Setting up the device
- Place the device on a flat surface, or mount it in a 19 inch flightcase or rack.
- Plug the AC/DC power converter (supplied) into the rear panel of the unit and plug the other end into a wall
outlet or power distribution system.
- Connect your DMX-lighting by using XLR-XLR cables (Ayra recommends using special DMX 110 Ohm
cables, such as Procab REF953). Daisy-chain all your DMX lighting until every fixture is connected. Set the
correct DMX addresses (see the manuals of every individual product).
- Turn on the unit
Physical fader assignment (OPTIONAL)
IT is possible to collect certain fixture attributes and control them by using just a few of your faders. This
might come in useful when you use different fixtures with similar functions, on different channels. This way
you are able to patch certain DMX-channels (functions) to a certain control channel of your DMX console.
This function is useful for movement (pan/tilt), gobo change, color change, color mix, dimming and strobe
features of your DMX fixtures.

All physical faders can be assigned to output on a different DMX-channel. For optimal control, you

You can check what the assignment of a certain channel is, by pressing the Fader button of the
corresponding channel while in this mode
There is no limit to the amount of channels that can be assign to a single fader. You are able to assign all 48
DMX-channels to one fader.
CHNO corresponds to the physical channel fader. SLDNO corresponds to the DMX output channel
