Installation Remove all packing materials from the Pulsator LED. Check that all foam and plastic padding is removed. Connect all cables. Do not supply power before the whole system is set up and connected properly. Always disconnect from electric mains power supply before cleaning or servicing. Damages caused by non-observance are not subject to warranty. Set Up and Operation Follow the directions below, as they pertain to your preferred operation mode.
One Pulsator LED (Sound-control) 1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing. Leave at least 0,5 meter on all sides for air circulation. Plug the end of the electric mains power cord into a proper electric power supply socket. 2. The dipswitces have no influence during the Sound controlled modus. 3. When the device is not connected by a DMX-cable, it functions as a stand-alone device. For sound control dipswitch #9 must be set to ON. The other dipswitches must be OFF.
Multiple Pulsator LEDs (DMX Control) 1. Fasten the effect light onto firm trussing Leave at least 1 meter on all sides for air circulation. 2. Always use a safety cable (ordercode 70140 / 70141). 3. Use a 3-p XLR cable to connect the Pulsator LEDs and other devices. 4. Link the units as shown in (figure 5), Connect a DMX signal cable from the first unit's DMX "out" socket to the second unit's "in" socket. Repeat this process to link the second, third, and fourth units. 5.
Dipswitch setting for DMX Mode DMX products must have their own "address" to receive DMX signals. Addresses on the controller are set by flipping the appropriate DMX dip switches #1 - #9. You need to know that DMX address settings are the sum of the dip switch values.

Fixture Linking You will need a serial data link to run light shows of one or more fixtures using a DMX-512 controller or to run synchronized shows on two or more fixtures set to a master/slave operating mode. The combined number of channels required by all the fixtures on a serial data link determines the number of fixtures the data link can support. Important: Fixtures on a serial data link must be daisy chained in one single line.
