Setting up the unit
To activate the unit, connect the included power supply to the unit and a suitable 230V, 50 Hz power outlet.
Switch the on/off switch to the ‘ON’ position, the LED movinghead will activate.
Give the movinghead time to calibrate the stepping motors, which are used to determine the position of the
head. You may hear and see some shaking, which is normal. The stepping motors use an end point to
determine the beginning and end of their movement. After calibration, the movinghead will start the
previously used mode, but by default it is set to DMX mode.
The status of the movinghead is shown on the display (which
automatically shuts off after a few seconds of inactivity). The shown
values determine the current status and can be changed by
pressing the buttons on the control panel. The four buttons each
have their own function, for easy navigation.
Press the ‘MODE/ESC’ button to switch modes, so you can easily
select the built-in automatic, music controlled or DMX mode.
To adjust settings, or to read certain values, the display will show several codes. An explanation for each
code can be found below:

When using several fixtures in master/slave mode, please note that only the first fixture can be set to master
settings. The other fixtures will respond as slaves, which will mimic the movement, intensity and colours of
the first fixture.
Working modes:
The ERO Minibeam 12 movinghead is equipped with several working modes:
- Sound-active mode: The fixture will react to music with an internal microphone. The microphone sensitivity
is digitally adjustable with the LCD-display and menu-buttons.
- Auto mode: The fixture will run through different colours and the built-in programs. The programs and
colours are adjustable with the LCD-display and menu buttons.
- Slave mode: The unit will run as slave fixture, thus mimicking the master fixture. XLR-XLR cables are
required for this function (not included).
- DMX control mode: Select a DMX starting address and a DMX channel mode to operate this fixture with a
DMX-controller. The fixture either uses 13 or 29 channels, depending on the settings you have chosen.
