and the sensitivity for disturbing interference conforms to CE and FCC requirements.
A corresponding sign is printed on the backside of the unit. Any change or modication
may affect the behavior of the unit concerning electromagnetic radiation, and may cause
non-conformity to CE requirements. The manufacturer takes no responsibility in this case.
Functional advice
This unit is immune to the presence of electromagnetic disturbances – both conducted
and radiated - up to a certain level. Under peak conditions, the unit is classied to show
a “class C” performance criteria and may encounter temporary degradation or loss of
function. In such a case, disconnect the unit AC power from the unit and reconnect it
again to recover.
Environmental advice
This unit is built to conform to the ROHS standards and the WEEE
directive 2002/96/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council
of the European Union. Under these regulations, the product shall
not be discarded into regular garbage at the end of its life, but shall be returned
to authorized recycling stations. It is highly recommended that North American users
follow environmentally safe disposal/recycling practices.
LED Lifetime advice
LED lifetime is determined by the gradually declining brightness of an LED over time
where, the point of 50% brightness reduction marks the dened end of its lifetime. The
driving factor of this effect is the heat that the chip inside the LED is exposed to. While an
LED may reach 100,000 hours under ideal circumstances,
the real-world lifetime may only be 30,000 to 50,000 hours. This may be less if the LED is
exposed to excessive heat, which can be caused by continuously running all LEDs inside
this device at full power and/or operating the unit in high environmental temperatures. If
improving the lifetime of the LED is a concern, keeping the operating temperature lower
is advised. This may include forced air external cooling and/or the reduction of overall
intensity.

“GDMX” General DMX Mode
Press the MODE button (1) until the display shows “GDMX”. When the unit is receiving a
DMX signal, the DMX indicator (11) will be illuminated.
Setting the DMX Address
The +/- buttons (4 or 5) change the DMX address, “ 1” – “ 512”. Pressing the +/- buttons
(4 or 5) once shows the current DMX address. The DMX address can then be changed
by using the +/- buttons (4 or 5). Holding the +/- buttons (4 or 5) for longer than 1
second accelerates the change rate of the displayed value to 3 times normal speed. The
display will automatically return to show “GDMX” after 5 seconds, and the DMX address
will remain as set. The DMX address remains the same regardless of the selected DMX
control mode. However, the number of channels used may change depending on the
selected DMX control mode.
Selecting a DMX Control Mode
Pressing the left/right buttons (2 or 3) once shows the current DMX control mode. The
left/right buttons (2 or 3) can then be used to cycle through the following DMX control
modes.
- “3RAW” 3 Channels – 1=Red, 2=Green, 3=Blue
- “3CCC” 4 Channels – 1=Red, 2=Green, 3=Blue, 4=Intensity/Strobe
- – CH 4 values – 000-127=Intensity, 128-239=Strobe, 240-255=Full Intensity
- “3CMS” 5 Channels – 1=Red, 2=Green, 3=Blue, 4=Intensity, 5=Strobe
- “5RAW” 5 Channels – 1=Red, 2=Green, 3=Blue, 4=Amber, 5=White
- “5CMS” 7 Channels – 1=Red, 2=Green, 3=Blue, 4=Amber, 5=White,
6=Intensity, 7=Strobe
- “HSLS” 4 Channels – 1=Hue, 2=Saturation, 3=Lightness, 4=Strobe
- “PRES” 4 Channels – Presets, see section below.
When the DMX control mode is set to Presets, the DMX value of channel 3 determines
which presets channel 1 controls. If the DMX value of channel 3 is 000-049, channel
1 selects static colors, see table below. Channel 4 strobe speed is 015=slow (1Hz) to
255=fast (18Hz).

If the DMX value of channel 3 is 050-255, channel 1 selects fade/switch colors, see
table below. Channel 3 controls the fade/switch speed (050=slow/255=fast). Channel 4
strobe speed is 015=slow (1Hz) to 255=fast (18Hz).
“CBAL” Color Balance Mode
In this mode you can dene the unit’s color balance by setting a maximum brightness for
each LED color, giving you the individual color balance you desire. Any changes made
to the color balance will affect the unit in all modes. Press the MODE button (1) until the
display shows “CBAL”. Once color balance mode is entered all the LEDs will turn on at
their set value. Use the left/right buttons (2 or 3) to enter color balance mode and cycle
though “R###”, “G###”, and “B###”. ### indicates values from 200 through 255. (Values
below 200 are disabled to avoid overall output reduction of the xture.) Pressing the +/buttons (4 or 5) will change the values. All changes are effective immediately.
NOTE: To make sure that several xtures used together do not exhibit different color
behavior, all xtures must be calibrated to the same color balance.

“EDIT” Edit Settings Mode
Press the MODE button (1) until the display shows “EDIT”. Pressing the left/right buttons
(2 or 3) will cycle through the following options.
“ADMX” Automatic DMX Addressing – Automatic DMX Addressing is used
to quickly setup multiple Multiform HP5-70 units that are daisy chained with DMX
cable. Two modes, Slave and DMX, are available. When in DMX mode, the rst unit
will determine the DMX mode and addresses of the units. The desired DMX mode and
starting address needs to be set on the rst unit prior to using this feature.
Press the left/right buttons (2 or 3) until the display shows “ADMX”. Pressing the
+/- buttons (4 or 5) once shows “ OFF”. Pressing the + button (4) will set the units to
“GDMX” (General DMX mode) and start the auto addressing process. This process
assumes that it is executed from the rst device in a chain. It will set all the following
devices’ settings to the same DMX mode as the rst unit and assign DMX channels
consecutively according to the chosen DMX mode. Pressing the - button (5) will set the
units to DMX Slave Mode. The master unit will be assigned to slave group 1, and the
following units will be assigned to consecutive groups up to “SLA4” then starting over at
“SLA1”, i.e. Unit 2 = “SLA2”, unit 3 = “SLA3”, unit 4 = “SLA4”, unit 5 = “SLA1”, and so on.
NOTE: For this to execute properly, the rst unit must not be connected to DMX and all
units need to be in one of the following operating modes when the process is initiated –
DMX Slave Mode, General DMX Mode, Color Balance Mode, or Edit Settings Mode.
