Setup
Connections in DMX mode
Connect the DMX input of the device to the DMX output of a DMX controller or another DMX
device. Connect the output of the first DMX device to the input of the second one, and so on
to form a daisy chain. Always ensure that the output of the last DMX device in the daisy chain
is terminated with a resistor (110 Ω, ¼ W).

7.3 ‘Auto fade’ mode
Set DIP switch no. 8 to ‘ON’.
Set the fade time by adjusting the DIP switches according to the table below to ‘ON’:
DIP 1 DIP 2 DIP 3 DIP 4 DIP 5 DIP 6
2,5 s 5 s 10 s 20 s 40 s 80 s
When all DIP switches 1 to 6 are set to ‘OFF’ the fade time is 10:30 min per pattern.
The time spans controlled by the DIP switches 1 to 6 can also be added up. If you e.g. set DIP
switches 1 and 2 to ‘ON’ the individual fade times add up like this: 2,5 s + 5 s = 7,5 s.

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐
ment so that a perfect light experience is guaranteed.
Please take our tips, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug
fits into a socket, the result of an incorrect connection may be a destroyed DMX controller, a
short circuit or ‘just’ a not working light show!
The unit offers a 3-pin XLR socket for DMX output and a 3-pin XLR plug for DMX input. Please
refer to the drawing and table below for the pin assignment of a suitable XLR plug.

1 Ground, shielding
2 Signal inverted (DMX–, ‘cold signal’)

Troubleshooting
Symptom Remedy
The unit does not work, no
light.
No response to the DMX con‐
troller.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You
can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.
Check the mains connection and the fuse.
1. Check the DMX ports and cables for proper connection.
2. Check the address settings and the DMX polarity.
3. Try using another DMX controller.
4. Check to see if the DMX cables run near or alongside to
high voltage cables that may cause damage or interfer‐
ence to DMX interface circuits.

11 Cleaning
Cleaning
Optical lenses
Clean the optical lenses, that are accessible from the outside, regularly in order to optimize the
light output. The frequency of cleaning depends on the operating environment: wet, smoky or
particularly dirty surroundings can cause more accumulation of dirt on the optics of the
device.
n Clean with a soft cloth using our lamp and lens cleaner (item no. 280122).
n Always dry the parts carefully.
