DMX-512 CONNECTION
If you are using a standard DMX controller, you can connect the DMX output of the controller directly to the DMX input of the
first unit in a DMX chain. Always connect the output of one unit with the input of the next unit until all units are connected.
5-pin XLR DMX Connectors.
Some manufactures use 5-pin DMX-512 data cables for DATA transmission in place of 3-pin. 5-pin DMX fixtures may be
implemented in a 3-pin DMX line. When inserting standard 5-pin data cables in to a 3-pin line a cable adaptor must be used.
The chart below details a proper cable conversion.

At the last fixture, the DMX cable has to be terminated. Solder a 120 Ohm resistor between signal (-) and signal (+) into a 3-pin
XLR connector and plug this into the DMX output of the last fixture in the chain.
MASTER/SLAVE OPERATION
This function will allow you to link fixtures together and operate without a controller. The units will be sound activated. In a
Master-Slave set up one unit will act as the controlling unit and the others will react to the controlling units' programs. Any unit
can act as a Master or as a Slave.
1. Using approved DMX data cables, daisy chain your units together via the XLR connector on the rear of the units. Remember
the Male XLR connector is the input and the Female XLR connector is the output. The first unit in the chain (master) will use the
female XLR connector only. The last unit in the chain will use the male XLR connector only. For longer cable runs we suggest a
terminator at the last fixture.
2. Choose one unit as master, find the control menu and choose the program which MASTER MODE is 5/5 showed.
3. On the "Slave units" press the MENU button to find d001. and press ENTER.
4. The slave units will now follow the Master unit.
SOUND ACTIVE MODE
This mode allows either single unit or several units linked together, to run to the beat of the music.
1. Press the MENU button until "F.xxx" is displayed.
2. Choose "F.001-F.010"
3. The unit will be sound to light mode.
