4. Control By Universal DMX Controller

4.1 DMX 512 Connection

1. If you using a controller with 5 pins DMX output, you need to use a 5 to 3 pin
adapter-cable.

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 can not branched or split to a `Y` cable. DMX 512 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 one of the units’ power is disconnected.

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).

15C

6. The end of the DMX 512 system should be terminated to reduce signal errors.

7. 3 pin XLR connectors are more popular than 5 pin 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 (+), Pin 4/Pin 5:
Not used.

4.2 Address Setting

If you use a universal DMX controller to control the units, you have to set DMX address
from 1 to 512 so that the units can receive DMX signal.

Press MENU button to enter menu mode, select DMX Functions, press ENTER button to
confirm, use UP and DOWN button to select DMX Address, press ENTER button to
confirm, the present address will blink on the display, use UP and DOWN button to adjust
the address from 0 to 512, press ENTER button to store. Press MENU button back to the
last menu or let the unit idle 7 seconds to exit menu mode.

5. 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 connection of 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 if the DMX cables run near or run alongside to high voltage cables that may
cause damage or interference to DMX interface circuit.

C. 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.

6. 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.
