Configuration (DMX) Set the product in DMX mode to control with a DMX controller. 1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet. 2. Turn the product on. 3. Starting Address Connect a DMX cable from the DMX output of the DMX controller to the DMX input socket on the product. When selecting a starting DMX address, always consider the number of DMX channels the selected DMX mode uses. If you choose a starting address that is too high, you could restrict the access to some of the product’s channels.
Configuration (Standalone) Set the product in one of the standalone modes to control without a DMX controller. 1. Connect the product to a suitable power outlet. 2. Turn the product on. Never connect a product that is operating in any standalone mode (either Static, Automatic, or Sound) to a DMX string connected to a DMX controller. Products in standalone mode may transmit DMX signals that could interfere with the DMX signals from the controller.
5. MAINTENANCE Product Maintenance Dust build-up reduces light output performance and can cause overheating. This can lead to reduction of the light source’s life. To maintain optimum performance and minimize wear, clean the product at least twice a month. However, usage and environmental conditions contribute to increased cleaning frequency. To clean the product, follow the instructions below: • Unplug the product from power. • Wait until the product is at room temperature.
