PERATION
Configuration (DMX)
Set this product in DMX mode to control it with a DMX controller.
1) Connect this product to a suitable power outlet.
2) Turn this product on.
3) Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX
input socket of this product.
Starting Address
When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX
channels the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too
high, you could restrict the access to some of the fixture’s channels.
The TriShot™ LED uses seven DMX channels, which defines the highest
configurable address to 506.
If you are not familiar with the DMX protocol, you may refer to the “DMX Primer”
section in the
“Technical Information” chapter.
To select the starting address, do the following:
1) Set DIP switch [10] to the OFF position.
2) Use DIP switch [1~9] to set the DMX starting address.
Configuration (Standalone Modes)
Set this product in one of the standalone modes to control it without a DMX controller.
1) Connect this product to a suitable power outlet.
2) Turn this product on.
Sound Active Mode
To enable the Sound Active mode, do the following:
1) Set DIP switch [10] to the ON position.
2) Turn the music on and adjust the microphone sensitivity knob until the fixture
starts reacting to the beat of the music.
The fixture will only respond to the low frequencies of the music (bass and
drums).
Automatic Mode
Never connect a fixture that is operating in any standalone mode, whether
Static, Automatic, or Sound to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller.
This is because fixtures in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that
could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
To enable the Automatic Mode, follow the instructions below:
1) Set DIP switch [7, 9, 10] to the ON position.
2) Use DIP switch [1~6] to increase the operating speed.
You may combine DIP switch [1~6] to reach higher speeds. The higher the
number of the DIP switch, the more it will increase the operating speed.
