3. Connect the optional CA-8 controller for more control:
The CA-8 controller can only be used in standalone or
master/slave mode. Connect the controller to the jack input of the
first unit (master). Now you can control all the connected units:
• STANDBY BUTTON:
Press this button to start/stop blackout mode on all
connected units. The led is ON when the blackout function
is active. After about 30sec. blackout, the lamp will be
switched off automatically to extend its lifetime.
• MODE: (fast/slow)
When the led is off, the Falcon is in FAST mode. The beam
movements and gobo/color wheel are both sound activated.
Press the button to switch the led on; now the Falcon is in
SLOW mode. The beam movements are sound activated
but the gobo/color wheel is static and can be controlled with
the FUNCTION-button.
• FUNCTION BUTTON: (strobe/next)
Push the FUNCTION button while the Falcon is in FAST mode (MODE led is
off) the units will strobe in 3 different ways:
• Strobe with different gobos/colors
• Synchronous strobe in white color
• Two-light strobe in white color
Every time you push the FUNCTION-button while the Falcon is in SLOW mode
(MODE led is on) the colors/gobos of the connected units change.
4. Controlled by universal DMX-controller:
The DMX-protocol is a widely used high speed signal to control intelligent light
equipment. You need to "daisy chain" your DMX controller and all the connected light
effects with a good quality XLR M/F balanced cable (ex. JB Systems ref. 7-0063). To
prevent strange behavior of the light effects, due to interferences, you must use a 90Ω
to 120Ω terminator at the end of the chain. Never use Y-splitter cables, this simply
won't work!
Each light effect in the chain needs to have its proper starting address so it knows
which commands from the controller it has to decode.
