1. GETTING STARTED

What’s In The Box? 

 

• 1x PROKONTROL™ MH DMX Controller

 

• 1x 9 VDC, 800ma AC/DC Adaptor

 

• A Warranty Card & Warranty Info

 

• This Lovely User Manual

 

1.2   Getting It Out Of The Box 

We could tell just by lookin’ atcha.  You’re a bit of a control freak, aren’t ya? Just kidding!  

CONGRATULATIONS! You’ve purchased a GREAT little DMX controller! Bravo! Now that 

you’ve got your PROKONTROL™ MH, you should carefully unpack the box and check the 

contents to ensure that all parts are present and in good condition. If anything looks as if it 

has been damaged in transit, notify the shipper immediately and keep the packing material 

for inspection. Again, please save the carton and all packing materials. If a fixture must be 

returned to the factory, it is important that the fixture be returned in the original factory 

box and packing.

 

1.3   Powering Up!

 

All fixtures must be powered directly off a switched circuit and 

cannot be run off a 

rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer 

channel is used solely for a 0% to 100% switch

.  

AC Voltage Switch -

 Not all fixtures have a voltage select switch, so please verify that the 

fixture you receive is suitable for your local power supply.  See the label on the fixture or 

refer to the fixture’s specifications chart for more information.  A fixture’s listed current 

rating is its average current draw under normal conditions. Check the fixture or device 

carefully to make sure that if a voltage selection switch exists that it is set to the correct 

line voltage you will use.

 

Warning! 

Verify that the voltage select switch on your unit matches the line 

voltage applied. Damage to your fixture may result if the line voltage applied does 

not match the voltage indicated on the voltage selector switch. All fixtures must 

be connected to circuits with a suitable Ground (Earthing).
