A flashing red LED on the Thomann Stairville Hz-200 DMX indicates that the device is warming up. Once the required operating temperature is reached, the LED will go out. No action is needed unless the LED keeps flashing indefinitely, in which case checking the power supply and connections may help.

Operating Turning the unit on NOTICE! Fire hazard Do not operate the machine unattended. Connect the device to the mains and switch the device on with the main switch. The appliance heats up, the red LED on the rear panel lights up. As soon as the required operating temperature is reached, the red LED on the rear panel goes out.
Operating 7.1 DIP switch operation If you want to control the device only via the DIP switches on the rear panel, first set the switches 1 to 9 to [OFF] and switch 10 to [ON]. The unit then operates continuously and does not respond to DMX commands nor the remote control.
Operating Function 50 % air output 75 % air output 100 % air output 0: DIP switch is in ‘OFF’ position. 1: DIP switch is in ‘ON’ position. 7.2 Remote control operation If you want to control the device via remote control, set the switches 1 to 9 to [ON] and switch 10 to [OFF].
Operating 7.3 Operating mode ‘DMX’ Setting up the DMX address The value of the DIP switches 1-9 is binary coded. To set the desired DMX address, set the DIP switches so that the sum of the resulting numbers yields the desired DMX address. Please orient yourself by the following table: DMX address Hz-200 DMX...
