head movement, the color wheel, the shutter (strobe), and all other DMX traits. A DMX

controller allows you to create unique programs tailored to your individual  needs.  The

Power Wash™ uses 14 DMX channels. See page 27 for detailed description of the

DMX traits.

1.  To control your fixture in DMX mode, follow the set-up procedures on  pages

13-15 as well as the set-up specifications  that are included  with your DMX

controller.

2.  Use the controller’s faders to control the various DMX fixture traits.This will

allow you to create your own programs.

3.  Follow the instruction on page 18 to set the DMX address.

4. For longer cable runs (more than a 100 feet) be sure to use a 

terminator

 on

the last fixture.

5. For help operating in DMX mode consult the manual included with your DMX

controller.

Stand-Alone Operation (Sound Active): 

This mode  allows  a single  fixture to run

to the beat of the music. Only use  this mode  when running a single fixture, or

when running several fixtures as individuals.

1.  Mount your fixture in a secure and stable manner.

2. Access the main menu and select the 

AUDI

 function, this will give you

access to the audio submenu. See page 16 for the menu breakdown.

3. In the audio submenu choose the audio chase speed, fast or slow. Slow

(

ASLW

) will trigger the chase  sequence to every two beats, while fast

(

AFST

) will trigger the chase  impulse every beat. See page 16 for more

details.

4. Be sure the Master (

MSTR

) function is switched “ON,“ and  the SVPT function

is switched “OFF.“

5. Choose your room size. The 

size

 

function allows you to choose  a  the

approximate size of the room (

NORM, BIG, MIDL, SMAL

). The  built-in

programs will automatically adjust to your slection  to optimize light output for

your room.
