LED CROSSFIRE

What are chases?

Chases are a series of patterns put in a loop to create dynamic (moving) effects.
When the value of CH1 is set between 009 and 250, you can use CH2 to select 12 different chases.
Use CH3 to change the speed of the selected chases.

Three DMX-modes are available: 1CH, 1MSL and 4CH mode:

1 channel mode:

Extremely user friendly mode: you only need 1 DMX channel to choose 1 of the 25 preprogrammed
sound random chases or you can use our Effect commander to switch the unit ON/OFF (no
switch pack needed).

1MSL - 1 channel mode:

Basically this is the same function as normal 1ch DMX-mode but you have the big advantage that you
can make the units work in master/slave mode to take full advantage of all the preprogrammed multi
effect chases! To use this feature, the units should be connected to the main DMX-line via an optional
Mini DMX-splitter.

4 channel mode:

Used to have maximum control of all functions:



Channel 1: mode selection



Channel 2: select chases.



Channel 3: chase playback speed



Channel 4: Strobe speed

OPERATE THE UNIT BY CA8 OR RF8SET

When used in standalone or master/slave mode we strongly advise you to use the CA-8 “Wired easy
controller” or RF-8SET “Wireless easy controller”.



CA-8 wired remote:

Connect the controller to the jack input of

the first unit (master).



RF-8SET wireless remote:

the wireless remote has two parts:



RF-8T:

small RF-transmitter that can control up to 5 effects.



RF-8R:

small RF-receiver that should be connected to the

DIN 5pin input of the LED CROSSFIRE. See the installation
manual of the receiver for more information.

Now you can control all the connected units:

STANDBY BUTTON:

Press this button to start/stop blackout mode on all connected units.

MODE/FUNCTION BUTTONS:

With the MODE button you can select 4 different modes:



The LED is off:

with the FUNCTION button you can select the

sound strobe function.

selected shows.

MAINTENANCE



Make sure the area below the installation place is free from unwanted persons during servicing.



Switch off the unit, unplug the mains cable and wait until the unit has been cooled down.

During inspection the following points should be checked:



All screws used for installing the device and any of its parts should be tightly fastened and may not be
corroded.



Housings, fixations and installations spots (ceiling, truss, suspensions) should be totally free from any
deformation.



When an optical lens is visibly damaged due to cracks or deep scratches, it must be replaced.



The mains cables must be in impeccable condition and should be replaced immediately when even a
small problem is detected.



In order to protect the device from overheat the cooling fans (if any) and ventilation openings should be
cleaned monthly.



The interior of the device should be cleaned annually using a vacuum cleaner or air-jet.



The cleaning of internal and external optical lenses and/or mirrors must be carried out periodically to
optimize light output. Cleaning frequency depends on the environment in which the fixture operates: damp,
smoky or particularly dirty surroundings can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the unit’s optics.



Clean with a soft cloth using normal glass cleaning products.



Always dry the parts carefully.



Clean the external optics at least once every 30 days.



Clean the internal optics at least every 90 days.

Attention: We strongly recommend internal cleaning to be carried out by qualified personnel!
