Operating Modes:

ferent modes. This next section will detail the differences in the 
operating modes.

light  show

  without  the  need  of  an  external  controller.  The  units 

will 

react to sound or chase through the built-in programs.

®

 Show Designer™ to control head movement, the color wheel, 

gobo wheel, prism, and the shutter (strobe). A DMX controller allows 
you to create unique programs tailored to your individual needs.

the different modes.

for detailed description of the DMX traits.

2.  To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures 

 

on pages 10-12 as well as the set-up specifications that are 

 

included with your DMX controller. 

3.  Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.

4.  This will allow you to create your own programs.
5.  Follow the instruction on page 16 to set the DMX address. 
6.  For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) use a terminator on  

 

the last fixture.

7.  For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included   
 

with your DMX controller.

Stand-Alone (Sound Active or Auto Program): 

This mode allows 

a single unit to run to the beat of the music or run through a built-in 
program.
