01) Fasten the effect light to a firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
03) When the Data Flash Strobe is not connected with a DMX cable, it functions as a stand-alone
device. Please see page 14 for more information about Auto Run Mode and the Built-in programs.

02) Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket.
03) Turn on the music. If the device is set to sound-control, then the Data Flash Strobe will react to the
beat of the music. Please see page 15 for more information about the sound-control options.
Multiple Data Flash Strobes (Master/Slave control)
01) Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation.
02) Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141).
03) Use a 3-pin XLR cable to connect the Data Flash Strobe and other devices.
The pins: 1. Earth
2. Signal (-)
3. Signal (+)
04) Link the units as shown in fig. 03, connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to
the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units. You can
use the same functions on the master device as described on page 14 (Built-in Programs). This means
you can set your desired operation mode on the master device and all slave devices will react the
same as the master device.
