4. How To Control The Unit
You can operate the unit in three ways:
1. By master/slave built-in preprogram function
2. By easy controller
3. By iLead controller (Please refer to the user guide of iLead) or universal DMX controller
No need to turn the unit off when you change the DMX address, as new DMX address
setting will be effected at once. Every time you turn the unit on, it will show 200S on the
display and move all the motors to their ‘home’ position and you may hear some noises
for about 20 seconds. After that the unit will be ready to receive DMX signal or run the
built in programs.)
4. By DMX controller
4.1 Master/Slave Built In Preprogrammed Function
A. Master/Slave operation
The unit can be linked together in daisy chain as many as you need in master/slave mode to
perform the great built-in pre-programmed lighting shows triggered by music.
In Master/Slave mode refer to the DMX settings below:
Master unit: DMX start address MUST be set to 001. (First DIP switch = ON, all other
are OFF)
Slave units: DMX start address may have any value but NOT 001 (example: set the
first 3 DIP switches to ON)
﹡
Dipswitch 2 “ON” has two functions:
1. Perform the built-in pre-programmed by music.
2. Auto mode: Eight Chase(At this mode press dip switch 3 will change the direction of
rotation
，
press dip switch 4,5,6 will change the speed)
5-
﹡
2-light show
Dipswitch 10 ”off” means the unit works normally and “on” means inversion. In order to
create a great light show, you can set dip switch 10 ”on” on any unit that is linking to the
master unit to get contrast movement to the master unit, even if you have two units only.
Dipswitch 10 on the first ( Master ) unit is no use for the 2-light show as it is the master unit
that operates the light show.
4.2. Easy Controller (by CA-8)
The easy remote control is used only in master/slave mode. There is a terminator for
connect the easy controller inside the fixture. By connecting the cable into DMX IN
waterproof cable entry gland to the CA-8 terminator of the first fixture, you will find that the
remote control on the first fixture will control all the other fixtures for Stand by, Function and
Mode functions.
4.3 iSolution Operation
♦
Consistent DMX configuration enable iMove to be linked together with iRock and iShow
and controlled at the same time.
♦
DMX address can be set remotely by iLead controller (Please refer to the user manual
of iLead controller). No need to calculate the DMX channels of each fixture in the chain.
♦
Automatic switching between DMX function and built-in stand alone programs.
4.4 DMX Controller
When using a universal DMX controller to control the chain of units, you have to set DMX
address by Dip switches from 1 to 9 to make sure all the units will receive its DMX signal.
Please refer to the following diagram to know how to address your DMX 512 system in the
binary code.
