Operating Modes:
The Electra LED DMX
™
can run as a stand alone fixture or in a master/
slave configuration. It has two operating modes:
• Sound Active mode -
The unit will react to sound, chasing through
the several built in programs. You can also use the optional UC3
Remote Control to blackout the fixture or control different functions.
• DMX control mode -
This function will allow you to control each
individual fixtures traits with a standard DMX 512 controller such as
the American DJ Show Designer.
™
For best results use fog or special effects smoke to enhance the
beams projections.
Sound Active Mode:
1. To operate the fixture in sound active mode, put dipswitch #1 in
the “On” position.
2. The Electra LED DMX™ will now react to the bass sound of music
via the internal microphone.
4. The optional
UC3 Controller
(not included)
may be used to con-
trol different functions including blackout.
DMX Mode:
Operating through a DMX controller give the user the freedom to cre-
ate their own programs tailored to their own individual needs. Follow
the the set-up directions that come with your DMX controller.
1. This function will allow you to control each individual fixture’s
traits with a standard Elation
®
DMX 512 controller.
2. The Electra LED DMX™ uses three DMX channels to operate;
Channel 1 is Pan, channel 2 is Pattterns & Chases, and channel 3
is Strobe.
3. To run your fixture in DMX mode, plug in the fixture via the XLR
connections to any standard DMX controller. Set your desired
DMX address using the dipswitches on the bottom of the fixture.
To set your address you can use the address chart on page 11.
4. Plug in the fixture via the XLR connections to any standard DMX
controller.
Master-Slave Operation:
This function will allows you to link units together to run in a Master-
Slave mode. In Master-Slave operation one unit will act as the con-
5-Pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-
512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX
fixtures may be implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting stan-
dard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used,
these adaptors are readily available at most electric stores. The chart
below details a proper cable conversion.
