adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.

# Do not operate at ambient temperatures higher than 95℉(35℃).

# Safe wire should be used to install machine. Bearing of safe wire should be 3 times of the

machine weight. Complimentary signal cable transmits signals to 20 unit fixtures at most

within 20meters. Signal amplifier is a must to connect more fixtures. Sectional area of

complimentary power cable is 1 ㎡. In daisy chain model, it allows to connect to 4 fixtures at

most.

sure to replace with same fuse/lamp size and type. Cut off power before moving, repairing

and cleaning the machine.

# Secure fixture using a safety chain and carrying handles. Never carry the fixture by its cord.

# In case of failure or misfunction occurred, stop using the unit immediately.

# Repairs carried out by unskilled people can lead to damage or malfunction. Buy the same

spare parts/components from manufacturer directly.

DMX CHART

Cable Connectors

Cables must have a male XLR connector on one end and a female XLR connector on the other

end.

A word on termin ati on: DMX is a resi lie nt comm unication pro tocol,

however errors still occasionally occur. Termination reduces signal errors, and therefore best

practices include use of a terminator in all circumstances. If you are experiencing problems with

erratic fixture behavior, especially over long signal cable runs, a terminator may help improve

performance.

To b ui ld y ou r o w n D MX Te rm in at o r: O bt ai n a 12 0-ohm, 1/4-watt

resistor, and wire it between pins 2&3 of the last fixture. They are also readily available from

specialty retailers.

Master-Slave control model：

# Set up one fixture as Master fixture(triggering) by choosing and saving from Auto1-Auto7,

Sound1-sound 2 or Manual),other fixtures as slave fixtures(receiving trigger signals).Set up

all fixtures same address value or following DMX controller performance(Attention: all

fixtures use the same DMX channel 14)
