED should be on. If not, check DMX connectors, cables to see if
link properly

• If the DMX LED is on and no response to the channel, check the
address setting and DMX polarity.

• If you have intermittent DMX signal problems, check the pins on
connectors or on PCB of the unit or the previous one.

• Tryt to us another DMX controller

• 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 units don’t’s respond to the easy controller

www.flash-butrym.pl Page 12

• You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the
response of the Master/ Slave mode signal.

• Wrong DMX address in the unit. Set the proper address.

D. No response to the sound

• Make sur the unit dose not receive DMX Signal

• Check microphone to see if it is good by tapping the microphone

E. One of the channels is not working well

• The stepper motor might be damaged or cable connected to PCB is
broken

• The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of conditio

12. Fixture Cleaning

The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried
out periodically to optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the
environment in which the fixture operates: damp, smoky or particularly dirty
surrounding can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s opyics.

• Clean with soft cloth using normal glass cleaning fluid

• Always dry the parts carefully

• Clean the external optics at least every 20 days. Clean the internal optics at

least every 30/60 days.
