1 Safety Instruction
Keep this device away from rain and moisture!
Unplug mains lead before opening the housing!
Never look directly into the light source (sensitive persons may suffer an epileptic
shock).
Never leave this device running unattended.
Keep away children.
When installing the device, make sure there is no highly inflammable material within
a distance of 0.5m.

2 Introduction
Main feature of this LED PAR is, that it can be used as a 4ch DMX controller.
In this mode 4 LED PARs are connected with XLR cables on their DMX In-/Outputs.
The first LED PAR is set to DMX master mode. Now the LED PAR in master mode sent
control signals to the connected slaves. There are different patterns available e.g. all
connected LED PARs do the same, each shows different patterns, chaser programs, fade in –
fade out patterns and fade over patterns. The steps of the patterns can be controlled by music
beat or by a potentiometer. The music sensitivity is controllable. The colour patterns offers a
100% colour mode, a 100% / 50% colour mode, and a 100% / 75% / 50% /25% colour mode.
The colours are shown by random.
A 3ch DMX slave mode is supported, for easy connection in a DMX syste m. All 512channels
are supported.
Stand alone modes colour change, fading patterns and fixed colour settings are supported.

2.1 Supported function modes
2.1.1 Modes which support DMX input or DMX output
2.1.1.1 5 channel master mode
In this mode the LED PAR is used as a 4 channel DMX master.
The 5channel master mode is offered to be compatible to the first revision of the LED PAR.
The 5channel master mode uses build in functions of the LED PARs. Which will be
controlled by the DMX signal.
There are different patterns available e.g. all connected LED PARs do the same, each shows
different patterns, chaser programs, fade in – fade out patterns and fade over patterns. The
steps of the patterns can be controlled by music beat or by a potentiometer. The music
sensitivity is controllable. The colour patterns offers a 100% colour mode, a 100% / 50%
colour mode, and a 100% / 75% / 50% /25% colour mode. The colours are shown by random.
2.1.1.2 3 channel master mode
In this mode the LED PAR is used as a 4 channel DMX master.
The 3channel master mode is offered for less consumption of DMX channels e.g. in case of
connected DMX power packs or other DMX receivers.
There are different patterns available e.g. all connected LED PARs do the same, each shows
different patterns, chaser programs, fade in – fade out patterns and fade over patterns. The
steps of the patterns can be controlled by music beat or by a potentiometer. The music
sensitivity is controllable. The colour patterns offers a 100% colour mode, a 100% / 50%
colour mode, and a 100% / 75% / 50% /25% colour mode. The colours are shown by random.
2.1.1.3 5 channel slave mode
In this mode the LED PAR is used as a DMX slave.
The 5channel slave mode is supported if the LED PAR is in use with the first revision of the
LED PAR. The 5channel slave mode uses build in functions, which be controlled by the
DMX signal. An external DMX controller controls the Led PAR.
2.1.1.4 3 channel slave mode
The 3channel slave mode is for use with a standard DMX controller. The LED PAR can be
controller with all 512 channels. Each colour is controlled by one DMX channel. All 512
DMX channels can be used.
8
2.1.2 Stand alone modes
2.1.2.1 Auto fade mode
There is an auto fade mode available with different fade in/fade out patterns and fade over
patterns. Even here a compatible mode is offered for use with the first revision of the LED
PAR. The fade in/fade out and fade over time can be set accurate by 9 time settings.
The auto fade mode supports different colour change patterns:
The colour patterns offers a 100% colour mode, a 100% / 50% colour mode, and a 100% /
75% / 50% /25% colour mode. The colours are shown by random.
The compatible mode is for use with the first revision of the LED PAR
2.1.2.2 Auto change mode
The auto change mode supports different colour change patterns.
The colour patterns offers a 100% colour mode, a 100% / 50% colour mode, and a 100% /
75% / 50% /25% colour mode. The colours are shown by random.
The compatible mode is for use with the first revision of the LED PAR
The change speed can be controlled by music or potentiometer.
2.1.2.3 manual mode
In the manual mode each colour can be set to on in steps of ~14%.

3 Overview
3.1 Back view
This picture shows the backside of the LED PAR.
DMX-Input:
In case of external DMX control, the DMX cable is connected here.
DMX-Input pin Signal
1 Ground
2 Signal “-”
3 Signal “+”
DMX-Output:
Connect here the DMX cable for next unit.
DMX-Output pin Signal
1 Ground
2 Signal “-”
3 Signal “+”
Function:
This 4 pin dipswitch sets, the function mode of the LED PAR.
Pattern:
The function of this 10 pin dipswitch depend on the selected mode, e.g. in chaser mode the
chaser patterns are selected here.
Speed:
Manual speed setting.
Music:
Sensitivity control for the build in microphone.

3.2 DMX operation
3.2.1 Building a serial chain
Connect the DMX-output of the first unit in the DMX-chain with the DMX-input of the next
fixture. Always connect one output with the input of the next unit until all fixtures are
connected.
The last unit of the DMX chain has to be terminated with a resistor. Connect a 120 Ohm
resistor between Signal “-“ and Signal “+” to DMX-output-socket of the last unit .
3.2.2 LED PAR operates as a DMX master
In the DMX master mode, the LED operates as a DMX controller to the connected units in the
DMX chain.
If the LED PAR is used as a DMX master, it must be the first unit in the DMX chain. Unplug
the DMX input cable of the LED PAR which operates as a DMX master.
3.2.3 LED PAR operates as a DMX slave
In the DMX slave mode the LED PAR operates as a normal DMX receiver. It is controlled by
an external DMX controller.

4 Function Selection
The LED PAR modes may be set by the 4pin dipswitch on the backside of the LED PAR
according to the this table:
SW4 SW3 SW2 SW1 mode
X 0 0 0 auto change
X 0 0 1 auto fade
X 0 1 0 manual mode
X 0 1 1 DMX slave 5ch

X 1 1 0 DMX master 3ch
X 1 1 1 No new mode (DMX master 3ch is used)
0 X X X speed control by potentiometer, if selected mode support it
1 X X X speed control by music, if selected mode support it
0 = dipswitch is set to off
1 = dipswitch is set to on
X = see information below/above
12
5 Auto change mode
The LED PAR shows different colours depending on speed selection.
In this mode the LED PAR is used stand alone, the DMX output/input is not used.
5.1 Mode setting
To enable the auto change mode, set the 4 pin dipswitch on the backside of the LED PAR
according to the this table:
SW4 SW3 SW2 SW1 Mode
X 0 0 0 auto change
0 = dipswitch is set to off
1 = dipswitch is set to on
X = see information below
5.2 Speed setting
SW4 setup the speed source. Choose the speed source according this table
SW4 SW3 SW2 SW1 mode
0 X X X speed control by potentiometer
1 X X X speed control by music
0 = dipswitch is set to off
1 = dipswitch is set to on
X = see information above
13
5.3 Colour pattern setting
The colour modes may be set by the 10pin dipswitch on the backside of the LED PAR
according to the this table:
SW10 SW9 SW8 SW7 SW6 SW5 SW4 SW3 SW2 SW1 Colour pattern selection
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 compatible mode - old pattern style
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 100% colour change
