When you configure a group of devices in master/slave mode, the first unit will control the other units for an automatic, sound-activated, synchronized show. This function is ideal when you want to start a show immediately. Connect the DMX output of the master device to the DMX input of the first slave device. Then connect the DMX output of the first slave device to the DMX input of the second slave device and so on.

9 Plug and connection assignments
This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip­ment 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.
Pin Configuration
1 Ground, shielding 2 Signal inverted (DMX–, ‘cold signal’) 3 Signal (DMX+, ‘hot signal’)

10 Troubleshooting
NOTICE! Possible data transmission errors
For error-free operation make use of dedicated DMX cables and do not use ordi­nary microphone cables.
Never connect the DMX input or output to audio devices such as mixers or ampli­fiers.
In the following we list a few common problems that may occur during operation. We give you some suggestions for easy troubleshooting:
Troubleshooting
Easy Move XS HP Wash 7x8W RGBW
41
moving head
Page 42
Symptom Remedy
The unit does not work, no light, the fan does not run
Check the mains power connection and the main fuse.
No response to DMX controller 1. The LED ‘DMX’ should be flashing on data transmis-
sion. If it doesn't, check the DMX connectors and cables
for proper connection.
2. If the LED ‘DMX’ lights up without response, check the
address settings and 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 inter-
ference to DMX interface circuits.
If the procedures recommended above do not succeed, please contact our Service Center. You can find the contact information at www.thomann.de.

11 Cleaning
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.
The fan grids of the device must be cleaned on a regular basis to remove dust and dirt. Before cleaning, switch off the device and disconnect AC-powered devices from the mains. Use a lint­free damp cloth for cleaning. Never use solvents or alcohol for cleaning.
