It’s the the moving part that can rotate or tilt to
project the light beam in any direction.
2) DISPLAY
It shows main information and settings selected by
means of the buttons (3-6).
3) MODE/ESC BUTTON
Used to select the setting you need to change.
Press it repeatedly to skip from a function to
another. Once completed the changes press it

5) DOWN BUTTON
When pressed it decreases the value shown on
the display.
6) ENTER BUTTON
To confirm the settings selected by means of the
UP/DOWN(4-5) keys.
7) POWER SOCKET
Connect here the power cord, which is to be
connected on the other side to a 110/220V
power outlet.
8) FUSE
If the fixture doesn’t turn on disconnect the power
cord from the socket (7), then pull out the
protection fuse from the small housing.
If necessary replace the fuse with one of
the same amperage.
Warning: This operation is to be made only with
the power cord disconnected, to avoid risks of
electric shock.
9) INPUT SOCKET
Connect here the 3 pin DMX input cable.
10) OUTPUT SOCKET
Connect here the 3 pin DMX output cable
INTRODUCTION TO DMX
CONNECTIONS
In a DMX 512 connection there are 512 available
channels. Each DMX fixture uses one or more
channels to manage its functions. The user must
assign a starting address to each DMX fixture
connected to the system. This address will indicate
the first channel used by the controller. You have to
plan the starting address choice in order
to avoid the channels’ overlapping. Otherwise the
fixture wouldn’t work correctly.
Example: If you need to connect 3 DMX fixtures,
each with 10 channels, the first unit is to be set on
address 1, the second unit on address 11 and the
third one on address 21. Anyway you can set the
same starting address on more devices if you wish
them to operate in synchrony. DMX devices are
conceived to receive data through a serial Daisy
Chain connection. With this kind of connection the
data output of a fixture is connected to the data
input of the following one. The connection order of
the devices is not important and it doesn’t affect on
how the controller interacts with each of them.
We suggest to put them in the easiest and most
direct sequence for cable connection. The signal
cable length should not be more than 100 m to
avoid interferences with other signals or electric
devices. To set the address you want to assign to
the fixture (from 001 to 512), press the MODE (3)
key until the display shows the symbol “d”. Then, by
means of the UP and DOWN keys, set the address
and confirm with ENTER.
To operate correctly with DMX systems it is
necessary to know the number of channels
available on each connected fixture and the
function of these channels.
Chart 1 shows the functions related to the fixture’s
channels in 9 or 14 channel mode.
It is possible to choose from the menu between 9
or 14 channel operation.
Chart 2 shows the functions of each of the 9
channels‘ possible values (from 0 to 255).
Chart 3 shows the functions of each of the 14
channels’ possible values (from 0 to 255).
Before using the fixture it would be advisable to
take a specific course on DMX systems for full
understanding of its potential and functions.
