adjacent surfaces. Be sure that no ventilation slots are blocked.
# Do not operate at ambient temperatures higher than 104℉(40℃).
# 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.
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.
# Always disconnect from the power source before servicing or replacing
fuse/lamp and be 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.

DMX Protocol (13CH） (CH 13 mode of dimmer is determined by CH 13)
A word on termination: DMX is a resilient communication protocol, 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 bui ld yo ur o wn DMX Term inat or: Obt ain a 120-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),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-7 or 11CH)
