however, do not connect the DMX input of the
master unit (fig . 5) .
6 Operation
WARNING To prevent damage to your eyes,
never look directly into the light
source for any length of time .
Please note that stroboscope ef-
fects and fast changes in lighting
may trigger epileptic seizures with
photosensitive persons or persons
with epilepsy!
Connect the mains cable provided to the mains
jack (6) first, and then connect it to a socket
(230 V/ 50 Hz) . The unit is switched on: After a reset
(reset of the motor control), the unit will return to
its previous operating mode . The indication on the
display (3) will disappear a few seconds after the
unit has been set into operation .
The settings are made via a menu using the control
buttons (2) (refer to chapter 8) . The display indi-
cation will appear when a button is pressed and

6.1 DMX control
For operation with a DMX controller, set the
number of channels and the DMX start address:
1) Set the
number of channels (8 or 16 channels)
via the menu item . The number of DMX
channels depends on the functions required
(refer to the table in chapter 8) and may also
depend on the number of control channels avai-
lable on the controller .
2) Set the DMX start address via the menu item
. For separate control of all DMX-controlled
units, each unit must have its own start address .
Example: If the first DMX channel of the unit is
to be controlled by the light controller via DMX
address 5, set the start address on the unit to 5 .
All other DMX channels of the unit will be auto-
matically assigned to the subsequent addresses .
Example: In the 8-channel mode with start address 5,
the channels 1 to 8 are assigned to the addresses 5
to 12 . Address 13 is the next possible start address
available for the following DMX-controlled unit .
When the number of channels and the start ad-
dress have been set, the unit can be operated via
the DMX controller . A dot keeps permanently flash-
ing on the display to indicate that the unit is in the
“DMX control” mode and that a DMX signal is
available at the DMX input .
When a DMX signal is applied, the unit will not
automatically go to “DMX control” . To go to “DMX
control” from a different operating mode, call up
the menu item for the start address or the number
of channels and confirm the setting .
6.2 Operation without DMX controller
6.2.1 Show programs 1 to 8
To start an automatic show program, select the
desired program via the menu item

If the music-controlled program is still running,

to ) .
