Important!
The controller’s voltage setting must match your local mains supply.
The factory setting is printed on a label on the back of the controller. Check the
setting against the table below and rewire if necessary, following the instructions
on page 15.

You can use any DMX or Martin lighting controller to operate the RoboColor III
system. Control data is transmitted from the lighting controller via XLR data
cables to the data input on the RoboColor III controller. The RoboColor III
controller’s data output sends the data further to additional units: up to 32
RoboColor III systems can be connected on the same data link.
The RoboColor III can also be operated without a lighting controller in stand-
alone mode. In this mode, the system runs built-in sequences that are
automatically or music triggered depending on the mode selected. A special
master/slave feature allows several RoboColor III systems to synchronize (via the
data link) in stand-alone mode. These features are further described later.

The motor and lamp cables of each head must be connected to the RoboColor III
controller. Connect each pair of cables to sockets of the same group (1, 2, 3 or 4)
on the RoboColor III controller as shown below.
Important!
To avoid damaging the controller, make sure that it is disconnected
from AC power before connecting the heads.
