DMX address setting 

When controlling the unit (or units) with a DMX controller, each one must be set with a specific DMX address. You can choose to set 
all units with the same DMX address or you can set every unit with its own DMX address. If all units are set with the same DMX 
address all units will be synchronised and operate in the same way, you cannot control each unit separately. If you set each unit with 

a different DMX address, they will receive the DMX signal from their own DMX address. You will now be able to control each unit 
individually. The DMX address that you set for each unit must be determined by the number of channels. This unit has 7 channels, 
therefore you should set the starting address of the first unit to 1, the second unit must then be set to 8 (7+1), the third unit must be 
set to 15 (8+7) and so on.

Troubleshooting 

No output - 

the unit does not 

appear to work 

1. Check if the power cord is connected to the input
mains socket of the unit.

1. Make sure there is mains present to the cable,
check the fuse or replace the cable.

Lights are 

dimmed 

1. Check if the power cord is connected to the input
mains socket of the unit.

1. Make sure the mains input voltage is the
correct voltage.

No DMX input 

1. Check that the cable is not damaged.
2. Check the polarity of the pin connections is correct.
3. Check lf the unit is in DMX mode.

4. Check if 2 units are set as Master units in a chain.

1. Change the DMX cable.
2. Correct the DMX polarity or change the cable.
3. Set up the function mode as DMX.

4. Set all other units as Slave units in the chain.

Remote control 

does not appear 

to work 

1. Check that you have a ‘clear line of sight’ between
the remote control and the unit.

2. Check that the batteries are usable.

1. Aim the remote control directly at the unit
ensuring that there are no obstructions.

2. Install a new battery in the remote control.
