Control channels
dimmer
Channel 1 allows linear control of luminous intensity from zero to 100%.
When channel 2 (strobe) is set at 0 (zero), channel 1 enables
SINGLE SHOOT
use.
In this case, a single flash is given at the power required by the operator: it’s sufficient to use the
channel 1 slider on the desk or the controller starting from 0 and stopping at the value of the required
scale (parameter 0÷10, 0÷255 or 0÷100, according to the controller used).
When the value of channel 1 or channel 2 is 0 (zero), the fixture automatically goes into standby: the
Flasher doesn’t in fact have a power switch, which is replaced by the control electronics.
strobe
Channel 2 allows the flash rate of the Flasher to be regulated continuously.
The range goes from zero to 50 flashes per second, i.e. from off to continuous light.
When channel 1 or channel 2 are set at 0 (zero) the fixture automatically goes into standby: the Flasher
doesn’t in fact have a power switch, which is replaced by the control electronics.
Setting the strobe at 0 (zero), enables
SINGLE SHOOT
use (see channel 1 - dimmer).

Connecting the Flashers
The fixture has DMX 512 input/output.
For connection, always use quality balanced microphone cables
such as RF 60/12 2x0.25mm
2
or similar to avoid faulty fixture
operation.
To reduce interference, it may be necessary to fit the last fixture
in the DMX chain with a system terminator, made using a
120Ohm 1/4W resistor between pins 2 and 3 on the DMX con-
nector.
Attention: the cable screen (sheath) must NEVER be con-
nected to the system’s ground as this would cause faulty
fixture and controller operation.
