4. Operating Instructions 

Rev. 2 

Custom Program 

This fixture has individual control over each of the following functions via DIP switches: color, strobe, and 
motor rotation. These functions may be combined in any combination. Please see the instructions below 
for further explanation. 

 

1. 

Plug the fixture into power. 

2. 

Turn DIP switches [8] ~ [10] to the OFF position. 

3. 

DIP switches [1] ~ [3] control the color. These may be combined. 

4. 

DIP switches [4] ~ [6] control the strobe speed. Only 1 of these may be selected at a time. 
Turning them all to the OFF position allows the color to remain on constant. 

5. 

DIP switch [7] controls the motor rotation. Turning this to the ON position will cause the motor to 
rotate CW/CCW at a preset speed. This may not be altered. 

 
 

Do not connect a DMX controller to the daisy chain for this operation.
