You'll find an explanation of the various functions below:

ADDR: 

With this function, you can determine the DMX start address of the device. Set it channel 001, and 

the device will respond from DMX channel 1. Set it to channel 003, then the device will respond from DMX 
channel 3, etc.

CHND:

 This device is equipped with various DMX channel modes. With this function, you can choose a 

concise channel mode if your DMX circle is full and you do not require complete control over the functions. It 
is also possible to use the most comprehensive channel mode, which makes more channels available, each 
with its own separate function.

RCND: 

The Remote Control mode is a practical feature which helps addressing multiple fixtures, combined 

with a special controller which supports this mode. 

SLND: 

The Master-Slave mode is designed to sync multiple devices. A copy of the internal program is sent 

to the daisy-chained devices so that each one projects the same effect. The master-slave function works by 
means of standard 3-pin XLR cables. The only difference is that the first device in the chain does not receive 
DMX input. In Slave 1 mode, the device will copy the exact signal directly from the Master.

PLEASE NOTE: When Slave mode is activated, the device will wait for a signal from the Master device. In 
this case, it is not possible to simply select an automatic or sound-controlled mode! To cancel this, select 
'NAST' mode in the SLND menu, so the device goes to Master mode. Then, all standalone functions can be 
activated.

SHND: 

This mode consists of automatic programs designed for sound-controlled operation. In sound-

controlled mode, the device uses the built-in microphone that can be activated by means of the SOUN 
setting and adjusted in sensitivity. Any time the microphone detects sound, the device will change movement 
and/or colour in a way that syncs perfectly with your light show. If no sound is detected, the device will move 
slowly and change colour gradually until sound is detected again. 

AUTO: 

With this mode, you can select the same automatic programs as in the SHND mode, but they run at 

an automatic speed. The user can adjust the speed between 1 and 9, where 1 is the slowest and 9 is the 
fastest speed. 

SPLC: 

This device has a colour wheel with 8 colours (7 c open). By activating the Split Colour 

option, it's possible to mix the colours in between. This way, a figure can have 2 colours, like half red and half
white, half purple and half blue, etc. The Split Colour function is available in all modes, as well as via DMX. 

SOUN: 

This setting shows if the microphone function is activated or not, which you can see in the display as 

ON or OFF.

SENS: 

This mode allows you to determine the sensitivity of the internal microphone. The further the device is

from the speaker, the higher the sensitivity of the microphone needs to be so it can react properly to the 
music. The microphone is built to handle high sound pressure levels, but the louder the signal and the higher
the microphone sensitivity level, the more difficulty the device will have detecting the beat of the music. 
Experiment with the level of sensitivity and distance/positioning of the device to find the best results.

BLND:

 In DMX, the Blackout mode ensures that if no DMX signal is detected, the device does not 

automatically jump to a sound-controlled or automatic mode. This is useful with complex light shows in which
you don't want the device to move on its own in case the DMX signal is lost for any reason. 

LED: 

If the LED display is not in use, it can be de-activated by turning the LED mode OFF. The red symbols 

will no longer light up when using the device in a dark environment. Press one of the menu buttons and the 
display will light up again and show any relevant information. If the device registers that the menu is not 
actively being used, it will automatically turn off within 30 seconds. 

DISP: 

This function determines whether the display is shown normally or inverted. If the device is 

suspended, the display may be harder to read. This function allows you to rotate it vertically for better 
legibility.
