GB
The unit provides automatic show programs and a
program that can be music-controlled via a micro-
phone (10). To call up one of these programs:

: fast movements, different colour se -
quence
: slow movements
: music-controlled movements and light
changes
3) Press the button ENTER. The program starts
and the alternative indication for the program
selected appears on the display:
Press the button ENTER to switch between the
two display indications.

7.1 Master / slave operation

Multiple WASH-40LEDs can be operated in sync.
In this mode, one unit (master unit) controls the
other units (slave units). Connect the units in a
chain. Please also refer to chapter 8.1, ignoring
step 1.
On the master unit, call up an automatic or
music-controlled program. Proceed as follows to
set the slave units to slave operation:
1) Press the button MODE / ESC repeatedly until
the display indicates one of the following operat-
ing modes:
, ,
2) Use the button
mode .
3) Press the button ENTER. The display changes:
Press the button ENTER to switch between the
two alternative display indications.
A slave unit may also be synchronously controlled
in a mirror-inverted way with regard to the master
unit. For this, the pan and tilt directions can be
inverted ( chapters 9.1 and 9.2).

8 DMX Controller
DMX is short for digital multiplex and allows for the
digital control of multiple DMX units via a common
control line. For operation via a DMX light controller
(e. g. DMX-1440 or DMX-510USB from "img Stage
Line"), the LED spotlight is equipped with 13 DMX
control channels. If not all control options are re -
, ,
quired or if the controller does not provide 13 con-
trol channels, the WASH-40LED may be switched
to 8 DMX control channels. Please refer to chapter
10.1 for more information on channel functions and
DMX values.
8.1 Connection
For DMX connection, 3-pole XLR jacks with the fol-
lowing pin configuration are provided:
Pin 1 = ground, pin 2 = DMX-, pin 3 = DMX+
For connection, use special cables for DMX signal
transmission (e. g. cables of the CDMXN series
from "img Stage Line"). For cable lengths exceed-
ing 150 m, it is generally recommended to insert a
DMX level matching amplifier (e. g. SR-103DMX
from "img Stage Line").
1) Connect the control INPUT (5) to the DMX out-
put of the light controller or to the DMX output of
another DMX-controlled unit.
2) Connect the control OUTPUT (6) to the control
input of the following DMX-controlled unit. Con-
nect the output of this DMX-controlled unit to the
input of the following unit etc. until all DMX-con-
trolled units have been connected in a chain.
3) To prevent interference in signal transmission, in
case of long cables or a multitude of units con-
nected in series, terminate the control output of
the last DMX unit in the chain with a 120 Ω resis-
tor (> 0.3 W): Connect a corresponding terminat-
ing plug (e. g. DLT-123 from "img Stage Line") to
the output jack.

8.2 Setting the number of DMX channels

To operate the spotlight with a light controller, the
DMX start address (
ber of DMX channels must be set. The number of
DMX channels depends on the functions required
and possibly on the number of control channels
that are available at the light controller. Please refer
to chapter 10.1 for more information on the func-
tions that are provided for 8- and 13-channel oper-
ation, and then select the number of DMX channels
accordingly:
