■ Security advice before use

General advice:

1. Read this manual completely before using the product.

2. Keep this manual in your records for future reference.

3. Follow all instruction printed in this manual.

4. Follow all printed security advice on the product itself.

5. Take care of enough distance between this product and sources of
hum and noise like electric motors and transformers.

6. Carry this product with greatest care. Punches, big forces and
heavy vibration may damage this product mechanically.

Protection from eye injury

1. Warning: Depending on the configuration of the device, this device
may reach or exceed the limits of EN62471, risk group 2, and may
hence reach to risk group 3.

2. To avoid eye injury, do not look into the beam from a distance of
less than 8.5 m (27 ft. 11 ins) from the front surface of the fixture
without protective eyewear such as shade-5 welding goggles. At
larger distances, light output is harmless to the naked eye provided
that the eye’s natural aversion response is not affected.

3. Do not view the beam directly with optical instruments such as
magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments
that may concentrate the light output.

4. Ensure that during setup and DMX programming, no persons are
inside a 8.50m (27 ft. 11 ins) vicinity of the device’s front surface, to
avoid that they may accidently be exposed to the light beam.

connected via DMX to be used as a master unit and set all subsequent units’ DMX
address automatically. On the first (master) unit, in EDIT menu, use the left/right arrows
until the display shows “ADMX”. You can now decide to either address all subsequent
units in GDMX mode with the same channel scheme as on the master unit, but
consecutive DMX addresses for individual control; or to set all subsequent units to
SLAVE mode for mutual control. To enable GDMX auto addressing, press the + button
to start the auto addressing process and keep it pressed; the display will show “GDMX”
when done. To enable SLAVE auto addressing, press the - button to start the auto
addressing process and keep it pressed; the display will show “SLAVE” when done.

locked unit, press the left and the right arrow buttons simultaneously.

Auto Display off. Use the left/right arrows until the display shows ADIS. Press any of
the +/- button to alternate between “on” or “off”. When on, the unit will disable the LCD
backlight after more than 1 minute of no use of the UI. When off, the display backlight
will remain enabled. Note: The display elements themselves remain active.
