Mania EFX fixtures are supplied in DMX mode with DMX address set to 1.
If you want to operate a fixture without a DMX controller, you need to set it
to music trig or auto trig mode before use (see "Selecting DMX, music trig
or auto trig operating modes" on page 17).

Mania EFX fixtures have three main operating modes:
Music trig mode: In this mode, lighting effects are triggered by music
intensity. Multiple fixtures can be synchronized if one master fixture is set
to music trig mode and the other fixtures are set to DMX mode.
Auto trig mode: In this mode, the fixture runs a factory-set dynamic light
show that uses all the fixture's effects in a random program. Multiple
fixtures can be synchronized if one master fixture is set to auto trig mode
and the other fixtures are set to DMX mode.
