ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION + ADDRESSING
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:
• Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode
Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control. Refer to
section “C” to learn how to do this.
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
• Connect 2 to maximum 16 units together using good quality balanced microphone cables (like for
example JB Systems ref. 7-0063). The unit that has no cable connected to its DMX-input will react as
“master”, the others are the slave units.
• Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
• When all units are connected together and switched on, you still have to address all units to obtain nice
multi channel chases. To do this just press the “auto DMX-address” button (indicated by number “7” on
the picture) on the “master” unit. All units will switch off and on again to indicate that the addresses are
set.
• Done!
Remark: You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the master unit if you want to have more control
over the master/slave operation. You can also connect the LEDCON 01 remote controller, in this case all
units will respond equally (all units have the same color)
ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
Electrical installation for two or more units in DMX-mode:
• The DMX-protocol is a widely used
high speed signal to control
intelligent light equipment. You need
to “daisy chain” your DMX controller
and all the connected units with a
good quality balanced cable (ex. JB
Systems ref. 7-0063).
• To prevent strange behavior of the
light effects, due to interferences,
you must use a 90Ω to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-
splitter cables, this simply won’t work!
• Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
• Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode. In the next section you will
learn how to set the DMX addresses.
How to set the DMX addresses:
There are 2 ways to set the DMX-address of the units:
A. Automatic DMX-addressing:
To save a lot of time (imagine the time it takes to set the DIP
switches of 16 units…) you can set the DMX addresses of all units
in the DMX-chain just by the push of a button. No need to calculate
the starting address of each individual unit, this will be done for
you!
• Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
• Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
• On the first unit (master unit) just press the “address button” once. All units will switch off and on
• Done!
Remark: you can mix the units with other DMX-effects that don’t have the automatic DMXaddressing option. In that case you still have to set the DMX-addresses of these DMX-effects
manually!
Hint 1: you can also make the DMX-address of each unit 001
the first unit, then press the DMX-address button on the second unit, etc… All units will receive
DMX-address 001.
Hint 2: You can also give the same DMX-addresses to several units in the same chain: if for
example you have 8 units connected to each other and you want 2 sets of 4 units, each with the
same addresses then you do the following: press the DMX-address button on the 1
will be addressed starting from 001 for unit 1. After this press the DMX-address button on the 5
unit: unit 5 to 8 will be addressed again starting from 001 for unit 5. Units 1+5, 2+6, 3+7 and 4+8 will
each have the same DMX-address.
B. Remote DMX-address setting by any standard DMX-controller:
An amazing feature is the “remote addressing system” that can be done with any ordinary standard
DMX-controller! Remotely you can set the start address of the first unit, all other connected units will
automatically receive their own addresses.
To do this you must program a chase containing 2 scenes, each with 4 channels. To set the starting
address you have to do a small calculation first using the following formula:
In this formula CH3 can be 0 or 1 and CH4 can range from 000 to 255.
Some examples to make this clear:
• Start address = 010: CH3= 0 CH4= 9 [ (0 x 256) + 9 + 1 = 10 ]
• Start address = 257: CH3= 1 CH4= 0 [ (1 x 256) + 0 + 1 = 257 ]
• Start address = 403: CH3= 1 CH4= 146 [ (1 x 256) + 146 + 1 = 403 ]
again to indicate that the addresses are set. Please note that the first unit in the DMX-chain
always receives DMX-address 001. Since each unit uses 4 DMX-channels, the 2nd unit has start
address 005, the 3rd has address 009, the 4
DMX Start address = (CH3 x 256) + CH4 + 1
th
has address 013, … etc.

ENGLISH OPERATION MANUAL
Follow the these steps (in this example the start address is set to 403):
• Make sure the DMX cables of all units are connected.
• Connect all units to the mains so they are switched on.
• Edit scene1: CH1= 0, CH2= 255, CH3= 1, CH4= 146
• Edit scene2: CH1= 255, CH2= 0, CH3= 1, CH4= 146
• Program these 2 scenes in a chase and run it to automatically set the DMX addresses.
You will notice that all units flash 1x to indicate that the addresses are set.
• Press the blackout button on your controller 2times to set all units in blackout and back on.
• Done: in this case the first unit has start address 403, the 2
nd
has address 407, the 3rd has
address 411, …
Remark: you can mix the units with other DMX-effects that don’t have the remote DMX-addressing
option. In that case you still have to set the DMX-addresses of these DMX-effects manually!
OVERHEAD RIGGING
• Important: The installation must be carried out by qualified service personal only. Improper
installation can result in serious injuries and/or damage to property. Overhead rigging requires
extensive experience! Working load limits should be respected, certified installation materials
should be used, the installed device should be inspected regularly for safety.

BUTTON
STANDBY
• Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during rigging, de-rigging
and servicing.
• The device should be installed out of reach of people and outside areas where persons may walk by or be
seated.
FUNCTION
• Before rigging make sure that the installation area can hold a minimum point load of 10times the device’s
weight.
• Always use a certified safety cable that can hold 12times the weight of the device when installing the unit.
This secondary safety attachment should be installed in a way that no part of the installation can drop
more than 20cm if the main attachment fails.
• The device should be well fixed; a free-swinging mounting is dangerous and may not be considered!
• The operator has to make sure that the safety-relating and machine-technical installations are approved by
an expert before using them for the first time. The installations should be inspected every year by a skilled
person to be sure that safety is still optimal.
• 3 different fixing methods are possible:
• Fixed to ALU truss: use an optional truss clamp.
• Fixed to wall or ceiling: use 2 adapted screws to fix the base plate (5) to a wall or ceiling.
• On a horizontal surface: just fix the unit on the included base plate (5) and put it on a stable, horizontal
