This product requires an external power supply, which is included. The included
power supply is rated for 100~240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, 500 mA max. Before powering on
the unit, make sure the line voltage to which you are connecting it is within the range
of accepted voltages listed on the label affixed to the product or refer to the
Technical Specifications. The listed current rating indicates average current draw
under normal conditions.
Always connect the fixture to a grounded circuit. Never connect the fixture to a
rheostat (variable resistor) or dimmer circuit, even if the rheostat or dimmer
channel is used only as a 0 to 100% switch.
The Obey™ 40 may be mounted in any safe position.
The Obey™ 40 can control up to 12 separate fixtures. Each fixture must be set to
predetermined DMX addresses. Please see the chart below for the DMX starting
addresses of each of the 12 fixtures.

In order to use this controller with multiple fixtures, you must daisy chain from the
output of the Obey™ 40, using DMX cables to link from one fixture to another.
Use this feature to combine or unify fixture control attributes for different fixtures. For
example; if you are controlling 4 moving mirrors and 4 moving yokes, the color, gobo,
and dimmer channels may not line up ideally on the physical faders. Use this
function to reassign these channels to faders 1, 2, and 3:
1.
Press <PROGRAM> and <TAP SYNC/DISPLAY>. This will enter the physical fader
assignment mode.
2.
Select one of the fixtures: <FIXTURE 1~12>
3.
Move the <SPEED> fader to select the physical slider (control channel).
4.
Move the <FADE TIME> fader to select the DMX channel.
5.
Press <MIDI/ADD> to save the setting.
6.
Repeat steps 3~5 until all of the faders have been assigned for the fixture.
7.
Press <PROGRAM> and <TAP SYNC/DISPLAY> two times to exit physical fader
assignment mode.
Reset the fader assignment back to the original, factory settings by performing
a soft reset. Please see the section "Resetting the System" for detailed
instructions on this procedure.
When moving channels, you must relocate the previously addressed channel
to a new location. For example: when moving channel 12 to channel 1, channel
1 must be relocated to a new channel.
