Setting up the unit

To activate the unit, connect the included power supply to the unit and a suitable 230V, 50 Hz power outlet. 

The fixture will start up and show the last chosen setting on the display. Usually, with a new product, this is 
the DMX mode with the value set on 001. 
The display shows several settings, each with the possibility to set several values.

Use the display and the menu buttons to set preferences, change settings and scroll through the menu. 
“Enter” is used to save a certain setting or preset, press “Menu” for at least 2 seconds to discard the change 
and return to the main menu.

The table below shows an explanation for every feature and value.

ADDR: 

DMX address setting, used to determine the DMX starting channel. From this channel on, the fixture 

will respond to values, corresponding with the amount of channels that the fixture is occupying. (For 
example, when set the starting address to value 003, the fixture will respond from channels 3, 4, 5 etc..)

CHND: 

The channel mode of the fixture makes it possible to use the correct channel mode setting for every 

application. For simple and basic setups, users may prefer to use the 1- or 3-channel mode. For advanced 
setup, users may prefer to control each pixel in detail, by using the 15- or 18-channel mode. 

SLND: 

When using the master/slave function, you need to connect 2 or more fixtures with XLR-XLR cable. 

The first fixture in line needs to be set as master, the others as Slave 1 or 2 (synchronized or mirrored 
performance). This way, the slaves will mimic the behavior of the master fixture for wonderful synchronized 
lighting shows. 

SHND: 

Show mode uses the internal programs of the fixture to perform a self-performing light show. Select 

one of the internal programs and set the speed to the desired value.

SOUN: 

Activate or disable the built-in sound controlled mode. This way, the fixture will respond to the beat of

the music. 

SENE: 

The sensitivity of the built-in microphone is adjustable, to optimize the built-in sound controlled mode.

For example, when your music source (speakers) are placed far away, you might want to increase the 
sensitivity to make sure that the fixture responds to the sound accurately.

Led: 

The LED display will shut off automatically after a few seconds when this function is activated. When 

pressing any button, the display will activate again. When deactivating the feature, the display will be lit 
permanently.

DISP: 

Display invert version – When using the fixture in a hanging setup, it is possible to flip the display, so 

the characters will be shown upside down. This makes reading the several statuses much easier. 

TEST: 

Self test mode, to control all segments and LEDs
