LEDJ COLOR BURST OVERVIEW
Product Overview
Operating Instructions
The Colour Burst is a DMX-512 controllable, full RGB colour mixing Par Can made up of high
efficiency and super bright LED’s. There are three colour groups (red, blue and green) whose
intensity can be controlled individually allowing the creation of an unlimited range of colours.
The Colour Burst can operate in stand-alone, Master/Slave, Sound Active and via DMX-512
control utilizing 4 channels.
Page 6
LEDJ COLOR BURST OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up as many units as you want in a daisy chain
fashion. In this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command the slave units:
1) Connect all units in a daisy chain fashion as described in the section following
2) Master Unit: Set dipswitch No: 9 to on and No: 10 to off.
3) Slaves: Set dipswitch No: 10 to the on position and all others to the off position
Stand-Alone Mode
You can run the fixtures in an automatic stand-alone mode by simply setting all fixtures
to run as master units without daisy chaining.
Sound Activation
The LED Par Can has a built-in microphone which enables it to operate in Sound to Light mode.
Set the sensitivity control to the desired level, and the Color Burst will change colour to the beat
of the music. Set dip switch 8+9 to ON to activate S ou nd Mod e .
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.
Proceed to connect from the output as stated above to the input of the following fixture
and so on.

LEDJ COLOR BURST BUILT-IN OPTIONS
Built-in Program Options
In this mode it is possible to access various in-built programs & control the speed of them.
Firstly set the dip switch #9 to ON position & #10 to OFF
Dip switches #1 – 3 adjust the program selection. By selecting a combination of ON or OFF
different patterns will be produced.
Dip switches #4 – 8 controls the speed of these patterns.
#4 ON = Very Fast
#5 ON = Fast
#6 ON = Medium
#7 ON = Slow
#8 ON = Very Slow.
Manual Control Options
With all the dipswitches set to the off position, the dipswitches 1 – 8 will control 3 levels of
intensity for red and green LED’s and 2 levels of intensity for blue LED’s.
This allows you to statically set a colour of preference without the use of a controller. By setting
different intensities for all 3 LED colours you can compose a colour of your choice.
Manual Intensity Control RGB Mix
DMX Control Mode
Operating in a DMX control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it
comes to customising or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual
trait of the fixture and each fixture independently. The Colour Burst uses 4 channels of control.
Enable the DMX control by setting dipswitch No: 10 to the ON position. Use dipswitches 1 – 9 to
address each fixture accordingly.

LEDJ COLOR BURST OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Setting the DMX address
The DMX mode enables the use of a universal DMX controller. Each fixture requires a “start
address” from 1- 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
7 channels of DMX and was addressed to start on DMX channel 100, would read data from
channels: 100,101,102,103,104,105 and 106. Choose a start address so that the channels used
do not overlap. E.g. the next unit in the chain starts at 107.
Set the start address using the group of dipswitches located usually on the bottom of the fixture.
Each dipswitch 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.

LEDJ COLOR BURST DMX SET UP
DMX-512:
• DMX (Digital Multiplex) is a universal protocol used as a form of communication
between intelligent fixtures and controllers. A DMX controller sends DMX data
instructions from the controller to the fixture. DMX data is sent as serial data that
travels from fixture to fixture via the DATA “IN” and DATA “OUT” XLR terminals
located on all DMX fixtures (most controllers only have a data “out” terminal).
DMX Linking:
• DMX is a language allowing all makes and models of different manufactures to
be linked together and operate from a single controller, as long as all fixtures and
the controller are DMX compliant. To ensure proper DMX data transmission,
when using several DMX fixtures try to use the shortest cable path possible. The
order in which fixtures are connected in a DMX line does not influence the DMX
addressing. For example; a fixture assigned to a DMX address of 1 may be
placed anywhere in a DMX line, at the beginning, at the end, or anywhere in the
middle. When a fixture is assigned a DMX address of 1, the DMX controller
knows to send DATA assigned to address 1 to that unit, no matter where it is
located in the DMX chain.
DATA Cable (DMX cable) requirements (for DMX operation):
• The LEDJ Color Burst can be controlled via DMX-512 protocol. The DMX
address is set on the back of the unit. Your unit and your DMX controller require
a standard 3-pin XLR connector for data input/output (figure 1).
Figure 1
Also remember that DMX cable must be daisy chained and
cannot be split.
Further DMX cables can be
purchased from all good sound and
lighting suppliers or Prolight dealers.

Notice:
• Be sure to follow figures 2 & 3 when making your own cables. Do not connect
the cable’s shield conductor to the ground lug or allow the shield conductor to
come in contact with the XLR’s outer casing. Grounding the shield could cause a
short circuit and erratic behaviour.
Special Note: Line termination:
• When longer runs of cable are used, you may need to use a terminator on the
last unit to avoid erratic behaviour.
Termination reduces signal transmission
problems and interference. It is always advisable
to connect a DMX terminal, (resistance 120
Ohm 1/4W) between Pin 2 (DMX-) and Pin 3
(DMX+) of the last fixture
Figure 4
Using a cable terminator (part number CABL90) will decrease the
possibilities of erratic behaviour.
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors:
• Some manufactures use 5-pin XLR connectors for data transmission in place of
3-pin. 5-Pin XLR fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin XLR DMX line. When
inserting standard 5-pin XLR connectors in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must
be used. The Chart below details the correct cable conversion.
