INSTAL OPERATION
Important: The electrical installation should be carried out by qualified personal only,
according to the regulations for electrical and mechanical safety in your country.
Electrical installation for 1 standalone unit:
Just insert the mains cable. The unit starts working immediately in stand-alone mode.
Remark1:
You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the unit if you want to have more control. Refer to
“how to operate the unit” to learn how to do this.
Remark2:
if there’s no output, please make sure to set the unit in master mode and set the blackout mode
to “NO” and Sound State to “On” (see previous chapter)
Electrical installation for two or more units in master/slave:
In this mode the units will show a synchronized show, working to the rhythm of the beat.
Connect 2 to maximum 999 units together using good
quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit in the
chain will automatically act as the master, the other units
will act automatically as slaves.
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Done!
Remark:
You can connect a CA-8 remote controller to the
master unit if you want to have more control over the
master/slave operation
Remark2:
if there’s no output, please make sure to set the
first unit in master mode and set the blackout mode to “NO”
and Sound State to “On” (see previous chapter)
Remark3:
please note that linking of the mains power input is limited to 10 units.
Electrical installation for two or more units in 4MSL DMX-master/slave:
In this mode the units will show a synchronized show,
eventually working to the rhythm of the beat but you can still
control some functions on the master by 4 DMX-channels.
To assure proper operation you need an optional “Mini
DMX-SPLITTER” to isolate the master/slave line from the
main DMX-line, see drawing.
Connect 2 to maximum 999 units together using good
quality balanced microphone cables. The first unit in the
chain will act as the master, the other units will act
automatically as slaves.
Set the master to 4MSL channel mode (see previous
chapter). Check the DMX-chart below to see the
controllable functions.
For the DMX-controller the master and his slaves can
now be considered as 1 virtual effect that needs a start
address so it can be controlled as any other DMX-unit in
the DMX chain: see “DMX Address” in the chapter “Main
Menu” to see how you can set the DMX-start address.
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Set the DMX-controller according to the DMX-chart below.
Done!
Remark:
in order to work well to the rhythm of the music, make sure that the option “Sound State” on the
master is set to “On” (see previous chapter)

DMX-Chart for 4MSL working mode
Electrical installation in DMX-mode:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to “daisy chain” your DMX controller and all the connected
units with a good quality balanced cable.
Both XLR-3pin and XLR-5pin connectors are used, however XLR-3pin is more
popular because these cables are compatible with balanced audio cables.
Pin layout XLR-3pin:
Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal
(-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+)
Pin layout XLR-5pin:
Pin1 = GND ~ Pin2 = Negative signal
(-) ~ Pin3 = Positive signal (+) ~ Pins4+5 not used.
To prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to
interferences, you must use a 90
Ω
to 120
Ω
terminator at
the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this
simply won’t work!
Make sure that all units are connected to the mains.
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper
starting address so it knows which commands from the
controller it has to decode. In the next section you will
learn how to set the DMX addresses.
HOW TO SET THE RIGHT START ADDRESS:
Refer to the previous chapter (DMX-512 address setting) to learn how to set the starting address on this unit.
The starting address of each unit is very important. Unfortunately it is impossible to tell you in this user
manual which starting addresses you have to set because this completely depends on the selected channel
mode and on the controller you will use. So please refer to the user manual of your DMX-controller to find
out which starting addresses you must set.
