5. 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 CA-8

3. By IL-0824 ( please refer to the user guide of iLead controller ) or by universal DMX

controller

No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address setting

will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show 575U on the display and

move all the motors to their ‘homing’ position. You may hear some noises for about 20

seconds. After the progress will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the built-in programs.

5.1. Master/Slave Built-In Preprogrammed Function

You can select blackout mode in (yes blackout) or (no blackout)

mode while the unit is turned on. By linking the units in master/slave connection, the first unit

will control 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 select show (show 1, 2, 3,

4) modes by easy controller . 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 (normal) or (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), means the unit works normally and means

2-light show. In order to create a great light show, you can set

on the second unit to

get contrast movement to each other, even if you have two units only.

5.2. Easy Controller CA-8

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 control on the first unit will control all the other units

for Stand by, Function and Mode.

5.3.1 i Solution Operation

·Consistent DMX configuration enable iRock and iShow to be linked and controlled together

at the same time.

·DMX address can be set remotely by iLead controller ( please refer to the user manual 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.

5.3.2 DMX Controller

If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address from

1 to 512 channel so that the units can receive DMX signal.

Press the MENU button until the is shown on the display. Pressing ENTER button

and the display will blink. Use DOWN and UP button to change the DMX 512 address. Once

the address has been selected, press and keep ENTER button pressed until the display

stops blinking or storing automatically 8 seconds later. To go back to the functions without

any change press the MENU button again.

Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX 512 channel for the first 4 units.

16 Channels：

8 Channels：

You have to set the fixture’ show mode in 8 channels mode when you use IL-0824 controller.

DMX start address can be set remotely by IL-0824 controller. No need to calculate the DMX

channels of each fixture in the chain.

Please refer to the following diagram to address your DMX 512 channel for the first 4 units.

5.5. DMX 512 Connection

The DMX 512 is widely used in intelligent lighting control, with a maximum of 512 channels.

1. If you use a controller with 5 pins DMX connector, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin adapter.

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 chain” by XLR plug from the output of the unit to the

input of the next unit. The cable cannot be branched or split to a “Y” cable. DMX512 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.

4. The DMX output and input connectors are pass-through to maintain the DMX circuit, when

power is disconnected 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 0-511 (usually 0 & 1 are equal to 1).

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

7. 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 (+)

5 pin XLR: Pin 1: GND, Pin 2: Negative signal (-), Pin 3: Positive signal (+)

19A

6. Troubleshooting

Following are a few common problems that may occur during operation. Here are

some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:

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

1. Check the connect power and main fuse.

2. Measure the mains voltage on the main connector.

3. Check the power on LED.

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 unit or the previous one.

4. Try to use another DMX controller.

5. Check in 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 respond to the easy controller

1. You may have a break in the DMX cabling. Check the LED for the response of the master/

slave mode signal.

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

D. No response to the sound

1. Make sure that the unit is not receiving 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.

2. The motor’s drive IC on the PCB might be out of condition.

F. The lamp is cutting out intermittently

1. The lamp is not working well. Check the main voltage either too high or too low.

2. Internal temperature may be too high. Check and if necessary replace the fan on the head.

20A

G. Pan Belt is broken

1. Turn off the main power.

2. Unscrew all the screws (A) and open the base-housing cover (B).

3. Unscrew all the screws (C) and open the arm cover (D).

4. Unplug all the connect wires that from the arm to the bottom.

5. Unscrew the screws (E) and remove the fixture head.

6. Loose the screws (F), then loose the screws (G).

7. Change a new belt (H) , put the belt around the axis gear and motor gear.

8. Screwed the screws (G), install the new belt and adjust the belt tension properly. Note: do

not fix belt too tight as it is easy to rupture.

9. Plug all the connect wires back that from the bottom to the arm.

10. Reverse the procedures from point 5 to point 2.

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 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 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.
