The unit receives DMX values on a packet of four channels and mirrors the received
data on the DMX output (9). If a DMX signal is present the DMX LED (3) will turn on.
The four channels control the unit as follows:
If DMX-value of channel 3 is
lower than 50
the unit works with static colours:

000-255

CH4 000-049 Tact

050-255
Tact (050=slow / 255=max. speed 23 Hz)
Output mix presets can be activated by means of CH1 whilst the chosen mix can be
adjusted with CH2. If the value of CH4 is above 50 the unit is set to tact mode. The tact
speed for any fixed output mix chosen on the first channel can be adjusted from zero
(value <50) to 23 cycles per second (value 255).
If DMX value of channel 3 is
equal or higher than 50
the unit works in pattern mode:

The pre-programmed soft fade or hard switching patterns can be chosen by means of
CH1 whilst CH2 is used as a level channel. CH3 allows to set the fade time or pattern
speed from slow (value 50) to very fast (value 255). If channel 4 reaches a DMX value
of 50 or above a tact function will be added to the chases. The tact speed can be
adjusted from slow (value 50) to 23 pulses per second (value 255).
Note:
Whether the unit works in static mix mode or pattern mode only depends on the
value of channel 3. So make sure the value of channel 3 is lower than 50 to be in static

Security advice before use
General advice:
1. Read this manual completely before using the product.
2. Keep this manual in your records for future reference.
3. Follow all instruction printed in this manual.
4. Follow all printed security advice on the product itself.
5. Take care of enough distance between this product and sources of
hum and noise like electric motors and transformers.
6. Carry this product with greatest care. Punches, big forces and
heavy vibration may damage this product mechanically.
Protection from eye injury
1. Warning: Depending on the configuration of the device, this device
may reach or exceed the limits of EN62471, risk group 2, and may
hence reach to risk group 3.
2. To avoid eye injury, do not look into the beam from a distance of
less than 8.5 m (27 ft. 11 ins) from the front surface of the fixture
without protective eyewear such as shade-5 welding goggles. At
larger distances, light output is harmless to the naked eye provided
that the eye’s natural aversion response is not affected.
3. Do not view the beam directly with optical instruments such as
magnifiers, telescopes, binoculars or similar optical instruments
that may concentrate the light output.
4. Ensure that during setup and DMX programming, no persons are
inside a 8.50m (27 ft. 11 ins) vicinity of the device’s front surface, to
avoid that they may accidently be exposed to the light beam.
