Operating Modes
The DMX-150SQ can be operated in three ways.
A stand-alone mode will listen to sound and run through its diverse range of built in programs. An
optional CH-X wired controller provides remote blackout control.
Master/Slave mode will allow the command of up to as many units you want in a synchronized light
show to the sound.
DMX control mode will provide the greatest flexibility and creativity. Each fixture trait can be controlled
individually using any universal DMX-512 controller.
Stand Alone
The Stand Alone mode is activated automatically when the fixture is absent of DMX signal or a
controller is not connected. The DMX-150SQ will run through its built in programs as it listens to the
sound. The optional CH-X wired controller also provides a blackout function.
Master/Slave
The Master/Slave mode will allow you to link up to as many units you want in a daisy chain fashion. In
this mode, the first unit in the daisy chain will automatically command all other units following. An
optional CH-X controller connected to the first unit in the chain will allow a blackout function.
Connecting the DMX-150SQ for (Master/Slave) operation does not require any menu or setting
selections. Simply connect each unit in a daisy like fashion using qualified 3 pin DMX cables as
described below.
Setting dipswitch # 10 to ON will invert the effect or mirror rotation in the fixture.

DMX Mode
Operating in a DMX Control mode environment gives the user the greatest flexibility when it comes to
customizing or creating a show. In this mode you will be able to control each individual trait of the
fixture independently.
