Please see pages 17-18 for more information about the Auto, Manual and IR modes.

01)

 

Fasten the effect light to a firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation. 

02)

 

Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket. 

03)

 

Turn on the music. If the device is set to sound-control, then the Astro will react to the beat of the 
music. Please see page 17 for more information about the sound-control options. 

 

Multiple Astros (Master/Slave control) 

01)

 

Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation. 

02)

 

Use a 3-pin XLR cable to connect the Astro.

01)  Earth 
02)  Signal  - 
03)  Signal  + 

 

 
03)

 

Link the units as shown in fig. 04. Connect the first unit's DMX "out" socket with the second unit's "in" 
socket, using a DMX-signal cable. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units.  
You can use the same functions on the master device as described on page 17-18 and 24 (Auto, 
Manual, Sound-controlled and IR). This means that you can set your desired operation mode on the 
master device and all slave devices will react the same as the master device.
