Tri Beam™
Control & Functions
1. XLR Output Jack -
This jack is used to transmit the incoming
DMX signal to another DMX fixture, or transmit a Master/Slave signal
to the next Tri Beam™ in the chain. For best results in DMX or Master/
Slave mode terminate this jack if it is the last unit in the chain. See
“Terminator” on page 9.
2. Power Switch -
Switches the power on or off.
3. DC Input -
Accepts a DC 9V, 500 mA minimum, power supply
.
4. Audio Sensitivity Knob -
This adjust audio sensitivity of the inter-
nal microphone. Turning the sensitivity knob in the clockwise direction
will increase the sensitivity to sound. Turning the knob in the counter
clockwise direction will decrease the fixture’s sensitivity to sound. If
the knob is turned completely in the counter-clockwise direction the
sound sensitivity function will turn off.

5. Dipswitches -
These switches serve two functions. In master-
slave mode these switches are used to assign a specific head address.
In DMX mode these switches are used to assign a DMX address to the
unit. In DMX mode each switch corresponds to a specific value based
on binary code. See page 7 for a detailed explanation of DMX binary
code.
6. XLR Input Jack -
This jack is used to accept an incoming DMX
signal or Master/Slave signal.

Fixture Cleaning:
Due to fog residue, smoke, and dust cleaning
the internal and external lenses should be carried out periodically to
optimize light output.
1. Use normal glass cleaner and a soft cloth to wipe down the out-
side casing.
2. Clean the external optics with glass cleaner and a soft cloth every
20 days.
3. Always be sure to dry all parts completely before plugging the
unit back in.
Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture
operates (I.e. smoke, fog residue, dust, dew). In heavy use we rec-
ommend cleaning on a monthly basis. Periodic cleaning will ensure
longevity, and crisp beam output.
